In January of this year, I wrote what would end up being the catalyst for the DSG lyrics series I do on here. I look back on it un-fondly, though. Make no mistake, I love doing this, I just feel the original post of this felt really choppy and very incomplete.
In my original post, I made a guideline that I still follow for every post. First, the main albums. Then any featured appearances. Finally, any songs he made for movie soundtracks. A rule I set was that any lyrics that were covered had to be spoken by him. If a comment I made is from the original posting, it will be noted with a *. I've gone back, dug deep and found whatever I can perceive to be dumb, silly or goofy. Please... enjoy.
Also, I do leave things uncensored, so be cautious: strong language and very questionable phrases ahead.
"Jackpot"(2003)
Lil' momma a quarter piece, she far from a dime
-"Right Thurr"
Appropriate that our starting point is what put him on the map. Most people know, or have figured out at least, that referring to a girl as a "dime" means that she's a full blown 10 on the metaphorical 1-10 scale. So what's a quarter piece? After some digging, I found it to mean that a girl is so beautiful, that she's OFF the charts. Judging by the coin usage in the lyric, it's safe to assume Chingy is referring to a 25. I'm still trying to nab a silver dollar, myself.
Ain't no half-steppin'/Strapped wit' a nice weapon/Trick, it's against the law for her to move dem hips
I'm thinkin' 'bout snatchin' her up, Derrty, makin' her mine
-"Right Thurr"
That's kidnapping and that's highly illegal. Little bit of a postscript: "Derrty" is, from what I could gather, a slang term that people use in St. Louis to refer to their friends. Listen to Nelly's music and you'll hear the same thing.
She like it when I touch her 'cause she moan a lil' bit
-"Right Thurr"
This is kinda vague, sir. You need to inform your audience just exactly where you're touching her. If it's the obvious, then say so. I'm just gonna go ahead and assume you're holding her hand, because, I don't know, that seems funny in my head.
I swoop on her like an eagle swoop down on its prey
-"Right Thurr"
I don't know about any of you, but if I were a girl, I wouldn't be too much privy on a man analogizing me to "prey".
Her Man, he's so whack/Girl can I chase yo' cat?
-"Right Thurr"
She's taken and you're saying that he's whack? For what? He seems sensible enough, given that we know nothing about him. As for the last half of the line, I shouldn't need to explain it.
-"Right Thurr"
Not sure why a woman's hips would be considered dangerous, let alone, unlawful, unless she's smuggling something.*
Gimme whatcha got fo' a pork chop
-"Right Thurr"
According to research, this is a southern saying. What exactly does it mean? You're asking the wrong guy.
Make it hop(BOING) like a bunny/Girl, can I touch you where it's sunny?
-"Right Thurr"
Aside from the obvious(nice bunny reference), what exactly does he mean by "Where it's sunny"? "The sun don't shine" usually refers to, well, I guess the dangerous weapon this woman you're talking to has, but what do you mean? Genius.com is a great source for interpreting lyrical meanings and lyrics in general. All that came up for "Can I touch you where it's sunny" was "May He?" It's like how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie roll center of a Tootsie pop: The world may never know.*
Let's do the math. That's 10 G's times 52, that's over half a million dollars a year.
-"Jackpot The Pimp(Skit)"
This is from a skit, not an actual song. Jackpot was, I'm assuming, Chingy's alter ego. Sure. Fat Joe has Joey Crack, Eminem has Slim Shady and Chingy has... just a slightly sleazier version of himself. I just thought this line was funny; imagine if a math teacher taught like this, not really explaining anything and not giving a specific answer. At least he's not wrong. 10,000 dollars a week would eventually equal up to $520,000 a year. Pimpin' ain't easy.*
I'm the tree in the forest that's on fire
-"Wurrs My Cash"
That's not necessarily a good thing...
Willin' to work fo' it, throw in they purse fo' it/down wit' me if they put in a hearse fo' it/lie in the dirt fo' it
-"Wurrs My Cash"
Seeing as how he's rapping from his Jackpot persona, he really could care less if his workers end up losing their lives to this pimp game.
