[Intro: Method Man]

Oh shit, the fucking lawyers here

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo

All them real live motherfucking niggas step up front right now

It's going down

One love to Long Island Hempstead in my heart, baby

Shaolin w,hat?

Come on, come on, ha!


[Chorus: Method Man]

Dangerous ground

Tre pound seven spin around for my brethren, the clouds come down

War and Peace, I take it to the street

Land shark on my lawn, chop the thumbs off a thief


[Verse 1: Method Man]

And curse his firstborn, is this thing on?

Send 'em to the Children of the Corn, we the people

See niggas through the eye of the needle

My lethal injection, destroying evil

Hot Nikkel what, private eye, one pistol

Aiming at your brain tissue, do or die

Said the spider to the fly, "Could this one be tasty?"

Like momma apple pie goodness, Johnny Blaze me

On the job like Dick Tracy

Hit the cure for that ill shit like Ben Casey, M.D

Symbolic thrill like god he shocked it

Like a finger in a light socket, too good to be forgotten

In the Rotten Apple, I kick dirt on your sandcastle

Check the flavor all natural


[Bridge: Method Man & (Streetlife)]

(Beat your feet) Hot Niks son (heat-mizer)

Before you get the main course (Taste a appetizer)


[Verse 2: Method Man]

Submerged in the word, heavy handed verbal that smack you

Mentally disturb you, attack you

36 Chamb' once again coming at you

Young gun got the body snatch you, observe

Wise words you can only see through the third-

Eye, form way beyond the norm on the verb

Shine on mental nourishment, you can dine on

Track yelling at me, "Get your rhyme on, god"

Victory is hard, regardless to whom or what

They all moving targets Allah

Running through your house and your block party, with rap shotty

And hot rock the body body, St. Bernards

Couldn't save your entourage, rap lobotomy

Leave you mentally scarred, numb and possibly

Dumb, deaf and blind is it

I kick the spine out the battery backs, fucking with mine keep it moving


[Interlude: Method Man]

Now everybody just throw your hands in...

(phone rings)

What the fuck?

Peace, who this?


[Verse 3: Streetlife]

Mind detect mind, I P.L.O. your starting line

Deep Space Nine designed for knuckleheads who bust guns and throw signs

Let's converse snatch the tap from your purse

Body-surf on the verse head first

Peep defeat, bitch, Street beat you down with the heat

And you spazzed out, spitting out teeth, ain't nothing peace

Big boys don't destroy blunted zone pop steroid

Fifty men convoy, expensive where's the big toy

Rumble through the wasteland, right hand's on the silencer

Forty caliber city slicker Staten Islander

Synchronized minds combine thoughts that motivate

Don't perpetrate, pass the blunt let it circulate

Street politicians on a suicide mission

Crime vision finger itching from a scope-view position

Dangerous ground

Tre pound seven spin around for my brethren, the cloud comes down


[Verse 4: Method Man]

Yo, keep your eyes open, love potion number nine

Poetry in motion, knowledge me the seventh sign

Scoping, conniving, infiltrate is most of mine

Play 'em nonchalantly, calmly expose the nine

Push and get shoved what the fuck cuz thinking of

Coming in the club with that screwface, acting up

Is we men or mice? "Bad Moon Rising"

We wild for the night

Kill a schizophrenic nigga twice, cuzzo, that's what happened

When fronting on the Shaol' borough, Island of Staten

We in here, no fear, assault with intent

To kill your whole regiment it's real

Starting with your President, ducking my dart gun

Tear apart son,.you don't want it then don't start none

Blaze one with Jonathan, part man part fly

Handle my B-I camouflage like G.I

Fat like Joe, a day in the life

Your money or your life that's the life

Everybody can't afford ice in the struggle

Tryna eat right, another day another hustle, hustle, hustle

(Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh)


[Chorus: Method Man]

Dangerous ground

Tre pound seven spin around, for my brethren the clouds come down

War and peace, I take it to the street

Land shark on my lawn, chop the thumbs off a thief

Motherfucker
