I agree with "ChopsALotTV. Fat Pat verse is a classic & YES so many excerpts have & can be extracted from the G S#!t he was spittin'. R.I.P. to Fat Pat the spokesperson of 3rd Coast muzik.
@BigJalapeno Back in the mid-90's in Houston, it was a common practice for crack/freebase dealers to take cheap plastic lighters, disassemble them, then fill the hollowed out space with rocks. Made it much more subtle than a vial or a baggie. Get what he's saying now?
@BigJalapeno Far as I know, the first person to say "25 lighters on my dresser" was MJG on "All in my Mind" on the "On Top of the World" LP.
"Each and every day I have to test the, 25 lighter on my dresser, yes sir..."
I may or may not have something to do with slanging dope, but on that song it was just a superstitious thing he did amongst of other bugged out things he was thinking about. Bugging out was basically the theme of the song.
WUZ THA MUTHAFUKKIN DEAL R.I.P. TO THAT NIGGA SCREW AND FAT PAT TOO A.T.X. SHOWIN LUV FUKK ERRBODY ELSE TEXAS IS WER IT GOES DOWN HOE FUKK HOW YALL FEEL FROM LA CAPIRUCHA TO SCREWSTONE WE BEEN FUKKIN RUNNIN SHIT
but if u think about it smoking 25 lighters aint gonna get u paid ! so of course dmd is not gonna come out and say this is wat this means in a straight up way but make a song bout it
well i hear that the 25 lighters came from niggaz having lighters and taking the lighter apart and stashing drugs in the lighter and selling it in the clubs and mainly it was crack in the lighters sometimes pills or wet or wateva u slanging come on think about it"25 lighters on my dresser yez sir I GOTS TO GET PAID! I GOTS TO GET PAID is the main line that should tell you he talking bout slanging i use to think 25 lighters was 25 blunts and smoking that many
im so thoed in the game south side playa screwed up click mayne with the finest set you can bet me smooth as a vet comin through this mothafucka man hold up its let some niggas catch me ha i like that and some niggas act like they wanna pull da gat but they better watch out for dat boy PAT ask them mothafuckin hatas can they handle me cause i be so thoed in this game ill be so sure to leave a stain pop my trunk and dip dip niggas betta see a nigga roll starched down and im rollin on 84s
this is my first time seein this video since i first saw it back in '98 on bet. reminds me of that summer. i've always loved this song. i still bump it in the whip today!
What happened to free styling? How is it that everyone is all over lil waynes dick most of his shit sucks anyways. He doesnt know shit about the block being adopted by birdman and shit
Ok first wanna say this is good shit right here. One of my all time favoirte songs FO SHO! Cause i gots to get paid! an lmfao@ the keyboard gangsta comment! hahahaha very origianl! funny fukin sht!
oh i see what type you are, yo this clown ass mothafucka just posted some racist shit on ESG awangin and bangin video. you get a kick out af being a internet tough guy. take yo clown ass back to the hanna montana videos you fuckin internet bitch. man we gonna start calling clowns like you ghostwriters, cause you talk all this shit and will never be seen. keyboard gangstas.
@SEtexRocket281 i hope your new years resolution is just to keep it real. keep it real with yourself and others cause u a straight clown. i know i would never chill wit a lame like you. keyboard gangsta.
@qpalaz Mann u spoke da truth dez faggot azz white boys need 2 QUIT HATIN DA SOUTH like Pimp C said.Keep on watching justin bieber and miley cyrus wit dey fraud azz.P S White boys dick dont get big doin black shit.
whats all this crack spot/DEA bullshit ya'll talkin bout.....man this is a feel good song....they can obviously be talkin bout regular smokers who just pocket lighters after they smoke....if it was sposed to be serious then they woulda prolly incorporated more serious lyrics into the song
nah bro im from houston back then they took apart the cheap ass bic lighters and put coke and crack in them then they would sell them and they did this because a lighter is less suspicious than a bag or vile. thats why he says "gots to get paid"
c'mon guys he is talking about 25 lighters on his dresser, he must be one of those guys that pockets your lighter after he lights up his smoke, and it just added up to 25 and hed just throw them on his dresser when he gets home, i do the same thing, i feel ya DMD
I got my mind on forum but I'm swangin Bumpa Grill. Lil Keke said it in this track, and that's where Chalie Boy got the chorus his song Bumpa Grill from. And Fat Pat's verse provides the chorus for Swang, by Trae. Swang, And I Swang, And I Swang to the left, pop my trunk yep, yep, yep, yep. Anyone else noticed all that?
damn u definitely not from texas....cuz you woulda known when swang came out pat was already dead so that had to have been from an old song......and its "foreign" as in lexus/benz/etc and bumpa grill is a common term in south but not as common as slab or big/wide body so chalie aint really have to get it from there
I know that. That's what I said. I said Trae took Fat Pats verse from 25lighters, to make the chorus for Swang. I know Fat Pat died in 98, and Swang came out in 06. I know all of this information already. And I think Bumpa Grill is only a TX term, not a Southern term. I meant to put Foreign, I don't know why the hell I put Forum.
Damn, this brings back memories, I remember watching this on Rap City back in 1998. I tried to record it, but they always cut it off during the last verse...
Man i remember 1st hearing this song and seeing video on BET , man this a Texas banger right here , naw its a south banger ,,gotta love the south cuz !!
10 years ago, I wasn't ready for this song. But the beat kept the song in my mind. Now, with the crazy state of affairs that Hip-hop is in, I can look back and appreciate what was trying to be achieved with this song (even if I still don't know what the 25 lighters represent).
0_o niggas in houston can't get enough of Wood Grain...they been talking about that mess since the early / mid ninties...and you STILL hear them talking about that stuff..
Drugs! Moving weight so a nigga can get paid. You ever seen a crack house? LIGHTERS are everywhere.. hence, 25 LIGHTERS on my dressa, yes sir! 25L = making cash!
Actually, the term "lighters" originated from the Bronx, back in the late 1970's, when heroin became so prevalant! It was used as slang - by Narcotics/DEA Officers - to pinpoint "light-up houses", later to be known as "crack houses".
It flourished to the West Coast, later becoming "dope houses", then to the south. It was mis-used/quoted as being "weight" (anything that produced for traffickers/dealers... including weapons)... in the late 80's/early 90's. The answer is yes... and no.
thats not true cus by lighters they mean rocks as in crack so how did that come out in the 70s when crack came out in 90s lmao o ya in th 70 they did cocaine and if u know any thing u u dont smoke coc
What part of "it was slang used by Narcotics/DEA Officers to pinpoint light-up houses" don't you understand? Heroin became prevelant, as did crack. However, the use of "lighters" wasn't neccessarily meant to discribe the act that was taking place, rather than to describe the fact that "lighting up" was a term to describe people getting high. You hear it all the time, today... Q: "Hey, where r u lighting up?" A: "On the corner of 5th and Main! It's a big blue house w/ red stripes!"
Lighter = weight = method of getting high. Slang originally from New York in the 1970's! Lighters doesn't just = rocks, homie! The use of placing a Heroin base on foil or a spoon, then putting an acid compound in it and lighting the bottom of the spoon - usually with a LIGHTER. The liquid is put in a syringe, then a vein is thumped for exposure. Tie-off goes on... then it's on to paradise aka stupidity aka uselessness! You do know you actually made my point with your comment, don't you? Thnx!
man..all of yall are tryin to go too deep..and making shit up..DMD will even tell you he dont exactly what it means, they just liked it when MJG said it..thats were it came from..when MJG said..'" 280 pounds of hay, every damn day I have to testa..25 lighters on my dresser..yes sir.." if anything it means smoking alot of green...
'280 pounds of HAY, every damn day I have to testa....25 lighters on my dresser, yes sir.." thats what it came from..DMD said it himself..make your own meanings if you want too..
@KiNgOfSuPrAs Actually...1....Crack was introduced in the 80's not 90's....2....25 lighters is a metaphor it means you done smoke so many days away you got a total of 25 lighters on ya dresser you need to get up and get paid and quit waistin time this was a hustle song get up and go get it
I'm in cali & this gets no play here. 1st time hearing this was on rap city back in 99!

