Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Cube)
Ha,Ha,Ha
That's right nigga
Southwest connection (straight up)
Servin' more than peanuts bitch
Niggas tryin' to stay rich

(Mike)
How many ways...can a killa get paid?

(Mike)
How many niggas want a gansta boogie
I see the junkie in your eyes
What do you see me when you see me
A G in disguise
Been hypmotized since '85 with gansta shit
All you niggas get live and represent my click
Got bits and pieces on my mind commin' together like lettuce
Dear God protect us, cause we're mobbin' like Good Fellas
Alias Carlion, maybe the war is on
Prone to let my daughter live rich before she's grown
If I murdered Capone, would you consider me a villain
Chillin' with millionares, ex-killers, and set-trippers
My murderous complex begin to hit 'cha
Slip ya worse than New Jersey Drive niggas
Cause I'm in a
Rush to bust straps like mack-10's
When I'm strapped in
A '95 Impala
Breakin' like Vegas for my dolla
While I'm commin' like a hundred miles and gunnin' who gonna test
The southwests connect when it ain't shit you possess
Yes we got the endo
Splurgin' in Benzo
Turnin' virgins to nymphos
Look what 'cha in fo
A 'G that's gonna let his khakis sag
Mr. Mike and Ice Cube, franch braids and rags
Byatch

(Chorus)X2
How many wicked wayz, can a gansta' get his pays
When he's trapped in a maze
(Cube)
I represent the phrase that says crime pays
Bitches can we fuck, niggas' can we blaze

(Cube)
I treat bitches like puppies
I got a plate full of guppies
Appropriate dish for the big fish
Niggas' rich
They have my straps
Women with gaps
Now they want to' sit in my laps and listen to raps
But no
Heard a nigga' tight named Mr. Mike
Had to catch a flight, its only right
Stepped of the plane, Mean Green and Tony Draper
Killa was the caper
Lets make some paper

(Mike)
See we can't get enough of this gansta' shit
Sick as leukemia for weed in my gansta' click
Lets take riches
Witness two niggas' dome in the killa' zone
Bring your killa' chrome
Cause we headed to the terror dome
Some niggas' never make it home
As long as you got your front
I got your back, its on like that
And like this
Let the weed blow, cause all you G's know
Who got the wickedess flow
The criminiminals

(Chorus)X2
(Cube)
Say What
Niggas' want to' short my cuts
Say what
Niggas' want to' check my nuts
How you sound
Ganstas' make the world go 'round
Guppies bow down
I'm with some killas' from H-town
Chase his ass down to Atlanta, GA
Find out where he stay
Locate my gate
Catch him in the hall
Make his ass call
And then I want ya'll to kill cousin's and all (Ha,Ha,Ha)
They won't believe all the heat I bring
From Palm Springs
Niggas in line to catch the ring
Of the dyin'
Keepin' it calm, so talk slow
Cause you'll never know
When I'm ready to blow
I'm a pro of the lifestyle of the Bloods and Crips
Make a lot of cookies filled with chocolate chips
The Westsides always been down with the South
With Suave mother fuckin' House





(Chorus)X4

Overall Meaning

The song ā€œWickedā€ is a collaboration between Mr. Oizo and Beastie Boys. The lyrics of the song talk about gangs, drugs, and the underground culture of gangsters. The song begins with a reference to the Southwest Connection, which presumably refers to the alliance of various gangs in the southwestern region of the United States.


As the song progresses, the lyrics touch upon the concept of being a gangsta, and how it can be a lucrative and dangerous proposition. Ice Cubeā€™s verse talks about his criminal past and how he has managed to stay alive and rich through crime. Mike Dā€™s verse talks about his love for the gangsta culture and how he is prepared to be part of it no matter what it takes, even if that means ending up in a ā€œkilla zone.ā€


The chorus of the song asks how many wicked ways a gangsta can get his pay, when he is trapped in a maze. The lyrics essentially speak to the sense of entrapment that a person may feel when they are part of a gang or involved in criminal activities. The chorus seems to suggest that once youā€™re in, itā€™s hard to get out and the cycle of violence and crime continues.

[LYRICS]
for those that want the whole thing at once ;)
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension
Well, now, don't you tell me to smile
You stick around I'll make it worth your while
My number's beyond what you can dial
Maybe it's because we're so versatile
Style, profile, I said
It always brings me back when I hear, "ooh, child!"
From The Hudson River out to the Nile
I run the marathon to the very last mile
Well, if you battle me I feel reviled
People always sayin' my style is wild
You've got gall, you've got guile
Step to me I'm a rap-o-phile
If you want to battle you're in denial
Comin' from Uranus to check my style
Go ahead, put my rhymes on trial
Cast you off into exile
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
Jazz and A.W.O.L, that's our team
Step inside the party, disrupt the whole scene
When it comes to beats, well, I'm a fiend
I like my sugar with coffee and cream
Well, I gotta keep it going keep it going full steam
Too sweet to be sour too nice to be mean
Well, on the tough-guy style I'm not too keen
Trying to change the world, I'm going to plot and scheme
Mario C. likes to keep it clean
Gonna shine like a sunbeam
Keep on rappin', 'cause that's my dream
Thank Moe Dee for 'Sticking to Themes'
Now when it comes to envy y'all is green
Jealous of the rhyme and the rhyme routine
Another dimension, new galaxy
Intergalactic, planetary
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
We're from the family tree of old school hip-hop
Kick off your shoes and relax your socks
The rhymes are spread just like a pox
'Cause the music is loud like an electric shock
I am known to do the wop
Also known for the Flintstone Flop
Tammy D gets biz on the crops
Beastie Boys known to let the beat
Mmm, drop!
Now when I wrote graffiti my name was Slop
If my rap's soup, my beats is stock
Step from the table when I start to chop
I'm a lumberjack DJ Ad-Rock
If you try to knock me you'll get mocked
I'll stir fry you in my wok
Your knees'll start shakin' and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Go by the name of the king Ad-Rock
Super educated, I'm smarter than Spock
You ever tell me, you will agree
Ain't no brother like the KRD
You know what I mean?
Tell you, put the echo?
Tell you

I learned that the subway scene in Tokyo was totally unscripted and they didnā€™t have permits to film there. That would have been hilarious to see on your morning commute, the beastie boys rapping in engineering outfits!

@ryanCODMAN

Thats so sick cheers

@RobWVideo

When I visited Tokyo a few years ago and walked into the West Entrance of Shinjuku JR Station, my first thought was "Holy crap, this is where they filmed Intergalactic!"

@flip1sba

Tokyoā€™s homeless didnā€™t need permits to squat there what more film there.

@claygilchrist632

In watching this video for the first time and watching the mixed reaction from subway riders, my first thought was did they get permits or did they wing it? Thanks for clarifying that! šŸ˜‚
