• Nina Blackburn : How about when you're making love?

  Tasty Taste , Ice Cold , Tone Def : Nah!

  Tone Def : The next thing you know, she askin' you for money and shit.

  Ice Cold : Exactly. I mean, you know, the best thing, if you think you're the kind of motherfucker that's predisposed to be smilin' and shit, you best to kick that shit doggie-style.

  Tasty Taste : Pow!

  Ice Cold : You know, then you can go in from behind, right? And you don't have to worry about her seein' you and shit.

• Tone Def : The first thing you gotta do is put this piece of paper in here to keep the hole tight, because nobody likes a sloppy hole. You get it in there. You'd be slippin' out if you don't have that in there. You know, that pisses everybody off, especially the ladies.

  Tone Def : How long you been on welfare?

• Tone Def : Spiritually - it feels good as a motherfucka.

• Nina Blackburn : In the song lyrics, and I'm quoting: "He'll rip you off, He'll take your money, Make you work for free, Though you might scoff, It isn't funny, He's the devil, see."

  Nina Blackburn , Ice Cold , Tasty Taste : "Kill Whitey."

  Ice Cold : Right. Now how can you listen to that and think we're talkin' about killin' all white people?

  Tone Def : Fact. We was talkin' about one specific Whitey.

  Tasty Taste : Whitey DeLuca, our ex-manager. He ripped us off for 70 Gs.

  Ice Cold : Right, you know, and Whitey DeLuca wasn't even white. He was - he was Italian. You know, he was one of them olive-complected motherfuckers, you know.

• Tone Def : Drop the bomb on that nigga, man.

  Tasty Taste : Flying mission!

• Tone Def : You niggas goin' to fight or fuck?
