Da Rawkus (Original Version)

[Intro: Dankery Harv, (sample)]

Y'all know what this is! Holla!

("Nevertheless, I just...")

[Refrain: J Dilla, (Dankery Harv)]

J Dilla, Madlib collab'

Take cats in the back in the lab

(Yeah, c'mon, niggas! Bankroll out! Uh!)

(Pop somethin', smoke somethin', drink somethin' – yeah! C'mon!)

[Verse 1: J Dilla, (Dankery Harv)]

Yeah, yeah, J Dilla, Madlib collab'

Take cats in the back in the lab

And dangerous with pens and pads

I don't even really need to ad-lib the rap

Better fix your traps, or you'll get sah-lapped

By a nigga in a Piston cap

Detroit players, pimps, and macks here

We live this – you wack, then it's a wrap

And niggas ain't with that dissin' crap

So don't spit it, I spit back tit for tat

And please don't twist the facts, I'm back in this

To shut down the game and switch it, Jack

Then shake shit up, twist the cap

Now I'm all over the place – get the picture? Snap

Y'all better beware, muh'fuckers

And y'all better prepare for da rawkus!

[Interlude: Dankery Harv]

Yeah, you know how a nigga brang it

Yo, it's veterans up in this muh'fucker – yeah!

So what? Let's get live! Drink somethin'!

Yo – where y'all at?

Yeah, we bringin' it to the hood, y'all – yeah

Uh! Y'all know what this is –

Live niggas only, it's not a game, nigga - uh!

{*scratches*}

[Adlibs: J Dilla, (Dankery Harv)]

Oh! (Yeah! Uh-huh!)

Uh! Yeah! G'yeah (J Dilla, y'all! C'mon!)

[Verse 2: J Dilla, (Dankery Harv)]

J Dilla, Madlib collab'

We take cats in the back in the lab

We heavy like Chevys, and 'Built To Last'

You ain't built to last, you will collapse

Shoulda did your math –

Get ready to feel the wrath when Dill' and 'Lib attack

Better come real with that, niggas yield the yappin'

What you rappin' – fibs or facts?

If it ain't real, don't deal with that

Here to shut down the game, it's Dill' and Mad' (Uh!)

With the rough-ass Brillo pad shit

Live with it when I five-wheel the 'Lac

We out, tryin' to fill the fists with scratch

So after you get the dick, get the picture – snap!

Y'all better beware, muh'fuckers (Uh!)

And y'all better prepare for da rawkus

[Interlude: Dankery Harv]

Where the party at?! C'mon!

Push 'em up! Yeah

It's all on us – yeah

Y'all free tonight – how y'all feelin'?

Pull up in the club and show somethin'

Show some love tonight, yeah

Let me see that bankroll – c'mon, y'all, spend some money

Yeah! Y'all know what this is

Uh-huh! We Mummy'ed out! Yeah

[Outro: various vocal samples and outro dialogue]
