[Intro: Havoc]

Da-da-da..

Right there, yea, spin that back

[record spins back]

Drop it, drop it, yea, uhhh, straight out the lab

Chemistry made, you know, yo

[Verse 1: Havoc]

I don't wanna wild, I just wanna chill

But yet still gettin' confronted by ice grills

They learn when I hit 'em with, heat and conspicuous

Stunt, just a little bit - start, we gon' finish this shit

You little niggaz runnin' round snot nose

I laugh with a cold grin, I dead you wanna pose

You fuckin' wit a nigga, who done been through the bullshit

Niggaz die Mesabi, close friends turn to grimy

Wifey, bonin' associates hate a simple bitch

Add it all together; you know who you fuckin' wit

A nigga who can give a fuck if you broke

Give a fuck what he tote, got the drop then blow

You's a scared nigga tryna live

Yellow back and shit

You's a real good actor, your click actresses

Fact is, niggaz lose stripes for tryna match this

Havoc's a total package; knock a nigga of his axis

[Chorus: Havoc]

Twist your cap +Backwards+, real niggaz handle

Beef, then it's on dunn, lick off if I have to

Niggaz scream gangsta, real niggaz play low

Play in the back, but fuck around and get smacked yo

(And I) Twist your cap +Backwards+, real niggaz handle

Beef, then it's on dunn, lick off if I have to

Niggaz scream gangsta, real niggaz play low

Play in the back, but fuck around and get smacked yo

[Verse 2: Prodigy]

Yo dunn I love it when these niggaz think it's somethin' sweet wit P

Love it when people doubt me

Love it when you niggaz write songs about me, I love confrontation

Love it when a nigga that don't rap, he hatin'

I love it when they think it's only a song I'm fakin'

I love to see they face when my gun bangin'

And I would love for us to bump it to each other on a humble

Your niggaz is stabbin', my niggaz'll buck you

Y'all niggaz is flaggin', yeah we got one too

Infamous, I heard you screamin' our name, whatup with you?

Let me explain somethin', we the world's most

Y'all rap niggaz, we do this shit for real

Look, listen, I knock ya hustle down kid

You's a fall to the next nigga, I murder you bitch

I would love to watch you bleed and take ya last breath

Give you pain, and let you get acquainted with death, boy

[Chorus: Havoc]

Twist your cap +Backwards+, real niggaz handle

Beef, then it's on dunn, lick off if I have to

Niggaz scream gangsta, real niggaz play low

Play in the back, but fuck around and get smacked yo

('Cause I'ma) Twist your cap +Backwards+, real niggaz handle

Beef, then it's on dunn, lick off if I have to

Niggaz scream gangsta, real niggaz play low

Play in the back, but fuck around and get smacked yo

('Cause I'ma) Twist your cap +Backwards+

Niggaz sream gangsta

('Cause I'ma) Twist your cap +Backwards+

Niggaz scream gangsta, real niggaz play low

Play in the back, but fuck around and get smacked yo

('Cause I'ma) Twist your cap +Backwards+
