Let’s Take It Back Lyrics by J Dilla

Ruff Draft

2003

[Intro: Dankery Harv & J Dilla]
Yeah (Yeah)
What's the deal? (What's the deal?)
Y'all know what this is (Y'all know what this is)
It's McNasty (It's McNasty)
Get ready for my nigga Dilla (Get ready for my nigga Dilla)
Holla (Holla)
I had a dream about my man last night
And his name is…
Frank-N-Dank, that's what's up
The Roots crew, that's what's up
Bus-a-Bus, that's what's up
Pete, C.L., that's what's up

[Chorus: J Dilla]
That's all, that's what's up
My niggas keep it ghe-tto with the plastic cups
It's the return, so turn it up
It's gettin' hot in hurr, we burnin' up

[Verse: J Dilla]
Let's go, yup, another episode
Fucked up lettin' Dil' get in the do'
I'm lettin' you know, I'm like The Professional
Makin' my hits, collectin' my dough
I'm so extra, so next to blow
So fly get pest control
No joke, when it comes to the flow it's nasty
Couldn't touch it with a 100 foot pole (Yeah)
I stay hustlin' Joe, I'm Errol Flynn
And out in Berlin countin' bundles of Cho
You gotta love it, dawg, you can't beat it
Get your bitch, she all on Jay Dee dick

[Chorus: J Dilla]
'Cause that's what's up
My niggas keep it ghe-tto with the plastic cups
Real ghe-tto with the plastic cups
Keep it ghe-tto with the plastic cups

[Outro: Dankery Harv, J Dilla & Frank Nitt]
"Y'all, niggas, know y'all outta there (Yeah)
Come on with the real—"
"It's all live—" (Live with it)
"Welcome to the D, baby—"
("Let's take it baaack")
"Come wit' it" (Yeah)
"Do it again" (Let's do it)
"Right now"
"R for the ruff, rugged, and raw way
This nigga gets the game but he don't play
D— Detroit"
("Let's take it back")
"Who got your city on lock?"
"Mc— McNasty, ain't it? Brand new—"
