[Intro]
Crush the amateurs who scream they keep it real
Crush the amateurs who scream they keep it real
Crush the amateurs who scream they keep it real
Crush the amateurs who scream they keep it real

[Verse 1]
The braggadocious MC has returned
To backdraft, torch niggas and burn
My sound moves like kilos underground
Cock me back, like a sledgehammer I'mma pound
Niggas into the ground like stakeness
This shit is fakeness, so I'mma break this
Monotony, and show 'em how it's supposed to be done
And keep lame niggas on the run
It's B-I-G S-H-U-G, try to remove me
Find yourself with loose teeth
And you can't stop the unstoppable
Niggas is droppable
When I'm coming through with my lyrical
I'm the ruffneck shwingin'
Drama that I'm bringin'
On your left jaw I'll be tingin'
Because left hooks turns mouths to mush
And when you're in my grip your whole game will be crushed

[Hook]
Crush the amateurs who scream they keep it real
So very hardcore that you hit the hard floor

[Verse 2]
I'll slam an MC like cowboys do cattle
And rattle any snake mutha fucka who wish to battle
There's no way you can win, I'm wipin' off silly grins
When I come to kick your face in
And I'mma break you down to your atom
And if you test that, then I'mma grab one and bat 'em
Down to the ground with this sound
Stash your body parts and they're nowhere to be found
I'mma keep my mental on danger
Anger proves to you that I'm no stranger
And I'mma keep it real as I can
Comin' from murderpan who I am
I'm greater than, that means you're less than
Are you a man? I don't think so with gun in your hand
And I live behind a wall
And when I was released Big Shug is still standing tall

[Hook]
Crush the amateurs who scream they keep it real
So very hardcore that you hit the hard floor
Crush the amateurs who scream they keep it real
So very hardcore that you hit the hard floor

[Verse 3]
Comin' through with the cinderblock flows
Keepin' the dick hard, while pussies wish to tiptoe
Through the valleys of death, troubles of hell
No matter how they gas me, head will never swell
I'm sending you up the river in a holey boat
And rippin' your sleeves off your lambskin coat
You wanna be tough well come test Shug
And you'll find out that my shit is all good
I represent to the fullest that's all I know
And I've got to come through swingin' elbows
And I'll hold the post, hold down the middle
Niggas get knocked the fuck out when they wanna fiddle
You gotta be serious, nothing is too mysterious
Niggas is comin' with the truth
And my punchline is punch niggas offline
When I come through we represent everytime

[Hook]
Crush the amateurs who scream they keep it real
So very hardcore that you hit the hard floor
Crush the amateurs who scream they keep it real
So very hardcore that you hit the hard floor
Crush the amateurs who scream they keep it real
So very hardcore that you hit the hard floor
Crush the amateurs who scream they keep it real
So very hardcore that you hit the hard floor

Big Shug (born Cary Guy) is a hip hop artist and actor from Boston, Massachusetts, and a member of the Gang Starr Foundation collective.

Cary spent much of his early life in Boston’s Mattapan area (known locally as “Murdapan”). Growing up, he forged a friendship with future Gang Starr MC, Guru. The two were separated when Shug was imprisoned and Guru moved to New York, forming Gang Starr with DJ Premier.

On his release, Shug again hooked up with Guru, joined the Gang Starr Foundation, and contributed to each of Gang Starr’s albums, beginning with Hard to Earn in 1994 (on “F.A.L.A.”). He also appeared on DJ Krush’s “Meiso” from 1998’s Moment of Truth, and contributed to Guru’s “Jazzmatazz” albums.
