Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(CHORUS)
Some old wicket shit
Some old wicket shit (for you)
Some old wicket shit (for you)

Midnight's the witches hour
And your outside
Somebody played a Reel Life Product tape
And committed suicide
Tryin to save ya soul it can't be done
Unholy to the son of satan, I ain't the one
Congratulations brothaz and sistaz who prayed for me
Some slayed for me and still pray for me
They say my rhyme's satanic it'll make ya vomit
And I think I'm the shit when it comes down to it
You knew it and know it, unholy poet, your mind I'll blow it
If you ever heard me rhyme for the first time
It is like a hurricane, stun you like novicane
Simple and plain, Reel Life Product is insane
Your fuckin with the wrong one
Listen till the song's done
Fuck around and be on the wrong end of a gun son
Your listenin to insanity, but that's just demandin me
I say I'm Esham and you said how can it be
I'ma psycho-pathic, auto-matic
Reel Life Product, pro-static, fuck it.

(CHORUS)
Some old wicket shit
Some old wicket shit (for you)
Some old wicket shit
Some old wicket shit (for you)
Some old wicket shit
Some old wicket shit

I'm the you-N-H-O-L-why better known as Esham
Champs and chumps step up and get some punk
Playin around with me is like playin with a rattlesnake
I shake and bake and break the fake
E-S-H-A-M I'm him not one of them
Reel Life Product's grim
A phsychofrantic motherfuckaz future's lookin dim
A are-E-A-L a L-I-F-E a P-are-O-D to the you-see-T
Reel Life Product's what I spelled our very seldom yelled
____________________________dope we sell
I have the mind of the devil, the body of lucifer
Gimme a mic and watch me get loose for ya
Convince a motherfucker that suicide's the way
Another homicide, I'll live another day I lied
I said I was the unholy, 'cause a preacher told me
The you-N-H-O-L-why is a brotha with soul see
It's written down in the god damn scriptures
I'm not satanic, so fuck y'all bitches.

(CHORUS)
Some old wicket shit
Some old wicket shit (for you)
Some old wicket shit
Some old wicket shit (for you)
Some old wicket shit
Some old wicket shit (for you)

Holy god, fuck the joy's
Here come Reel Life Production and the devil's groove
You can't move, you might as well tape it
And listen, and listen until it's your favorite
The speakers are smokin, niggaz chokin
I'm provokin, no jokin, motherfuckers hopin
That I get off the mic and shut up forever
But that's a dream that'll never come true, never
I'm insane, it's hard to maintain my mentallity
If you keep listenin you'll have a wicket personality
Fuck it.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Esham's song "Some Old Wicket Shit!!!" seem to be an ode to his style of music that is often labelled as "satanic" or "unholy". In the chorus, he repeats the phrase "some old wicket shit" as if to acknowledge the criticisms of his music and almost revel in them. He then goes on to describe himself using various words that allude to his "dark" persona, like "the devil", "lucifer", and "unholy poet". He talks about the power of his rhymes to stun people and describes the feeling of listening to his music as being similar to a hurricane or novocaine.


In the second verse, Esham declares himself to be a "you-N-H-O-L-why", which is presumably another way of spelling "unholy", and says that playing with him is like playing with a rattlesnake. He also describes his brand of music as "psychofrantic" and claims that the future of those who mess with him is looking "dim". He spells out "Reel Life Product" and says that they sell dope.
