Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you niggaz ain't scared, throw yo setts in da air
Throw yo setts in da air, throw yo setts in da air
If you niggaz ain't scared, throw yo setts in da air
Throw yo setts in da air, throw yo setts in da air
Cause we some killa ass niggaz
And we don't give a fuck
And tear the fuckin club up
Cause we some killa ass niggaz
And we don't give a fuck
We come to break the fuckin laws
And tear the fuckin club up
[Gangsta Boo]
I think I finally have located the gates of death
Lie awake at night, to hatch my evil plans, I find myself
Stumblin through the dark, up against the fuckin verge of sin
Bodies in my yard, oh my god, them demons came again
People don't you worry cause the Devil's Daughter got a plan
Ho, eternal burnin you in half if you don't comprehend
Understand this shit a gansta bitch is sayin to ya dawg
Lock you in the truck, mob through the night within a mist of fog
Never fear a nigga callin himself a killa, what's up trick
Boy you claim you so goddam buck wild with that weak ass shit
Chillin at the hideout, smokin out not worried bout a thang
Ballin through Black Haven, deep as hell in that suburban, man
Always watchin my back
Cause niggaz will jack you for your fuckin shit
?Female? I am, but don't give a damn
If I split some busta bitch's wig
Three 6 Mafia niggazz includin 1 female
That's bumpin so hard on you hoes
The only ones talkin that shit is DJ-less niggaz
And all playa hatas you know
Chorus
[Juicy J]
Comin from the darkness of the cut of North Memphis bitch
Killas from the evergreen, guards we don't set trip
For my niggaz doin time 201 for the crime
Let's get in the gangsta line and throw the Funkytown sign
I'm on that other level, a coffin and a shovel
?Fly? down to put yo ass, before you meet the Devil, the metal
Penalties I pay by punk ass opponents, I practice pain
Juiceman no gain, but I slang that thang that keep ???
[D.J. Paul]
I'm steady scopin out these nothins, that be actin like a bitch
That be actin like a ho
That be actin like a muthafucka busta
That wants no more of the 3-6 Mafia, trizack-wizack niggas
Come and feel these triggas, ya figure ya bad
Bellin out Black Haven but I double dem bucks in yo ass, instead
Triple muthafuckin 6, in the muthafuckin ?pl-zay?
For the n-zine decade
Nigga didn't hear me do, but a muthafuckin click
In somebody's why-zard he laid
Where the niggaz in the club?
Where the niggaz in the streets ain't down with us?
Man, say a few prayers
G-Ds, V-Ls, cr-zips, bl-zoods, all niggaz throw yo setts in da air
Chorus
[Lord Infamous]
When the biblical stories were written
They left out the one they call Lord Infamous
Because the horror he possess, was one of a magnificence
He was set up, then loosed, look for suddenly mortal killing
He was set to lead the world into unholy acts of sin
The architect of hell
And inventor of the six interior decorator
Of chambers of eternal punishment
I'm the one that lit the furnace to the flow that burns forever
Supervisor of the torture, Lord, have mercy?
Not me, never
I'm clever with corruption of the Seven Seas and continents
The money shit, the blunt is lit, the bong is hit, astonishin
Watch the world, I crumble it, watch heaven, I rumble it
Knockin Scarecrow out of heaven for he did the Devil bitch
Holdin angels hostage in the basement of Hell Chapel
The only nigga ever to set heaven up for a fuckin ?gaffold?
The Devil fever flowin through the fire hemisphere
Evil niggaz throw yo setts in da air
If you dare
16x: Throw yo setts in da air
-Ah yeah, 3-6 Mafia runnin this, ho. Playa hatin just don't hear me,
though. Nigga got a muthafuckin problem with the clan, step back into
this muthafuckin devil click if you can, nigga. Prophet Entertainment
runnin this shit for the 9-5, to the 9 triple 6. It's like this, Joe.
Fuck you local ass bustas cause we got bigger blunts to smoke. On that
nationwide example, muthafuckas.
These lyrics are from the song "In The Air Tonight" by the rap group 12.6. While the title may indicate a connection to Phil Collins' classic track, the content is quite different. The chorus is a call to action, encouraging the listener to throw their set in the air if they aren't afraid. The verses are delivered by various members of the group, with each one sharing their own perspective on gang activity and violence.
Gangsta Boo begins by painting a picture of darkness and evil, suggesting that she has located the gates of death. She then boasts about her ability to take on anyone who dares to test her. Juicy J adds his own perspective, emphasizing the importance of his crew and demonstrating his willingness to inflict pain on those who oppose him. DJ Paul raps about those who act like "hoes" and "bitches" and warns anyone who gets in the group's way.
Lord Infamous brings an even more sinister edge to the track, describing himself as the architect of hell and the inventor of eternal punishment. He accentuates this imagery by referring to crumpling the world and knocking Scarecrow out of heaven.
The lyrics of "In The Air Tonight" may not be palatable to everyone, but they paint a vivid picture of the world and mindset to which they belong.

When the biblical stories were written
During the time the Bible was written
They left out the one they call Lord Infamous
They did not include me in the Bible
Because the horror he possess, was one of a magnificence
I was not included because of the horror I am capable of
He was set up, then loosed, look for suddenly mortal killing
I was set free to cause destruction and kill easily
He was set to lead the world into unholy acts of sin
I was chosen to lead people into committing sinful and evil acts
The architect of hell
I am the creator of Hell
And inventor of the six interior decorator
I created the six chambers of torture in Hell and decorated them
Of chambers of eternal punishment
These chambers are used for punishing souls for eternity
I'm the one that lit the furnace to the flow that burns forever
I started the fire that will burn forever in Hell
Supervisor of the torture, Lord, have mercy?
I am in charge of torturing people and I am asking for mercy from the Lord
Not me, never
I will never ask for mercy
I'm clever with corruption of the Seven Seas and continents
I am good at corrupting the world in many ways
The money shit, the blunt is lit, the bong is hit, astonishin
I am rich and enjoying drugs, which is impressive to others
Watch the world, I crumble it, watch heaven, I rumble it
I have the power to cause destruction in the world and in Heaven
Knockin Scarecrow out of heaven for he did the Devil bitch
I defeated Scarecrow in Heaven because he followed the Devil
Holdin angels hostage in the basement of Hell Chapel
I am holding angels captive in the basement of a chapel in Hell
The only nigga ever to set heaven up for a fuckin ?gaffold?
I am the only person who has challenged Heaven
The Devil fever flowin through the fire hemisphere
The Devil's power flows through the world of fire in Hell
Evil niggaz throw yo setts in da air
Evil people, show your gang signs
If you dare
If you are brave enough
16x: Throw yo setts in da air
Repeated chorus of the song