Girl I don't want no brain, gimme a pop quiz
-"Chingy Jackpot"
I think I figured this out. Brain = Head. Pop = Cherry. And people say I suck at math.
Treat my women like construction workers work the street.
-"Chingy Jackpot"
So... ? "Jackhammer" is occasionally used as a sexual euphemism, but if that was the idea, then just say it.*
Take it to New York and party in Madison Squrr
-"Chingy Jackpot"
There's a Madison SQUARE in New York, but no Madison Squrr and certainly no Madison Squrr Gurrden.
Now I'm at the bar/chicks treatin' me like a star/in my face, askin' questions and can they ride in my car?/I'm law, so authorities can't pin me fo' shit/hey baby, see me and you, we can pack it up and split.
-"Sample Dat Ass"(featuring Murphy Lee)
Aside from Murph Durph's dumbass opening line in his verse(If your ass is fat, and you know it, clap your hands), and the song title in general(Sample? Are you at a deli?), Chingy posts a conundrum. First, "they're treating me like a star". If English teachers taught me anything, the use of the world "Like" in that sentence alludes to a simile, That means, he feels like a star and isn't actually one. Maybe he recorded this before he hit it big. Second, he's not part of ANY law enforcement, so whatever you plan on doing... don't do it.*
I'm a squirrel searchin' for a nut
-"Sample Dat Ass"(featuring Murphy Lee)
I hope it's as exciting as Scrat's adventures in "Ice Age". Or maybe he's talking about something else. What could it be, though? Oh, wait a minute...
She was wit' her mom at BANK AMURRICA!
-"One Call Away"(featuring J. Weav)
I prefer Fifth Thurrd, thank you very much.
My phone rang/it was her in the shower/she said I couldn't do without ya
-"One Call Away"(featuring J-Weav)
The second of three HUGE singles off the album, Chingy poses as a hopeless(ly rich) romantic, BUT correct me if I'm wrong: phone's weren't waterproof in 2003, thereby making her cellular conversation in the shower impossible. Verizon doesn't have a Chingy plan.*
She in the bed wit' a see through thong, I looked at her and said...
-"One Call Away"(featuring J. Weav)
Thongs are skimpy by nature, so if it's see through, then what's the point? It's null and void. Objection? Overruled.
Women lookin' like "that's him" like they seen the pope
-"Gettin' It"
Besides this song being featured on the soundtrack for "2 Fast 2 Furious"(interesting, because this song is nowhere in the final film), I don't think Ching-a-ling would ever be mistaken for the Pope.*
Ching-A-Ling/equipped with much ding-a-ling
-"Holidae Inn"(featuring Ludacris and Snoop Dogg)
...I wouldn't personally know.*
Crazy as a mental patient in a wheelchurr
-"Juice"
I fully believe he just wanted to say "wheelchurr".
Let's play Truth or Durr
-"Juice"
I'd love to, I pick durr.
Man I gotta leave the subizzurb
-"Madd @ Me"
I've lived in the suburbs before, but I wouldn't mind taking a trip to a subizzurb.
I'm constantly gettin' calls from the murr
-"Right Thurr(Remix)"(featuring Trina and Jermaine Dupri)
Ahem.....May-yor. Mayor,
I wanna bet she got tha bomb like a terrorist/She wit' it, I'll hit it, though I ain't thinkin' 'bout murraige/I love these honeys, might as well call me papa burr.
-"Right Thurr(Remix)"(featuring Trina and Jermaine Dupri)
Just like the original, he's comparing a woman with a deadly weapon. Why? Sir, if you love the backside so much, why must you consider it dangerous? And comparing it to a terrorist means you're DEATHLY afraid of the caboose. Nice Goldilocks reference.*
"Powerballin'"(2004)
Artists' think they hot, about as hot as peppa's
-"Give 'Em Some Mo'"
They dream of Californication, Chingy.
