Ku-ji simply means “nine syllables”, and refers to a variety of mantras that consist of nine syllables. The syllables used in kuji are numerous, especially within the realm of mikkyo (Japanese esoteric Buddhism). The kuji most often referred to is of Taoist origin, not Buddhist. There is no record of the kuji in any of the Shingon or Tendai records that were brought back from China. The use of kuji is largely a layman’s practice, and not seen in the orthodox Buddhist traditions. It is found extensively in Shugendō, the ascetic mountain tradition of Japan, and ryobu Shinto which is the result of blending Buddhist, and Shinto beliefs.
The kuji are first introduced in the Taoist text Baopuzi (抱朴子) a poem written by Ge Hong c.280-340 ADE). In it he introduces the kuji in chapter 17 titled DengShe/登涉 (Climbing [mountains] and crossing rivers) as a prayer to the six Jia (generals of yang), ancient Taoist gods. in Daoist Magic, the Chia Spirit Generals are powerful celestial guardians and part of Tammon-Ten's (Vaiśravaṇa), The God of the North, Celestial Thunder Court.
Oh, oh, oh you pretty, pretty baby!
Cause I'm about to take you home with me tonight, girl!
High heels and a trench coat,
Hotter than a steamboat sailing on a summer day,
Must say, you're the baddest thing I've seen, girl!
When you walked to my front door,
My neck broke for real... turn around and let me see!
What you're working with, ?
Bridge:
So come on over here, please don't make me wait too long!
I'm not serving you, so many things I wanna do!
You're like, so hurry up and let me in!
Darling, I can't wait, it's too late,
But I'm gonna make you mine tonight!
Chorus:
You gonna be mine tonight,
I'm gonna sign my name upon it!
You gonna be mine tonight,
Cause when I finish I'm on it!
You gonna be mine tonight,
Oh, my, oh my!
Cause I'm about to cop, cop, copyright that body, yeah!
Cause I'm about to cop, cop, copyright that body, yeah!
You make me so proud of myself when I look you, you,
I'm about to put it on you, let me know if you can take that!
I've bet my last hundred bill on it,
Then take you for a ride with a thrill on it,
Better than Maybach with the wheels on it,
Put you to sleep, wake up, when you still want it!
Bridge:
So come on over here, please don't make me wait too long!

But I'm gonna make you mine tonight!
Chorus:
