How Bout Dat
Method Man & Redman Lyrics

Yo, I hit the 'freeway' after I 'rock the mic'
I hit the road after performing on stage

Light up like Showtime when they about to fight
I shine bright like the lights at a boxing match

How bout dat, boy, when that truck ride 38's
Impressive, huh? That truck has huge 38-inch tires

Your middle finger up at the light, I'm nice
I stay cool and don't let traffic get to me

Doc ride or die, I bubble up when the pouring peroxide
I'm loyal to my doctor and react strongly to medicine

It's dirty, lookie here
This is rough stuff, pay attention

Still sharp like I'm back in school
My skills are still razor-sharp like when I was in school

It's like Wonder Blade, cut a nigga smooth
My talent is like a razor, can cut through anything with ease

Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo, who let the dog loose?
Who just released their aggression like a wild animal?

Whips and chains, I don't wanna argue
I don't want to debate, just bring out the hardcore stuff

The big whale that's writing fishscale
The big boss who's selling top-notch drugs

Like me, better believe, I'm too hard to harpoon
Just like a whale, you can't catch me easily

My goons, think like Chris Wallace
My crew thinks like the late rapper The Notorious B.I.G.

'Give me the loot' and I don't wanna talk about it
Let's just take the money and leave without any discussion

When my niggas 'get 'em', that's when I
When my crew goes to work on someone, that's when I

Crush the building, how about that?
I destroy the competition completely

Look at my shoes, how about that, nigga?
Take a good look at how fly my shoes are

(My car, how about that, nigga?)
(And my car? It's just as impressive)

Getting money, how about that, nigga?
Making good money and living large, now how impressive is that?

How about it, any nigga realer than me? I doubt it
There's no one more genuine than me, I highly doubt it

Catch Ready hop out of v, low mileage
Watch me step out of a car with low mileage

You see the way I play with money, I'm so childish
I have a lighthearted approach to money and spending it

And, so stylish, looking like Gucci my sponsor
Looking fashionable, like I'm sponsored by Gucci

Kicks crazy, jewelry is bonkers
My shoes are crazy and my jewelry is jaw-dropping

Whether in the club or you see me in concert
No matter where you see me, I'm always putting on a show

I go hard, who created a monster?
I go all-in, and people wonder how I became so good

Me, Gilla be the click that I ride with
I roll with my crew, Gilla

Talk slick, get flipped like a Sidekick
If you talk smack, I'll take you down like a Sidekick phone flipping open

You wonder why your bitch is on my dick
No need to wonder why your girl is obsessed with me

'cause the boy flow doper than five bricks
My rhymes are stronger than 5 bricks of cocaine

The MC wishing I simply
The rapper hoping to be like me

Be remembered like Big Pun, Biggie or Pimp see
Wishing to be remembered like the greats Big Pun, Biggie Smalls or Pimp C

Blocka blocka, how about that, nigga?
I'll knock out anyone who gets in my way

Look at my house, how about that, nigga?
Check out my impressive house, pretty cool huh?

(Sour dies', how about that, nigga?)
(Oh, and my weed? It's top-notch too)

Big paper, how about that, nigga?
And I'm making a lot of money, pretty impressive huh?

How bout that, ten years plus in the rap game
How about that, I've been in the rap game for over 10 years now

And still getting cream like a fat cat
And I'm still making tons of money, like a wealthy cat

Plus, I'm grossing money off of ASCAP
And I'm making a lot of money from ASCAP royalties

Plus, my publishing, yea I owns that
Plus, I own the rights to all my published music

First of all, my royalty come quarterly
First off, I receive my royalty payments once every three months

My hoes, my niggas, all move accordingly
Everyone in my circle acts accordingly, whether it's my women or my boys

Streetlife, I'm so international
Streetlife, I'm known globally and have fans all over the world

My foreign exchange, but always in the capitol
I handle foreign currency exchanges, but make sure to spend my time in the capital city

Straight cash advances, while you be calling
I'm earning straight cash advances while you're still calling your record label for money

Your label all day, hoping someone answers
You keep calling your label, hoping someone will pick up and take your call

I flow with no auto-tone, just me and my bitch
I don't use auto-tune, it's just me and my flow

My blunt, my beat, my microphone
All I need for a great performance is my blunt, my beat and my mic

I shine with no jewelry on, another star is born
I don't need flashy jewelry to stand out, I'm a star anyway

Watch me perform, beyond the norm
Watch me perform beyond what's expected

Brr stick 'em, haha, stick 'em, how about that, nigga?
I hurt people without mercy, pretty crazy huh?

Fuck what it cost, how about that, nigga?
I don't care how much it costs, I'm going to get what I want

(I'm a boss, how about that, nigga?)
(And honestly, I'm a boss too)

Straight pimping, how about that, nigga?
I live a lifestyle of a pimp, pretty impressive huh?

Pimp game, soak it up, you dig?
Take notes and learn from the way I run my game

Hope your haters want beef, 'cause I don't touch the pig
I hope my haters are ready for a fight, because I don't touch pork (referring to beef vs. pork)

How about that, boy, I'm a G, ain't another MC
I'm a true gangster, and there isn't another rapper that can match my style

Or pedophile that can touch the kid, I do it big
No one can compete with me, not even a pedophile, and I do everything big

Like Chris Wallace, big bank, big wallet
Like The Notorious B.I.G., I have a lot of money in my wallet and bank account

Got a flow that go straight to the pros, forget college
My natural talent is so good, I don't need to go to college to succeed

I still got it, if I got an issue, I flow the pistol
I still have the skills and talent, and I'm not afraid to use a gun when necessary

And I'm official, just like them niggas that low the whistle
I'm the real deal, just like a referee's official whistle

Word, man, I shoot to kill 'em, you heard?
Yeah, I shoot to kill, did you hear me?

If you nasty, I shoot 'em with penicilen, you heard?
If you're sickly or dirty, I'll put you in your place with a dose of penicillin (antibiotic)

I'm like Cali, so carry, when I'm flipping the words
Like California, I stay cool under pressure, even when rapping fast

Flip the script on your bitch ass while I'm flipping the bird
I'll turn the tables on you and your crew while flipping you off

Meth sick with the pen, stick a few in your men
My rhymes are so sick, they can easily take down a few of your boys

Then again, stick with my pen through the thick and the thin
But at the end of the day, my pen is all I need to survive in this industry

Look, when my niggas 'get 'em', I send 'em to hell
When my crew gets to work on someone, they won't be coming out alive

And ride with 'em, how about that, nigga?
And I'll ride with my boys no matter what, pretty impressive huh?

Look at my crew, how about that, nigga?
Take a good look at my impressive crew

(Gun bigger than you, how about that, nigga?)
(And the guns we carry? Definitely bigger than you)

Pop bottles, how about that, nigga?
And we drink expensive champagne, pretty cool huh?