Screw Bill Gates
-"Give 'Em Some Mo'"
That's an outrageously bold statement to claim on your album, sir. You have some explaining to do.
Doin' it like Donald Trump
-"Fall-N"(featuring the Git-It-Boyz)
Considering it was 2004, that's credible. But why tell one billionaire to screw off and praise the other? Pick your battles, man. In 2017?.... I'll keep my two pennies to myself.
Girl I know ya do the nasty/I can tell when ya walk past me
-"Balla Baby"
His pimpin' senses are tinglin'.
I Like 'em black, white, Puerto-rican or hatian/Japanese, chinese or even asian
-"Balla Baby"
This lyric is actually notorious, even ending up on a lot of lists of dumb rap lyrics, and it's pretty obvious: Japanese and Chinese are of Asian descent, therefore, you just repeated yourself and to an embarrassing degree.*
Instead of God, it's me these girls praisin'
-"Balla Baby"
Praising = Praying. Praying = Down On Knees. Oh...
Outside, I gotta fly drop/You hungry? 'Round your girls up and we can all go to iHOP
"Leave Wit' Me"(featuring R. Kelly)
Yeah, 'cause my idea of a wild night out that will eventually lead into a one night stand is... going out to iHOP. Are there even iHOP's still around Northeast Ohio? I haven't been to one in YEARS.*
The way you sweep me off my feet, you should be a broom
-"Leave Wit' Me"(featuring R. Kelly)
Classy.*
Lookin' at your sexy ass make me wanna write a check
-"Leave Wit' Me"(featuring R. Kelly)
How insulting, actually. You just compared your date to a prostitute. Wait a minute... I almost forgot, this song is being done from his Jackpot the Pimp persona. Carry on, then.*.
I got enough game to hit Queen Elizabeth/My blood blue, so you know I'm royalty
-"Leave Wit' Me"(featuring R. Kelly)
That's right, he's such a baller that he can even go after Queen Elizabeth.*
Girl make that ass talk fo' me/'cause I can hurr it real clurr when ya walk fo' me
-"Make That Ass Talk"(featuring Ziggy)
How does one make it talk, really? If you hear it loud and clurr, then describe how it's happening. What are you seeing, feeling, hurring? I have an idea:
I know ya high class/I know ya see me when I(SKIRT) right past/I know ya gettin' it with ya fly ass
-"Make That Ass Talk"(featuring Ziggy)
With this title, it's obvious there's a theme going. I have no idea who Ziggy is. This time, he's talked about it so much that it seems like he has a dangerous addiction; almost like he's a crack fiend: if he doesn't get his daily fix of ass, he's gonna go through withdrawals.*
And fo' you I go ova my budget, no I ain't cheap
-"Don't Worry"(featuring Janet Jackson)
First, yes, the Janet Jackson. Second, stop for a second, Chingy. You need to make sure you're taken care of as well.
IRS trippin', so FUCK the FEDS
-"All The Way To St. Lou"(featuring David Banner and Nate Dogg)
They're probably after you 'cause you went over budget with Janet. I told you!!
Yo chick still want me, even though she pregnant
-"26's"(featuring Lil' Wayne)
Highly unlikely; odds are she was out shopping for baby clothes at Target when you came rolling up. Besides, it's in the baby's best interest to not see you when he's born.
Abracadabra, then I apurr in the back
-"We Clubbin"
I heard his magic tricks are on par with David Cop-A-Feel.
Baby, pop yo' p, move yo' elbows and drop yo' knee's/and put it where I could see, 'cause we CLUBBIN'
-"We Clubbin'"
What kind of seizure move are you requesting her to do? And "pop your p?" GROSS.*
Man you know I'm swervin' wild/see yo' boy not sober
-"We Clubbin"
You know, after coming under scrutiny from the IRS, requesting posteriors to speak to him and hunting after pregnant women, condoning drunk driving isn't shocking.
Don't need a push-up bra/her titties already plump
-"Wurr Da Git It Gurlz At"(featuring The G.I.B.)
