Yo, fuck you
Yo, yo, fuck you
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo fuck you
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo fuck you

Yo, sim simma, who got the key to my Bimmer?
Jack moves that's how we act when we team up
(Hey, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, chill out, nigga)
(Let the motherfucker pass us that blunt, nigga)
(They heard what that nigga say, "Puff puff pass, motherfucker")
(Puff puff pass, motherfucker)
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo

Sim simma, who got the key to my Bimmer?
Jack move, that's how we act when we team up
Throw your triple beam up, this is fish scale
I bailed out the county with counterfeit bills
My slang be high range Brick City
Watch how you sniff, son, I'm highly octane
All you hear is bang, bang (bang, bang)
Yo, remember you, bitch? Shit, I forget my last name
It's all about game, nothin' else, for delf
Walk through the woods then stomp on your foot
With high, I take out any comp' in the hood
Gorilla impact in this rap habitat
Get you steppin' in your Air Max, bounce
You cockin' it back but where it at? Bounce
I got a six pack of Heineken and Big Kap on the wheels
In two laps, I give Stella Her Groove Back

My middle name must be, "Fuck You"
'Cause every time I walk by
Niggas be like, "Fuck you"
I'll be dat, I'll be dat, I'll be dat, I'll be dat

I heard the party going on in there, yeah
Well, let me shake my stankin' ass in there, yeah
Soon as I walk in, dogs are barking
Haters played it back, I stay in front lay handicapped parking
Startin' arsons from Jers' to Arkan'
Saw me coughing out that dread apartment
Roll up to the jam with the front end bent up
Watch them chickens, 'fore end up gettin' salmonella
I'm ghetto like D&D, fuckin' wit' D
You be on Banned From TV Part III
In a heartbeat, tiger, straight out the cup
You're light in the ass, son, you weigh 'bout a buck
But I'm one-ninety physique
Two hundred and thirty four pounds total when I'm carryin' the heat
Not platinum more wax but, platinum in the streets
Any nigga that disagree, smack him in the teeth
Then I bag his little piece, rocking the ice
Give it to the projects, gonna rob him tonight
(Why you acting like that?)
The weed made me do it
Devils advocate hot, it take days to do it
My crew do drugs Duane Reade couldn't breed
Drive me in the sun I'll amount to ten keys
Redbones I'm bonin', MC's be clonin'
That's before Doc stretch up and mornin' yawnin'

My middle name must be, "Fuck You"
'Cause every time I'm in the hood
Niggas be like, "Fuck you"

With the chicken head, drawers hangin' from my antenna
I'll be goddamned if a nigga take mine
On foot, shit, put rollerblades on

The nine with swiftness (uh-huh)
I pull it, stretch it like Fonda Fitness
I'm a everyday nigga like a Toyota
Your A&R hope you don't drop the same quarter
Wrapped the puta in a Hefty Two-Ply
(Yo he ain't from Chi)
So haul ass back to Utah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Redman feat. Method Man's song "Ill Be Dat" is focused on the themes of drug use, defiance and being hated by people. In the lines "Yo sim simma, who got the key to my Bimmer?/Jack moves that's how we act when we team up," Redman is referencing stealing cars, while "throw your triple beam up, this is fish scale/I bailed out the county with counterfeit bills" talks about drug dealing. The lyrics show a sense of defiance and non-conformity as Redman raps "My middle name must be, fuck you/'cause every time I walk by/N****s be like, fuck you." The song also references Redman's hometown Brick City and his crew (Gilla House), as well as allusions to popular culture figures such as Stella from the film "How Stella Got Her Groove Back."


The song was a hit among hip hop fans, and its music video featured footage from the 1998 cult classic "Half Baked." Redman's and Method Man's chemistry was once again on full display on this track, with both rappers delivering punchlines and hooks throughout the song. Interestingly, Redman was originally meant to rap the first verse while Method Man would rap the second, but they switched parts during recording as they felt that Redman's verse sounded better on the second part of the song.
