[Chorus: Onyx]

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Let the boys be boys!

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Make noise, b-boys!

[Verse 1: Fredro, Suavé & Onyx]

Well, it's another one! In the gutter one! Ghetto running 'em

Troublesome, extra double dumb, I come to beat 'em

Defeat 'em and mistreat 'em, so what if that I'm cheating

Now everybody wanna sound grimey (Yeah, I know)

I'ma show ya how, come on, all in together now!

Yeah, ooh-yeah-yeah! That's how it gotta be

So stop trying to be loud as me, 'cause you can't do that

Think about it; playin' Russian roulette with an automatic

I bet my ass against the line the last bullets first on line

Stab, and step, and reppin', and run, packin' a weapon is wild

Peace to the brothers on Rikers Isle

Tough enough and tremblin', blend in like a chameleon

Buck, bye, tough guy; oh, my god, I'm so high

'Cause they say I rhyme, they say I look

Like a gremlin, but what does it take to make a kid

Make a million children (Slam!) slam!


[Chorus: Onyx]

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Let the boys be boys!

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Make noise, b-boys!

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Let the boys be boys!

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Make noise, b-boys!


[Verse 2: Suavé]

I'm the nitty, nasty, gritty smashing, never slow gassing

Strictly swift blast of the raspy-rasp fashion

That I provide, I abide the U.S.G. 

Besides the ghetto vibe, make me flip like Jekyll and Hyde

Of course, I come across with the pure for sure unadulterated uncut raw

Disgusted, busted, you wanna touch it, too hot

You forgot, you're not ready, your head could get ruptured

Hit between the eyes, I plan to vandalize

I supply the static, I run with the bad guys

The villains, crooks, highlighters and the fighters

See the big black picture if you look inside of my mind

It's graphic, expressed it drastic

So kill the copycat act kid, it's all mastered

Directed it, when y'all least expected it

And thought it was safe, Onyx hit you in the face so slam!


[Chorus: Onyx]

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Let the boys be boys!

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Make noise, b-boys!

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Let the boys be boys!

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Make noise, b-boys!


[Verse 3: Sticky Fingaz]

I'm a b-boy, standing in my b-boy stance

Hurry up and give me the microphone before I bust in my pants

The mad author of anguish, my language polluted

Onyx is heavyweight (and still undisputed!)

You took the words right out my mouth, now walk a mile in my shoes

I paid so many dues, I feel used and abused l

And I'm so confused, excuse me, for example I'm an inspiration of a whole generation

And unless you got ten sticky fingers it's an imitation

A figment of your imagination

Bu-bu-bu-but wait it gets worse

I'm not watered down so I'm dying of thirst

Coming through with a scam, foolproof plan

B-boys make some noise, and just, just SLAM


[Chorus: Onyx]

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Let the boys be boys!

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Make noise, b-boys!

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Let the boys be boys!

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Make noise, b-boys!


[Outro: Onyx]

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Let the boys be boys!

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Make noise, b-boys!

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Let the boys be boys!

Slam! Da duh duh! Da duh duh!

Make noise, b-boys!
