Lyrics: Heltah Skeltah. Nocturnal. Understand.


[Rock] Undastand
[Ruck] Heltah Skeltah only mean war, undastand
[Rock] The war's with everything outside your door, undastand
[Ruck] He be R-O, I be R-U, undastand
[both] It can happen to you

[Verse One: Ruck]

Heltah Skeltah start stormin
Ya up for dreamin it's mornin, I'm warnin
People who jeal my name ring bells like a doorman
A warrant, for the arrest of a militant menace
Who serve heads like tennis with words that diminish
bust the scrimmage, I call the high post play
Dish off to the center fo' da quick lay
Slay, anybody come in my lane
Gets blown out the frame by the Flipster and lames, look
Who is this gettin swift with this pugilist
equipped with the lyrical gift to flip scripts
People duck sick (what?) don't wanna touch with that ruff [shit]
that Ruck kick, break boys bones like Roy Jones
decoys roam, but they can't mess with my people
Hey you stepped to the Ruckus recognize that I be lethal
My gats spits at wack [niggaz] blacks get, tactics
Make it hard for any infiltrator to attack this

[both] Undastand
[Rock] Heltah Skeltah only mean war, undastand
[Ruck] The war's with everything outside your door, undastand
[Rock] I be R-O, he be R-U, undastand
[both] It can happen to you

[Rock] Undastand
[Ruck] Heltah Skeltah only mean war, undastand
[Rock] The war's with everything outside your door, undastand
[Ruck] He be R-O, I be R-U, undastand
[both] It can happen to you

[Verse Two: Rock]

I really think I oughta tell ya, before I have to belt ya
I make [shit] so hot boy the heat might even swelter
or melt ya, I nailed ya, [nigga] tried to yell but he felt the
shell now in hell wondering who's Heltah Skeltah
Sparsky and Dutch, Ruck and, Rock see
We gets buckWILD on your block and harass the cops
No diggy, my head's hot, scream loud and clear
Watch the red dot, move a muscle boy you bed' not
See the last two figures they can't describe me
Military Punisher Rock M.P.
Watch, the, nine millimeter brain better
You won't be beefin and your heart won't be beatin either
Either you're real or I hate you I break you
like glass *shatters* the bullet brings it to dat ass
Bastard, you talk faster, my gun buck faster
I jet, faster the next L sparked

[Rock] Undastand
[Ruck] Heltah Skeltah only mean war, undastand
[Rock] The war's with everything outside your door, undastand
[Ruck] He be R-O, I be R-U, undastand
[both] It can happen to you

[Verse Three: Ruck, Rock]

Undastand in the midst of utter confusion I got sumpin for stars
Frontin in cars and bars when I lace you with my gym star
Recognize real never the rap that's rungy
But my (pow) make yo' [shit] snap like bungee
Once we, unite, like I'm Martin Luther
I'm startin to shoot the people messin wit my future
So who's the, wiggy that wanna test me and address me
Just to try an impress me them people come and stress me

Undastand, to be the man ain't even the plan
But stand in my way and get crushed under sand
So guard your backs, or matter fact guard your naps on
down til we U, click your heels times and ahh
I'm at the door bringin war to your town
It's the Rock, now you gotta Get Away like Bobby Brown
I get down, punk gets pounded like fractions
Worlds get blown when Ruck and Rock start overreactin

[Rock] Undastand
[Ruck] Heltah Skeltah only mean war, undastand
[Rock] The war's with everything outside your door, undastand
[Ruck] He be R-O, I be R-U, undastand
[both] It can happen to you

[Ruck] Undastand
[Rock] Heltah Skeltah only mean war, undastand
[Ruck] The war's with everything outside your door, undastand
[Rock] I be R-O, he be R-U, undastand
[both] It can happen to you

[Rock]
Undastand, or you catch the back hand or the Timberland
Undastand, undastand or your catch the back hand or the Timberland
Undastand, or you catch the back hand
Timberland, or the back hand if you don't undastand
Undastand, undastand, undastand... Heltah Skeltah
