About This Track

D12 come out swinging on 'Keep Talkin'', a track built on pure antagonism. Eminem, Kuniva and Swift trade verses over a beat built from samples of Nas and Starwood, each one doubling down on threats and insults with the kind of relentless aggression that defined the group's approach. The chorus is a taunt wrapped in a dare: keep your mouth running, the song says, because we're not stopping and we don't need to prove anything to you. The verses are vivid and violent, each member staking out their own corner of menace. Kuniva talks about dealing crack to his therapist and threatening entire families. Swift leans into pure chaos, the kind of unhinged persona that made D12 distinctive in their moment. There's no pretence of depth here, no narrative arc. It's provocation as its own justification, the sound of a group at the height of their collective confidence, daring anyone to match their intensity.

"Keep Talkin’" is a track by D12, from the album D12 World, released 15th April 2003. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Keep Talkin’

[Intro: Bizarre]

Yeah

Detroit motherfucker

DJ Green Lantern (the evil genius)

D12

We ain't going nowhere

We still smoking crack nigga!

Ha ha

Let them know

HA-HA

[Chorus: Eminem]

Bitch, keep talking

Keep on popping off, with them jaws because, we ain't stopping

We ain't got to prove shit to y'all

So all y'all can lick the balls and keep walking

Keep on popping that shit you're popping

'Cause we ain't stopping, 'cause you ain't stopping us

We ain't got to prove shit to y'all

So all y'all can lick the balls and keep walking

[Verse 1: Kuniva & Eminem]

Yo, (Kuniva!) the derelict's back

I'm blazing niggas while they up in the Sheraton last

I even sold my therapist crack

You niggas is bitch, straight up, I'm bearing the facts

I love pussy wit' all my heart but I'm married to gats

And nigga I'm top pedigree so don't play wit' me

I'll blow your tattoos all over your baby seat

Kids and all been hit

Peers and all Mossberg will take your back, liver ribs and all

Kuniva the street talker, heat sparker the beef starter

Packing guns when I'm sleep walking

(Bitch, keep talking)

Throwing fire bombs down your chimney

While you eating at Wendy's

I'm in your bushes cocking the semi

Nice with the hands

Never bow down to another man

I was popping guns while you was still popping some rubber bands

Smother your clan

Sever your hands and your legs

Mail your brother your heart and send your mother your head

[Verse 2: Swift]

I'm the only one your bitch let touch her

Type of brother that will fuck your mother

With a fishnet rubber

A belligerent and rowdy motherfucker

That'll dump your body and still fly away to Maui on Atella

When it comes to beefing, it ain't no explaining

I'll change your language with a stainless

I'm contained with an anguish to leave you famous

I'm a deranged pit, I lift an AK and paint your face with

Niggas don't say shit, fuck your hype man

If it's a bystander standing by, I'm fire in at your, 'cause I can

You get squashed like pop cans

I be shooting 7 up in your mouth, man

I'm about to sell your mama bud and lace it

So when she fire it up she's coughing blood

I love to see 'em wasted

I'm made to behave in this case

You try to be brave in this rage and your legs will be replaced

[Chorus: Eminem]

Bitch, keep talking

Keep on popping off, with them jaws because, we ain't stopping

We ain't got to prove shit to y'all

So all y'all can lick the balls and keep walking

Keep on popping that shit you're popping

'Cause we ain't stopping, 'cause you ain't stopping us

We ain't got to prove shit to y'all

So all y'all can lick the balls and keep walking

Bizzy, come on!

[Verse 3: Bizarre]

I ain't here to talk about Benzino or Ja Rule

I'm here to talk about little Ray Ray and what I'ma do

Psyche, I ain't gonna mention it, he'd probably sue

Next week, this shit'll be out on DJ Clue (Exclusive)

The first time I had sex... a dirty mattress

No condom... my grandmother... bent over backwards

Bizarre been fucking raw all summer

Let's make a trade, my wife for your brother

Psyche, I'm not bisexual

I'm an intellectual, transsexual, with one testicle (one nut!)

And I ain't saying shit just 'cause it rhyme

I got colon cancer, I'm dying

[Verse 4: Proof & Eminem]

YAY! YAY!

Rest in peace Jam Master Jay, 2Pac and Notorious BIG

I'm probably the best

God in the flesh

Blow your heart out your chest

And your chest out your vest

Leave your body a mess streets bloody as hell

Study my trail I cut him he fail

A druggy on bail nutty as well

Which such like Buddy Revel

Dead or in jail

Still heading for hell

The ghetto rebels the wrong guy

Hit your lungs, heart

Leave you full of holes like SpongeBob

We can set this from your front door to your CEO office

Got the key to your coffin (So bitch keep talkin')

Greet me wit' offers we taken over

Or get China white mixed wit' baking soda

Your hear me

GET IT CRACKED!

[Bridge: Eminem]

Fucking crack heads

And this is just mix tape shit you fucking morons

This ain't brains over brawns

This is bullies over fucking pussies

Ha ha, come on

[Chorus: Eminem]

Bitch, keep talking

Keep on popping off, with them jaws because, we ain't stopping

We ain't got to prove shit to y'all

So all y'all can lick the balls and keep walking

Keep on popping that shit you're popping

'Cause we ain't stopping, 'cause you ain't stopping us

We ain't got to prove shit to y'all

So all y'all can lick the balls and keep walking
