Dj Premier Intro
The Marxmen (M.O.P.) Lyrics

Billy Danze: Handle your business
Take care of your responsibilities

Can't get your grip
Unable to handle the situation

M.O.P: Can I get a witness?!
Asking if anyone agrees or can relate to the situation

Lil' Fame: Ghetto people, your dreams have now been fulfilled
Success has come to those who have traditionally struggled to achieve it

Grip your steel
Hold onto your weapon

Back out your steel
Draw your weapon

Verse one: Lil' Fame
First verse performed by Lil' Fame

What the rawdog feelin?
How are you feeling?

An author like, Terry McMillan
A prolific writer

The cat that, maniac
An intense individual

My fam dark as death in less than a minute
My family is quick to act violently

The Rapid FIRING SQUAD
A group of individuals who act quickly and relentlessly

Keep on mix fire and (hard to kill)
Continuing to be aggressive and difficult to defeat

Loud wires and bombs, firing arms
An aggressive and explosive situation

Look, we all for it
We are fully committed

Its the dutch burning herbalice
Smoking marijuana

Gallon drinkin alcoholics
Heavy drinkers

Walk through your toughest pack of goons with my chain out
Fearless and ready for confrontation

Kept it real ever since the first jam came out
Remained honest and true to oneself and one's music

FIRST FAMILY turned this whole rap game out
The M.O.P. group revolutionized the rap genre

Sheisty individuals, tryin to wipe my name out
Sneaky and deceitful people attempting to discredit the artist

But they don't fuck around cause they know I back that thing out
People are afraid to cross the artist because they know they are quick to use their weapon

And try to mark em off when the gun shots ring out
Acting aggressively and potentially violent when confronted with a perceived threat

And in the myst of black, kid I'mma try to wipe they name out
In the midst of a bad situation, the artist will attempt to overcome adversity

And keep on dubbin till I break a fucking spring out
Continuing to perform and create music until it is no longer possible due to equipment failure

Verse two: Billy Danze
Second verse performed by Billy Danze

You motherfuckas better raise up (they already did)
Addressing individuals who may be intimidated by the singer

WHO THAT? The '87 stick up kids (we're back!)
Referring to the group as notorious criminals

I'm hopin that your focused on the side
Suggesting that the listener be mindful and cautious of potential threats

Cause frontin on me and my, mad niggas die
If provoked, there will be violent consequences for those who oppose the singer and their group

Is this hiphop? Hell no, this is war
This is not just music, it is a conflict

I've been trying to tell you that since ? rocked some hardcore
The artist has been expressing a violent and aggressive stance for some time

You don't listen. See, gee
People do not take the artist seriously

I'm on a mission. Look, be
The artist has a specific goal and is focused on achieving it

They gonna find your ass missing
Violent consequences will occur for those who oppose the singer

Ever since me and Fame came, we maintained
The group has maintained a consistent and aggressive approach to their music

A strange, but a strong game
The group has a unique, but effective style

(That can't change!)
Their approach will not be altered or influenced by others

The real ghetto bad shit for blastin, subtractin
Violent actions and eliminating those who oppose them

Those that ain't matchin my fashion I'm mashin
Anyone who opposes the artist will suffer violent consequences

(Retality's real) Fatality's ill
The reality of the situation is violent and the consequences can be deadly

When your stash in my path then your stash is a raw deal
If anyone comes into the singer's path, they will face negative consequences

(Clap, clap) Get your gat
Encouraging others to prepare for violence and use their weapons

(Buckabuckabubububububububuckabucka) blow, blow, get the fuck back
Making aggressive and violent sounds, suggesting others to back away

Verse Three:
Third verse performed by Lil' Fame

Lil' Fame: FACE MINE Cause I'm here
The artist is present and ready for confrontation

Dog its' all clear
The situation is under control

Rap jewels put it on my baseline from a snare
Creating a strong and memorable musical performance

Then the wanna doubt The Kid
People may underestimate or doubt the singer

Who analyze this whole fucking shit?
The singer is intelligent and perceptive of their surroundings

Trying to make somethin out of it
Trying to turn their situation into success

Explode quicker than landmines
Capable of explosive and aggressive behavior

M.O.P. tapes make earthquakes and cause landslides
The M.O.P. group has a significant impact and influence

Bump this in your Lex coupe
Listen to this music in a luxury car

Or your Lex hoop
Listen to this music in a basketball hoop

Danze, finish em, twenty-one gun salute
Billy Danze is requested to handle the situation violently

(The Crew)
Referring to the M.O.P. group

Billy Danze: How many niggas runnin with me? *pause* (this few)
The artist is traveling with a small group

A hundred niggas gunnin with me *pause* (to shoot)
Despite the small group, they are capable of significant violence

Firing Squad, draw blood on the enemy
The group is prepared to use violence against those who threaten them

At point-blank range, deliverin the penalty
Violent and deadly consequences for those who oppose the singer and their group

AIN'T NOTHING BUT THE THUGS
The group is made up of violent individuals

Slangin out hollow slugs
Using weapons to cause violent harm

(Nigga), anti-love keepin it real (Thug, let em slide today)
The group is not interested in love or compassion, rather violent action

I'm known best for leavin em stretchin like Doc Holliday
The artist has a reputation for causing harm to others

Salute! *main beat stops, baseline continues*
Acknowledging their own violent tendencies and the consequences of their actions

*beat comes back in*
Resuming the musical performance
