My bitches get the realest nigga, she's my reflection
I make my bitches traffic dope, that's my profession
She swallow dope and looking pregnant, time for c-section
Thank God your pockets where I'm from, here block, they bless us
50 millimeter drum, go get them stretchers, get them stretchers

I be calling all the shots, big homie, big homie (Ha!)

Overall Meaning

The chorus of this song, "Big Homie," speaks to Diddy's status as a boss in the music industry. He has achieved immense success and respect, so much so that people in any neighborhood he goes to know who he is. This is reflected in the lines, "You could go to any hood, bet they know me/Rose gold pinky ring, master Rollie." These items are symbols of luxury and wealth, which Diddy has in abundance. The reference to the late actor Gary Coleman is used as an insult towards anyone who may try to challenge Diddy's dominance, as he reminds them that they are "little niggas" in comparison. This is reinforced in the repetition of "big homie" throughout the chorus, as Diddy affirms his position of power.

The verses continue this theme of extravagance and power. Diddy boasts about his success in the music industry as the head of Bad Boys Records, claiming that "bitch, you know I run it." He also references his successful clothing line, Sean John, with the line, "More 80's than the 80's, nigga, I'm money mention." The verse from Rick Ross speaks to his own wealth and success, highlighting his ability to purchase expensive items and indulge in luxury. The line, "My bitches get the realest nigga, she's my reflection," is particularly telling, as he sees his female partners as a reflection of his own success.

Overall, "Big Homie" is a song about power and wealth. Diddy and Rick Ross both boast about their success in the music industry and their ability to indulge in luxury. The use of Gary Coleman's name as an insult is a way for both rappers to assert their dominance over anyone who may try to challenge their position.
