(Heartbeat)
The song “It’s On” by Layzie Bone featuring Scant-O is an expression of the strength and unity of a gangsta rap group called Mo Thug. The song opens up with the chorus “Bone got the brainpower, Mo Thug got the muscle, the heart of it all, I said Bone got the brainpower, Mo Thug got the muscle” which is repeated several times throughout the song. This chorus reflects the group’s power, ability to think on its feet, and its overall unity.
The lyrics of the song are a warning to outsiders or anyone who tries to come between the bond that they have. They also talk about the group's commitment to living the life that they're living for themselves and for their families, which drives them to handle any challenges or threats that come their way. The line “Niggas say my music ain't art, nigga, it's from the heart” emphasizes their sincerity in making music and standing by their art, even if it's not understood by everyone. They warn anyone who tries to come for them should be prepared for the consequences: “he lay dead”, the track says. The song ends with a heartbeat sound.