You readers can't see it, but my knees are very weak right now.
These trick-ass cowards should be wurrin' Tampax
-"Bring Da Beef"(featuring The G.I.B.)
Maybe they do, I don't know. "Trick" is derogatory slang for women, so he could just as well be talking to a girl going though a rough time.
Girls like my nuts so much, that they be scurrin' me
-"What Up Wit' It"(featuring The G.I.B.)
Really? After almost everything that's been flying out of your mouth, THAT'S what scares you?
I'm like a long awaited sitcom, now they aurrin' me
-"What Up Wit' It"(featuring The G.I.B.)
If it's on the same time as "Judge Judy", I probably won't be able to watch.
"Hoodstar"(2006)
Cops come, I swallow rocks like I do cough drops
-"Hands Up"
It's obvious that a big part of rap is talking about drugs in some way shape or form, but I'm pretty sure that swallowing a handful of crack rocks like they're cough drops is lethal. Also, cough drops aren't meant to be swallowed; you suck on them to help get rid of your cough until they dissolve.*
We tha shit, I put that on my life/piss me off, this magic stick, I'll put it on yo' wife
-"Hands Up"
Chingy, Chingy, Chingy, I highly doubt that committing infidelity is gonna help your case in any situation.*
Betta yet, I tell ya what, I'ma give yo' ass a referral
-"Bounce That"
Another fine lyric, showcasing his love for all things bodacious. Although, giving it a referral usually means a write-up. Are you trying to write-up someone's ass? What is going on with you?! You're terrified of peoples backsides so much that you think they're gonna cause terrorist level violence so, now, you're gonna become part of the police force and issue fines to butts you think are suspicious? That's just asinine. Pun intended.*
Type of thighs make ya boy wanna back his springs up
-"Bounce That"
Case in point.*
I've been through the dirt, been slammed from right to left/I've been hit, been low, been high I guess/I'm like a Cadillac door
-"Cadillac Door"(featuring Midwest City)
Technically breaking my rule but only once, because this is the chorus of the song sung by Midwest City. Chingy actually goes for a serious vibe on this song and that's perfectly OK, but the chorus is perplexing; what exactly does a Cadillac door have to do with death surrounding you and raising enough money to support yourself and getting out of the ghetto?*
I bet ya had to jump up and down just to put 'em on/Bet ya had to wiggle it around just to put 'em on/Bet ya had to lay back on the bed just to zip 'em up
-"Dem Jeans"(featuring Jermaine Dupri)
Are we performing surgery? I don't understand. I've never heard, let alone seen a woman struggle to put on a pair of pants. Not even girls who are pregnant struggle to the degree you seem to be displaying, and they would have an excuse because they're carrying a child with them. Ah shit, I forgot...*
This girl might really be inhurrited to my bank account
-"Ass N Da Aurr"(featuring Young Spiffy)
Chingy does not say this. Young Spiffy does. I'm NOT breaking my rule seeing as how, I found out, Young Spiffy is Chingy's cousin. Blood relation counts. Taking a page from his cousin, this woman's behind has gotten him so enraptured that he'll bring her on to a joint bank account. 'Cause that's how joint accounts work.*
I keep glancing at hurr ass, tryin' hard not to sturr
-"Ass N Da Aurr"(featuring Young Spiffy)
One again, from Young Spiffy, he contradicts himself. If you don't wanna stare, then why are you glancing at it? Glancing is a form of looking. Looking is a form of staring. Therefore, you're staring.*
We in my bedroom/she ask can I take a shower/Hell yeah, thurr go the soap, lotion and baby powder
-"Let Me Luv U"
I'm male. That fact standing, there are, of course, things that go on in a woman's life that I'm clueless about. That being said, I've NEVER heard of someone, male or female, showering with baby powder.*
So we got in the Jacuzzi 'cause it's more relaxin'/call me Mr. Miyagi, 'cause that ass I'ma be waxin'
-"Let Me Luv U"
How does waxing in general amount to a sensual evening? Waxing is something you do to prepare for an intimate rendezvous, not on the night in question. And thanks a lot, now I can't watch "The Karate Kid" without looking at Mr. Miyagi's smile at the end of the movie as Daniel prevails, and think that he secretly wants to wax some ass.*
"Hate It Or Love It"(2007)
Err' color, err' shape, what I need and all
-"Fly Like Me"(featuring Amerie)
There's no reason why you couldn't say "every" instead of "err".*
I can see yo ass for evidence and I can prove it
