[Emcee(s): A-Butta, Mr. Voodoo, and L-Swift]


[Producer(s): Charlemagne]


[Intro: Natural Elements]

A-Butta: Yeah, we’re finally done, dun. We finally finished this shit, man? Come over, roll a joint, son. Word up, yo. Word up, put this song on an album. This joint, know’m saying? ‘Cause y’all need to know we’re finally here now. Come on, son, yo

Mr. Voodoo: Yeah, yeah, know’m mean? Word, word, word up, word up. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, definitely

L-Swift: Word up, son. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, def. Yo, the Sun gotta rise up. Come on


[Hook 1: A-Butta]

(NE) It’s about time, we’re about due

(NE) We’re about rhymes—what about you?

(NE) It’s about time, we’re about due

(NE) We’re about rhymes—what about you?


[Verse 1: A-Butta]

On Cloud Nine without you, smoke on my own. I think

About lines alone in my home, drinking Bloody Mary

I’ll make a nigga bleed like Bloody Mary. I wanna

Be rich and sick-rich like I’m married to money

But I’m still gonna rep for the streets and let the Hennessey spill

Even if I rest in Beverly Hills. And most

Bitches say I’m M.I.A., can’t find me

Most niggas say the shit I say, rewind me

Copy my scripts on floppy discs, MP3s

“First of All,” for “2 Tons,” we give you anything you need

Heavenly, we’re G and make connects, taking it all. Y’all genuflect

Eyes facing the floor. A is an entrepreneur

More than before, see me repping my steez

NE d-e-f-initely break ‘em off (Come on, son)


[Hook 2: L-Swift]

NE definitely, I represent

My Elements like they represent me—definitely

NE definitely, I represent

My Elements like they represent me—elegantly

NE definitely, I represent

My Elements like they represent me


[Verse 2: Mr. Voodoo]

My discography starts

In ’93, biography is the crime spree. Check

The bibliography—under “Guns,” you’ll find me

Physiology grime-free, ideology grimy

Periodically dime-free, idiotic to try me

I’ll methodically show y’all what proper flows are, leave you hanging

From a ‘copter like Omar. Like cocaine choppers, what I handle

Is so raw. Ask and get flows drawn or

Cash net. When it comes to hoes, I ass-bet, leave ‘em out in

The cold with frozen assets. All you and your cohorts

Getting is male-dominated like pro sports. I’m like

Eazy-E, holding a blowtorch, leaving my foes scorched

It’s cold out here, and I ain’t taking no shorts—that’s why I

Act shady, mack ladies on some new shit like crack in

The Eighties, and all you niggas is crack babies


[Hook 2: L-Swift]

NE definitely, I represent

My Elements like they represent me—definitely

NE definitely, I represent

My Elements like they represent me—elegantly

NE definitely, I represent

My Elements like they represent me—definitely


[Verse 3: L-Swift]

Yo, yo, let

The incense smoke rise. Innocent from both sides

Legitimate, told lies, inquisitive, Most High

Take a toke, follow my path. Used to be full

Now I’m hollow as glass, flowers and ash

Pirates for cash. I know it’s a sin, but, yo, focus on then

Poking your skin? Man, we’re close to the end

All events leading up to this shit—you still blind?

Y’all pretend like there’s nothing to say. Who still “Shine”?

No one can stop we, no guns can pop we

Smoke tons of broccoli, roll blunts and flock me

When you see me, yo, it’s either respect, yo, or nothing at all

See me direct, yeah, it’s Odd, but it’s nothing to Brawl

With K.A. and them. AK’s and men don’t mix

It’s like “Mayday”—we blend so thick

Word is bond, I can see in the dark, walk on water

Piss out wines, talk on slaughters, rip out spines

Spit out lines, chill with frizzy hair

Yankee game, thirty-two-ounce cup with Miller beer

Charlemagne’ll flip a snare that’ll cripple you all

Listen, y’all. I done scribbled my name on prison walls

Those who passed away, all I could do is vision y’all

Gone physically, but I’ll never let your spirit fall

Plus you in a better place right now. We’re still trapped

All we do is cheddar-chase right now—you feel that?


[Hook 2: L-Swift]

NE definitely, I represent

My Elements like they represent me—definitely

NE definitely, I represent

My Elements like they represent me—elegantly

NE definitely, I represent

My Elements like they represent me—definitely

NE definitely, I represent

My Elements like they represent me—eloquently
