Big Pun is bragging that, whether he strokes his girl hard or soft, she is still going to be hollering from the immense amount of pleasure it brings her.

Or, if you take in Big Pun’s reputation for abusing his wife, he could also be meaning that no matter the force he uses to hurt you – it’s going to hurt you bad enough to make you cry out in pain.

Because Jesus Christ, look at the size of his fist.

The watch he mentions in the above line is stainless steel, and his gun matches it in it’s quality.

“Steel” is another term for gun, so if his “tool” (more slang for “gun”) is of stainless steel quality, you can bet that it’s gonna cause some pretty noticeable damage. By “pretty noticeable” I, of course, mean “it’s gonna blow your head off”.

Another rapper to have used the term “steel” and referring to a gun is the infamous Eminem, in his song “If I Had”, off of his The Slim Shady LP:

Tired of not having a deal,
Tired of having to deal with the bullshit without grabbing the steel

All he wants is a million, sixteen bars aren’t enough to spit how big that desire is.

He “talks” fast money—the words he spit earn him lots of money. He “talks” fast money—he also raps about earning large amounts of money

Double Entendre from the great Rozay!

His people (black people) are stereotyped to be poor. This only fuels his desire to prove them wrong.

“All he wanted was one, 16 ain’t enough” could also mean that like all poor people all he wish he had was a million dollars, but he’s on 16 million and he making fast money so even 16 milly doesn’t satisfy his money making ways anymore.

“Split a wig” is a way of saying you’ve busted open someone’s skull. Busta is gonna beat on peoples heads (go hard in a song they are listening to) until it causes their heads to break open.

This is a double entendre;

  1. You don’t have to ask if Busta’s gonna deliver another awesome song (a bang), because there’s no doubt about it.

  2. You don’t have to ask how Busta handles his business, cause he does it with guns. A bang is the sound a bullet makes when it’s fired.

The record labels do not respect their own artists. This is R.A.’s way of alluding to the fact that he struggled with this at Jive Records.

But he doesn’t care. He’ll do some physical damage to them if they take his credit, though.
