[Intro: Method Man (Blue Raspberry)]
1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2
I gets busy on 'em, I gets bust of 'em
I gets busy on 'em, I gets bust of 'em...
(Let's come together for the stimulation
Meth-Tical, hit 'em with the stimulation)

[Verse 1: Method Man]
I got 36 styles on my mind, on my mind
Keep it real, Shaolin represent one timeeeee
All my peoples, are you with me, where you at? (Suuuu)
All my Killer Bees on attack, where you at? (Suuuu)
Throw ya fuckin' hands in the air if you want 'em near
If ya got ya gats, peel a cap for the New Year
Body devotion, what's the commotion?
Wu-Tang Clan, we attackin' your emotion
Flowin' like the ocean (bluuue)
I be comin' for your (creeew)
Flyin' guillotine (styyyle) with the new Meth-Tical
Is it goin'? Is it goin'? Is it gone?
If I ain't on ya records, then the shit ain't really on
One-man band from the Wu-Tang Clan
Ask who the man? Goddamn, it be Method
Here I, here I am in the Clan, it's essential
Puttin' Def Jam on my records, it's on

[Hook: Blue Raspberry]
Let's come together for the stimulation
Meth-Tical hit 'em with the stimulation
Can everybody feel the stimulation?
Meth-Tical hit 'em with the stimulation

[Verse 2: Method Man]
I'm here for you, son, I gotcha back
As long as you keep it real, word, I gotcha back
Brothers want the drama but don't know how to act
Until the chrome pointed at his dome head crack
Come on, let's keep it real, no disguise, recognize
I'm from a small town where "nigga do or nigga die"
That's why I'm stressin'
That brothers keep they thoughts on they lesson
Resurrect yo' mind from the essence, for real
Ill block niggas get robbed like by the dozen
What up, cousin? Now give a pound to that lounge nigga
Peace, my MZA! Killah Hills 10304 by the GZA
Got me wideeee, it's goin' DZA
Make my way for the ooh buildin'
Now I'm chillin' with the neighborhood villains
Thug Life, it be on now
Hear the gun blaow as I milk another cow
Let the Method show you how niggas do it
I study, live the life of good, bad and ugly
Hard times caught a nigga lovely, but that ain't nuttin'
Before I die, I'mma leave the world with sumtin'
To remember me by, the real stimuli!
For you frontin' ass out rappers to capture
I rip the world apart like a natural disaster
I keep it live, somethin' born in '85
I utilize my 3rd eye, got me thinkin'
Baby, you and I should get together for whatever
You never in your long-legged life had it better
Than you got it now, we be loungin', Tical
"Word, son, I like your styleee"

[Hook: Blue Raspberry]

[Break: Method Man, overlaps Hook]
Basically, I'm here for the stimuli
To get high and for doughnuts
Meth-Tical, it's '94 and it's raw, once more
The Wu-Tang saga continues

[Outro Hook: Method Man, overlaps Blue Raspberry's Hook]
Wu-Tang Clan, forever
No, we don't die, we just multiply forever, and ever, and ever...

[Hook' 'til fade]

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.
