Bump this shit Bump this shit (Tell me what you know good) Bump this shit Bump this shit.
Let's listen to this music and ask each other what you're good at.

Diemuthafuckadie, we rock the dead, I spit blood cause I love that shit quick to just straight up cum on your bitch don't mean mug or expect to die now put your motha fuckin bag of weed in the sky
Jamie Madrox and I collaborated on these lyrics, and I'm embracing a controversial, confrontational style.

I love creating music and don't need much to perform, but my ultimate goal is financial success. I also note that we've been doing this for a long time, just for fun, and now we're only getting started with making it big.
Some people call me monster but my name is JAMIE the misunderstood with many PERSONALITIES I roll with Monoxide and he's my BRO ran threw many bitches but we don't LOVE THEM HOES but they don't want us they want what's in our HANDS small venue big dicks bout to leave em brash put 12 stiches in that ass like KOBE and when I'm done that freaky bitch is gonna BLOW ME
I recognize my reputation as a 'monster' due to my multiple personalities, but I'm chill with my buddy Monoxide. We've had relationships with women, but they're only interested in what we have, but we're still sexual beings. We're performing in small venues but still have a big impact, and I'm not afraid to be aggressive like Kobe Bryant on the court or in the bedroom.
M-O-N-O-X and a I-D-E only call me Paulie if your DOWN WITH ME never for the money always for the FAMILY. The familys the fire that burns INSIDE OF ME. I'ma juggalo wicked shit is my FAME. Keep it underground so I can let the BLOOD RAIN. If you gotta choice between an axe or a blade better grab the axe and PUT THE KNIFE AWAY.
I go by Monoxide and we're family, which is more important than money. My passion is being a Juggalo and creating wicked music, and I want to keep it underground to maintain our authenticity. When it comes to weapons, the axe is a better choice than a knife.
I got a lil older so I dropped a child, still smokin weed like its goin outta style. Skinny like a bean with the meat of a flea still all these bitches wanna sleep with me. T-W-I-Z-T-I-D on the Eastside is where you'll find me. Need a lil money so I pull a robbery, if I'm runnin from the cops my homies'll hide me
I've grown up a bit but still enjoy smoking weed, and I'm thin but still attractive to women. I represent Twiztid on the Eastside, and if I need quick cash, I'm not above committing a robbery. My friends will protect me if I get in trouble.
Now we back in the game people shakin like a leaf still holdin it down with 3 fingers for the East. Peace to the people that prise with us and if you ain't down with us prepare to bust before we bust on you and your whole crew. In my be boy stance what the fuck you gone do? You ain't fly like an insect your a cockroach and were comin with enough shit to drown both coast
We're making a comeback and representing the East Coast with three fingers up. We appreciate our fans, but if you're not with us, you'll face consequences. I'm ready to take on anyone who disagrees with me, and we're powerful enough to defeat our rivals.
Bite it. be boy stance. Bite it. be boy stance. Bite it. Tell me what you know good.
A refrain that summarizes the song's style and intent.
