[Treach] 
I want to see y'all who want to plan with me 
Wave your hands across the land if we family 
Say hot damn hot damn we want to jamboree 
This is for my peeps here I stand for you cause you stand for me 

[Chorus]

I know I jam  I know I jam jam while oh damn why don't you Jamboree for me? 
Yes  Indeed 

[Treach] 
Kaboom kaboom the platoon came on in eight limbs and timbs 
Broke rims smoked sims whoop dogs with bent rims 
For the real and the raw from whoo'd up with the law 
I never kill for the thrill but I cut for the cars 
Smokin' budda with a hoota' get better prices from looters 
Shake my shell with the shooters leed a luga with duga 
Some say modeling and acting mean treach is selling 
(man he's Sellin') 
While I'm yelling first a felon with my gat at ya melon (BOOYAH) 
Hella heated, I'm too ill for them to beat it 
We the most cheated most weeded most needed 
You best believe it 
Lets take the tapes jam for me, stand for me 
Your'e damned to be without the jamboree 

[Chorus 1x] 

[Vinnie] 
We've put it down since the days of high school 
and everywhere we Mark we rule 
Naughty's about to raise our stock 
And we didn't come to brag about what we got nigga 
We came to rock 
We blew the spot taking the streets to pac 
You'd be thug-style for a while (?then cold rolled our jock?) 
Using the last few years as our evidence 
Niggas been tryin' to duplicate the mixture ever since 
You live in value reprimanding 
If you challenge me I guarantee 
When we finish I'll be the last man standing 
F*ck what you heard naughty is forever in demand when 
Kay drop tracks all the party people jammin' 

[Treach] 
I want to see y'all who want to plan with me 
Wave your hands across the land if we family 
Say hot-damn hot-damn we want to jamboree 
This is for my peeps here I stand for you cause you stand for me 

[Chorus 1x] 

[Treach] 
I ask the thugs who have mercy in these days is dirty 
I'm still sturdy and flirty till my derby for jersey 
The funk is pass-booted lights-camera-shoot it 
I just did it to do it that's why I suit it and boot it 
Here's the graphic niggas is just tattered and added 
Orgy's are automatic from back-traffic to addicts 
Crush the cabbage straight from the savage to lavish 
We rip those who rat it that's why your click had it 
(?dog?) cats to cuchies for me its lootchie then hootchies 
Cause we'll drop a cuzzie that leaves your whole label woozy 
And shitty and dizzy because your whole city miss me 
And whip out they titties 
And from they kiddies throw me 50's in bundles of 100's 
And make every hater want it 
Drunk and blunt it knock onto the hottest nigga comin' 
Kay scratch and cut ya no matta what you make or 
want to come and touch her the punani rusher like Usher 

[Chorus 2x to fade] 
[Zhane] 
(Jam On It) (Jam-Jam-Jam) (Jam-Jam-Jam) (Jam On It)
