What They Say
Dr. Ring Ding Ska-Vaganza Lyrics

So I'm out the game, huh?
Are you implying that I have retired from the music industry?

Yo, Dre, we ridin'?
Dre, are you ready to embark on this journey with me?

Whatever
I am indifferent to the situation

Haha, well, I'm with you, homie
I am in full support of you, my friend

Okay, let's handle the small shit
Let us address the minor issues first

I was born to brew up storms, stir up shit
I have always had a knack for causing trouble and controversy

Kick up dust, cuss 'til I slur up spit
I have no qualms about using foul language and making a scene

Grew up too quick, went through too much
I had to mature at an accelerated pace and faced numerous hardships

Knew too much shit, corrupt
I possessed a vast knowledge of scandalous information and became morally compromised

And I'ma pour it on like syrup, bitch
I am going to reveal these secrets with intensity and force, you fool

Thick and rich, sick and twisted, Mr. Buttersworth
I am like syrup, both in consistency and in my distorted, twisted nature

Dre told me to milk this shit for what it's worth
Dre advised me to maximize the benefits of this situation

'Til the cow just tilts and tips and stumbles to Earth
Until this lucrative opportunity eventually collapses and fails

And if I fumble a verse, keep going
Even if I make a mistake in my lyrics, I will persist

First take I make, mistakes, just keep it
I embrace the imperfections and errors in my initial attempt

No punches pulled, no punches, that's weak shit
I refrain from holding back or being timid, as that is considered feeble

Fake shit, if I ever take shit I'll eat shit
I detest falsehoods, but if I were to endure criticism, I would endure it gracefully

Wasn't for him, wouldn't be shit
If it weren't for Dre's influence and support, I would be nothing

Creep with me as we take a little trip down memory lane
Join me as we reminisce and revisit the past

Been here longer than anyone in the game
I have been in this industry for a longer duration than any other artist

And I ain't got to lie about my age
I have no need to fabricate my age

(But what about Jermaine?) Fuck Jermaine!
I have no regard for Jermaine and his opinions

He don't belong speaking mine or Timbaland's name
Jermaine has no right to mention me or Timbaland

And don't think I don't read your little interviews
I am well aware of the interviews you have given

And see what you're sayin'
I understand the messages you are trying to convey

I'm a giant, and I ain't gotta move 'til I'm provoked
I am a formidable force, and I will not retaliate unless provoked

When I see you, I'ma step on you and not even know it
If I encounter you, I will inadvertently crush you

You midget, mini-me with a bunch of little mini-yous
You are a small, insignificant version of me with a group of similarly insignificant copies

Running around your backyard swimming pools
Carelessly frolicking around your luxurious estate

Over 80 million records sold
I have achieved the impressive feat of selling over 80 million records

And I ain't have to do it with ten- or eleven-year-olds
Unlike some artists, I did not rely on young children to achieve my success

'Cause what you say is what you say
Your words are a reflection of your thoughts and beliefs

Say what you say how you say it whenever you saying it
Express yourself in the manner you choose whenever you communicate

Just remember how you said it when you was spraying it
Recall the manner in which you expressed yourself with aggression and intensity

So who you playing with, huh?
Who do you think you are trying to deceive or manipulate?

Second verse, it gets worse, it gets no better than this
The second part of the song becomes more intense and unfavorable, reaching its peak

Amateurs drink veteran piss from a Dixie cup
Inexperienced individuals admire and imitate the actions of seasoned artists

If you ever mix me up
If you ever confuse me with another artist

Or confuse me with a Canibus or Dre with a Dupri
Mistaking my identity for Canibus or Dre for Dupri

We'll rub it in, every club you're in
We will publicly humiliate you at every venue you frequent

Or have you blackballed
We will ensure that you are ostracized from the industry

And make sure you never rap a-fucking-gain
We will ensure that your ability to rap is completely extinguished

Dre ain't having it, long as I'm here to play devil's advocate
Dre will not tolerate such behavior, especially with me by his side to argue against it

If there was some magic shit I could wave over the industry
If I possessed a magical power that could transform the music industry

That could save it when I'm gone and buried
That could preserve its essence even after I am deceased

To make sure the tradition carries on, I would
I would take on the responsibility of ensuring the continuation of the genre's legacy

If I could only use this power for good
If I had the ability to employ this power solely for positive purposes

I wouldn't, not even if I could
I would deliberately refrain from doing so, even if the opportunity presented itself

From the hood, and I'm a hornet
I come from a disadvantaged background, and I possess a fierce and aggressive nature

