Sho Ya Right! Lyrics

Hey, hey, stay sharp as fuck
Tell 'em, get that right and straighten that up
Fat Face, the man of hundred grand
Work the mic with precise precision, knahmsayin'?

At 36, on the bean, come clean
I'll bring you the whole thing for 18
They look to Back for the word on the street
You see him smilin', count eight gold teeth

You see it, he keep the brim broke slightly
Killin' 'em with the one that roll tightly
Floppin' in the M-6 deuce
The A-T go and then he do too

Baby, I tell it like it T I S
I'll stand right here and sho' stop ya career
Call him, H2O, ice-cold water
Just like that there, in that particular order

Uhh, school these young Gs on the concrete
Fall off and be back on in one week
He keep his clothes crease crisp out the cleaners
Did court subpoenas on some simple misdemeanors

They ain't got nothin' on me
'Cuz he threw my light right not to be
Wham, uhh, wham, see 'em hittin' me
Y'all hold it down, I'll be back through here in a minute

(Sho ya right)
We serve it raw or ready to chop
(Sho ya right)
You get every damn gram straight dropped
(Sho ya right)

Cook chickens, no sizzle, no pop
(Sho ya right)
Or better, when you ready to shop
(Sho ya right)

We serve it raw or ready to chop
(Sho ya right)
You get every damn gram straight dropped
(Sho ya right)

Cook chickens, no sizzle, no pop
(Sho ya right)
Or better, when you ready to shop
(Sho ya right)

We old school, walk the dog out the yard
We play the curse, serve it hard on the 'vard
You know the number 'fore ya even went seen shorty
The automatic beast, keep him off me

Shit, holla at me, y'all know ya know me
Ya drunk with them 1600 DSOPs
(Be dat)
We bake bread by the loaf
Smoke ya dro down to a roach

Let 'em know, this here, fisher from the do'
Ya already know, exactly how it goes
SWAT's in trees, DF one G, da pure emcee
What's happenin'? What's happenin'? What's happenin'?

Organ No-I-Z, keep ya motherf*** trunk valid
Tell 'em, it's goin' down this evening
Keep it jumpin' like Sunday, go to meeting
Uh, uh, it don't stop, it don't quit
It get down to the nitty-grit

That brand new out the box
I ain't in them, swear to make 'em call the cops
I walk a path, play the cut, lil' girl shake her butt
Ay, ay, ay, now party people, if ya wit me, say

(Sho ya right)
We serve it raw or ready to chop
(Sho ya right)
You get every damn gram straight dropped
(Sho ya right)

Cook chickens, no sizzle, no pop
(Sho ya right)
Or better, when you ready to shop
(Sho ya right)

We serve it raw or ready to chop
(Sho ya right)
You get every damn gram straight dropped
(Sho ya right)

Cook chickens, no sizzle, no pop
(Sho ya right)
Or better, when you ready to shop
(Sho ya right)

Sho ya right
Sho ya right
Sho ya right

1. Backbone is a late-80s hardcore band from Worcester, MA. Their 1995 reunion show led to frontman Aaron Bedard being asked to join Bane.

2. One of the lesser-known affiliates of the rap outfit known as the Dungeon Family. Backbone is based in Atlanta, GA.

Born and bred in the S.W.A.T.S. section of Atlanta, Backbone connected with the other members of the Dungeon Family around 1990. Led by producers Organized Noize and rap crews Outkast and Goodie Mob, the Georgia-based collective ushered in the modern day version of Southern hip-hop with the 1993 release of Outkast's "Player's Ball" single.

Since then, Backbone has worked with Outkast on their third and fourth albums, as well as with Goodie Mob on their second and third releases. He toured with the Mob in support of their Still Standing album in 1998, which took him overseas.

Like much of Goodie Mob's material, Backbone's music focuses on political commentary informed by the experience of being a young black male raised in the racially charged South.

"We being black men from the ages of 16 to 25, most of us don't understand that the game [of life in America] is set up to destroy us, literally," he said. "If you're going to be out in the streets, like they say when you're little, look both ways before you cross so you don't get hit. You've got to respect this game before you get in it. You've got to be cautious and read the street signs. I want to go into the depths of the community and reach the youngest of the Gs. I want them to realize that the game is a set-up and we're losing."


1. Backbone is a short lived band featuring Bill Kreutzmann of the grateful dead. They released one album titled "Backbone" in 1998. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
