Giant

[Intro 1]

[flipping through pages of a dictionary]

"Slum: a district marked by poverty"

"Village: a community of people smaller than town"

Heh... and, oh yeah... we back, niggas

[Intro 2: DJ Dez]

What's up, y'all!

You're listenin' to the world's famous... DJ Dez!

I'm about to bring my niggas out here right about now –

One from the West Side – 12th Street

The other from the East Side – Conant Gardens

Detroit City! Pioneers in this rap shit!

It's my pleasure to present to you – the legendary... SLUM VILLAGE!

[Verse 1: Elzhi]

(1, 2....)

The moment of truth, from the flow in the booth

Is it a classic to blow through the roof?

Just ask 'n let me show you the proof

We're stronger than ever, along with the pressure

Longer then lesser, we're bonded together

Like a song belongs with a measure

You pawned-ed ya treasure, a thing I won't do for the chips

And this be speaking from my heart, so I ain't using my lips

Like a ventriloquist, as I stand killing this

While this reign, critics won't admit, how I can and still exist

It's a introduction, discussin' the info stuck in my mental

Window that's meant to function

Let the people be the judge – we know and expect it

You holdin' the record

Way before the needle even budge

The most hated on, and I stayed alone, was rated wrong

And it's a headache, like yankin' domes with a straightening comb

When our bread brake –

Articles of artists who aren't as hard yo' partners by far

But regardless they are a star, you know?

So as it politics? With dollars become a prince?

Be honest – if not, I promise, I'ma just switch the style of it

We're possibly what the game needs

With the same greed you fakers is with

Making a hit like when you blazin' the weed

Indeed!

[Hook: Elzhi, (T3)]

We areeeeeeeee... (G'yeah! It's us, nigga!!!)

V-Villa, V-Villa (What! What!)

V-Villa, V-Villa (Detroit!!!)

We–we areeeeeeeee... (G'yeah! We been doin' this shit for years, nigga!)

V-Villa, V-Villa (Yeah! Fuck that!)

V-Villa, V-Villa (G'yeah! G'yeah!)

[Verse 2: T3]

They say a nigga fell off when my nigga [Dilla] exited

3 albums later, I kill 'em, gotta represent

2 albums back, [Baatin] had left

Kinda threw me off balance, put a limp in my step

But I pray for my nigga, you know it's one love

But let me tell you some shit that's kinda fucked up

Besides the 'Tin thing, we wasn't the "in thing"

With the bling bling like Mr. Ching-a-Ling

So we didn't get a second single or video

So I say: fuck 'em! Get the dick like a pretty ho!

I guess we didn't need 'em, thanks for the freedom

And every time we see 'em, we let the finger greet 'em

[Hook: Elzhi, (T3)]

We areeeeeeeee... (That shit that feel good music! G'yeah!)

V-Villa, V-Villa (We ain't leavin', y'all!)

V-Villa, V-Villa (Let's go!)

We–we areeeeeeeee... (It's us!)

V-Villa, V-Villa (Elzhi!)

V-Villa, V-Villa (T-muthafuckin'-3! Yeah!)

[Outro: SV, with Sammiyah Dixon on bg vocals, (DJ Dez scratches)]

V-Villa, V-Villa, V-Villa, V-Villa...

V-Villa, V-Villa, V-Villa, V-Villa...

V-Villa, V-Villa, V-Villa, V-Villa...

V-Villa, V-Villa, V-Villa, V-Villa...

("V-Villa" "V-Villa" "V-Villa" "V-Villa")
