While Monch is “pouncing” (like a panther or tiger), you’re about a threatening as a pussy cat.

Also this forms a joke as he pauses before he says “cat”, making you think he was just calling you a pussy. Because of this, in the video version “pussy” is censored.

Monch is attacking rappers who portray themselves as “professional punks” when they don’t even live that life.

Note the heavy use of alliteration here (pitter / patter / prouncin / particular / poets / persist / portray / profession / punks / pussy)

Po is saying that he can only flow (“float”) on these type of beats. This one, like all the others on the album, was produced by OK themselves.

The half-sung second line is also a reference to the hit single (and one hit wonder) “Float On” by The Floaters.

Referencing a part from Eddie Murphy’s stand up Raw, where he does an impression of Italian-Americans.

“Moolie” is also an Italian-American slur for black people. It comes from the word “moulinyan,” which means eggplant.

“Shaken not stirred” is of course Mr Bond’s catchphrase.

In a stickup people are told to have their hands in the air, not as to try anything funny. This is compared to the rasied fist, which is a symbol of freedom and rebellion (in particular associated with the black panther group.

This actually forms an interesting parallel between fighting for freedom and turning to crime, both prevalent aspects of hood culture in recent years.

Nobody in the rap game is prepared to say stuff like this, as hip-hop has glorified gang violence, drug use and hood life for years. This is Lil B telling you what’s really going on, as opposed to sticking to what his hip-hop forefathers have spelled out.

With that said, Lil B does at times lapse into the old defensive method of gun ownership and confrontation. This isn’t for glorification or “just saying it to be saying it”, however.
