[Intro: DJ Premier (ODB samples)]
Rest in peace, Ol' Dirty
"See my name is the ODB"
"The-the-the-the-the Ol' Dirty ba*tard"
"Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang"
"Roc-a-Fella, Roc-a-Fella, Roc-a-Fella, Roc-a-Fella"
"Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang"
[Chorus 2X: Ol' Dirty ba*tard w/ samples cut]
As I poppppppppppp, shotttttttttttttttttts
As I po-a-opppppppp, shotttttttttttttttttts
[Ol' Dirty ba*tard]
'86 was the year that it started
Crack hit the states, and my hood got to poppin'
Back then, you had to catch it with narcotics
Without a doubt, Brooklyn had the hardest projects
Nowadays, if a n***a say you got it
You be sitting in the country, with like 3 or 4 charges
Young when started, but I had a talent
To get this past and drunk, cuz I took it as a challenge
The older n***as game me much as I can handle
Cop the eagle, started jackin' with the green New Balance sh**
I'm feelin' clean, I was only thirteen
With the heavy starch, on my Bugle Boy Jeans
My name's spelled right on my four finger ring
It was Dirt then, cuz McGirt you ain't seen
"The Ol' Dirty ba*tard"
"Rollin...."
[Chorus 2X w/ more samples cut]
[Ol' Dirty ba*tard]
Toe to toe, I scrap with the best
If I spit ten rhymes, n***a, nine gon' connect
If you in front of 1 or 2, I respect
Cuz I probably just forgot, and wrote it strictly for my set
Wu-Tang, man I love my set
n***as comin' up here, this is where the G's at
Look here, more money, more problems, my a**
You'se a naive cat, if you still believe that, for real
That's a trick to try to keep you where you at
All content, while n***as ridin' Bentley's and Maybach
Think I'mma lay back, playa, forget it
First hundred G's, I see, n***a, I'm tryin' to flip it
And that's some real sh**, not just a lyric
Drop a couple open cases, not too specific
n***as out here tryin' to prove whose the realest
It's ok to pop sh**, but come a little different
"Tell 'em who the f** I be..."
"The ODB"
"Tell 'em who the f** I be..."
"The-the-the Ol' Dirty ba*tard"
[Chorus 2X w/ more samples cut]
"Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang"
"Roc-a-Fella, Roc-a-Fella, Roc-a-Fella, Roc-a-Fella"
"Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang"
"See my name is the ODB"
[Chorus to fade w/ more samples cut]
