Bend over like Halle Berry on that part

When old boy knocked her off, I'ma dog I like it soft I like to rub I like to grip

To tell the truth I like them loose 'cause me and my thugs we like to flip

I like the friends who get involved all the broads say I'ma trip

I like the picture takin' pictures while you catch it on ya lip

I like to sneek and take ya shoppin' when ya niggas start to trip

Drink my liquor out the bottle on his couch and watch you strip

Stick a couple fingers in ya make it tickle make ya drip

Make ya holla like I'm robbin' ya like a pimp and then I dip

I want to get an ounce of hydro get Alicia eyes low

Take her to the suite and make her hit all of her high notes

Strapped up fo' sho' 'cause I don't trust no ho

Anybody can go Eazy-E, perfect example

Webbie references the movie Monster’s Ball, specifically the intimate scene between Halle Berry & Billy Bob Thornton that became one of the film’s most talked about moments.

Eazy-E was a West Coast rapper whose untimely death was publicized heavily because he died of AIDS in 1995. During this time many people still did not know much about the disease. Webbie says he stays strapped (wears condoms) so that he won’t get an STD.

“Hydro” refers to hydroponically grown marijuana, which was often considered higher quality. Webbie jokes about getting Alicia Keys high enough that her eyes become droopy before taking her back to a hotel suite.

-> The phrase “high notes” functions as a double entendre
On one level, it references Alicia Keys’ powerful singing voice and her ability to hit high notes vocally. On another, it alludes to the sounds she would make during an intimate encounter, continuing the song’s sexual theme.

When this song was recorded, rapper 50 Cent was publicly dating actress Vivica A. Fox. They split in 2005, shortly after the song was released. In her book Every Day I’m Hustling, Vivica describes the couple’s sex life as “PG-13” and claims that she was usually the one to initiate sex, so it seems likely she did a fair bit of ass-shaking to attract his interest.

“Up and down like Flipper”

“Flipper” is likely a reference to the dolphin from the classic television series, suggesting an up-and-down bouncing motion.

Webbie narrates the progression of a night out. He begins by taking double shots of Hennessy to loosen up while partying at the club. As the night comes to an end, he says he’s “switched to dosha and a Swisher,” referring to marijuana rolled in a Swisher Sweets cigar (a blunt), suggesting he’s transitioning from drinking to smoking before heading back to a hotel room (“got a room key”) with a woman he has been pursuing.

The phrase “dosha and a Swisher” was already familiar in Southern hip-hop, having been popularized by UGK’s song “Dosha & Swisha.”

While the lyric doesn’t explicitly reference UGK, Webbie’s close relationship with Pimp C—who became an early supporter of Trill Entertainment and frequently collaborated with Webbie and Boosie—makes the parallel especially fitting.

Whether intended as a nod or simply using common Southern rap slang, the line reflects the shared Louisiana and Texas rap culture that shaped Webbie’s music.
