Baby Got Back (Song)

"Baby Got Back" is a 1992 hip hop song written and recorded by American rapper Sir Mix-a-Lot, which appeared on his third album, *Mack Daddy*. The song samples the 1986 Detroit techno single "Technicolor" by Channel One.

At the time of its original release, the song caused controversy with its outspoken and blatantly sexual lyrics about women, as well as specific references to the female buttocks, which some people found objectionable. The song's music video was briefly banned by MTV.

It was the second best-selling song in the US in 1992, behind Boyz II Men's "End of the Road". In 2008, it was ranked number 17 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.

The song debuted at number 75 on the *Billboard* Hot 100 chart dated April 11, 1992 and hit number one twelve weeks later. The single spent five weeks at the top of the chart.

## Lyrics

* Oh my God Becky, look at her butt
* It is so big, she looks like
* One of those rap guys' girlfriends
* But, ya know, who understands those rap guys?
* They only talk to her, because
* She looks like a total prostitute, okay?
* I mean, her butt, it's just so big
* Uh, I can't believe it's just so round, it's like out there
* I mean, uh, gross, look
* She's just so, black
* I like big butts and I cannot lie
* You other brothers can't deny
* That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
* And a round thing in your face
* You get sprung, want to pull up tough
* 'Cause you noticed that butt was stuffed
* Deep in the jeans she's wearing
* I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
* Oh baby, I wanna get wit'cha
* And take your picture
* My homeboys tried to warn me
* But that butt you got makes (me, me so horny)
* Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
* You say you want to get in my Benz?
* Well, use me, use me
* 'Cause you ain't that average groupie
* I've seen her dancin'
* To hell with romancin'
* She's sweat, wet
* Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
* I'm tired of magazines
* Sayin' flat butts are the thing
* Take the average black man and ask him that
* She gotta pack much back
* So, fellas (yeah) fellas (yeah)
* Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah)
* Tell 'em to shake it (shake it) shake it (shake it)
* Shake that healthy butt
* Baby got back (L.A. face with the Oakland booty)
* Baby got back (L.A. face with the Oakland booty)
* (L.A. face with the Oakland booty)
* I like 'em round, and big
* And when I'm throwin' a gig
* I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal
* Now here's my scandal
* I wanna get ya home
* And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh
* I ain't talkin' bout Playboy
* 'Cause silicone parts are made for toys
* I want 'em real thick and juicy
* So find that juicy double
* Mix-a-lot's in trouble
* Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
* So I'm lookin' at rock videos
* Knock-kneed bimbos walkin' like hoes
* You can have them bimbos
* I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
* A word to the thick soul sistas, I want to get with ya
* I won't cuss or hit ya
* But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna (uh)
* 'Til the break of dawn
* Baby got it goin' on
* A lot of simps won't like this song
* 'Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
* And I'd rather stay and play
* 'Cause I'm long, and I'm strong
* And I'm down to get the friction on
* So, ladies (yeah) ladies (yeah)
* If you wanna roll in my Mercedes (yeah)
* Then turn around, stick it out
* Even white boys got to shout
* Baby got back
* Baby got back
* Yeah, baby, when it comes to females
* Cosmo ain't got nothin' to do with my selection
* Thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six
* Ha ha, only if she's 5'3
* So your girlfriend rolls a Honda, playin' workout tapes by Fonda
* But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
* My anaconda don't want none
* Unless you've got buns, hun
* You can do side bends or sit-ups
* But please don't lose that butt
* Some brothers want to play that hard role
* And tell you that the butt ain't gold
* So they toss it and leave it
* And I pull up quick to retrieve it
* So Cosmo says you're fat
* Well I ain't down with that
* 'Cause your waist is small and your curves are kickin'
* And I'm thinkin' bout stickin'
* To the beanpole dames in the magazines
* You ain't it, Miss Thing
* Give me a sista, I can't resist her
* Red beans and rice didn't miss her
* Some knucklehead tried to diss
* 'Cause his girls are on my list
* He had game but he chose to hit 'em
* And I pull up quick to get wit 'em
* So ladies, if the butt is round
* And you want a triple X throwdown
* Dial 1-900-MIXALOT
* And kick them nasty thoughts
* Baby got back
* Baby got back
