Hit ’Em Lyrics

[Intro: Coolio]
It has come to my understanding that
There are those who would question my skills and abilities
Since it is thus, I must release it myself
For with thou be repremanded
Hit 'Em!

[Verse 1: Coolio]
Hocus, focus on the mighty mic loco
Me and the 40 dump yo ass like a pogo
You better kick it cause I been workin' on my mojo
Make your crew disappear like Dorothy and Toto
Your tripping on me because your girl want my photo
Nigga, you better chill before I send my homie home with your hoe
Fools get Kareemed when they steps into my dojo
It's the ghetto witch doctor sprinkling herbs on the vocal
I deliver hits like my name was Fuji Moto
Platinum and gold all the way to Acapulco
To all rappers international, domestic, and local
Step to the fore or get your ass rolled up like a Rollo
Your points need bifocals, you better try to see like Total
My name ain't Ralph Lauren but I'll play your ass like polo
I kick a solo from here to Soho
You ain't no man eater, nigga, so your whole style is no go

[Chorus]
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em. Hit 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em. Hit 'em! Hit 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Get that nigga, get that nigga! (Ha-ha)
[Verse 2: Ras Kass]
I'm sticking niggas like Mexican's in penitentiaries
The niggas is flinching, see every time the homies mention me
Grew up off Avalon and Century
With a hundred ways of illegal entry, can't injure me
My momma fucked the Unabomber that's why I'm blowin shit to smithereens
I'm like (Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu! Wee!) the nigga flying guillotine
The illest things I bring that not even DeVante could swing
Before a nigga serve me, his 76 is a winter green
Fuck your team, crowbar eating niggas up like Idi Amin
It's time we started serving niggas like they was dope fiends
I smoke all label rosters when I rock like The Thing
In the bucket doin 95 like Rodney King
Extreme animosity, your ultimate adversary
I'm like white blood cells fighting H.I.V. inside a capillary
I'll beat that ass blindfolded like a piñata, scary
My prom night I was fuckin Carrie, had her screamin "Bloody Mary!"

[Chorus]
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ah)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em! Hit 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Hit 'em!)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em! (Wha?)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em! (Break that nigga off)
Rrrr, stick 'em. Hit 'em! Hit 'em! (What's that, Cool?)
Cool, break this nigga off!
[Verse 3: Coolio]
Alright, wait, wait, wait, it ain't ova, I burn like a nova
It's the all seeing all knowing like mother fuckin Yoda
I rock like baking soda from Compton to Dakota
And when I drop I'm gonna crush all these bustas like a boulder
So grab your hoe and see if you can hold her
I put bitches and pets on a fantastic voyage on a ship like Noah
I told ya, I'm a soldier, wake that ass up like Folger's
Give the people what they want a little bit more-a
You don't know the score, what the hell you comin here for?
Whip that ass like grandpa used to do and leave it sore
It's the hardcore, take your whole hood to war
It's time for all the bitch ass niggas to hit the door
Go home and get your pen and brush up on your metaphors
It's the forty musketeer cutting that ass up with swords
You be the prey, I'll be the predator
Bring the feather to that ass so niggas call me Thor

[Chorus]
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em. Hit 'em! (Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em (Ha-ha, Ha-ha)
Rrrr, stick 'em, ha ha ha, stick 'em
Rrrr, stick 'em. Hit 'em! Hit 'em!
