[Chorus: Sleepy Brown]
Now, now, now – nine in my hand, ounce in my crotch
Diggin'✦ the scene with a gangsta✦ slouch, mmmmhmmmm!
(Like that now, like this, and it don't quit, and it don't stop)
Nine in my hand, ounce in my crotch
Diggin'✦ the scene with a gangsta✦ slouch, mmmmhmmmm!
(And it don't stop, and it don't quit, it's like that, and ah...)
[Verse 2: Big Boi]
See, niggas✦ in the South wear gold teeth and gold chains
Been doing it for years, so these niggas✦ ain't gon' change
They coming✦ around the ghetto,✦ so you might call 'em soul
Been wearing furry✦ Kangol's, so that shit is old
You might slang a rock or two, just to pay the rent
Five dollars for a table dance, so now your money's spent
You listen✦ to that booty✦ shake music✦ in your trunk
As long as there's✦ that "tic-tic,"✦ followed by that "bump"
I'm down to stick a ho if she got a G-string
'Cause the niggas✦ in the Point ain't changed, man
You might call us country, but we's only✦ Southern
And I don't give a fuck, P-Funk spot to spark another
[Chorus: Sleepy Brown]
Now, now, now – nine in my hand, ounce in my crotch
Diggin'✦ the scene with a gangsta✦ slouch, mmmmhmmmm!
(Like that now, like this, and it don't quit, and it don't stop)
Nine in my hand, ounce in my crotch
Diggin'✦ the scene with a gangsta✦ slouch, mmmmhmmmm!
(And it don't stop, and it don't quit, it's like that, and ah...)
Now, now, now – nine in my hand, ounce in my crotch
Diggin'✦ the scene with a gangsta✦ slouch, mmmmhmmmm!
(Like that now, like this, and it don't quit, and it don't stop)
Nine in my hand, ounce in my crotch
Diggin'✦ the scene with a gangsta✦ slouch, mmmmhmmmm!
(And it don't stop, and it don't quit, it's like that, and ah...)
Now, now, now – nine in my hand, ounce in my crotch
Diggin'✦ the scene with a gangsta✦ slouch, mmmmhmmmm!
(Like that now, like this, and it don't quit, and it don't stop)
[Skit]
Hold on, I'm 'bout to call my girl
(Man, see, how weak yo' game is?)
Shut up, you ain't even✦ got one, shut up
Hello?✦
Wassup?✦
Wassup?✦
(Get yo ass in here!)
I gotta✦ go
Hold up...
Mark wants– Mark wanna✦ know if he can get some cut-up✦
Some cut-up?!✦ {*record scratch*}
Ain't no cut-up✦ going here, I'll cut *y'all* ass up!

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"You might call 'em soul"

① A reference to the 'Soul' music/culture pervasive in the African American community.② A wordplay on 'sole', referring to their physical presence and gait when walking through the ghetto.

"P-Funk spot"

① A literal reference to the musical influence of Parliament-Funkadelic.② A shorthand for a location where one engages in the act of 'funking' (partying or illicit activity).

Authentic cultural depiction of Savannah/Southern aesthetics

High rhythmic consistency and pocket adherence

Effective use of onomatopoeia ('tic-tic', 'bump') to describe regional soundscapes

Limited metaphorical density

Reliance on colloquialisms that do not provide deep narrative layers

Fairly straightforward, linear progression lacking significant thematic pivots