Actually, these muhfuckas are talking about guns. "Lighters" is slang for firearms.

Actually, the term "lighters" originated from the Bronx, back in the late 1970's, when heroin became so prevalant! It was used as slang - by Narcotics/DEA Officers - to pinpoint "light-up houses", later to be known as "crack houses".
It flourished to the West Coast, later becoming "dope houses", then to the south. It was mis-used/quoted as being "weight" (anything that produced for traffickers/dealers... including weapons)... in the late 80's/early 90's. The answer is yes... and no.

What part of "it was slang used by Narcotics/DEA Officers to pinpoint light-up houses" don't you understand? Heroin became prevelant, as did crack. However, the use of "lighters" wasn't neccessarily meant to discribe the act that was taking place, rather than to describe the fact that "lighting up" was a term to describe people getting high. You hear it all the time, today... Q: "Hey, where r u lighting up?" A: "On the corner of 5th and Main! It's a big blue house w/ red stripes!"

Lighter = weight = method of getting high. Slang originally from New York in the 1970's! Lighters doesn't just = rocks, homie! The use of placing a Heroin base on foil or a spoon, then putting an acid compound in it and lighting the bottom of the spoon - usually with a LIGHTER. The liquid is put in a syringe, then a vein is thumped for exposure. Tie-off goes on... then it's on to paradise aka stupidity aka uselessness! You do know you actually made my point with your comment, don't you? Thnx!
