[LL Cool J]
Get them niggy✦ nuts, now here's✦ wiggy✦ what
Y'all need to do, when I come through, give it up
Paper✦ stackin,✦ daddy✦ get it crackin✦
Chains might be gold, the joints always✦ platinum
(And rims) always✦ chrome (jeans) always✦ pressed
(Loot) always✦ right (cut) always✦ fresh
(Gear) always✦ dipped✦ (honey)✦ always✦ bangin✦
(You hot?) Always,✦ my niggy✦ nuts always✦ hangin✦
Hold it down, rocks by the pound
The new 2002 b-boy sound
Hoes stand back, I'm shakin✦ up the game
You shoulda never✦ tried, to SLIDE in my lane
Guaranteed-to-blow-the-block-up
When-I-ease-this milky✦ white drop up
Wanna✦ bang ya, that's all you need to know
50 deep in Summer✦ Jam, I closed✦ the show
[Hook] w/ variations
[LL Cool J]
Nuts, y'all, baby✦ - stay flowin!✦
Hit Big B, tell him bring the Mo' in (bring it in)
Uhh - we rockin✦ to the rhythm (all night baby)✦
Uncut✦ raw, what we give 'em
Hell yes - bounce to the music! (bounce)
When the joint come on, everybody lose it
(This year) leave the bar, hit the floor
Represent, let these clowns know who you are
When it's bangin✦ like this, why stop? (Why stop?)
Ask me why I pop Cris', why not? (Why not?)
The flow of the century
Got your Belve splashin to the melody,✦ what you tellin✦ me?
This is fresh - 'til the day I die
Leavin✦ momma✦ with a tear in her eye
You was frontin for a minute,✦ now what?
You snapped when the joint dropped
[Hook] - repeat✦ 2X
{Neptunes ad lib for a bit}

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"my niggy nuts always hangin"

① A colloquial assertion of bravado and confidence.② A literal subversion of the song's titular slang, equating the metaphorical 'nuts' to his elevated status.

"SLIDE in my lane"

① Attempting to encroach upon his personal or professional space.② A vehicular metaphor relating to his 'milky white drop' (car) mentioned in the following line.

Strong rhythmic pocket that allows for high-energy performance

High density of internal rhymes creating a consistent percussive flow

Effective use of parenthetical asides to dictate cadence variation

Surface-level wordplay lacking depth in metaphorical mapping

Reliance on generic braggadocio tropes common to the era

Limited narrative progression outside of status signaling
