This track was recorded in 2003, but was released only as a snippet on the original single LP version of Ruff Draft because of time constraints. When Stones Throw reissued Ruff Draft in 2007, they went back to the master tapes and found this full-length version of the song, plus “Wild” and alternate...
[Intro: Dankery Harv]
Uh!
Holla!
Y'all think a nigga playing?
Don't let me have to lace you up!
Louder!
Turn it up!
J Dilla!
Uh!
Y'all niggas know!
Bang it out, y'all!
We bang it out, y'all!
We bang it out, y'all!
[Verse 1: Guilty Simpson]
Take notice, I'm jumping in the game head first
And make the TEC jerk to cancel your network
You feminine cats'll catch a bad one
My gun gon' be there poking that ass with Magnums
I spar with the best, just the first of my litter
Come see the scars on my chest, we savage
Ill style with extra static
Before you talk shit, you better know the hearts of the niggas you walk with (feel it)
This ain't no slap on the wrist shit, this sick shit
Homicidal energy, something to empty clips with
Negative, gutter
This is what you want, this is what you get
Take it in the brain, motherfucker
This ain't no slap on the wrist shit, this sick shit
Homicidal energy, something to empty clips with
Negative, gutter
This is what you want, this is what you get
Take 'em in the brain motherfucker
[Verse 2: J Dilla]
It's the filth, the flawn, the flawn filth, the nightshift, the pimps
The cars, the hard hitters, but giants
Cats preparing for they last days like it's J2K
But they way too late
Wrap up a piece, ready to feast
Maybe they'll save you a plate
We out to take over your radio waves
Nowadays I don't do it for the mics cause they pay for them things
Fucking up letting Jay in the game
I don't sleep, I, load the heat and wait to aim it and bang
Guilt with Dilla Dawg, a dangerous game
Yeah, and this ain't the slap on the wrist shit
This big shit
Feel more energy, somethin to smack a bitch with
Gully, gutter, givin' you what you want
Twistin' it up to take it to the head, motherfuckers
[Verse 3: Guilty Simpson]
Extended families, my brotherhood
Catch 'em in the face like a heavyweight with no guard
Pardon me as I bogart
Mature monster
I outthink the average, but equally savage
Send the generals of your roster
I send 'em back in a sack
Murder minister counter reacts and launches attacks ruthless
Ten branches, ten nooses
Ten necks, ten TECs and ten shooters
Black booters, late night intruders
You ever seen a panther maneuver? I'm even smoother, guy
You might lose your eye
Either way you choose you die, we cruising high
River rules, July the fourth
Slidin' off and fire the horse, .45 colt
Niggas scatter from thunderous lightning bolts
Rewrite your notes and recite them jokes, you like to quote
I ice your throat, after that I'll slice your throat
With the same razor use to slice the dope
Not by me, but I know those types of folks, now calm down
I never could put the firearm down
That's why everything I do stresses Mom now
[Verse 4: J Dilla & Guilty Simpson]
Yeah, nigga
First name J, Last name Deezy
Here to change the game, playa, please believe me
A cake boy 'til my heart stops pumping
Mission complete when y'all niggas mouths stop runnin'
Last name Simpson, the first name Guilty
Taking the game further than most of you niggas will be
A dread-narc 'til my heart stops pumpin'
Destined for greatness when these A&Rs stop frontin'
Motherfuckers
