Gunz 'n onez
Heltah Skeltah Lyrics

Iz you wit me, yo throw your hands in the air!
Are you ready to join me? If so, show it by raising your hands in the air!

All my thugs and soldiers fuck it even players
I'm addressing all my associates, including those that may not have the best reputation or who are just in it for the money and fame.

Whether you hate us or you show us love
It doesn't matter if people are against us or support us.

No matter what you do money stack your gunz 'n onez
Regardless of the situation, one should always be ready to defend themselves and their money.

Crooks, willies, pimps, all my sons
I'm acknowledging all types of people who are part of my life and who I consider to be like my children.

No matter what you do baby, stack your gunz 'n onez
Once again, emphasizing the importance of being prepared to defend oneself in any situation.

Yo, light another, and elevate on this one my brother
Let's light up some marijuana and get into the zone together!

Respect mine like my baby mother
I demand respect from others, akin to the respect shown towards a mother and her child.

I shine when it rain, the sky's cryin' for all the black youth
Even in tough and gloomy times, I shine and stand out, representing and fighting for the younger generation.

That's dyin', I heard he went out clutchin' his iron
I've heard about someone who died while holding onto their gun, trying to defend themselves.

And in the mist the slugs flyin', one burst
Amidst the chaos and confusion, bullets are flying left and right.

He kissed the dirt, not knowin' he was touched at first
The victim fell to the ground, not realizing that they had been hit by a bullet.

Or badly hurt, it's all science, another nigga merked
Being shot and killed is just a part of the game, another person taken out by a bullet.

Kid snatched his purse and his work, left nuttin'
A young criminal stole the victim's money and drugs, leaving them with nothing.

But the shells on the turf, the situation's worse
The only evidence left behind are the bullet shells on the ground, indicating that there was a violent altercation.

A lot of bitch ass niggaz is comin' out they skirts
Many cowardly people are showing their true colors and proving to be unreliable in difficult situations.

Cause it's real, not everyone can rhyme and get a deal
This lifestyle and the violence that comes with it is real, and not everyone has what it takes to be successful in this industry.

Not everyone can shine and make a meal
Just like not everyone is cut out for this lifestyle, not everyone can achieve success and make money the same way.

So Johnny carry nine in the steel, one in the head
To stay safe in this dangerous world, it's crucial to always have a gun on hand and one bullet chambered.

For all them fuckheads, leave that ass for dead nuff said
For all the foolish and disrespectful people out there, they should be left behind and treated as dead in order to survive.

Don't be mistaken, or mislead, it's all peace
Despite all the talk of violence and guns, ultimately the goal is peace.

But when my baby's gotta get fed, I'm all teeth
When times get tough and my loved ones need to eat, I'm willing to fight tooth and nail to provide for them.

Bitin' down on the bullet now, bloodshed
I'm willing to risk everything and potentially face violence and bloodshed to protect those most important to me.

I cop my herb from a knotty dread, and live this life
I buy my marijuana from a Rastafarian with dreadlocks, living my life on the edge and embracing this dangerous lifestyle.

On the edge nigga, one time for your fuckin-ass mind
I'm constantly living on the edge and pushing myself to the limit, challenging others to do the same.

Cause-o, can you deal?
Can you handle this lifestyle and all that comes with it?

Wu-Tang are you wit me, well throw your hands in the air!
If you're part of the Wu-Tang clan and support my message, show it by raising your hands in the air!

Heads on lock down and those on the run
Everyone who's a part of this lifestyle is either locked up or on the run from the law at some point.

No matter what you do money, stack your gunz 'n onez
Once again, reiterating the importance of always being prepared and ready to defend oneself.

Aiyyo peep the stamina, of the main brain splattera
Check out my endurance and ability to perform at a high level, especially when it comes to violent acts.

In a matter of seconds I'm disrespectin' your character
I can quickly and easily dishonor and disrespect someone's reputation and character.

What's the matter ya niggaz ain't ready for the massacre
Are you guys not prepared for the level of violence and destruction that comes with this lifestyle?

I'll be slappin' y'all niggaz in the face with the caliber
I will use my gun to physically hit and harm anyone who tries to cross me.

You like the voice baby? Ruck is the choice lately
Do you appreciate the way I deliver my lyrics and perform? Ruck (one of the members of Heltah Skeltah) has been a popular choice as of late.

Slap a hoe and then grab a hoe just like ? ?
I'll hit a woman and then immediately go hit on another woman, showing no respect or remorse.

