About No Escapin' This

"No Escapin' This" is the first single from Take It or Squeeze It, a 2001 album by East Coast hip hop group The Beatnuts. It was released by Loud Records in 2001 in both 12 inch and CD format. The song is produced by The Beatnuts and features braggadocious raps by Juju and Psycho Les, as well as ad libs performed by Greg Nice and a chorus performed by Claudette Sierra. The track's beat samples "A Little Fugue for You and Me" by Enoch Light. The song's refrain contains a vocal sample from Psycho Les' verse on "Off the Books" by The Beatnuts. "No Escapin' This" is the only single from Take It or Squeeze It to chart, but it failed to appear on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Rhythmic Top 40 like prior singles. It reached #56 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks charts and #12 on the Hot Rap Singles chart, though, because of its "party and bullshit formula" and "percussive choral loop". Its popularity landed it on two Beatnuts hits compilations: Beatnuts Forever and Classic Nuts, Vol. 1. It can additionally be found on two 2001 hip hop compilations: Lovin' It: The Cream of R&B & UK Garage and Wrap It Up. Its music video was directed by Nzingha Stewart.

No escaping this

Oh, oh, oh! 2 G's mother, uh!
The Beatnuts y'all, uh!
Uh, oh! Juju, Psycho Les, uh, oh!
Turn it out oh, oh my god oh!
Oh, oh, it's the hardcore be	-boy shit!
Hard to the core motherfucker, no keyboard shit!

Aiyyo the Nuts landed, so pack it up
Pass the mic to big Psych, the manufacturer
The architect, bringing you the art of wreck
You used to hate my click, now you want a part of it
We coming with more hits that funk like Parliament
Comparing me to another's going to lead to an argument
The heat we fry you with, straight from the armory
Guerilla army, we kill tracks in harmony
My Nut orchestra blowing fuses
Your amp can't hold this music, it's booming
I'm in my truck cruising, 97 tuned in
The latest news is the Nuts new album is ruling
Y'all vs. the Nuts, you have a big chance of losing
(There's no escaping this) Or confronting the union
So stop fooling yourself, and feel these Nuts
Cause (No one's ready to deal with us) What?

(No escaping this) 
(No escaping this) 
(No escaping this) 
"No one's ready to deal with us"

Don't be humble, it's better to pull
Belive you eligible, get left like a vegetable
Man it's crazy and there's no escape
It's turned into a police state
The average cat don't even know his fate
Walking round like he hurting something
And there's nothing that he got to say that's even worth discussing
Listen to me, it's better to be
Lying dead with honor, soldier, than to never be free
Young niggas out here losing they dads
In the battle of the son of the fags
Every other country burning the flag
Don't let history repeat itself
That's how the devil plan to keep his wealth and feed himself
I'm the New York power hitter
Hit the devil in the fucking shitter
Take his manhood and all his glitter
Got guns ready to bust
"No one's ready to deal with us"

(No escaping this)
(No escaping this)
(No escaping this)
(No escaping this)
(No escaping this)
(No escaping this)
(No escaping this)
"No one's ready to deal with us"

 Can't get away, there's no escaping this!
 Surrender now, come out with your hands in the air

Oh, no! Turn it out oh!
Oh my God oh! Turn it out oh! 
Oh my God oh! Turn it out oh! 
Oh my God oh! Turn it out oh! 
Oh my God oh! Turn it out oh! 

Juju, rockin on rockin on
Psycho Les, rockin on, rockin on
Psycho Les, rockin on, rockin on
Psycho Les, rockin on, rockin on
Psycho Les, rockin on, rockin on

 "Corona in the house" "Throw your hands up!" 
 "Corona in the house" "Throw your hands up!" 
 "Corona in the house" "Throw your hands up!" 
 "Corona in the house" "Throw your hands up!"
