Ha, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Yo, straight from the wilds of The Bronx, it's Buckwild, 
Ya know I'm sayin'? 
And that kid Sadat X born king, doin' my thing 
Know I'm sayin'? I let ya know how it is in my lifestyle everyday 

Lately yo, I been walkin' tightropes 
It's an adventure everyday as I walk down the block 
Quiet bald head is like a bad motherfucker 
All charged up from Madison Ave. 
I'm up on the stage if you read the front page 
Give me the ol' school mic with a cord 
I'll stand on the table, give a f*ck about a label 
Now, we all can't brawl, we all can't brawl 
It'll be your downfall when you're goin' like this 
Is it the cash or the hash from my stash that compels you? 
Gas kids throw me but my crew bring me back 
They stay on my back so I don't act like all a dat 

Now all these niggas carry on like they think they all a dat 
They think they all a dat, they think they all a dat 
Now all these niggas carry on when they think they all a dat 
They think they all a dat, they think they all a dat 

Late one night, fifty-fifth outpost 
Chicken head watchin' to see who she can catch 
She got a man, I can tell 'cause the action in her eyes 
Ain't nervous, a young sassy thing 
She call me a playa, standin' on the corner with her whole dime crew 
I'm ridin' down the block with her girlfriend 
In the next nigga's car, lookin' like a star 
Shades, blackness, packed his whole damn frame
Ya got to be down to starts about the booty 
'Cause Sonny Lamb packs the wham 
It's all good, yeah it's all good 
See it attracts kids that are sweater 
A nigga like me'll be the first to forget 
So now she all mad, bringin' drama to the crib 
Go ahead, chicken head, wit the funk 
You get played like trash if you act like you'd always have and you 
Always will 
Chicken heads is only good for a thrill 

Yo yo, yo they think they all a dat, they think they all a dat 
All these bitches carry on when they think they all a dat 
They think they all a dat, they think they all a dat 

Now my cheques jam and I waited all damn week 
And if I flip em the bad guy, you wonder why 
When the corner officers and nobody can call me back 
And everybody claims to know nothin' 
And these is the peoples that's down wit me 
Supposedly, lays on my side, yeah right 
They let a nigga die in the night if you let em 
You can get wild, flip, go grab the mask 
But it damn sure slow-up the cash 'cause I know 
Ya be a menace to society, still waitin' for the dough 
The thinkin' man is the one with the plan 
Plant his seeds first then be ready to burst 
It's like that, huh? My name is X from the hot blocks of Harlem 
Take it personally when you try to stop my stardom 
Use to be mild, find myself gettin' wild 
Got to slow down for my girl and my child 
'Cause I love life and I gots ta live it 
And every time I get on stage I'ma move somethin' 
And you can never say the X didn't hit ya 
Ayo, I put it on ya, but first I warn ya 
This ain't no average skit, this is a hit 
More than you hit, better than your best shit 
Better than your man's shit, better than his cousin's shit 
Better than your whole block, buck once and then ya come wit that nons

Aight, hey Buck, when you bring what you bring to the game and when I bring 
What I bring to the game, it's dangerous that I can't even call it. 
But we gonna end it off like this, 
Ya know I'm sayin'? 
On some Bronx town shit, check it out 

The big X has spoken, courtesy of Buck 
A Bronx hoe-down similar to the showdown 
Won't you place a bet on ya man 
You know my style and you know where I stand 
I'ma leave you on wit the real for right now 
Peace to Brand Nubian, Now Rule and Buckwild 
But right now, peep the master of the head nod 
Hit New York harder and smarter, thieves attack, now stay back 
Tainted styles don't pass the grade 
A lotta kids are slidin', just ridin' on the wave 
A lotta kids are slidin', just ridin' on the wave 
A lotta kids are slidin', just ridin' on the wave 

Yo, all these niggas think they hard when they think they all a dat 
They think they all a dat, they think they all a dat 
All these bitches act like sluts when they think they all a dat 
They think they all a dat, they think they all a dat 
Now all these fraud niggas are bitches when they think they all a dat 
They think they all a dat, they think they all a dat 
F*ck dem niggas out there who think they all a dat 
They think they all a dat, they thunk they all a dat 
F*ck dem niggas, f*ck dem bitches 
F*ck dem fraud ass, motherfuckers 
Fake ass niggas 
Ha!
