[Intro: Coolio]

It has come to my understanding that

There are those who would question my skills and abilities

Since it is thus, I must release it myself

For with thou be repremanded

Hit 'Em!


[Verse 1: Coolio]

Hocus, focus on the mighty mic loco

Me and the 40 dump yo ass like a pogo

You better kick it cause I been workin' on my mojo

Make your crew disappear like Dorothy and Toto

Your tripping on me because your girl want my photo

Nigga, you better chill before I send my homie home with your hoe

Fools get Kareemed when they steps into my dojo

It's the ghetto witch doctor sprinkling herbs on the vocal

I deliver hits like my name was Fuji Moto

Platinum and gold all the way to Acapulco

To all rappers international, domestic, and local

Step to the fore or get your ass rolled up like a Rollo

Your points need bifocals, you better try to see like Total

My name ain't Ralph Lauren but I'll play your ass like polo

I kick a solo from here to Soho

You ain't no man eater, nigga, so your whole style is no go


[Chorus]

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em. Hit 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em. Hit 'em! Hit 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Get that nigga, get that nigga! (Ha-ha)


[Verse 2: Ras Kass]

I'm sticking niggas like Mexican's in penitentiaries

The niggas is flinching, see every time the homies mention me

Grew up off Avalon and Century

With a hundred ways of illegal entry, can't injure me

My momma fucked the Unabomber that's why I'm blowin shit to smithereens

I'm like (Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu! Wee!) the nigga flying guillotine

The illest things I bring that not even DeVante could swing

Before a nigga serve me, his 76 is a winter green

Fuck your team, crowbar eating niggas up like Idi Amin

It's time we started serving niggas like they was dope fiends

I smoke all label rosters when I rock like The Thing

In the bucket doin 95 like Rodney King

Extreme animosity, your ultimate adversary

I'm like white blood cells fighting H.I.V. inside a capillary

I'll beat that ass blindfolded like a piñata, scary

My prom night I was fuckin Carrie, had her screamin "Bloody Mary!"


[Chorus]

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ah)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em! Hit 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Hit 'em!)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em! (Wha?)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em! (Break that nigga off)

Rrrr, stick 'em. Hit 'em! Hit 'em! (What's that, Cool?)

Cool, break this nigga off!


[Verse 3: Coolio]

Alright, wait, wait, wait, it ain't ova, I burn like a nova

It's the all seeing all knowing like mother fuckin Yoda

I rock like baking soda from Compton to Dakota

And when I drop I'm gonna crush all these bustas like a boulder

So grab your hoe and see if you can hold her

I put bitches and pets on a fantastic voyage on a ship like Noah

I told ya, I'm a soldier, wake that ass up like Folger's

Give the people what they want a little bit more-a

You don't know the score, what the hell you comin here for?

Whip that ass like grandpa used to do and leave it sore

It's the hardcore, take your whole hood to war

It's time for all the bitch ass niggas to hit the door

Go home and get your pen and brush up on your metaphors

It's the forty musketeer cutting that ass up with swords

You be the prey, I'll be the predator

Bring the feather to that ass so niggas call me Thor


[Chorus]

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em. Hit 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha)

Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em

Rrrr, stick 'em. Hit 'em! Hit 'em!
