Blend Title: Be My Last Vs. C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me)
Genre: J-Pop/Hip-Hop/Rap
Artists: Utada Hikaru & The Wu-Tang Clan
Albums Involved: Ultra Blue (Hikki, 2006), Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (Wu-Tang Clan, 1993)
Mixer: Carlo (yours truly)
Comments: Be My Last is my favorite Hikki track in terms of being heartbreakingly sobering, if you know what I mean, and I recently almost kicked myself for not yet having paired it with quite arguably the most legendary introspective rap song ever recorded in C.R.E.A.M. The product is Hikki singing about how she wishes for hard times to end while Raekwon and Inspectah Deck rap about topics including growing up with no father, resorting to drug dealing, being arrested and jailed, and emerging with a new view of society, while Method Man helps with the chorus.
Warning: References to drug use, drug dealing, and robbery, plus profanity (this is the clean version, though)

Original Lyrics

1st Verse - Utada
Kaa-san doushite
Sodateta mono made
Jibun de kowasa nakya nara nai hi ga kuru no?

Barabara ni natta koraaju
Suterare nai no wa
Nanimo tsunage nai te
Kimi no te tsunaida toki datte...


2nd Verse - Raekwon The Chef
I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side
Staying alive was no jive
Had secondhands, Moms bounced on old man
So then we moved to Shaolin Land
A young youth, yo, rockin' the gold tooth, low goose
Only way I began to G off was drug loot
And it started it like this, son
Rollin' with this one and that one, pullin' out gats for fun
But it was just a dream for the teen, who was a fiend
Started smokin' woolies at 16
And running up in gates, and doing hits for high stakes
Making my way off fire escapes
No question I would speed for cracks and weed
The combination made my eyes bleed
No question I would flow off and try to get the dough off
Sticking up white boys in ball courts
My life got no better - same damn low sweater
Times is rough and tough like leather
Figured out I went the wrong route
So I got with a sick, tight clique and went all-out
Catchin' keys from 'cross seas
Rollin in MPV's, every week we made 40 G
Yo, brothers, respect mine, or anger the Teck 9
Chick-POW! Move from the gate now!


1st Chorus - Hikki & Method Man
Be my last, be my last, be my last
Be my last - douka kimi ga be my last...
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M, get the money - dollar, dollar bill, y'all
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M, get the money - dollar, dollar bill, y'all


3rd Verse - Inspectah Deck
It's been 22 long hard years and still strugglin'
Survival got me buggin, but I'm alive on arrival
I peep at the shape of the streets
And stay awake to the ways of the world 'cause s**t is deep
A man with a dream with plans to make cream
Which failed - I went to jail at the age of 15
A young buck sellin' drugs and such who never had much
Trying to get a clutch of what I could not touch
The court played me short, now I face incarceration
Pacin', knowin' upstate's my destination
Handcuffed in back of a bus, 40 of us
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough
But as the world turned I learned life is hell
Living in the world no different from a cell
Everyday I 'scape from Jakes givin' chase,
Sellin' base, smokin' bones in the staircase
Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess
I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed
But I'm still depressed, and I ask, "What's it worth?"
Ready to give up, so I seek the Old Earth
Who explained working hard may help you maintain
To learn to overcome the heartaches and pain
We got stickup kids, corrupt cops, and crack rocks
And stray shots, all on the block that stays hot
Leave it up to me while I be living proof
To kick the truth to the young black youth
But shorty's running wild smokin' sess, drinkin' beer
And ain't trying to hear what I'm kickin' in his ear
Neglected for now, but yo, it gots to be accepted
That what? That life is hectic


4th Verse - Hikki
Nare nai doushi de yoku ganbatta ne
Machigatta koi wo shita kedo
Machigai dewa nakatta

Nanimo tsukame nai te
Yumemiteta no wa doko made?


2nd Chorus - Hikki
With my hands, with my hands, with my hands
With my hands watashi no te de be my last

5th Verse - Hikki
Itsuka musubareru yori
Konya ichijikan aitai - nanimo tsunage nai te
Otona butteta no wa dare?


3rd Chorus/Outro - Hikki & Method Man
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M, get the money - dollar, dollar bill, y'all
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M, get the money - dollar, dollar bill, y'all

Be my last, be my last, be my last
Be my last - douka kimi ga be my last...
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M, get the money - dollar, dollar bill, y'all
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M, get the money - dollar, dollar bill, y'all, yeah

1st Verse - Utada
Mom, why is that
The things we were brought up with
Are destroyed by ourselves, as the days keep coming?

The collage breaks into pieces
But it?s not thrown away
There?s nothing in my hands
Even when you?re holding them...


2nd Verse - Raekwon The Chef
I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side

Be my last - please, you have to be my last...

4th Verse - Hikki
Unknown friends told me to do my best
But this love was a mistake
No, it wasn?t a mistake
There?s nothing to grasp with my hands...
How far will this dream go?


2nd Chorus - Hikki
With my hands, with my hands, with my hands
With my hands, with my hands, be my last

5th Verse - Hikki
Rather than being together some day,
I would be with you tonight, just for a hour
Who is the adult?
Whose connected hand is still empty?


3rd Chorus/Outro - Hikki & Method Man
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M, get the money - dollar, dollar bill, y'all
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M, get the money - dollar, dollar bill, y'all

Be my last, be my last, be my last
Be my last - douka kimi ga be my last...
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M, get the money - dollar, dollar bill, y'all
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M, get the money - dollar, dollar bill, y'all, yeah
