Stimulation Lyrics

[Intro: Method Man (Blue Raspberry)]
One-two, one-two, one-two
I gets busy on 'em, I gets busy on 'em
I gets busy on 'em, I gets busy on '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 the track, 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
Blindin' 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, and the Clan is 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 nuthin'
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 yo' 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]

What did Method Man say about "Stimulation"?
Genius Answer

Meth told Complex,

Anyway, ‘Bring The Pain’ was already done, I had that beat before we even did a Wu-Tang album. I had that beat for a long fucking time. Soon as I started my album, I asked RZA if I could have that beat. I think he had to remake it because all that shit got lost in the flood. So when he remade it, we went in and did the ‘Bring The Pain’ record. I loved it from day one.

[After the flood happened], we were out on tour promoting Enter The 36 Chambers. While we’re on tour, [I recorded my album]. When everybody else was going to their rooms, me and RZA was going to the studio. I always felt like my album was real pieced together, I recorded in San Francisco, Texas, L.A., everywhere.

I was recording in some of the weirdest spots. Some of these places had mice and shit and coat hangers with a stocking cap wrapped around it for fucking popper stoppers. When we in the studio recording, on some days, like when we did ‘Stimulation,’ I couldn’t record the way I wanted to because my voice was damn near gone from performing that night.

But the hunger was there because I really wanted to get that shit done. I was the nigga on the outside looking in so I was comfortable. I knew that they didn’t know what to expect from me, so anything that I put out was gonna work for me because I felt that it would. I had that energy and aura about me at that time, I had the upper hand. I didn’t have to live up to a first album because there wasn’t one. Everything would be fresh and new.
