Lyrics
Will the hardest man please stand? The homie stood right up
Asking the toughest person to stand, and someone immediately stands up
Saggin' pants, gat in hand, the nigga was a nut
Describing the person as wearing sagging pants, carrying a gun, and being unpredictable
Looney low key (low key), O.G. (O.G.), been bangin' from the jump
Referring to the person as crazy, original gangster, and involved in gang activity from the beginning
Dressed in all black, ready to jack (ooh)
Dressed in all black, ready to commit a robbery
And he still don't give a fuck (still don't give a fuck)
Emphasizing the person's lack of concern or fear
A friend of mine, he used to be, before I got caught up
Reflecting on a past friend who was similar before the speaker got caught up in a different lifestyle
He used to roll with me, way back in '93, when I was broke as fuck
Recalling the friend from 1993 when both were financially struggling
Be prepared to blast, that's all that he ask, if he's to ride with you
Highlighting the person's only request – to be ready to shoot if necessary when riding together
We gonna make some cash (some cash), and dash (and dash)
Expressing the intention to make money quickly and leave the scene
You can toss him when ya through
Suggesting the person can be discarded after the criminal activity is completed
The hardest man in town (ooh)

-Little big man, don't you see me lyin' here

Pick me up if you dare (if you dare)
Encouraging the listener to pick the speaker up from the current situation
I'll make you're life easier, 'cause I'll be pumpin' fear
Claiming the speaker will make the listener's life easier by instilling fear in others
Disrespect, you don't have to take
Advising not to tolerate disrespect
If you see him comin', just wave me in his face (in his face)
Suggesting a strategy to avoid confrontation by signaling the person's presence
But you ain't the only one that got a friend like me
Acknowledging that others may have similar friends
So hurry up, let's go, I'm kind of tired of being broke
Expressing impatience and a desire to leave the current situation
I know you gotta get paid, I can show you the way
Offering to show the listener how to make money
So take me home, polish the chrome (polish the chrome)
Suggesting a need to clean and prepare weapons
Load me up, and put me to his dome (put me to his dome)
Preparing to use the weapon on someone
I got a lot work to do (ooh), so toss me and be gone
Stating the speaker has work to do, indicating criminal activities
You're a big man now
Reiterating that the listener is now a significant or influential person
You're a big man now (ooh)

Reinforcing the speaker's role in instilling fear in others
Nobody's gonna step to you, let them know I'm here
Assuring the listener that nobody will challenge them
And if you have questions in the corner of your mind
Encouraging immediate action without overthinking
Pull the trigger (pull the trigger) and leave your questions behind
