Method Man Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo, welcome
This is MC sharper image
I'm standing here with my dog technology
And we are here to uplift you mind
and upgrade your systems
so come on down everyone that wants to get some
plug in and boot, and boot
Yo, Yo, I couldn't give a rat's ass
I've come to eat grub and slap ass
And show my whole entire black ass
why'all know the saying he who laughs last laughs loudest
Bang the loudest, can't a coward do a thing 'bout it
What the bu-ba claat like "aye caramba"
Here's my name and number, lets "La Rumba"
Doc, it makes me wonder; how many heads has Heather Hunter's
How many different conclusions to come to
And my sixteen bars meth, hittin' too hard
With a total disregard for whole entourage
Rap phenom, slap your ass, snap your thong to my theme song
And hope you don't get clap upon
Who that kid, as dirty as that Ol' Dirty Bastard
Who that kid, who pack a tool belt and dirty belt and dirty ratchet
Set your tape recorder, lock down your daughter
Soon as a touch the rap game, out of order

Do I get brollic
Gimme that car ill show you how to flip mileage
Gimme that mic, ill short it with a quick wattage
Skip college for the big wallet
The ape with a fire escape from the weight of a hit product
My draft is cold like miller beer
When you hear it, you see more stars than tigger's cheer
The red nigga here, and its out of control
Something like when Ron Gold' went out with Nicole
I'll bring it back to the streets where the crooks belong
And if it ain't come back raw, you cooked it wrong
Gangsta bomb, hold your nose
At the show, ill be shittin' out my mouth like my colon closed
Me and meth, 100 proof, in case why'all a biter
And ovaries, feel these great ball of fire
(Doc, where the lighter) I'm hemming them up
Coffee grind them and put them in a vanilla dutch

Believe that, the brothers in the house now be that
Believe that, lets turn the mother out now, be that
Beback , that what it all about now ,be that
We not playin' (knowwhatinsayn' sonsayin)
Believe that, the brothers in the house now be that
Believe that, lets turn the mother out now, be that
Beback , that what it all about now ,be that
Fuck with the meth(knowwhatinsayn' sonsayin)

I'm looking at you killers like you stole something, fuck ya life
Trust my niggaz, sometimes for I trust my wife
Fuck it, I'm nice, why'all don't be rushing the mic
With your guns in your left hand
Not bustin' it right
Ain't no I in the team
Ain't no eyen' my cream
I'm a semi-auto, clean
Rapid-fire machine
Cocky, six foot three with knock knees
Attract hood rats for blocks cause I got cheese

yo, dude I carry cheese, but I don't flaunt it
when the towel it thrown it, you know there's grown men that spoke on it
We both want it, the Trackmasters
Puncturing holes in the beat when a vocal tone poke on it
Barbaric, my caddie truck beyond average
with the same size wheels that on a horse carriage
up in the air , spot my dudes
Rollin' over shit like B. Rhymes on mountain dew





[Chorus: x 2]

Overall Meaning

In Method Man's song America's Most, he starts off by introducing himself alongside his dog, Technology. He then proceeds to rap about not caring about anything except eating and having a good time, showing off his skills and power, and asking his audience to pay attention to his performance. He talks about hitting hard without regard for his "entourage," being a "rap phenom," and holding nothing back. He brags about his skills with the microphone, claiming that he can "short it with a quick wattage," and discusses his company, his money, and his power. He notes that he's a "semi-auto, clean / Rapid-fire machine," calling attention to both his size and his speed, and he makes a point of discussing his "caddie truck beyond average." Throughout the song, there's a sense of energy, confidence, and swagger that suggests Method Man feels he's at the top of his game and is ready to take on anyone who challenges him.


There are a number of references in this song that speak to Method Man's background, interests, and style. For example, he mentions Ol' Dirty Bastard, who was a member of his group, Wu-Tang Clan, and who passed away in 2004 at age 35. He also says "La Rumba," which is a dance club in Colombia that's known for its lively atmosphere and high-energy music. Additionally, he calls himself "MC sharper image," which is a reference to the Sharper Image chain of electronics stores that were popular during the 1980s and early 1990s. Finally, he name-drops Heather Hunter, who is an adult film actress and rapper with whom Method Man worked on several projects.
