If the Beef... Songtext
von Da Ruckus

(Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City)
Yo yo ahh!
Have your guns drawn, bitin′ my shit like Won-Ton
You can get gone like carry on boxes of Calgon
Like a watered lawn you soak up my flows like tampons
Phenomenon, five fingers of death like pentagons
Don Corleone like the John or teflon
An ex con, I'm blowing up spots like pipe bombs
A python, I′m striking like snakes in amazons
Prank calling telethons saying my name is Bill Bonds
I'd like to lay a princess like the one from Alderaan
Get a record deal & when my brothers out I'll put him on
Wack MC′s need to cut it out like coupons
Or get hit with criminals in trucks called Yukon′s You like the way I hit you with my special lexicon
Everybody sing along if you know in unison
You know I can't stop cause I only just begun
Try to bite my style but there′s no comparison
Like the meat called venison or the one on skeletons
See my flavors on a roll like the one called Cinnabon
Had some extra baggage so I had too jetison
Now I hope a label picks me like I was a foster son
Got so many styles up on the track like marathons
Tryin' to stack chips like the road to Babylon
You can′t compete I feel for you like Chaka Khan
Infrared dot on your head like Cylons
Peepin' Toms get riddled with bullets like Washington


If the beef between us we can settle it
With the chrome and metal shit
I make it hot, like a kettle get
If the beef between us, we can settle it
If the beef between us, we can settle it
If the beef between us, we can settle it
With the chrome and metal shit
I make it hot, like a kettle get
If the beef between us, we can settle it

See me catching′ wrecks like accidents on autobahns
Avoidin' wack MC's at any cost like pylons
Fake rappers stretching the truth like nylons
I′m sick of people rapping about clothes or ice on
I wish I had enough just to keep the lights on
I′m an icon I'm bitin′ your ear off like Tyson
Da Ruckus heals the pain like the drug called darvon
Hanger on's are out for my Franks like Avalon
Their skatin′ on thin ice just like Michelle Kwan
They need to get a job like characters on Hey Mon!
Or file section 8 unemployed like a vagabonds
Liaison unitin' Detroit like Benetton
An angry DJ breaking records with Lynn Swann
Thinkin′ I'm fresh whipping' a Cadillac Cimarron
Tinted out switches, cell phone & intercom
Better than all the rest so you can say I′m mor-on
Battle anyone at any Port like Huron

If the beef between us, we can settle it
With the chrome and metal shit
I make it hot, like a kettle get
If the beef between us, we can settle it
If the beef between us, we can settle it
If the beef between us, we can settle it
With the chrome and metal shit
I make it hot, like a kettle get
If the beef between us, we can settle it

You can have a badge & a gun, drink the beer then crush the can
Be a nerd who scores the winning point & you still wouldn′t be the man
Don't waste your breath tryin′ to slam jams my lyrics foul
Mother fuck the chosen one, I'm the Golden Child
You′re wack as fuck you must be part of F Troop
The only MC you goin' to eat was in alphabet soup
Your whole styles encased in a bomb shelter
So why even show up? You′re never going to blow up
You said some shit people thought was so amazing
When asked to do it again your arsenal was dried up like a raisin
I'm gonna rip shit so have on standby a tailor
Been big ballin' all of y′all like Shaq & Tractor Trailer
Bring on Superman, Green lantern & The Flash
I got a kryptonite watch dyed yellow & gun of freeze gas
Peace to all MC′s & all hip-hop swingers
Diss me & we gonna brawl like guests on Jerry Springer
You talk shit & I'mma blast you kid
And then I′m going to pose like my man in The Substitute did
You rugged? About as rugged as a babies booty
Take me out? Please you better Jetson like Judy
You're hard? You bout′ as hard as Paul Simon
You're liver than me? You bout′ as live as Phyllis Hyman
Fuck you bitch call the cops while you mopin'
The only reason I split ya skull I was tryin' to help you get open
Kill that noise I′m going to have you all up on the muzzle
I′m gonna rip the stage to pieces and have you hoes puzzled
I'm not an alcoholic but ya still rockin′ with the best
Super MC's I′ll snatch the S off your chest
I'm a rhyme writer not a freestyler I got you stressed

If the beef between us, we can settle it
With the chrome and metal shit
I make it hot, like a kettle get
If the beef between us, we can settle it
If the beef between us, we can settle it
If the beef between us, we can settle it
With the chrome and metal shit
I make it hot, like a kettle get
If the beef between us, we can settle it

If the beef between us

If the beef between us, we can settle it
With the chrome and metal shit
I make it hot, like a kettle get
If the beef between us, we can settle it
If the beef between us, we can settle it
If the beef between us, we can settle it
With the chrome and metal shit
I make it hot, like a kettle get
If the beef between us

If the beef between us, we can settle it
With the chrome and metal shit
I make it hot, like a kettle get
If the beef between us, we can settle it
If the beef between us, we can settle it
If the beef between us, we can settle it
With the chrome and metal shit
I make it hot, like a kettle get
If the beef between us, we can settle it
