"One for you, one for me
Two for you, one-two for me"
"What?"
"Three for you"
"Get, get, man, I'll smack-"
"Fuck is out here goin' on?"
"Smack fire out your fuckin ass
Get the fuck up outta here, man"
"So, yo, matter of fact, matter of fact"
"Think my head is made out of fuckin' flyer"
"Shit aight, just-
This ain't even enough bread right here
This ain't enough"
"We gon' shoot right over there" (fuck that man, yo)
"And, yo, them niggaz got the big cream over there"
"Aight, let's get this cash smooth, nigga"
"So chill"
"Yo, Duke, spark up, light up the tropical, kid"
"Alright don't play me like I got a flowerpot head, kid"
"Just chill" (on the real, man)
"Let's go get this money fast, son
I know how we gotta do this kid" (aight)
"You scrunge-head motherfucker"
Yo, lay on the crime scene, sippin' fine wines
Pullin' nines on, UFOs, takin' they fly clothes
They eyes closed, we gettin' loot
No doubt, check the word of mouth, unheard about
Guns go off and now a murder route, I'm out
My raps play the part like in Get Smart
Secret agent and amazin', styles blazin'
Johnny Blaze and Tony Starks in the Days Inn
And rhymin', my nigga Lou Diamond with Robert F.
We like Meth to go and fuck with Noodles
Havin' them poodles on the lockdown
Buyin' me Amarettos and chewables
Smackin' pharmaceutical
Rap niggas on dust and woos
Yo, I told you, some kill, robbed and fold
The goal's untold, fuck it it beats parole
So stroll marvelous, soul controller of the globe blow
Goddamn I got it sewn
And yo, what up wop-wop?
The suitcase high and we can talk
You can walk out the fuckin' building and get caught
Save the fully inflatable
Rap relatable, drug relatable
Niggas here to play with you
A hundred dollar Rottweiler spoil the spot sellers
Guns and Glocks for the niggas who got props
Off top, jail niggas get mad bigger
And, yo, mail a guy about a hundred pictures
Word to mama, this rap wonder rhymer team got drama
Comma, plus smoke real ass marijuana
Chef Maranzano, boats across the Verrazano
Immaculate, bust off my gun so accurate
And get cream in the cuisine of Queens
I told you, money skated with the night beams, and two rings
Crazy fag, I'm gettin' ready to do this shit
Sniff mad shit, man
Niggas better not even step on my shit
Who's the knucklehead, wantin' respect?
Chop his fingers in the drug game, money well known
Lead singer, humdinger, flash is the aftermath
Here's his photograph
Run up in his lab, take off the mask, Chas, and think fast
Don't laugh, bag the cash, grab the hash, don't forget his stash
Grab the tear gas, and place it in his face fast
At full blast
Then skate to the gate further upstate
I heard they got crazy weight
Bagged up by the gates, in crates like disco breaks
Yo, look out for Jakes
Give it all it takes
Let's burn the place before we motivate
Yo, Blake, nigga, don't fake, rape his mate
If the bitch scream, for God's sake, grab the grey tape
It's by the plate, with the blow crushed up with the flakes
Killer snakes, four bodies found floatin' in lakes
Drug related, paper talkin' 'bout the kids who didn't make it
Hits without a trace
Never seen the bricks, see Rae and Ghostface
Congratulations Chef, let's celebrate and sip an eighth
The rap scar is on, rap parmesan
Poke on, put it on, seal it on, we're silicone
Spark it on your Talk-a-thon
This rap phenomenon to correspond took the arms
Hit me on the hip and horns, rap chaperone
Scars, tones, bar thrown, war tones, raw tones
Blowin' out their jawbones, but your rap's fraudulent
Plug in these rap coordinates, it's reinforced with suspense
Be on your rap sword defense
These microphone professional, sensational
Fully operational, I got niggas here to play with you
You know the steez, you know my whole program
Brothers from the No-Lands
All we want is the Gs, guns and grams
Livin' fat like the Hoffa
Mafia, sippin', eatin' pastas
Layin' in the house tellin' the seeds about the sagas
Before we got dramatic and thoughts got sporadic
We grabbed golden tablets and quick guarded the Abbots
Slugs hit the Pelle, punch holes into the belly
Sucker tried to knock me out the box like Skelly
I smoke the weed dreams, I drop top to the breeze
Honey dip spendin' Gs on nails and hair weave
The crime boss, takin' no loss, excessive force
We can play the A-Train, back of the iron horse
"Aight"
"Yo, man, you know what I'm sayin'?"
"Fuck it, man"
The song "Knuckleheadz" by Raekwon featuring Ghostface Killah and U-God is a representation of the tough street culture and lifestyle of the Wu-Tang Clan in the 1990s. The lyric "Let me-, let me hold that" means "give me some of what you have". The song then details a conversation between a group of men who are planning to rob someone for money. The lyrics "Yo, Duke, spark up, light up the tropical, kid. Alright don't play me like I got a flowerpot head, kid," means the singer wants someone to smoke marijuana, but not to assume that he is inexperienced in doing so. The song also includes the line "Havin' them poodles on the lockdown" which means having someone under complete control.
The lyrics of the song describe the street culture of the time where crime and drug use were rampant. The song invokes a sense of danger, urgency, and tension as the men plan to carry out their robbery.