And I'ma only sting when I'm cornered
I will only retaliate fiercely when pushed into a difficult situation

And I'ma only sucker punch and swing without warning
I will strike unexpectedly and with great force

And swing to knock somebody's fucking head off
I will deliver a powerful blow to severely harm someone

'Cause I know if they get up
Because I am aware that if they recover

I won't get a chance to let off another punch
I will not have the opportunity to strike again

I'm punk rock, no one's punk
I am rebellious and unconventional, not conforming to anyone's expectations

Don't give a fuck, white-Pac, so much spunk
I am unapologetic, like a Caucasian version of Tupac, possessing an abundance of energy and attitude

When I was little I knew I would blow up and sell a mil'
From a young age, I had the foresight to envision my future success and reaching the million-selling mark

Or grow up to be Attilla, go nuts and be a killer
Alternatively, I could have matured into a figure like Attila the Hun, becoming insane and violent

And I'm something of a phenom, one puff of the chron'
I consider myself to be a prodigy, becoming exceptional with just one inhalation of marijuana

I'm unstoppable, I'm alive and on top again
I possess an invincible nature, experiencing a resurgence of success and prominence

There's no obstacle that I can't conquer
There is no challenge or barrier that I cannot overcome

So come along with us (c'mon!)
Join us on this journey towards triumph and victory

Now anybody who knows Dre
Anyone who is acquainted with Dre

Knows I'm about fast cars and Alizé, partying all day
Understands that I have a preference for luxury vehicles, Alizé liquor, and indulging in festivities throughout the day

But I handled my business, 'cause it's work before play
However, I prioritize my professional endeavors before engaging in leisure activities

Don't look for trouble, but I'll serve you gourmet
I do not actively seek out confrontations, but I will deliver a sophisticated form of retaliation if necessary

However you want it, you can have it your way
I am flexible and accommodating, providing whatever you desire

You fuck my night up, I'ma fuck up your day
If you ruin my evening, I will ensure that your day is equally ruined

Bullet with your name, sending it your way
I will send a dangerous message specifically aimed at you

That goes for anyone who walks through that doorway
This threat applies to anyone who enters through that entrance

'Cause this is my space, you invade it
This territory belongs to me, and your presence is an intrusion

Live to regret it, and you'll die trying to violate it
You will suffer the consequences of your actions and may even lose your life in the attempt to challenge me

Fuck around, get annihilated, eyes dilated
Engage in foolish behavior, and you will be obliterated, with your eyes wide open

Huh, like my old lady
Similar to how my significant other behaves

Sometimes what you mean is two different things
At times, your intentions and true beliefs do not align

Depending on your mood if it swings
Depending on your fluctuating emotional state

Think too many things, little hit of Dre's weed
Overthinking various matters, a small dose of Dre's marijuana can help

I can do anything, catch a contact and I'm gone
Under the influence of secondhand marijuana smoke, I feel invincible and lose touch with reality

And I'm back, I speed write
Afterwards, I quickly resume my songwriting process

And my loose leaf's my launchpad
A blank sheet of paper provides the foundation for my creativity

And I can pull any string, don't have to prove anything
I possess the ability to exert influence over others, without needing to validate myself

Catch a contract on your head
I am capable of arranging for harm to come your way

You headed West, talk shit about Dre
If you move in the direction of the Western region and speak negatively about Dre

You better get a vest and invest
It would be wise for you to procure a protective vest and make preparations

In something to protect your head and neck
In a device or equipment that safeguards your cranium and cervical region

And it's back and forth all day, like Red and Meth
Our contentious relationship involves continuous conflict, similar to Redman and Method Man's dynamic

I joke when I say I'm the best in the booth
I employ humor when proclaiming myself as the superior artist

But a lot of truth is said in jest
Many genuine sentiments are concealed within comedic remarks

And if I ever do live to be a legend I'ma die a sudden death
If I am remembered as a legendary figure, I anticipate a sudden and unexpected demise

Five mics in The Source? Ain't holding my fucking breath
Receiving a maximum rating of five microphones in The Source magazine is unlikely, so I remain skeptical

But I'll suffocate for the respect
Nevertheless, I am willing to endure extreme challenges to earn respect

'Fore I breathe to collect a fucking check
Prioritizing respect over financial gain in my pursuit of success

Watch your fucking mouth!
Be cautious and mindful of what you say

Yo, this Timbaland, tell him I said suck my dick!
This communication is from Timbaland, and he wants you to know that he has no respect for you
