My loved ones didn't wear chains in early 2000s NYC clubs.
Even my mother has a .40...
lol at your family full of fags.

Isn't showing off your opulence gained from illicit means in front of impoverished people you exploited to gain said opulence...some crabs in a barrel shyt, too?
What about the Africans that harvested your diamonds for pennies on the dollar, under threat of murder?
Are y'all responsible for that? They're black, too.
People started wearing chains and diamonds to project an untouchable aura. If you're not untouchable or able to defend your property, you shouldn't stunt.

LMAO I hope OP nikka because that was the jams.

I stopped wearing jewels thru certain areas after that song came out even though I was only like 14

It's funny given how hardcore the song is, how mainstream and overused the beat is. I've heard the Ante Up beat used to promote a show on TLC recently. I think it was a show about home decor.

I wonder if Billy Danze and Lil' Fame see's these commercials and gets the dollar signs in their eyes like the cartoons...

Yeah but a lot of those dudes were the weak dope dealers that had something to prove. The big boys not trying to attract attention to themselves like that.

You running 1,000 kilos of anything thru JFK you not wearing rolex big rims and dookie on the block.

They don't see $$$ signs in their eyes just the royalty check come in the mail....

The '87 stick up kids

(what you nikkas saying?)

Get the fukk up out that 740 shorty I ain't playing

It's flash that thang time, (bang!) bang time
(Ante Up!) nikka, it's game time

Hand over the ring, kick over the chain
Gimme the fukking watch before I pop one in your brain
Stop playing these childish games with me
Representing 1-718 dangerously, nikka

It's entertainment. Do you also not like violent movies? It's the same shyt. Complain about M.O.P.'s ignorance with Gucci Mane in your avi brehs

 

[TheDarkskinnedDrake]

nikkas get shot everyday b

 

[mson]

Op softer than butt cheeks

 

[KangCraSS]

If you got money and valuables why are you hanging in the hood anyway where people are without

stunting is a form of disrespect, I know because I partake in it from time to time, the whole point of stunting is to shyt on nikkaz

so if you in a hood you not from flashing people will want to rob you, for one nobody knows you, and for two you are being disrespectful flaunting wealth in front of those who don't have it

so there's nothing ignorant about the song just the code of the streets

Word , I'm quite sure op tried to be the responsible black man by calling this song trash. But the lyrics are a cautionary tale to why you never bleed in front of wolves. Most of these nikkas according to coli standards think all you have to do is get "certs" and shyt is sweet. There are actual brehs who are to wits end and down for whatever to do what they have to. ... Everybody has a theme song.
