Throw Ya Gunz Lyrics

[Intro: Fredro Starr, Suavé & Sticky Fingaz]
Take 'em up, take 'em out, bring 'em out dead
Shine 'em up, shine 'em up, shine a bald head
One gun, two gun, three gun, four
You're mine, it's all about crime
Onyx! Onyx!

[Verse 1: Fredro Starr]
It's time to get live, live, live like a wire
I set a whole choir on fire (Uh)
Well done on the grill, Chyskillz kills
The no frills that try to diss me, they get crispy
(Ha, ha-ha-ha, and we do it like this)
And that, get back I attack tracks
'Cause they can burn in hell shit for all that I care (Yeah)
Beware the bald heads, the dreads dead if they dare (Ooh)
Stick ups assassin,' tracks a new reaction
(These fuckin' niggas shoulda made the All-Madden)
Onyx is wreckin' shit, slip slide step quick
Super on the tenant, the kids crash like a rented
The shit they write is black and white, well mine's got
Mad color, ain't that right my blunt brother?
(Word up! Raze it up!
We do it with the crew that don't give a fuck)

[Bridge: Fredro Starr, Suavé & Sticky Fingaz]
So throw ya gunz in the air
Throw ya gunz in the air
Buck buck like ya don't care

[Verse 2: Suavé]
Uh oh, heads up! 'Cause we droppin' some shit on ya now
Chyskillz, Onyx, Tec-9 for a while
Keep ya eyes open in a fight, I'm a swell 'em
The hardcore style, rowdy and wild hits I'ma sell 'em (Sell 'em)
To all competition slide back then listen
I'm kickin' all that shit to the doormat
Claimin' this domain, cause mad pains
Bloodstains, long-range (Got gats)
Crazy clips, I sink ships, cut faces like a pirate
I've never caught a slug for the mad shit that I did
(Heard?) You got the word so observe
I shatter and splatter bodies and bones and bust nerves
(Open) I always leave my barrel smokin'

[Chorus: Fredro Starr, Suavé & Sticky Fingaz]
Throw ya gunz in the air
And buck buck like ya just don't care
Just throw ya gunz in the air
And buck buck like ya just don't care
Just throw ya gunz in the air
And buck buck like ya just don't care
Just throw ya gunz in the air
And buck buck like ya just don't care

[Verse 3: Sticky Fingaz]
I hate your fuckin' guts, and I hope that you die (Uh)
Sticky Fingaz' name and my life is a lie
Plus I'm havin' a bad day so stay outta my way
(And what the pistol packin' people say ya better obey)
Just in the nick of time, I commit the perfect crime
Rip my heart out my chest, put it right into a rhyme (Yeah)
I don't feel pain 'cause it's all in the mind
And what's mines is mines, and yours is mine
Don't fuckin' blink or I'ma rob yo' ass blind
Onyx, is rippin' shit, I got the Tec-9
So what the bomboclaat, boy, buck-buck, buck-buck
It's a catastrophe, fuckin' with me G
I'm a bald head with a knife
I want your money or your life
So, so, so, so
[Chorus: Fredro Starr, Suavé & Sticky Fingaz]
Throw ya gunz in the air
And buck-buck like ya just don't care
Just throw ya gunz in the air
And buck-buck like ya just don't care
Just throw ya gunz in the air
And buck-buck like ya just don't care
Just throw ya gunz in the air
And buck-buck like ya just don't care

[Outro: Sticky Fingaz, Suavé & Fredro Starr]
We the motherfuckin' Onyx!
And we don't give a flying motherfuckin' fuck
Ayyo, DS, man, we gonna
Come get you out of jail man, fuck that

Ayyo, Big DS, we comin,' man, we comin'
We got the bail! We got the bail!
We gonna break you out man, fuck that

(Yeah) We the fuck up out of this piece

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Onyx’s debut single, released on November 27, 1992. This remains one the group’s most iconic tracks, which established them as an hardcore rap cornerstone.

Fun Fact
In 1994, Onyx performed the song live at The Source Awards, and Fredo Starr decided to start off by actually busting shots into the ceiling while not giving a single fuck.
Even though it was not televised, a couple of audience footages recorded the event.


In “Tales From the Darkside” Fat Joe spoke on Onyx and how they have one of the best live shows ever:
