    Dirty MEF

    by: Method Man

    Expect the unexpected, motherfucker, let's go, come on
    Yeah, M-E-F, hahahaha, special guest
    (Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck)
    Hahahaha.. yeah..
    Yo, you don't wanna ride with Dirt, you still stuck in coach
    You don't wanna fly in first, yo, I can spit
    One verse, and leave in a new Benz-er
    Take a trip down south and put some hoes to work, you hear me
    Dirt McGirt, you niggaz gon' respect it
    I'm drunk and crunk so don't come in my direction
    I'm ready to thump, and get the whole crew arrested
    Bail 'em out, and laugh about it in Texas, yo
    And get with Rome, down in Caki-Lac
    And hit the spot, in the hood where the happenings at
    Where the shootin' and the fightings and the stabbings at
    Where the Lincolns and the Chevys and the Cadi's at, shit
    Them down south niggaz been loved Dirt
    Take a shot to the head, if you been through the worse
    Show respect to your niggaz, who been doin' it first
    And be comin' with that shit, I'm just doin' the worse
    Yo, you don't wanna ride with Dirt, you still stuck in coach
    You don't wanna fly in first, yo, I can spit
    (Yo, you don't wanna ride with Meth, we still sniffing coke
    Even if you tried your best, yo, I can spit)
    Yeah, damn, I'm just like Dirt in the booth
    I'm the truth, I don't need to go to church in a suit
    Each verse is the proof, I drink a 100 Proof
    Cop searching the coup, I got some herb in my boot
    When Wu is coming through, the outcome: critical
    Fucking with this style, the outcome: get physical
    Meth get lyrical, and y'all can get my genitals
    Don't forget them aid essentials, vitamins & minerals
    Heh, ya'meen, I'm taking one for the team
    Like Martin Luther King, taking one for a dream
    I'm dope, to many fiends, live by many means
    If you don't stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything
    That's real shit, let's get this money real quick
    Dirt Dog, I'm feeling this, but I'd rather feel rich
    I mean filthy rich, I'm corporate now
    Big Meth, the label's Def, that's why I talk so loud, nigga
    Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
