[Intro: Method Man]

Uh, get ya stank on


[Sample]

WKYA, we're kickin' your ass!


[Verse 1: Jamal]

My receitals is worth ten titles

I should've wrote Bibles , if you don't like me I don't like you

I liable to load the rifle, hit the roof and snipe you

The shit I spit damaging your vitals

Nobody ride through like my squad do, got all y'all players suicidal

Actin' niggas, take two

You heard the news, I'ma break it to ya

We're here to headline the bill and

Featuring Funk Doc, Tical and the villain

A mic murder for hire, ten grand a killin'

Yo Funk Doc, pass the Glock, this bitch nigga grillin'

I make moves with my big dog bounce

Staten Island to the Bricks for mo' chips and mo' pounds

Y'all know who really lockin' this shit down

When we rock it, don't we all stand out?

Y'all hazardarious, clear out

Get your ass out 'fore I tear it out and show you what I'm talkin' 'bout


[Chorus: Redman & Method Man, (Young Zee)]

Ayo, get you up and get ya high, ha!

Get you stoned and get ya wide

Dat's dat shit (that got niggas sleepin' wit the fifth)

Dat's dat shit (that got bitches fightin' over dick)

Ayo, we get ya up and get ya high (Yeah)

Get ya stoned and get ya wide

Dat's dat shit (that got niggas sleepin' with the fifth)

Dat's dat shit (that got bitches fightin' over dick)


[Verse 2: Redman]

I'm high-powered, the dog rott weiler

Chocolate thai showers got Doc cookin' minute rice for five hours

You wet cowards, I'm live wire

Ya bitch ass probably wash ya hands with Palmolive

Yo, Bricks holler, I got the plan printed

Load it and it goes like summer jam tickets

Fam can't dig it, pop goes the wea-sel

You be hidin' under your peacoat wit people

I told cops, roll blocks, no props

Fo' pops, Hennesy back and we both shot

That's how we go out, are you the thug type?

To ride down like Hopper from a Bug Life ?

Watch the movie, haters tried to eye screw D

Your beef in small claims court, Judge Judy

When you and I meet up, the fight heat up

Bloody up your wife-beater then light weed up


[Chorus: Redman & Method Man, (Young Zee)]

Yo, get ya up and get ya high, ha!

Get ya stoned and get ya wide

Dat's dat shit (that got niggas sleepin' wit the fifth)

Dat's dat shit (that got bitches fightin' over dick)

Ayo, we get ya up and get ya high (Yeah)

Get ya stoned and get ya wide

Dat's dat shit (that got niggas sleepin wit the fifth)

Dat's dat shit (that got bitches fightin over dick)


[Verse 3: Method Man]

I melt wax, Cuban Link chain react

Breezin through these tracks with the highest of velocity

Play me like Monopoly

Pay me everytime you trespass on my property , I'm Dick Dastardly

No use in cop blockin me , sloppily

Your woman on the stop-watch clockin' me

Possibly I rock well, somebody always watchin' me

Livin in the street life, my eyes seen atrocity

Undress a kid properly

When I keeps it movin' that means there ain't no stoppin me

Constant motivation, the god fiend bury kings

Proper education, Allah sees everything

How High, just another form of elevation

That's why I choose to build from the basement

Twelve-thirty-one-ninety-nine, times are wastin'

More these Hot Dog MCs next to Nathan

Allah Math, break the phonograph in half

Promoters on some bullshit, short wit Johnny cash

(Dat's dat shit) That got snitches rattin on the clique

(Dat's dat shit) That got bitches fightin over dick

WHERE THE LOVE AT, when you're young, broke and black

It's over there, in the ashtray, who got a match?


[Chorus: Redman & Method Man, (Young Zee)]

Ayo we get ya up and get ya high, ha!

Get ya stoned and get ya wide

Dat's dat shit (that got niggas sleepin' wit the fifth)

Dat's dat shit (that got bitches fightin' over dick)

Ayo, we get ya up and get ya high (Yeah)

Get ya stoned and get ya wide

Dat's dat shit (that got niggas sleepin' wit the fifth)

Dat's dat shit (that got bitches fightin' over dick)


[Young Zee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Young Zee got bitches fightin' over dick


[Redman]

Get ya up and get ya high

Funk Doc got bitches fightin' over dick


[Method Man]

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Meth-Tical got bitches fightin' over dick


[Redman] (Young Zee)

Get ya up and get ya high (All y'all stupid bitches keep fightin' over dick)

Get ya stoned and get ya wide

Get ya up and get ya high (High!)

Get ya stoned and get ya wide wide (Yeah, yeah)

Get ya stoned and get ya high (Fightin' over dick)

Get ya stoned and get ya high ha

Get ya up and get ya high ha (Fightin' over dick)

Get ya stoned and get ya high ha

Referencing the 1999 Hot 97 Summer Jam show. With a legendary lineup like Jay-Z, Ja Rule, The LOX, Drag-On, Eve, Swizz Beatz, Method Man, Redman, Nas, Q-Tip, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, and DMX, tickets must have sold out ASAP.

Nas also references the same show in Nas Is Like

“I should’ve wrote Bibles”

I think this line is supposed to be “I should have wrote bibles”, implying Jamal writes epic scriptures

“Chocolate thai showers got Doc cookin’ minute rice for five hours”

Minute rice only takes 5 – 10 minutes to cook because it’s pre-cooked. The Chocolate Thai weed is causing him to take 5 hours to cook the rice because of its potency: he spaces out and forgets what he’s doing.

Method Man uses rhetoric device hypophora to say that there is no love for an average black man and the only escape is Marijuana. Which is unfortunately, he has to smoke butts as he can’t afford to buy.

“Break the phonograph in half”

Could be a reference to Inspectah Deck’s lyric on Guillotine (Swordz) from Raekwon’s debut, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx in 1995.

“Poisonous paragraphs, smash ya phonograph
In half, it be the Inspectah Deck on the warpath…”

“Your beef in small claims court, Judge Judy”

Judge Judy handles with grace, the insignificant problems of usually insignificant hill-billy types in a hilarious manner.

Certified bad ass fresh out the Pixar world.

“I’m Dick Dastardly No use in cop blockin me”

Dick Dastardly is a recurring villain from many Hanna-Barbera animated television productions. As his name implies, Dastardly aimed to win solely through cheating and trickery. So Meth certainly doesn’t care about your rules.

12/31/99 = Last day of the millennium, it was around the time this song was released in 1999.

Wordplay: Refers to ‘Somebody’s watching me’ by Rockwell

In the board game Monopoly, when you land on a space another player has property for, you must pay them rent. You own property by investing money in the property.

Lead single off Blackout! as well as being the title of a movie the two made together.
