“U Ain’t Fresh” brings Kam and Erick Sermon back together again after their collaboration (along with Ice Cube) on Erick’s 1993 track “The Ill Shit” from his debut solo album No Pressure. This song features some bouncy production but Quik uses the soundscape to throw some subliminal disses at Dr. Dr...
[Verse 1: DJ Quik]
I know you like to do ecstasy, and then forget where you are
Be up in a room with a stripper, and your homie Lamar
Now that's a nasty threesome, a straight mismatch
Instead of bangin' on the broad, you'd rather open his hatch
And start packin'... and get some dookie on your tip
Don't look now, you got a loogie on your lip
Next time video tape it, let us all see it
This serve hurt, I'll put you on the web - you pervert
The number 23 on the beats, 'bout to do ya
Mister Blake A.K.A. DJ Quik talkin' to ya
And I'll prove I'm clever and yo game is wack with one line
I'll never put my name on a track that wasn't mine
This hip-hop shit, is getting stupid again
These niggas gun-totin', fightin', gettin' ruthless again
There's a message in that Big Book, didn't you read it?
It say if niggas don't remember the past, they gon' repeat it
So I'm living guard gated
Background hard stated
And we all made it
If you want a hit, nigga, call David
The first name basis, depends on how the pay is
50 under the table, do it enough, don't need a label
'Cause I rob from the rich and I gives to the flow
The ground level, brown shovel, diggin' up some more
So let's stay focused cause the chip is the prize
Now put your shit in first, nigga, and shift it to rise
And like Frank Nitti, we to the gritty
And you haters trippin' 'cause I got the key to the city
Not a sissy but the hoes keep callin' us pretty
And you mad cause the bitch got me on her titty
Mr. Troutman talk me talkbox, Doo Wa Ditty!
And I'll tell you to your ear, nigga, you sound shitty
I'll take your ho up to the room and show her no pity
So call me DJ Meow Mix cause we gets kitty (meow)
Scratchin' all the fleas off of these
Stayin' high off of trees
Top villain, and enjoyin' the breeze
And the time I'm spendin' in yo bitch, a supreme blast
In the back of my S 500 playin' Dreamcast
[Chorus]
You Ain't Fresh (7x)
You a busta, nigga!
You Ain't Fresh (7x)
You a busta, nigga!
[Verse 2: Erick Sermon]
Yo, yo, I'm into somethin' new, hoppin' through
Quik and the Compton Crew, NY too
Yo, what you wanna do? You ain't fresh!
No contest - we cook like Raekwon the Chef
And write for the skills, get set for the kill
And prep for the meals, after that we chill
The E-R-I-C-K is my name, I spell
Bring it back like '92, with clientele
And keep shit right, and make sure the sound excite
Nigga in affect, like flashlight
Quik and I do it 'til death
In the house, y'all blackin' out like Red and Meth
Thick-boned women, in jeans and linen
Yeah (whew!), make a nigga wanna go fishin'
And when I walk by, girls singin' a song
Like E... is like a phenomenon
Ugh, all around the world they be bumpin' the E
Shuttin' it down, right in your company
I blow through like a gust of wind, through doors
Tearin' down the roof, rippin' the floors
'Cause rap's no game, I pack heat, ain't afraid to pull it
For wolf packs, I pack silver bullets
Stop when I come through
Big Black motherfucker fresh for '99
You suckas!
(Chorus)
You Ain't Fresh (7x)
You a busta, nigga
You Ain't Fresh (7x)
You a busta, nigga
[Verse 3: Kam]
Kam got get-back
So get up off my dick, rat
Nigga, that shit wack
You want a hit track? Where Quik at?
Knick, knack, patty wack, I only bone dimes
How you tight? You don't even write your own rhymes
It's been a long time
Since you last heard from me
Like Bill ask Hillary, "what's up?"
Still love me, pretty young thang?
City I'm from bang
What's up, nigga?
Real G's don't wear titty and tongue rings
You's a fruity-o, you make the most excuses
And keep a studio full of ghost producers
Young boss heard
You was tryin' to floss, nerd
Hollerin' "which side is the realest?"
Who you steal that from? (Mausberg)
The street slang thief is your chief employment
You live a life of grief after brief enjoyment
Fake gangbangers, when you see us, tuck all rags
Adios, buenos dias, fuck y'all fags!
[Chorus]
You ain't fresh
You ain't fresh...
