[Intro: Jamal]
Yeah, it's the motherfuckin' 1993
Illegal's in the motherfuckin' house
Breakin' new motherfuckin' ground

[Chorus: Illegal]
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut? (Buck, buck)
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut? (Buck, buck)
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut?
I asked you how you want it, where you want it, head or gut?

[Verse 1: Jamal]
As I cold rip shit, n***as wanna talk shit
But it's a clip, that goes up in the 9, a double M, bitch
So if you really wanna flow, n***a, come prepared
I got a new tool, it go ba-boom, now you're outta here
I may be young but I'm quick to smoke a n***a
You wanna play me, G, you're playing poker with the joker, n***a
Ain't commercial, strictly hard, what you want, nut?
I'll pop your ass and then I ask ya, "head or gut?"
I'm fourteen with the wisdom on my back, duke
Breaking it down to basement parties all the way up to the roof
And don't mistake me for a punk and do your lunch
Mally's gots more juice than a Hi-C punch
What you want, n***a? How the heck you figure
With your super wack style that you could pull my trigger, n***a
Don't piss me off, G
What gave you the audacity
To try to fuck around, I'll smoke that ass, Chi-Ali
[Chorus: Illegal]
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut? (Buck, buck)
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut? (Buck, buck)
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut?
I asked you how you want it, where you want it, head or gut?

[Verse 2: Mr. Malik]
Where you want it, head or gut? It's best to keep your mouth shut
I turn your body over, I'll put it in your fucking butt
Yeah, I'm here and I'm ready to attack
Mess around and get a five-and-a-half up in that ass crack
And it's just about the right size
To rupture your nut, to make your ding-a-ling not rise
You didn't know that we was comin', it's Illegal, surprise
You got a little thing but you ain't hittin' no cut
Because it's goin' around, you can't even bust a nut
Better yet a grape, it's bad to go for, n***a
Total chaos, total hardcore, strictly for makin' papes
And now that I'm here, these fools are catchin' the vapes
But that ain't no thing, I just give 'em what they want
But for them jealous little n***as, I give 'em head or gut

[Chorus: Illegal]
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut? (Buck, buck)
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut? (Buck, buck)
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut?
I asked you how you want it, where you want it, head or gut?
[Verse 3: Jamal]
Caught your girl, n***a, I don't wanna take her, do you figure
That I don't give a damn if you're bigger, ooh yeah
I might be short in size but I'm large in skills
You wanna step? Knuckle up, n***a, put up your shield
You're bad enough to tussle with your muscles inside my hustle
I want it here, oh, yo, my knuckle bruises like a belt buckle
Holograph lets me kick ass fast
I'm droppin' n***as at first and now I'll whip ass last
I'm like a little urban savage running treacherous
A little n***a that try to step, I put his head to rest
But if he step, I moves 'em all, check the vibe, I'm not lazy
Step to M-A-double-the-L-Y G, you'll push up daisies
Check the gear that I wear, the trends that I be settin'
I rizzy rizzle wreck and now your ass is dead
So where you want it?

[Chorus: Illegal]
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut? (Buck, buck)
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut? (Buck, buck)
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut?
I asked you how you want it, where you want it, head or gut?

[Verse 4: Mr. Malik]
Official came to wreck shop and M-sharp is gettin' wreck
So mic check and all of that, inflict 'em in your back
I come correct, because it's gonna be a disaster
You best'a watch out for these Black little bastards
Legal-I, huh, or I-legal, ooh
I got the fever for the flavor of a G girl
Then baby or should I say skins maybe
I'm not a Brady but I'm takin' 'em all by the bunch
Knocking MC's out the box with a Tyson punch
Watch yourself, better yet the embrace
I'm more like popcorn now, so pop right out of my face
You don't believe me, ask my man, I don't stroll, I strut
Jump up and feel the pop, pop, pop, head or gut
[Chorus: Illegal]
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut? (Buck, buck)
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut? (Buck, buck)
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut?
I asked you how you want it, where you want it, head or gut?
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut? (Buck, buck)
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut? (Buck, buck)
Head or gut? Where you want it, head or gut?
I asked you how you want it, where you want it, head or gut?

[Outro: Mr. Malik imitates Scarface as the song ends]
It's over, true over for your career 'cause Illegal's here with the "Head or Gut"
Ooh-wee, mayne, let me tell you, taking over things in the '90s, okay?
The world is mine, the world is in my hands
But you know who we got behind this Illegal thing?
We got Dallas Austin, Kevin Wales, Erick Sermon, Left Eye, Dave
And the whole shebang
Peace and I'm outta here
