I can tear shit up y'all, that's my style - These are the Days Of Wild' (Appreciation Thread)

This song has fastly become one of my all-time faves.bow Right up there with Adore (for me anyway) Such a great track with his best attempt at rap...like ever! I personally didnt really believe the hype of that song from the org (yes u may throw something at me) But I was amazed by its funkyness eek and that hook is brilliant also. I know the song is live, but is there a studio version available anywhere? and if so is it any good?....even tho I dought it would be better nod and it sounds like hes having a dig at rap music is he?



Break down! Huh, this is a bust (Hold onto your wigs!)
All U sorry motherfuckers up against the wall
If U don't play, bite the dust
Cuz in a couple of simple fuckin' phrases
I'm gonna hip U 2 the fuckin' plays of
The brand new mad style - y'all say!
(These are the days of wild)
Hell yeah!

(Hold onto your wigs!) {x2}

Pop guns and weed? Brother please!
We're 2 wise 4 nonsense
The other 90's was better suited 4 that biz
Back when Dick was fuckin' Liz
Before soda pop had fizz
Don't blame it on your jockstrap full of jizz
Mentality so insane
I got a Tech-9 2 and it's called my brain
Shoot another brother? Not 2day
Death from envy is the only way
I can tear shit up y'all, that's my style
These are the days of wild - put'em up!

(Hold onto your wigs!)
These are the days of wild
(Hold onto your wigs!)
These are the days of wild

Hooker, bitch and ho, I don't think so
I only knew one and never told her though
I thought about it many times (Diss me?)
That's the kind of shit 2 make U check your mind
Is your blood type the type that flows?
Is your blood type the type just stereo?
A woman every day should be thanked
Not disrespected, not raped or spanked
And if a woman ever said I did
She's a motherfuckin' liar and I'm a set-up kid
I'ma tear shit up y'all, that's my style
These are the days of wild!

(Hold onto your wigs!)
These are the days of wild
(Hold onto your wigs!)
Oh oh oh, by the way, I play bass guitar!
(Wild)
These are the days {x2}
(Wild)
These are the days of wild

Tennis shoes and caps, now that's phat
Up until the day another wanna laugh behind your back
Sayin' we all look the same
God bless America, home of the brave
I'd rather dress 2 make a woman stare
I'm puttin' on somethin' that another won't dare
It's a freezer burn compared 2 cool
If U still got loot, then who's the fool?
Everybody wanna take the stand
Mind your own motherfucker, let a man be a man
I'ma tear shit up y'all, that's my style
These are the days of wild - put'em up!

(Hold onto your wigs!)
These are the days of wild
(Hold onto your wigs!)
These are the days of wild


Thanks for reading guys wink

classic song! nod the one from crystal ball isn't my fave though. all the other live versions are better. especially the one from glam slam, LA, 6/26/94 headbang. "people ask me everywhere, is that really all your hair?" dancing jig music the studio versions are decent as well wink.

my all time favorite song and funky as all hell!!
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

after prince i was sold with this. Cooler than cooler than cool. The Original 3121. Grindin!Oh yes - blatant dig at the ganstas considering Doggystyle appeared the year previous - maybe like Dead On It in the light (or dark) of Public Enemy

Days Of Wild - always wondered why this wasn't on the Exodus album...would have fitted perfectly or even opened in place of Get Wild...not that I don't like Get Wild

anyone else think the 'Days Of Wild' were just the mid 90's era or anything since the early 90's up until now?
This is what it's like in the dream factory...
