They ended up leaving Bad Boy over financial disputes with record boss P. Diddy and were snapped up by the DMX-led Ruff Ryders. At that time they released We Are The Streets with the stand-out singles "Wild Out" and "Ryde or Die, Bitch". They expanded their group with the inclusion of new member, Jae Hood, and are now known as D-Block.
For a time, Diddy owned their publishing. They reinstated their beef with him even after performing together at Jay-Z's I Declare War concert; recently, however, Jadakiss and Styles P. appeared on popular NY radio station Hot 97.1 to plead for their publishing rights, a request which was granted.
As individual artists, each member of D-Block has released at least one album. Jadakiss released Kiss The Game Goodbye and Kiss of Death, Sheek Louch, Walk Witt Me and After Taxes, and Styles P., A Gangster and a Gentleman and Time Is Money. Jadakiss, one of the self proclaimed "top five dead or alive", has been the most commercially successful with singles "Knock Yourself Out", "We Gonna Make It", "Put Ya Hands Up", and "Why?"; Styles P. has released "Good Times (I Get High)", "Can you Believe It" featuring Akon, and "My Life" and Sheek Louch "Mighty D-Block (2 Guns Up)" and "Kiss Your Ass Goodbye".
In 2002-2003, Jadakiss and later the rest of The Lox were embroiled in a beef with Roc-a-Fella Records artist Beanie Sigel and the label head, Jay-Z. Today all parties have made peace.
Currently, they have dramatically increased their exposure and popularity and are frequently featured on mixtapes. They are now beefing with G-Unit after 50 Cent dissed Jadakiss for appearing on 50's nemesis, Ja Rule, single, "New York". The feud has grown to encompass both groups. Jadakiss responded to 50's "Piggy Bank" with "Checkmate". 50 came back with "I Run New York" and a video for "Piggybank", which dissed Jadakiss, Nas, Kelis, Fat Joe, *The Game (rapper). Styles and Jada released "Problem Child" directly aimed at 50 Cent. "Kiss Your Ass Goodbye" was released by Sheek Louch and featured Fabolous, Beanie Sigel, The Game and Jadakiss. Lloyd Banks has announced on his upcoming album "Rotton Apple" there will be a diss track aimed at Fat Joe and D-Block named "Death Wish". More recently, D Block went all out on G Unit with the song "Shots Fired," a song whose chorus recommends murdering 50 Cent and G Unit.
Goin' Be Some Shit
The Lox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been too nice, too motherfucking long
Yeah, it's definitely time I get nasty
(Goin' be some shit)
[Sheek]
Yeah, yo, well if I can't talk less squall finish streets like the westerns
Ten paces, turn around and squeeze at unfamiliar faces
Swear you know a nigga's shit by readin the Vibe
Well some faggit-ass reporter don, wrote in your life
I stop the presses, don't let this be your last interview you do
I say it straight, print it straight to avoid this bullet wound boo
And y'all niggas kill me with that Windy Williams shit
Well see a player ?, swear a nigga Puff jerkin niggas money
Something ain't right, them niggas ain't got no whips
Where they rolley's at, but fuck y'all we got more chips
Shit y'all doing nothing, I can buy a ? for a bitch
Now let me see what else, oh yeah these hoes act like we married
We ain't engaged, don't be mad if I don't take you backstage
Yo, if I hit that I hit that, why don't you leave it at that
Instead you try to star sixty-nine my bitches on jacks
That's why you get smacked, cause y'all hoes ain't never gon' learn
That's why many of these younger brothers don't go on that turn
As for y'all MC's, whoever write your rhymes
Might as well hold your microphone, that's how I feel if it ain't your own
But we spit as individually writ, why you paid sixteen stars to write your
Sixteen balls
Bought like sixteen cars and ain't like none of them yours
y'all niggas lucked up and made it through these doors, shut the fuck up
[Chorus:]
Shut the fuck up
(Hot damn)
(Going be some shit)
[Sheek]
Yo, yo, yo, hey yo I pump up, get big walk through the party jig
Hat back, tattoos that's straight to the bar, kid
No weed, healthy as an ox the big man from Lox
You see solo in some spots, no crew just blocks
The freaky one, mom said I was soon to be done
Because I sexed more, and my career's yet to begun
But I can't help that, you bless me with they looks and pops with the yanks
So now the dimes gimme brain, and spot me faster in his hand
Sheek baby, my style been rough until Puff showed me the better things in life
And how to live phat like Biggie, so I present my shit like that
Half rough half jiggy, this part time college nigga, part time job
Had to taste the cake one time and decided to rob, and buy drugs
Caught slipping almost got Sheek plugged, Jack Daniel, dog
Shorty rushed the building with the pump out, he spit around I'm like, whoa!