My boys pay me no mind, for the shit I say lately
My friends and associates often ignore the reckless and dangerous things that I say lately.

Then deep down in they heart, they think that nigga Ruck is crazy
Despite outwardly seeming cool with my behavior, my friends likely think that I'm crazy for acting out so often.

Maybe, y'all niggaz should just chill before I fuck you up
Perhaps it would be wise for others to back off and be less confrontational before I hurt them.

I can snuff a duck nigga in the face with the uppercut
I'm skilled at throwing a quick and powerful punch, able to easily knock someone out.

What the fuck? y'all niggaz do it the mic ruin
I'm frustrated with how others are rapping and performing.

Your life by screwin', your wife now cruisin'
Not only are they bad at rapping, they're also ruining their personal lives and causing their wives to cheat.

Affect with the motherfuckin' grimy style
I have a reputation for being grimy and violent in my style.

Meth-Tical, Heltah Skeltah for the Ninety-Now
This is a shoutout to fellow rapper Method Man and my group Heltah Skeltah in the present era.

Remind me how, the way it used to be, yo you used to be
Let's reminisce on how things used to be and how we used to act.

Better than you is on the mic, but now you losing me
I used to think you were better at rapping than I am, but now I'm quickly losing respect for you.

Son I used to be a good boy, fat cheeks, little cute kid
I used to be innocent and sweet as a child.

Potentially rebellious yet a straight A student
Although I had rebellious tendencies, I was still a successful student.

I listened to my elders til I found out they was stupid
I used to respect my elders, but then I realized that many of them were not knowledgeable or wise.

What they told me had me broke and bummy, time for some new shit
The advice my elders gave me only led to me being poor and unhappy, so it's time to try something new.

Now, I hold mo' concealed Heat than Acapulco
Nowadays, I have more guns hidden on me than someone in a notoriously dangerous Mexican city.

Ricans in Bushwick call me Rocko, el mano loco
Puerto Ricans in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick refer to me as Rocko, the crazy one.

Got a fo'-fo' to make thugs sing like K-Ci and JoJo
I have a .44 caliber gun that I can use to make other tough guys scream like the R&B duo K-Ci and JoJo.

Packin' ever since Mamma Rock said gunz was a no-no
I've been carrying guns since I was young, even though my mother told me to stay away from them.

We don't need those doe, street cats don't need gats
We don't need guns to be successful on the streets or in this lifestyle.

Six-five, from the NBA, many niggaz be that
Many tall and successful basketball players are also involved in this lifestyle.

So try me, like Mutumbo you can't get shit by me
Go ahead and try to challenge me, like the famous basketball player Dikembe Mutombo, but you won't be able to get anything past me.

Send you to E.R. son with broke ankles like Allen Ivey, hehe
If you try to fight me, I'll send you to the emergency room with broken ankles, just like former basketball player Allen Iverson.

Hold that thought for a minute
Pause and think for a moment before we continue.

And watch your shorty before I run up in it I admit it
Be careful with your significant other before I steal them away, as I'm prone to doing.

I'm like Sprite, image got you shaken, thinkin' I'm Jamaican
I'm like the soda Sprite, my reputation and image make people uneasy and unsure, like they're trying to place my origins.

But it's thirst that'll get your jewelry and dough taken
What will truly get you in trouble or in danger is your desire for fame, wealth, and material possessions, which can easily be taken away.

Fuck Batman and Robin, I'm robbin with a bat man
I don't need any help or partners, I'll be the one doing the robbing with my own bat-like weapon.

Chase niggaz like Chevy for makin' wack jams
I'll pursue and attack other rappers who I think are making subpar or disappointing music.

Hit hard as a dick after a lapdance, ask any Sean Price
My punches hit as hard as a erect penis after a lapdance, just ask rapper Sean Price.

In Alcatraz fan, they'll tell you watch the jabbin'
Fans of the prison Alcatraz and the associated violence will advise you to be careful of my jabs and punches.

Heltah Skeltah come soon, be prepared motherfucker
My group Heltah Skeltah is on the way, so be prepared for our violent and aggressive music and lifestyle.

Cause ain't nobody safe motherfucker
No one is safe from the dangers and violence that come with this lifestyle.

Marvelous, Armageddon, Heltah Skeltah
These are the names of some of the members of my group, emphasizing our reputation for violence and danger.

Same shit
It's all the same dangerous and violent lifestyle.
