Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Excuse me, urm, could you tell me how to get to Heart Street?"
"Hmm, Heart Street, alright you go down 3 lights, right
You get on Bush Highway. You go past Vagina Street
You gon' get off at Dick, you gon' make a left on Dick, right
You gon' run right into Walls
The next block is Clit Boulevard
But you gotta be careful, it's kinda wet down there
You gon' past Guts now, that shit takes you to Tits Project
My man Balls will be out, be around there somewhere, you nah mean
Urrm, The Heart is around there somewhere, so
Or you could go 45 minutes, you could take Butt Avenue to
To Hershey Highway, you nahh mean, up spine'in, and, and
And you be at, you be at, why-you be at the mouth
You be at, you be at the mouth of the
The mouth of the tunnel right there




You nah mean?"
"Fockin' pervert"

It's good but not in the top 20.
Above the clouds,
Full clip,
Liquid Swords,
Bang your head (underdog remix),
1-800 suicide,
Furious anger,
Can it be all so simple,
How will I make it,
The worst,
For what it was,
The projects PJays,
Over here,
Les coulisses de l'angoisse,
Mon clan,
Entrer dans la légende,
Cherche pas à comprendre,
Shit squad (live au dome de marseille 2003),
La cavale,
Les petites annonces du carnages,
Le cuir d'une valise usée,
24 heures à vivre

See? not in the top 20 :)

On a side note, none of Raekwons new posts are popping up in the 'video' section of the channel, you have to go snooping in the 'home' section to find new stuff. Somebody is messin' up.

@HovaNirvana

One of the greatest hooks I’ve heard in any genre. He bodied that shit.
