Dre:

yea, yo lets bring it.

Eminem [chorus]:

whatcha gonna do when shit hits the fan

are you gonna stand and fight like a man

will you be as hard as you say you are

are you gonna run and go get your bodyguard

i said whatcha gonna do when shit hits the fan

are you gonna stand and fight like a man

show us youre as hard as you say you are

are you gonna run and go get your bodyguard

Dre:

niggas is so gangsta, niggas is thugs

niggas'll spend they whole life pedling drugs

slanging dope, in hopes

of one day being able to own their own label

and give the game up

some niggas came up

some just didn't

its just the way is

if it aint minute just (?)

some niggas'll get money

and pay niggas to back em

so they can act up

feel comfortable and rap tough

and thats ass backwards

cuz them niggas is just gonna keep coming back

and thats when extortion happens

its a struggle to get free

i know how that shit be

you give anything that look legitimately

but you gonna find if you do get in this industry

that its best to do bussiness with me then against me

niggas get behind mics and aint even mcs

niggas get on mtv just to diss me

this shit dont even piss me off

i'm laughing all the way to the bank

watching you saddle life in my bentley

you niggas aint even got a car

youre so far under my radar

i dont even know who the fuck you are

i tell you to suck my dick while im pissing

i dont even listen to ya shit to know who the fuck im dissing

and media just feeds into these feuds

trying to add fuel to the fire

this little nigga ja rule talking about hes gonna slap me

nigga please you gotta jump and swing up to hit me in the knees

i laugh at these magazines when they interview em

all they doing is making fake threats to us through em

ya pussy ya not pac i knew em

2pac was a real nigga, you just a fucking insult to him

its too bad, we had a fall out before he passed

because if he could he see this shit now, he'd be whoopin your ass

youre talkin to a pioneer who engineered this shit

for nineteen years who ya got in ya ear ssssss

i aint even gotta say it, the fans know

quit trying to be tough nigga, you look like an asshole

Eminem [chorus]:

what cha gonna do when shit hits the fan

are you gonna stand and fight like a man

will you be as hard as you say you are

are you gonna run and go get your bodyguard

i said what cha gonna do when shit hits the fan

are you gonna stand and fight like a man

show us youre as hard as you say you are

are you gonna run and go get your bodyguard

Obie trice:

they say why dont we increase the peace

the only piece to crease

is that which deletes ya peeps

cuz niggas run mouths but they dont want streets

till that 4-5 decease ya speech

ya its a shame how the beef'll creep

coulda reached a peak

now ya left with a horrible leap

i'm trying to be as bleep

with my speech as possible

just incase a nigga try to throw me an obstacle

nigga im not boxing you

i'm hospitable

i put you in a hospital thats how i get at you

let the doc op on you he dont rid you

you back on them streets

i send another hit at you

this is not a hypocritical issue

i will critical condition ya tissue

give a fuck if ten of them (?) with you

i throw an extra ten of them missiles

turn gangstas into gentleman fickle

and ever since Eminem dissed you

i swear i see the woman and bitch in you

all this bickering back and forth over who signs who

curtis pull ya skirt up ya got murdered

now take it like a man and shake it off damn

and quit tellin all these magazines ya plans

how you gonna slap up my man, ya fictious

nigga we'll send stan to come murder ya bitches

Eminem [chorus]:

what cha gonna do when shit hits the fan

are you gonna stand and fight like a man

will you be as hard as you say you are

are you gonna run and go get your bodyguard

i said what cha gonna do when shit hits the fan

are you gonna stand and fight like a man

show us youre as hard as you say you are

are you gonna run and go get your bodyguard
