Episode 2 - Eastside Songtext
von Method Man

Yeah, uh
The I-N-T-E double L
Here we go, uh
Yeah, the Meth Lab, uh
Here we go

I said shout out to the Westside
But I′m from the Eastside
And you know that we ride
Bumpin' hard beats off the G ride (yeah)
Throwin′ up the peace sign
Lookin' for some feline (uh-huh)
Crushin' power you, that′s how I do

I said shout out to the Westside
But I′m from the Eastside
And you know that we ride (yeah)
Bumpin' hard beats off the G ride (uh-huh)
Throwin′ up the peace sign
Lookin' for some feline (where you at?)
Crushin′ power you, that's how I do it in the meantime


I said welcome to the rec room, not a lot of headroom (no)
Know I′m sacrificin' virgins, catch the beats in my bedroom (come here)
Go against the W (uh), then you might be dead soon (dead)
I could make the sky bleed, butcha, I call it red moon
I never been ordinary, carry weapons more than heavy (c'mon)
Mind was designed to be primed ′cause I′m more than ready (uh)
If you sharpen your machete, better get that coffin ready
Run up in your crib, I fuck your wife and eat up your spaghetti (fuck 'em)

All I do is write rhymes (uh-huh), smoke trees and pipe dimes (uh-huh)
Hustle all day then continue through the nighttime
Nasty like a pipeline (yeah), vigilantly fight crime
Rappers are my sons, I be worried like a white mom
Wu gang is next up (yeah), better have them checks cut (yeah)
Taxes too high, "bye Felisha" man, we fed up
Other rappers sped up, they be outta pocket, see (c′mon)
I can't wait ′til I ball out like Fetty Socket, yeah

I said shout out to the Westside
But I'm from the Eastside
And you know that we ride
Bumpin′ hard beats off the G ride
Throwin' up the peace sign
Lookin' for some feline
Crushin′ power you, that′s how I do

I'm 'bout to hit ′em with that yes y′all, you rockin' wit′ the best, y'all
Verbally, I′m skilled, plus, sometime I take the S off
That'll leave you killed, bucket list that you′ve been checked off
Meth with the F, basically it's me and F y'all
How can I forget Protect ya neck, dawg, not X, dawg
Love some DMX I am practically D-M an X, dawg
Matter fact my next bar colder better yet, it′s hot yoga
You get stretched forward, with all due respect, I don′t respect y'all

That said, I′ma keep the track fed
Look, if he ain't dead, he better act dead
P-L-O forever, peace to Achmed
Type to say what′s crackin' to a crackhead
Blacker than your face that′s a blackhead
Need to be Proactive
These rap kids need to know the meanin' of what rap is
Before they say they rappers
I can say I mastered everything they talkin' ′bout
And after it′s all said and done, you'll see my jersey in the rafters

I said shout out to the Westside
But I′m from the Eastside
And you know that we ride
Bumpin' hard beats off the G ride
Throwin′ up the peace sign
Lookin' for some feline
Crushin′ power you, that's how I do

I′m sorry to keep you waitin' ′cause I've been cultivatin'
Thuggish through my duration, doin′ public relations
Countin′ money and doin' TV shows, I can′t believe he goes
Underground then mainstream, super supreme
And the cream rules everything, you fools do a lot of talkin'
But you never swing and that′s on everything
See, I'm a king, so I look upon my scruples
And then pinpoint which one will be my next pupil

Concentrate, it′s levels and layers, devils and players
Joker's wild while I'm strokin′ her down
We′ll be smokin' a pound
And we came to party, three, The Hard Way
Johnny Blaze, Snoop Dogg and my nephew
You can′t smoke wit' us, nigga, we left you
In the dust, on the bus (what?) Homie (what?) We don′t give a fuck (what?)
Long Beach, nigga, Eastside

I said shout out to the Westside
But I'm from the Eastside
And you know that we ride
Bumpin′ hard beats off the G ride
Throwin' up the peace sign
Lookin' for some feline
Crushin′ power you, that′s how I do

I said shout out to the Westside
