Come on, ha, you want it want it 
Come on, you want it, ha 
Come on, you want it want it 
Come on, you want it 

Yo 

We got to get started 
We got to get started 
We got to get started 

come on, come on, come on, come on 

What ya'll get it ain't haunted, call it 
I see some of y'all thirsty for it 
Straight runnin' y'all winnin' come down to the combat dog I'm a workaholic 
My smack touches every enemy within my clutches 
Black bringin' that ruckus 
And I'm puttin' that lean on all you suckas 
Black! Yo bone crushes 
Every opponent suffers 
Yer tone hushes from bunches 
Don't you like percussion? 
Don't lose yo life for nothin' 
You don't wanna try to touch 'em 
No competition, listen: this ain't open fo' discussion 

Ha, you want it want it 
Come on, you want it 
Ha, come on, you want it want it 
Ha, you want it 
Come on, ha, you want it want it 
Come on, you want it 
Ha, come on, you want it want it 
Come on, you want it 
Come on! 

We got to get started started 
We got to get started, yeah 
We got to get started started

Come on, you want it want it 
Come on, you want it want it 
Come on, you, come on, you, come on, come on, come on

My sound entrenches each of the five 
Senses and hold in shock 
Value of electrified 
Fences you mortify, pressurize, best defy 
We slide into the next dimension time to exorcise, recognize 
Your spine tingle, darts mingle, while this line sting you 
It's tricks on yo state of mind, somebody's watching you 
Just look alert-alive 
'Cause only one survive 
No use of lyin' to yourself, you standing eye-to-eye 

Come on, you want it want it 

We got to get started

Black! yo bone crushes 
Every opponent suffers 
Yer tone hushes from punches 
Don't you like percussion? 
Don't lose yo life for nothin' 
You don't wanna try to touch 'em 
No competition, listen: this ain't open fo' discussion 

Ha, you want it want it
