  • @BigJalapeno slangin rocks

  • What the hell does "25 lighters on the dress" even mean?

    I've heard this song ever since I was like 10 or something, it's good, but never found the real meaning of the verse lmao

  • @BigJalapeno SlAMGiN ROCKS IT SAYS 25 LIGHTERS ON MAH DRESSAH YESSAH

  • @MRSfABO281 What rocks? 

  • @BigJalapeno LIKE ROCKS DUDE...U KNOW ROCKS?? SLANGIN ROCKS?? [DRUGS] ......U KNOW?

  • @MRSfABO281 Lol can't say I'm familiar with the Texas Slang but I get it now I guess, in other words, he has 25 lighters to smoke rocks?

  • @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?

  • @MTG5150 THANK YOUUUU.. I get it now.. lol

  • @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.

  • Thizanks!

  • Hell yesh love this song>Texas

  • love it mayne!

  • lol 25 lighters mean to take care of business and sell all your supply and shit....

  • dmd: "I got 25 lighters for my 25 foes".....there he is talkin bout burners/gats and "gettin paid" must mean pullin a jack/robbin move

  • 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"

  • oh okay

  • @big973e naw man just peep the comment i just put it explains wat the song talking bout

  • 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

  • @bigbowdy just look at the comment i put on the front page of the newer comments u will see wat the song talking bout i know because i lived it

  • 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?

  • Nigga you definitely must not be from Texas... Real Texas niggas already know that shit it don't need to be said.

  • There ain't no rule book on being from TX. And I'm from both FL and TX.

  • u aint 4rm texas obviously and its i got my mind on foreign not forum

  • 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.

  • @MA3POLO i got my mind on foreign not forum

  • @MA3POLO got my mind on FOREIGN....not forum

  • @jonp9300 That was a mistake I made a year ago. I know it's foreign.

  • I mean Fat Pat

  • R.I.P Fat, DJ Screw, and Pimp C.

  • fat pat wrecked it

  • 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...

  • Classic CD

  • @ acclaim......wtf Pat wrecked that hoe mayn best verse out all them nigggas

  • Song bout flippin work...ppp

  • The sample and the way he layered it is sick, raw ass beat, as far as verses they get progressively worse.

    DJ DMD did his thing, Lil Keke was so so and I know Fat Pat is some kinda legend in Texas and all but on real that verse was sorry as shit...

    Cold ass song tho overall

  • mann u trippin, fat pat wrecked it hard.

  • When was did this video come out? THe song came out in 1999 right? But the video came out years later?

  • video came out the same time the song did..

  • 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).

  • lil keke is great! only thing is he has bad luck, lol hes being sampled more then ne thing.

  • 25 LighterZ mean 25 ways 2 hustle..

  • good lookin yo

  • port arthur

    this my shit

  • wat they mean when they say i got 25 lighter???

  • 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, 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.

  • 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...

  • no green is the last thing it means hes talking about crack

  • '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..

  • you right

  • @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

  • HA WORD GO UP TO A NIGGA THAT SLANG CRACK AND ASK HIM FOR 2 LIGHTS HE GONE GIVE U TO ROCKS BUT MAYBE THATS JUST IN atx
