Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fuck that shit, you know what I'm sayin'?
I'm a give a shout out to my niggas
I ain't givin' a shout to no-fuckin'-body, fuck that
Big Baby Jesus in the mother fucking house
Know what I'm sayin'?

Unh, come on
I don't walk, I stalk, livin' foul like pork
Shuttin' down underground streets of New York
Hawk is what them niggas call me, 'cause they all be
Suckin' my dick and on my mother fucking balls, G
I know the half, so I laugh wit' 'em
Blood bath went I let the fuckin' rap hit 'em
Full clip, but only half did 'em
That's all it took, another crook
Taken out over a dirty look
I bag game with niggas I leave shot dead
You're only taken a piss from me with hot led
You know my style faggot, 'cause I'm always schemin'
In jail, niggas holdin' a sink screamin'
Police, but you got no peace
Yo, was that you big man, and alot mo' grease
All I gets is pounds, you ain't want none of this
Back streets are like track meets 'cause I be runnin' this

Ain't nowhere to run ('cause I be runnin' this)
Ain't nowhere to hide (come on)
Ain't nowhere to go ('cause I be runnin' this)
Reaper saved your soul (come on)

Surroned by the colors, I see crimson, black and blue (come on)
Locking open doors again, I'm still afraid of you
(straight up, mother fucker)
Light to dark, then light again, I always thought I knew (come on)
Young to old and young again, what's left for me to do? (straight up)
Center of the universe, collecting me in time (come on)
I'm falling down upon the earth, and singing truth in rhyme (come on)
If I was a rolling stone, I'd roll until I'm through (come on)
And if I was a garden I would bloom in black for you
(Dirt Dog in effect)

Ain't nowhere to run ('cause I be runnin' this)
Ain't nowhere to hide (come on)
Ain't nowhere to go ('cause I be runnin' this)
Reaper saved your soul (come on)

ahhhh, yi yi yi yi (come on)

Ain't nowhere to run ('cause I be runnin' this)
Ain't nowhere to hide (come on)
Ain't nowhere to go ('cause I be runnin' this)
Reaper saved your soul (come on)

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
What you mother fuckers invented
Is the craziest nigga that ever been invented
ha ha ha ha ha
Most know, don't front on Ol' Dity Bastard
ha ha ha ha
I call on Jesus
There's no obstacles that you have to jump
There's no walls that you have to climb
This is real, this is elementary dear
Elementary, Watson, Elementary
ahhhhh
I ain't no pictue on your fore wall, necklace wearin' beard
You don't want this money till it's rich
Buy my album, coded by Dirty, set you free
Go against the grain, I got the p
I know you don't recognize me now
I dunked your tongue
How many lightening bulbs do it take to light up a fuck mode?
Brothers, people, you'd better get the fuck off of me
We don't need it, it gets more ugly
Fools tryin' to bust their ass
Tryin' to get away from me when I said my real name
I call myself in the niggas butthole
All the same, all the same, all the same

Ain't nowhere to run
Ain't nowhere to hide
Ain't nowhere to go
Reaper saved your soul

ahhh yi yi yi yi
What, mother fucker?
Don't try to psychology my shit, mother fucker




'cause you'll never psychology it, mother fucker
Never, never, never, mother fucker, never

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Nowhere to Run" by The Crystal Method, featuring Fuzzbubble, Ozzy Osbourne, DMX, and Ol' Dirty Bastard, are a mix of four rappers' rhymes that all aim to establish their dominance, and warn their enemies that there is "nowhere to run." The lyrics paint a picture of a dangerous world where everyone is out to get each other, and the only way to survive is to be the biggest, baddest, and the fastest.


Ol' Dirty Bastard declares himself to be the center of the universe, with everyone sucking up to him. He talks about scheming all the time, and mocks those who think they can escape from him. DMX, meanwhile, talks about shutting down streets and killing rivals with his hard-hitting rap. Ozzy Osbourne adds to the bleak and violent images with his words about doors locking and reapers coming to save souls. Fuzzbubble finishes off the lyrics by declaring that there's no need to jump walls or climb obstacles since there is "nowhere to go."
