Stomp Da Roach
U-God Lyrics

It's the sasquath, Jackpot
Scotty Wotty is introducing himself as a big and powerful person

The roach killer, that's what we do
The group is known for their ability to exterminate roaches

You know what it is, you little crawly creepy bastards
Scotty Wotty is addressing roaches as little and creepy creatures that the group hates

We ain't tripping, read the sentence
The group is not worried or bothered about anything, and wants others to understand their message

The Gods got it locked like upper Maine in Sam Quinten
The group is confident in their abilities and control, like prisoners in the securest part of the main prison

You drinking muscle milk, homey, you gon' get killed
Drinking muscle milk will not help you survive against the group, and may even lead to your death

Walking round like Deebo, cause you slight built
Being small like Deebo may make you feel tough, but you are still weak and vulnerable

It's a dirty job, we get it popping hard
Exterminating roaches is a tough and unpleasant job, but the group does it very well

We turn this whole shit slamming to the Mardi Gras
The group can turn a dull situation into a lively and joyful party, like Mardi Gras

And ain't nobody mad, it just we got it bad
No one is upset or angry, it's just that the group has a strong passion for what they do

Like a body being slumped when you hail a cab
When you look defeated and weak, like a dead body, people may not want to associate with you

Vaccum packed, concealed, no room for breath
Roaches can be sealed up and suffocated using a vacuum, leaving no opportunity for escape

I grip a mic, it's Five Fingers of Death
U-God is confident with the microphone, and pledges to perform so powerfully that it will feel like death to the listener

So, stomp the roach, stomp the roach, you know?
The group repeats the phrase to emphasize their hatred of roaches and determination to exterminate them

When I slip on, the grip-on, no clip on
GZA is describing his shoes, saying they have gripping soles but no clip (to attach accessories)

And on the O'Jay's like Christopher Pawns
GZA likes to listen to The O'Jays, and compares his enjoyment to actor Christopher Plummer's name

And eat with the beast, in the valley of death
GZA is comfortable in rough situations, even if it involves eating with wild animals in a dangerous place

Walk on the right, but I shoot with the left
GZA is right-handed but skilled at using his left hand to shoot a gun

Stomp out a roach with the decon breath
Using a pesticide called decon, the group can efficiently kill roaches by their toxic breath

All you little rat bastards, I stomp you to death
The group addresses roaches as rats, and pledges to step on them until they are dead

Four more seconds 'fore the bomb come on
Just a little more time before their plan (to exterminate roaches) is in full effect

Roach killer, you scatter when the lights come on
Roaches flee in fear when the lights are suddenly turned on, which is when the group kills them

You can run on, and start ducking and dodging
Roaches may try to evade the group's attempts to kill them by dodging and running away

I pluck you, crush you right between the margin
U-God catches and crushes roaches with precision and ease, like pressing them between the margins of a book

I'm the drill sergeant, I'm the boric acid
U-God is the leader of the group, and is as powerful and effective as boric acid (a type of pesticide)

The black flag nigga, the bio hazard
The group is dangerous like a black flag signaling danger, and as hazardous as biological waste

The econimist of the bio standard
The group understands and follows the most effective practices of using pesticides to control pest populations

And he sprayed the myst on them fly's that landed
U-God sprays an unknown substance (myst) on flies that land nearby

And I can be obvious or I can be candid, but
U-God can be straightforward or more secretive about his pest control operations

I'm shaking roaches off my shoes and socks
U-God has roaches on his footwear and is shaking them off

Then I, pluck roaches out my Fruit Loop box
U-God finds roaches in his cereal box and removes them

Then I, tell my girl to change all the locks
U-God takes extreme measures to keep roaches out by changing the locks of his home, potentially to keep his girlfriend safe from pests too

Then I, throw my finger at the hip hop cops
U-God dismisses any authority figures, such as cops targeting hip hop artists, as nonsense

Then I, put on my Timbs, then I stomp the block
U-God puts on his Timberland boots and goes out to exterminate roaches in his local area

They known to leech off people for, years and years
Roaches have been known to feed off human waste and resources for a long time

They cause trouble by, staying up in, niggas ears
Roaches can be a nuisance by crawling around in people's ears

They set up shops in apartments in projects
Roaches can infest and live in apartments and housing projects like they are running their own businesses

Bold enough to roll up on, any object
Roaches are daring enough to approach any object, including humans or pets

Grabbing on my gear til they pull the label off
Roaches can cling onto clothing or equipments so tightly that they could peel off the label

They fight for the crumbs that's on my table cloth
Roaches compete with each other to grab even the smallest crumbs off a table

They keep they antennas up, the signals strong
Roaches are always alert and responsive to the environment, with strong senses

They got the neighborhood bugged, that's how they survived so long
Roaches have been very successful in surviving due to their ability to survive anywhere in the neighborhood

Immune to 'combats' and, household 'raids'
Roaches have become resistant to insecticides such as combat and more common household sprays

Like informants that's living off, government aid
Roaches remind GZA of informants who rely on government aid to get by

We leave roaches where the remain and trash lays
The group leaves dead roaches in the garbage where they belong

Incinerate it, they spend they last days in ashtrays
The group burns the garbage, including dead roaches, and removes their presence once and for all

Ignored by the dogs, but, chased by the cat
Roaches do not interest dogs but can get chased around by cats

Like a sneaky ass rat that got caught in the trap
Roaches are like sneaky rats that eventually get caught in traps laid out by the group

A small time nigga, who didn't have a clue
Roaches are nothing compared to the power and expertise of the group

It take a million of ya'll just to fill up my shoe
The group counts themselves as very powerful and roaches as insignificant, it takes a lot of them to matter
