[Intro: Phish & crowd]

All these niggas and all these hoes in here, 

Somebody here gon' fuck!

All these niggas and all these hoes in here, 

Somebody here gon' fuck!

All these niggas and all these hoes in here, 

Somebody here gon' fuck!

All these niggas and all these hoes in here, 

Somebody here gon' fuck!


[Verse 1: Hittman]

Talking that, walking that, spittin' at hoes

Smoking this, drinking that, gettin' at hoes

Fuck this, I'm hitting that, I'm hitting 'em both

Have one riding dick, one licking my toes

When I'm loving these hoes there ain't no love involved

No hugs, no kisses, bear rugs, bare britches

Rare bitches, like them hoes in them Black Tail pictures

Bitch, jumped off my dick

( "Is that Dre over there?" )


[Verse 2: Dr. Dre]

Yeah, I just took some ecstasy

Ain't no telling what the side effects could be

All these fine bitches equal sex to me

Plus I got this bad bitch laying next to me

No doubt, sat back on the couch

Pants down, rubber on, set to turn that ass out

Laid the bitch out, then I put it in her mouth

Pulled out, nutted on a towel, and passed out


[Chorus: Kurupt & Traci Nelson]

Come on, let's get high (High)

Let's get high (High)

Come on, let's get high (High)

Let's get high, all my ladies

Let's get high (High)

High (High)

Let's get high (High)

Come on, let's get high


[Verse 3: Kurupt]

I make the '4 hop

Pull up at the spot

Weed by the barrels, in my G'd up apparel

Stomping in the party

Kurupt Young Gotti

I'm fucking something in this bitch

Hit 'em with some gangsta shit

Put something in your mouth, bitch – real tasty

I'm looking real saucy in my gangsta-ass Stacys

Hit the party, ease up, Kurupt with an ounce an'

Got all the hoes in this motherfucker bouncing

Bouncing


[Interlude: Mel-Man & Scruncho ]

Yo, whattup, Scruncho?

Mel-Man – what's cracking?

Wassup wit' all these ol' punk ass hoes in here?


[Verse 4: Ms. Roq]

Nigga, what? I'm a hustling bitch, I like them get-rich niggas

Them hit-the-switch niggas

Niggas 'bout the sex, and which bitch to hit next

While I'm kicking my game and collecting them checks

Got all y'all niggas vexed to fuck this triple-X rated ho

You say you ain't eat it, you ate it though

And uh, Roq don't stop, can't be dropping no drawers

To the niggas, how you figure? Got you shitting in yours

Yeah, little dicks always running they mouth

While a bitch is better off to masturbate and be out

All you bitches up in here know what I'm talkin' about

Get the loot, get the ice, fuck the wife, no doubt

Trying to live lavi', marry a big dick and stay cavi'

Holla back at them niggas that hollered at me

Pop the Cris' – whip the 6 and shit

And have all y'all niggas limp when I twist my shit


[Outro: Ms. Roq]

Yeah, bitch ass niggas

‘Hitting the switch" refers to the act of activating the hydraulics in vehicles (usually low-riders) in order to achive a bounding effect to the car.

You can see some extream examples of this below:

By saying that she likes “hit the switch niggas”, Ms. Roq is saying that she likes men that share the same style (and are therefore from the same area) and that can afford them
Low-Riders with pumped up hydraulics are very, very expensive; sometimes costing hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Other meanings for the term “Hit The Switch”, which can be found over at Urban Dictionary, could suggest that Ms. Roq is trying to say that she likes men who take charge.

It depends on how you want to interpret her motives behind these lines.

Hittman shed light on this verse and opening lines in a 2014 interview, in which he also addresses accusations of misogyny:

See, […] when I say, “spittin’ at hoes,” I don’t mean it literally. I’m sayin’ that I’m spittin’ game at the broad…It’s a trip how that verse came to be because I had written a different verse to it at first. But it got a lukewarm response, even Eminem was like “I think you should come with somethin’ else.” So I’m sittin’ there mad as shit tryin’ figure out what to say. I started thinkin’ about parts of Kurupt’s verse on “Housewife” where he says, “I had a dream of hoes, I had to screen my hoes, I seen my hoes in all kind of clothes.” So I thought, “let me play off of that same kind of sentiment for my opening lines,” which became “Talkin’ that, walkin’ that, spittin’ at hoes, smokin’ this drinkin’ that getting’ at hoes…” Everyone involved on that song was like “That’s it!” Later, Dre told me “I (was) testin’ you out to see if you had snap back.” I was glad that I passed the test!

This is a very objectifying and chauvinistic mindset, likely in character.