-"All Aboard(Ride It)"(featuring Steph Jones)
Ahhhhhhh, so now we come full circle. At some point, between "Hoodstar" and "Hate It Or Love It", he eventually became part of the St. Louis Police Department(The Lou is where he's originally from) and has started crackin' down on each an every crack! Good job!*
Pardon my french, but I think we ready for a lady president/It's evident that it's a mans world so that's irrelevant
-"How We Feel"(featuring Anthony Hamilton)
This was in 2007, back when Hillary Clinton made her first run for president. In 2016, Chingy came under fire supposedly endorsing Donald Trump due to him mentioning Trump in earlier songs. What people don't realize or remember is that ALL rappers, including Ludacris, Eminem, Lil' Wayne, etc. mentioned Trump because he was a very well known billionaire. He even came out and said that and clarifying he doesn't support him. That being said, I wonder why he didn't bring this lyric up when he was coming under fire. As far as it being a man's world, I'm not so sure.*
I'm so flossy, I can wear the dental package
-"Roll On 'Em"(featuring Rick Ross)
Being "flossy" usually means being very flashy. Going to the dentist usually means sitting in a chair and being hurt and uncomfortable for an hour. Sooooo he's so rich that he can endure pain. Makes sense.
Featured Appearances
Come and test this, my gun I'm havin' sex with, shit
-"We Got"-Ludacris featuring I-20, Titi Boi and Chingy; "Chicken N' Beer"(2003)
"Chicken N' Beer" is one of my favorite rap albums. I love everything Ludacris does on this album and it feels like it's the one that represents him best as an artist. Aside from the other two rappers(I-20, which is the lamest rap moniker ever and even his album cover is made up like a street sign, and Titi Boi, who eventually became 2 Chainz, well, why would you have a name like Tity Boi?), Chingy knows that you can't have intercourse with a gun. Even if we're talking about a barrel, you might get away with a shot gun. You said yourself that you were equipped with much "Ding-A-Ling".*
You know I stay fresh to death like Doug E.
-"Can't Stop, Won't Stop(Remix)"-Young Gunz featuring Chingy; "Tough Luv"(2004)
I don't mind the YG's, I just don't listen to them a lot. At this point int time, Doug E. Doug's freshness has long since been thrown out the window, especially after he starred in 1997's "That Darn Cat".*
She hot like a boilin' pot, on the stove, like woah!
-"I Like That"-Houston featuring Nate Dogg, Chingy and I-20; "It's Already Written"(2004)
I love this song. It's insanely catchy and a lotta fun. Nate Dogg provides the hook. May he rest in peace; he was one of my favorite artists, period. Houston, well, he only put out one album and it looks like that's all we're gonna get. In 2005, while on tour, he suffered a breakdown and tried prying out his left eye with a fork. Yeah, that escalated quickly. He's recovered quite well, last I heard. I-20's also here, but who honestly cares? CHINGY. Comparing a woman to boiling water.He reallllly must think all women are a threat to the Country.*
Don't Make me up my piece and turn your brains into some jam
-"Fightin' In The Club"-I-20 featuring Lil' Fate, Titi Boi and Chingy; "Self Explanatory"(2004)
*Sigggghhhhhhh* so now I guess I have to talk a bit about I-20 now since this is his song from his one and only album. I-20 honestly sounds like a bulldog with a mouthful of marbles. Honest to God. Titi Boi has a solid verse here and so does Lil' Fate, although the only other song I've heard Fate on is a song from the "Shark Tale" soundtrack, so good start! Chingy demolishes his verse with aggressiveness, but turning brains into jam seems really out of character for him. You also can't spread toast with brains or effectively turn brains into jam.*
Excuse me, miss, I'm pullin' you over, 'cause your ass is extremely too fat
-"Get Down"-DJ Quik featuring Chingy; "Trauma"(2005)
IT'S CLEAR TO ME, that Chingy HAS joined a police force and is stopping all crack fiends in the area, pun intended, again.*
Soundtrack Appearances
Finally, we're gonna take a look at his soundtrack features. This means songs he specifically made for the movie, not songs of his that already exist and are just featured in the movie. For reference, here those are:
"Right Thurr" has been featured in the following:
-"How To Deal"(2003)
-"Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London"(2004)
-"Robots"(2005)
-"Identity Thief"(2013)
"Gettin' It" has been featured on the soundtrack to "2 Fast 2 Furious"(2003).
