D12 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ayo, dawg
I got some shit on my motherfucking chest that
I need to get off 'cause
If I don't
I'ma fucking explode or somethin'
Now look
This is the story about
Some little fucking girls that I know
It goes like this

It's so easy for me to make enemies any more, it's sickening
People are looking for an excuse to jump on my shit-list
Sticking their noses in shit that isn't none of their business
I never asked, cared, gave a fuck, or wanted opinions
Now I'm in the position that
I don't wanna be in shit
I never had no beef with you corny son of a bitches
But now this shit is broke and you can't do nothing to fix it
So I'm telling you right now
Motherfucker Limp Bizkit
Now I'ma be real
B-Real was real
He ain't say shit the whole time me and Whitey was beefing
See he chilled
He was cool with the whole situation and kept it neutral
I'd never involved my crew if it wasn't for Pupils
Peoples, whatever your backpacking cyphering name is
Had I not opened a magazine and seen what you say in it
I'd never involved you
But you had to add your two pennies
Now I gotta go grab my shit-list and add some new enemies
Hit the studio and I'll admit I had a few in me
Fuck it, I roasted you, I ain't mad at you any
But let it be known
That song was never released, it leaked
I'd never gave you that much attention intentionally
Then I look on the TV, now look who's mentioning me
That little fucking weasel, DJ Lethal, on MTV
After I gave you props on that song, you on national TV
Talking 'bout Everlast is gonna whip my ass when he sees me
Come on, dawg, you was supposed to be on that song
Talking 'bout how bad you hate him
Now you all on his thong
What's wrong? You scared? And Fred, you said you was dissing him too
I should of knew better than to listen to you
You fucking sissy
Up on stage screaming how people hate you
They don't hate you
They just think you're corny since Christina played you
And I dare you motherfuckers to try to diss me back
That's a sissy act
And don't call me kissing my ass
'Cause I swear to God this ain't just a song
I'm tryna prewarn you
Lethal, when I fucking see you, dawg, I'm swinging on you
Motherfuckers must think 'cause I'm in trouble with the law that I won't draw
Up my sentence and double it tomorrow
Y'all are some

Girls (y'all are some goddamn girls)
Why do you act this way? (Why do you act this way, huh?)
Why do y'all act like fucking sissies
You pussies keep talking shit behind my back
You just some bitches for that
And we all know (we all know, ha)
How fucking cowards roll (keep rollin' rollin' rollin')
In fucking Bentley's
And pretend to be down
But as soon as someone calls you out
You put your tail between your legs and walk around

Now I don't ask nobody to share my beliefs
Or be involved in my beefs
I'm a man, I can stand on my feet
So if you don't wanna be in 'em
All I ask is that you don't open your mouth with an opinion
And I won't put you in 'em
'Cause I don't ask nobody to share my beliefs
Or be involved in my beefs
I'm a man, I can stand on my feet
So if you don't wanna be in 'em
All I ask is that you don't open your mouth with an opinion
And I won't put you in 'em

Now see if you diss me and I respond
The beef is on
But if I help you sell one record
And I see you at a show, I'll strip you naked
See I was smart, I came back and scooped up my friends
Now I got five dogs that'll die for me like I'll die for them
I'll fight for them, swing or shoot, like I fight for Kim
All of them been with me through this fucked up life that I'm in
That goes for all of my dogs from Royce to Dre
From Xzibit to Melman
'Til I'm hoist away
In my coffin
I'll never soften no matter how often I'm tested
I never give a fuck
I won't ever be interested
Love me or hate me
As much as Fred wants to be hated
I will solemnly stand by every statement I've stated
The shit that I been through
My pencil never could pencil
But I won't ever be this gullible ever again, no
Next time I'll know when someone's copying off me
I'm not being cocky
I just know when somebody's mocking me
I stick up my middle finger
He sticks up his finger
I say fuck Christina
He says fuck Christina, but meaner
So from doing a song with Method
To begging to get accepted
I'm pegging Fred
With the bottle of dye that he bleached his head with
And as for Lethal, don't forget what I said
I'm fucking you up, punk
You're dead
Don't think that I'm playing
And fuck Bizkit
'Cause I know you're saying fuck D12
Only not to our face, under your breath, to yourselves
Little

Girls (motherfucking females)
Why do you act this way? (Why do y'all act this way, huh?)
Why do y'all act like fucking sissies
You pussies keep talking shit behind my back
You just some bitches for that
And we all know (now we all know the truth)
How fucking cowards roll (keep rollin' rollin' rollin')
In fucking Bentleys
And pretend to be down
But as soon as someone calls you out
You put your tail between your legs and walk around

Now I don't ask nobody to share my beliefs
Or be involved in my beefs
I'm a man, I can stand on my feet
So if you don't wanna be in 'em
All I ask is that you don't open your mouth with an opinion
And I won't put you in 'em
'Cause I don't ask nobody to share my beliefs
Or be involved in my beefs
I'm a man, I can stand on my feet
So if you don't wanna be in 'em
All I ask is that you don't open your mouth with an opinion
And I won't put you in 'em