Yo, I told you, some kill, robbed and fold
The goal's untold, fuck it it beats parole
Like Method Man from Wu-Tang Clan, we mess with other rappers. We keep their girls under control, buying us drinks and drugs. We take pills, even prescribed drugs. Some of us kill and steal without getting caught or going to jail
So stroll marvelous, soul controller of the globe blow
Goddamn I got it sewn
And yo, what up wop-wop?
The suitcase high and we can talk
You can walk out the fuckin' building and get caught
Save the fully inflatable
I'm confident and in control of the world. I've got everything sorted out so well. Hey, what's up? The suitcase is valuable and we can discuss. You can leave without worry since it's safe with us

We are here to relate to the people through our rap and the drugs we sell. We are the ones to mess with you, causing trouble. We use expensive Rottweilers to intimidate our rivals. We have guns and powerful connections. In jail, we become bigger and more dangerous. I send someone a hundred pictures

I swear to my mother, our rap group is full of exciting events. We smoke real good marijuana. The chef Maranzano is excellent and travels on boats. I shoot my gun with deadly precision and get money through Queens' food. I previously told you about the money we made from the night
Crazy fag, I'm gettin' ready to do this shit
Sniff mad shit, man
Niggas better not even step on my shit
I'm going to do something really crazy and intense. I'm getting high on drugs, and nobody should mess with me
Who's the knucklehead, wantin' respect?
Chop his fingers in the drug game, money well known
Lead singer, humdinger, flash is the aftermath
Here's his photograph
Who is the fool seeking attention? Let's punish him in the drug business, where he is well-known. He thinks he's the lead and the best, but he's nothing special. Here's his photo
Run up in his lab, take off the mask, Chas, and think fast
Don't laugh, bag the cash, grab the hash, don't forget his stash
Grab the tear gas, and place it in his face fast
At full blast
Then skate to the gate further upstate
I heard they got crazy weight
Bagged up by the gates, in crates like disco breaks
Yo, look out for Jakes
Give it all it takes
Let's burn the place before we motivate
Yo, Blake, nigga, don't fake, rape his mate
If the bitch scream, for God's sake, grab the grey tape

Hits without a trace
Never seen the bricks, see Rae and Ghostface
Rush into his laboratory and wear no masks, but think quickly. Don't ignore the cash and the drugs, and grab everything. Quickly use tear gas and get out in a hurry. Let's escape to a gate upstate, where they have a lot of weight. Look out for the police. Let's destroy the place before we leave. Hey Blake, don't pretend, rape his girlfriend. If she screams, use the gray tape. The drugs are on the plate. There are dead bodies found in the water, related to drugs, and some kids didn't make it. Our hits are completely discreet. Only Raekwon and Ghostface are seen, not our drugs
Congratulations Chef, let's celebrate and sip an eighth
The rap scar is on, rap parmesan
Poke on, put it on, seal it on, we're silicone
Spark it on your Talk-a-thon
This rap phenomenon to correspond took the arms
Hit me on the hip and horns, rap chaperone
Scars, tones, bar thrown, war tones, raw tones
Blowin' out their jawbones, but your rap's fraudulent
Congratulations Chef, let us celebrate with some marijuana. The rap game is real and we won. Let's plug in, turn it up, and make our mark as if we are silicone. Start something new on your radio show with our music. Our fantastic rap style is so good. Message us on our phone and we'll help you. This rap is groundbreaking and genuine, hitting the notes that others can't. We are blowing out jaws with our power, but your rap is fake
Plug in these rap coordinates, it's reinforced with suspense
Be on your rap sword defense
These microphone professional, sensational
Fully operational, I got niggas here to play with you
Follow this rap map, and prepare yourself for excitement. Be ready to defend yourself as if in a sword fight. We are experts on microphones, exceptional and completely serious. We are ready to face anyone who wants to play with us
You know the steez, you know my whole program
Brothers from the No-Lands
All we want is the Gs, guns and grams
Livin' fat like the Hoffa
Mafia, sippin', eatin' pastas
Layin' in the house tellin' the seeds about the sagas
Before we got dramatic and thoughts got sporadic
We grabbed golden tablets and quick guarded the Abbots
Slugs hit the Pelle, punch holes into the belly
Sucker tried to knock me out the box like Skelly

The crime boss, takin' no loss, excessive force
We can play the A-Train, back of the iron horse
'Aight'
'Yo, man, you know what I'm sayin'?'
'Fuck it, man'
You already know my style, you know what I'm up to. We are from a place with no real opportunities, and all we want is money, guns, and drugs. Living very well like the legendary Jimmy Hoffa, we spend time at home telling stories of our adventures. Before we got intense and acted recklessly, we got our acts together and kept guard of our property. Someone tried to kill me, but I survived. I smoke marijuana and drive fancy cars while women spend thousands on their looks. I am a crime boss who never loses, using excessive force. We can take the A-Train and the back of the subway to get around. Yes. You know what I mean. Let's get to it.