I guess it was God that pushed my head down, cause I ain't know, word yo
And since then neither religious or christian, but I keep the faith in Him
Plus the desert eagle clan, so if niggas click they know by now they better
? wha
[Chrous]
[Sheek]
Yo, hey yo, my whole click been ConAir, every time we fly but we don't jack shit
We play it cool when in doubt no cash, plastic, gats plastic
Now that's sweet, undetected, so when I walk through the scanners it don't beep
I hear fuck Sheek, fuck the Lox, Styles, and Jay, so what they signed to Bad Boy
Puff jerkin them anyway, but the difference is if I'm gettin jerked I'm still
Seeing noise
Push the big boy toys that fly by like zooms
So I sit and ? like a bitch, Lox in Cancun
Up in daddios fucking wild hoes, the groupy chicas
So fuck y'all, we paid y'all ?, we train hard continuously, cause we
Smart
I rock you ran up them stairs, we run up charts and won't stop til one of us
Depart
With one through the heart, but even then that won't stop us
Cause or spirit gon' guide us, till we rich and old, hand worn down from
Arthritis
In the hall of fame, we killed this game in your website like spiders
Old and gray we're still the same Lox you can't divide us, wha
[Chorus]
The Lox's song "Goin' Be Some Shit" is a standout on their album "We Are the Streets." The lyrics to the song are famously raw and gritty, showcasing the group's prowess as MCs. In the opening lines, the rapper declares that he's tired of being too nice, hinting that the rest of the song will be unapologetic and confrontational. Throughout the song, the group calls out other rappers and members of the industry for various offenses including biting rhymes, fabricating stories, and disrespecting their craft. One of the standout moments of the song is when the rapper Sheek calls out Wendy Williams and other gossip writers for their tabloid-style reporting. The lyrics to "Goin' Be Some Shit" are a no-holds-barred takedown of the music industry's excess and pretense, marking the Lox as one of the most authentic hip-hop acts of their time.
Line by Line Meaning
I think it's time I start feeling bitchy
I have been too kind for too long and I need to start being more assertive
I've been too nice, too motherfucking long
I have been overly polite and accommodating for an extended period
Yeah, it's definitely time I get nasty
I need to become more aggressive and assertive in order to get what I want
Well some faggot-ass reporter don, wrote in your life
A journalist who is likely gay has written a false story about you
And y'all niggas kill me with that Windy Williams shit
I find it absurd that people take Wendy Williams seriously
Where they roley's at, but fuck y'all we got more chips
Why don't they have nice watches like Rolexes? We are more successful and wealthy than they are
I can buy a ? for a bitch
I can afford to purchase anything a woman desires
Now let me see what else, oh yeah these hoes act like we married
These women behave as if we are in a serious relationship or engaged
We ain't engaged, don't be mad if I don't take you backstage
We are not committed, so don't be upset if I don't invite you backstage
Yo, if I hit that I hit that, why don't you leave it at that
If I have sex with someone, why can't that be the end of it?
Instead you try to star sixty-nine my bitches on jacks
You attempt to participate in sexual acts with my partners while I am not present
As for y'all MC's, whoever write your rhymes
Regarding other rappers, whoever ghostwrites their lyrics
Might as well hold your microphone, that's how I feel if it ain't your own
If someone else is writing your lyrics, you may as well let them perform the song too
But we spit as individually writ, why you paid sixteen stars to write your sixteen bars
We write our lyrics independently, whereas you pay other people to write for you
Now that's sweet, undetected, so when I walk through the scanners it don't beep
My fake guns made out of plastic do not set off the security alarms
Styles, and Jay, so what they signed to Bad Boy
I don't care that they are signed to Bad Boy Records
Puff jerkin them anyway, but the difference is if I'm gettin jerked I'm still seeing noise
Although Puff Daddy may be taking advantage of them, they are still successful and making money