"I like That" has been featured in the following:
-"Coach Carter"(2005)
-"Robots"(2005)
-"Veronica Mars(Season 1, Episode 21: "A Trip To The Dentist"(2005)[LOVE Veronica Mars]
Now for the songs he made specifically for Movies.
"Shorty"
Made for "Love Don't Cost A Thing"(2003)
Nick Cannon featuring Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes and Chingy
Ask her can she drive a stick, now she steerin' me
First off, this movie is atrocious. It's a horribly embarrassing urban version of the classic "Can't By Me Love." The song is... not much better. "driving a stick"? I see what you mean.
"Fallen"(Zone 4 Remix)
Made for "Barbershop 2: Back In Business"(2004)
Mya featuring Chingy
Tell yo' father "don't worry, I'll play daddy, I'm grown."
I think the first two "Barbershop" movies are pretty solid. I don't mind "Beauty Shop" and I don't mind the recent third movie. This song is also quite enjoyable,but this line creeps me out. "I'll play daddy"? What kinda level of freakishness are you operating on?
"Professional"
Made for "Coach Carter"(2005)
Chingy featuring G.I.B.
I'm Dribblin' down yo' lane, in a 2-Oh-Oh-6 Range
"Coach Carter" is a solid basketball movie. Nothing more or less. How can Chingy dribble a basketball whilst driving in a Range Rover?
"Relax:
Made for "Fantastic Four"(2005)
Chingy
You soft as elastic/I'll put you in plastic/Man, I ain't average, I'm Mr. Fantastic
This movie is very silly. It's sequel is sillier. It's reboot is bleak and silly. This is such a catchy tune, I love putting this on repeat and kinda grooving to it. The whole song is like this, trying to incorporate characters and themes from the movie into the song and it's cheesy, but fun. But, "put you in plastic"? Superheroes don't murder people.
"Lookin' For U"
Made for "xXx: State Of The Union"(2005)
Chingy featuring G.I.B.
Two clips and a mag in my Gucci bag/let the weapon's bust, I don't fuck with them f**'s/stick my pistol up his ass, turn his future to his past
I catch a case, know it'll get beat/'cause I'm fuckin' the judge and she too in love with me/feds gon' swoop tryin' to put that bug with me to see/if I'm the one behind the hiss, you rest in piss, not PEACE
First, "xXx: State Of The Union" is one of the worst sequels I've ever seen. Take everything that made "xXx" fun(Action, excitment and Vin Diesel) and replace it with a stoic Ice Cube and a B.S. cliche plot that bores you to tears, it's just awful. That's why I'm looking forward to "xXx: Return Of Xander Cage".
Chingy, Chingy, Chingy, strike one for using that word. No-no. He's not homophobic, he just used that word to prove some sort of weird point. Sticking a pistol up his rectum will not get you anywhere. Unless the judge is a floozy, your case won't be beat. Even Judge Judy would tell you that's Baloney. Resting in urine is also going a little too overboard so strike two.