And that's it
That's all there is to it, dawg
If you don't want to do the fucking song
Don't say you're down with doing the fucking song
And then back out at the last minute
And then go on motherfucking MTV
Talking about Everlast can whip my motherfucking ass
If you're scared of Whitey Ford, dawg
Just say you're scared of Whitey Ford
That's it
That's all you had to fucking say
I wouldn't have said shit
I would have backed off
Did the motherfucking song myself
And not put you motherfuckers in it
That's all
Now I ain't even on no rap shit no more
I'm on some fucking you up shit when I see you
And I will see you, too
Oh, and by the way, Fred
That wasn't an accident




I didn't mean to give you a play at the Music Awards
Haha

And we all know (we all know, ha)
And we all are aware


How fucking cowards roll (keep rollin' rollin' rollin')
How cowards like to act tough


In fucking Bentley's
In their expensive cars


And pretend to be down
And act like they're supportive


But as soon as someone calls you out
But when someone confronts you


You put your tail between your legs and walk around
You become submissive and avoid confrontation


Now I don't ask nobody to share my beliefs
I don't expect anyone to agree with me


Or be involved in my beefs
Or get involved in my conflicts


I'm a man, I can stand on my feet
I'm an independent person who can handle my own problems


So if you don't wanna be in 'em
So if you don't want to be a part of them


All I ask is that you don't open your mouth with an opinion
Just refrain from expressing your opinion


And I won't put you in 'em
And I won't involve you in them

Now see if you diss me and I respond
Now if you insult me and I retaliate


The beef is on
Then the conflict escalates


But if I help you sell one record
But if I assist you in selling one album


And I see you at a show, I'll strip you naked
And if I see you at a concert, I'll embarrass you


See I was smart, I came back and scooped up my friends
I was wise, I reunited with my friends


Now I got five dogs that'll die for me like I'll die for them
Now I have five loyal friends who are willing to sacrifice for me


I'll fight for them, swing or shoot, like I fight for Kim
I'll defend them, physically or even with weapons, just as I would for Kim


All of them been with me through this fucked up life that I'm in
All of them have supported me during this difficult life I'm living


That goes for all of my dogs from Royce to Dre
This applies to all of my friends from Royce to Dre


From Xzibit to Melman
From Xzibit to Melman


'Til I'm hoist away
Until the day I'm buried


In my coffin
In my casket


I'll never soften no matter how often I'm tested
I'll never become weak no matter how many challenges I face


I never give a fuck
I never care


I won't ever be interested
I won't ever become intrigued


Love me or hate me
Whether you love me or hate me


As much as Fred wants to be hated
Just like Fred desires to be disliked


I will solemnly stand by every statement I've stated
I will firmly stand by every statement I've made


The shit that I been through
The difficult experiences I've faced


My pencil never could pencil
My pen could never fully describe


But I won't ever be this gullible ever again, no
But I won't ever be this naive again, no


Next time I'll know when someone's copying off me
Next time I'll recognize when someone is imitating me


I'm not being cocky
I'm not being arrogant


I just know when somebody's mocking me
I just know when someone is making fun of me


I stick up my middle finger
I raise my middle finger


He sticks up his finger
He raises his finger


I say fuck Christina
I say fuck Christina


He says fuck Christina, but meaner
He says fuck Christina, but more aggressively


So from doing a song with Method
So from collaborating with Method


To begging to get accepted
To pleading to be acknowledged


I'm pegging Fred
I'm targeting Fred


With the bottle of dye that he bleached his head with
With the bottle of dye he used to bleach his hair


And as for Lethal, don't forget what I said
And Lethal, don't forget what I told you


I'm fucking you up, punk
I'm going to harm you, punk


You're dead
You'll be finished


Don't think that I'm playing
Don't think I'm joking


And fuck Bizkit
And fuck Bizkit


'Cause I know you're saying fuck D12
Because I know you're disrespecting D12


Only not to our face, under your breath, to yourselves
Just not to our faces, but secretly, to yourselves


Now I don't ask nobody to share my beliefs
I don't expect anyone to agree with me


Or be involved in my beefs
Or get involved in my conflicts


I'm a man, I can stand on my feet
I'm an independent person who can handle my own problems

So if you don't wanna be in 'em
So if you don't want to be a part of them


All I ask is that you don't open your mouth with an opinion

And I won't put you in 'em
And I won't involve you in them


And that's it
And that's all


That's all there is to it, dawg
That's all there is, my friend


If you don't want to do the fucking song
If you don't want to do the song


Don't say you're down with doing the fucking song
Don't claim you're willing to do the song


And then back out at the last minute
And then change your mind just before it happens


And then go on motherfucking MTV
And then appear on MTV


Talking about Everlast can whip my motherfucking ass
Talking about how Everlast can beat me up


If you're scared of Whitey Ford, dawg
If you're afraid of Whitey Ford, my friend


Just say you're scared of Whitey Ford
Just admit that you're scared of Whitey Ford


That's it
That's all


That's all you had to fucking say
That's all you needed to say


I wouldn't have said shit
I wouldn't have done anything


I would have backed off
I would have retreated


Did the motherfucking song myself
Done the song by myself


And not put you motherfuckers in it
Not include you guys in it


That's all
That's it


Now I ain't even on no rap shit no more
Now I'm not even on a rap battle anymore


I'm on some fucking you up shit when I see you
I'm on some violent shit when I see you


And I will see you, too
And I will definitely see you


Oh, and by the way, Fred
Oh, and by the way, Fred


That wasn't an accident
That wasn't an unintentional mistake


I didn't mean to give you a play at the Music Awards
I didn't mean to give you attention at the Music Awards


Haha
