Natural Elements - “N.E. Thang”
[Emcee(s): L-Swift, A-Butta, and Mr. Voodoo]
[Producer(s): DJ Mayhem]
[Intro: L-Swift]
Yo, yo. Aight, yeah, word, we’re fully loaded now. Word, uh, NE, we’re fully loaded now. Word (Word up). Shhh… she like us, man. Word up, yeah, word up, yo, yo, yo
[Verse 1: L-Swift]
I spit
A gem, star bent in the bar, so fuck with me
I went far, sensitive scars and buck fifties
I might send ten in your car—get touched quickly
My night lens finish you, pa. I puff sensi
But I could still see what you see, know what you know, what?
I ain’t trying to be what you be. I told a ho, yo
I switch like whips in lanes, pick a dame
Used to go to church, but now she got whips and chains
Different games, pick a brain like a neurosurgeon
Yo, I found what I need, you go searching desolate places
Got your lawyer repping my cases, yo
I’m on your money like president faces, oh
This shit ain’t right ‘til the Element lace it fo’ sho’
It ain’t a night ‘til we tell ‘em it’s blazing
For shows, I’m hellraising like the world gonna blow up. You won’t come
But your girl gonna show up, then we pull her on
Stage like she part of the show. Man, we put her on
Tape—she was starving to go—and then the bitch said
“Why am I so fly?” “I don’t know, but…”
“Why am I so high?” “It’s the endo—what?”
[Hook (Overlapped with Interlude): Mr. Voodoo and (L-Swift)]
What?
You thought we wasn’t coming out? (It’s an NE thing, you know?) Y’all niggas
Need to stop dumbing out. (It’s an NE thing, you hear?) Get that
Dick out your mouth, yo. (It’s an NE thing, you know?) You need
To open up your ears. (It’s an NE thing, you hear?) We’ve been
Doing this for years, son. (It’s an NE thing, you know?) We ain’t
Going nowhere. (It’s an NE thing, you hear?) I
Know y’all’ve been waiting. (It’s an NE thing, you know?) You need
To stop the fucking hate. (It’s an NE thing)
[Interlude (Overlapped with Hook): A-Butta]
Yo, yo, I’m just finally getting warm now. Finally getting warm now
[Verse 2: A-Butta]
Yo, we blaze hash
And pass crazy glasses and V8 Splash. See me
Trashed in the E-Class with weed stashed. My lazy
Ass blasted—send me shots of the vodka. Henny
Got my mind proper. Went from “lend me a dollar” to Fendi
And Prada, semi-five gun with the clip in. Stop
Bullshitting, let me pop one of them bitches (Yo, which)
(One, A?) The one with the lingerie on, Chaka
Khan, don liaisons to Marvin Gaye songs (Word?)
Sex appeal—fucking with me? We make bonds (What?)
Record deal plus a degree from St. John’s, for real
When it come to the weed, I stay gone, lay on
Silk, plus Milk like Audio Two. Gave me head
Plus she brought me the brew. Got chickens laying
Eggs in the room, and I’m corny, boo. On digi
Cameras, amateur videos with silly hoes
Blowing philly slow, yo. I don’t really know, word

Know y’all’ve been waiting. (It’s an NE thing, you know?) You need
To stop the fucking hate. (It’s an NE thing)
[Verse 3: Mr. Voodoo]
Mr. Voo seizes mics, freezes in ice
Rappers like he just nice, I get more love than Jesus Christ
Ain’t no comic relief tonight—only drama for the
Phony karma. I have sheath and knife, causing grief and strife
Some may feel me, end up in a box with white
Lilies. Whoever wanna beef tonight is quite silly
My flows burn like phillies, my raps are tight, niggas got
Jimmies, but they’re so femme, you’d swear they were hermaphrodites
Keep the clapper tight, I don’t wage war, I wage shellfare
Got so much public support, you’d think I was on welfare
Who the hell care what you pack, how much dollars you stack?
I’ma holler, “You wack.” This Shakespearian solilo-
-quy’s like bottles of crack, the way I’m luring fiends
I should receive more green than European nobility. Agu
Got it locked tight, always rock right, yo
I’m causing chickenheads to have cockfights
