[Redman]

What you know about it? (4X)

A what you know about it?


Yo.. get it right from jump

Doc tapin on debate for months

I got zits on your face that can't wait to bump

Boogie Down to the point I barricade the Bronx

Papi spins the rhymes through your opti lens check it

It's five below my brain is cold

Runny nose evey time Doc exchange a blow

My street team snipe the block up like Rob Lowe

Bodega liquor store, I'm dead in the window

PPP symbol got FBI on lookout

Strip the dirty clothes, hit a 118 cookout

I woof out, son you better buckle in

I write the madness, got ink foamin at the pen

I tear a ligament when I spit it in the wind

I got so much game I can Con Edison

Yeah chicken stand by for exposure

Shut your house down foreclosure ya in cold blood

(Yo cuz) Shut the power out in your house

Cut the phone put a sock in your mouth, let da monkey out



Yo let da monkeys out

Show them fools what it's all about

Holla out, hear me out



Say, oooh ooh ahh ahh ahh, yo yo (2X)



Yo let da monkeys out

Show them fools what it's all about

Holla out, hear me out



Say, oooh ooh ahh ahh ahh, yo yo (2X)

y'all motherfuckers ain't ready



Is Redman in the house? (One time)

Form a line, jack ya, then pawn the shine

Stay there, runnin with more kids than daycare

One shot prove it ain't nuttin but weight here

When he lands flat I'm the minivan

with Lil' Cease, runnin cities like Geechie Dan

When Richie Cunningham was O.P. I was low-key

Airing niggaz that was more square than my gold teeth

My appetite for destruction is to hustle

All the cottonmouth'll turnbuckle when I rustle

Mr. Tough Guy on the side, I fuck him up too

Slam him, when I bark I marked his Buchanan



Yo, New York niggaz in the house?

Yo yo yo.. is Jersey niggaz in the house?

Yo yo, I hold fort with a quart of Olde E from Newark

I tell lies under oath if it please the court

Supreme force, in the swamps with the green moss

Bug repellant suit, bustin machines off

I'm deadly roamin with the forty-four blazin in

No negotiator, yo not even Chris Sabien

can save your life -- Doc'll creep in the house

Yo cut the phones, put a sock in your mouth

Let da monkey out



Yo let da monkeys out

Show them fools what it's all about

Holla out, hear me out



Say, oooh ooh ahh ahh ahh, yo yo (2X)



Yo let da monkeys out

Show them fools what it's all about

Holla out, hear me out



Say, oooh ooh ahh ahh ahh, yo yo (2X)



Yo let da monkeys out

Show them fools what it's all about

Holla out..



Say, oooh ooh ahh ahh ahh, yo yo (2X)



Yo let da monkeys out

Show them fools what it's all about

Holla out.. yo



Say, oooh ooh ahh ahh ahh, yo yo (2X)



Yo, haha, 199motherfuckin9 niggaz

Brick City comin through

If you don't know this is Dr. Trevis

Ain't shit changed motherfucker

Pack your own heat, supply your own motherfuckin ammo nigga

PPP comin through, this is Dr. Trevis





Bitch asses
