[Method Man]
Shoes full of dirt, kicking sand on your works
Something gotta hurt, catch a case off a verse
Live in concert, kids coming out they shirts
I'm hyped now, jumping in the crowd, feet first
Meant it when I said it, lungs bring the pain son
Without the anesthetic, make em look pathetic
Needing help from paramedic, Hot with the Nickel
Bust back take em with you, survival of the fittest
And the world out to get us, I feel it in my bones
I can feel it in my testosterone when it's on
Stat' bring it back, hard rap for your pussycat
Cognac, off the meat rack, where the pussy at?
Johnny, got these niggas mad at they mommy
Jumping on my hard salami, say what you like
In the heat of the night, I crash individuals
Splash on the mic airtight with the lyrical

[Chorus: Cho-Flo & Method Man]
Nigga run with it, have fun with it
Blow your gun with it, and be done with it
Welcome to the killing field where Johnny Dangerous
Headbanger Boogie niggas going through changes

[Method Man]
It all starts with the pad and pen, my special blend
Of herbs and spices on mic devices, murder men
Make em mices I recommend, something that's priceless
For you rap hooligans, claiming you nicest
Call it what you like kid.. you can even call
A psychic for all I care, still ain't got a prayer
Amongst the righteous, Blazini, cheat death like Houdini
Word to Bad Bird that fucked nerds in bikinis
Observer, lyrical flares, you being served
From the gizzard, plucking yo' nerves with nouns and verbs
From the ghetto to the suburbs, I must be heard
Niggas get what niggas deserve
You can put that on my Clan logo, Wu-Tang group or solo
Bloody up my next promo
With the blood of the next bozo, clown-ass niggas be loco
Puffin on lye, cuckoo for cocoa

[Chorus: Cho-Flo & Method Man]
Nigga run with it, have fun with it
Blow your gun with it, and be done with it
Welcome to the killing field where Johnny Dangerous
Headbanger Boogie niggas going through changes

[Method Man]
Yo yo, shit be hot in the kettle pot
Twisted metal bust shot til the beef settle, forget me not
City nights get a nigga hype, scar of life
Send em back now we Poltergeist, ghost, tell em
Who the number the one rap host? Huh?
Verbal overdose leave em comatose, huh?
The nigga with the golden throat is out to get you, Hot Nickel
Bust back and take em with you, eye for eye
Never lie, crossing my heart, hoping you die
Somebody pat the engineer down, I think he wired
I'm off the meat rack, quick to react, my niggas need that
They need gats, cocking heat back, be out like Freejack
The heat's on, you think one-eight, and Johnny's blamed
Who that nigga burn biscuits, and spit flame
Leave no witness, in the fast lane with shady bitches
That only want me for my riches, I know your steez
Terror Fabulous, caution, biohazardous degrees
From this ravenous, MCs be yapping
Meth be the co-captain, on Def Jam's that's close captioned
For hearing impaired, to get a share, now what's happening
Money to share, that's why we here
And y'all actin, like we can't eat, like y'all eat
Now we scrapping, out in the street
I know your crew's hardheaded motherfuckers
And I'm just like you

[Chorus: Cho-Flo & Method Man]
Nigga run with it, have fun with it
Blow your gun with it, and be done with it
Welcome to the killing field where Johnny Dangerous
Headbanger Boogie niggas going through changes

Welcome to the killing field, where Johnny Dangerous
Headbanger Boogie niggas, going through changes

I been in the ghetto all my life
I swore to take that bitch for better or for worse, yaknowhatI'msayin?
That's for life nigga y'know? Til death do us part..

Method Man (born Clifford Smith on March 2, 1971) is a Grammy-winning rapper and actor who is one of the breakout members of Staten Island’s Wu-Tang Clan. On their seminal 1993 debut album Enter the 36 Chambers, Mr. Mef made his name known with his namesake solo track among other standout appearances throughout the album. He was also the first member of the group to release a solo album when he put out Tical in 1994.

In 1996, Method Man won a Grammy with Mary J. Blige in the Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group category for their collaboration “I’ll Be There for You/You’re All I Need.” Meth has gone on to release several solo albums while continuing to contribute to Wu-Tang projects, and he also released two collaborative albums with his partner-in-rhyme Redman in 1999 (Blackout!) and 2009 (Blackout! 2).

He parlayed his success in the music business into television and film roles. He has appeared in The Wire, Belly, The Breaks, The Deuce, Luke Cage, and he’s the host of the rap battle TV show Drop the Mic. He also starred alongside Redman in their short-lived FOX sitcom Method & Red and the movie How High, which is named after their 1995 collaboration. He has also been featured in multiple Def Jam fighting video games, including Def Jam Vendetta and Def Jam Fight For NY.
