Nobody ride through like my squad do
Got all y'all players suicidal
Actin niggas, take two
You heard the news, I'ma break it to ya
We're here to headline the bill and
Featuring Funk Doc, Tical and the villain
A mic murder for hire, ten grand a killin
Yo Funk Doc, pass the glock, this bitch nigga grillin

Staten Island to the Bricks for mo' chips and mo' pounds
Y'all know who really lockin this shit down
When we rock it, don't we all stand out?

Ya bitch ass probably wash ya hands wit Palmolive
Yo Bricks holler, I got the plan printed

Fam can't dig it, pop goes the wea-sel
You be hidin under your peacoat wit people
I told cops, roll blocks, no props
Fo' pops, Hennesy back and we both shot
That's how we go out, are you the thug type?

Your beef in small claims court, Judge Judy
When you and I meet up, the fight heat up
Bloody up ya wife beater then light weed up

Chorus

[Method Man]
I melt wax, Cuban Link chain react
Breezin through these tracks wit the highest of velocity
Play me like Monopoly
Pay me everytime you trespass on my property
I'm Dick Dastardly, no use in cop blockin me
Sloppily, your woman on the stop-watch clockin me
Possibly I rock well, somebody always watchin me
Livin in the street life, my eyes seen atrocity
Undress a kid properly
When I keeps it movin that means there ain't no stoppin me
Constant motivation, the god fiend bury kings
Proper education, Allah sees everything
How High, just another form of elevation
That's why I choose to build from the basement
Twelve-thirty-one-ninety-nine, times are wastin
More these Hot Dog MC's next to Nathan
Allah Math, break the phonograph in half
Promoters on some bullshit, short wit Johhny cash
(Dat's dat shit) They got snitches rattin on the click
(Dat's dat shit) They got bitches fightin over dick
WHERE THE LOVE AT, when you're young, broke and black
It's over there, in the ashtray, who got a match?

The song "Dats Dat Shit" by Method Man and Redman featuring Mally G is a rap song about their superiority as rappers and how their lifestyles are full of drugs, women, and violence. The song opens with Method Man stating "get ya stank on" and a radio voice declaring that they are going to kick their listener's butt. Mally G boasts about his lyrical skills, claiming that his rhymes are worth ten titles and that he can write Bibles. He threatens violence towards those who don't like him, asserting that he could load a rifle and snipe them. He also proclaims that his team is the best, causing other rappers to become suicidal. Redman also brags about his skills as a rapper, using metaphors like "I'm the dog rottweiler" and "chocolate Thai showers" to compare himself to a powerful, aggressive animal. He also talks about getting high and causing havoc, stating that he could bloody someone's wifebeater and then light up weed after their fight.


The chorus of the song, which is repeated multiple times, boldly announces that they will get their fans high and wide and that this is the "shit" that people want.
