"S.C.O.M." is the fifth track on Fort Minor's We Major mixtape.
Background
"S.C.O.M." features Ryu of Styles of Beyond and Celph Titled and production by Juelz Santana.
The first mention of "S.C.O.M." came from a forum post on the Fort Minor forums by Ryu on October 22, 2005, who said he had a track with Juelz Santana. He said, "it's called S.C.O.M. you'll hear it soon". He also added about the title, "you'll know when you hear the beat"[1]
Mike Shinoda is not on vocals on this song, but is shouted out in the beginning by Ryu, when he says, "Uh, Shinoda. That's right. Ryu, Celph Titled, Demigodz, Dipset, Juelz Santana, and of course Fort Minor, let's go" before the guests spell out "F M, D E M I G O D Z, D I P S E T, S O B, G's" as the "chorus." Dipset is the nickname of the New York hip hop group The Diplomats, of which Juelz Santana is a member.
"S.C.O.M." takes its title and main guitar from "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses. In 2001, Linkin Park would sometimes cover part of the song, at varying lengths, for fun before "One Step Closer".
At the end of the song, there is a scratch/rewind effect by DJ Green Lantern, who was the host of the mixtape.
A longer version of the song was released on DJ Green Lantern's We Major EP "street" release on vinyl which contains full versions of "Spraypaint & Inkpens", "Nobody's Listening (Green Remix)", "S.C.O.M.", and "There They Go (Green Remix)". It was also released on the S.C.O.M. / Dolla / Get It / Spray Paint + Ink Pens promo vinyl by Warner Bros. in 2006, and by Apathy on the four disc compilation The Gatalog: A Collection Of Chaos in 2006.

Lyrics
Ugh, Shinoda! That's right,
Ryu, Celph Titled (yeah), Demigodz,
Dipset, Juelz Santana,
And of course, Fort Minor,
Let's go!
It's like oh, ohh, ohhh, ohhhh...
F.M. D.E.M.I.G.O.D.Z.
It's like oh, ohh, ohhh, ohhhh...
D.I.P.S.E.T. S.O.B. G's
It's like
I came from pumping 60K,
Out the trunk, switchblades,
Ziggy stuff nicknames, itchy braids, bitchmade,
Faggots, my shit's changed, my cabbage is picked man,
Rollin' twenties up like Snoop Doggy Dog's crip game,
But I'm out for the crown, housin, I'm buckin' 'em down,
Dousin' and dunkin' these fuckin punks in a bucket and bounce,
When I get up in the game beware,
Put a pimp on a hope and then say your prayers,
Got a potion so damn potent playa,
Put you on a float like a broken chair,
Yeah, you know it's a movement,
(Cracked) For the gods and goons,
(We back) You talk about gats but dont actually use 'em,
But I'm happy to do it, 'cause this is Demigodz,
Celph Titled, Ryu with Tak, Apathy stupid!
From bottom to top (I rose),
Choppin them rocks (and those),
Cockin the glock (and blow),
No more of that,
Now I just hop in the drop (and go),
To the most popular spots,
With hoes and they know (they go),
I went from pumpin' that white stuff,
To bein' up in them white clubs,
Like hey, I got dubs still pumpin that white stuff,
Plus I fuck with the white boys, skaters and bike boys,
Who may act different but the struggles alike, boy,
Shinoda know that if there's a problem I'm coming over, yo,
Quick fast in a hurry, and not be there to overdose,
And I mean that, just call if you need that,
The best of both different worlds, not often they see that...
It's like oh, ohh, ohhh, ohhhh...
F.M. D.E.M.I.G.O.D.Z.
It's like oh, ohh, ohhh, ohhhh...
D.I.P.S.E.T. S.O.B. G's
It's like
We not just rappers here, that you have to fear,
We smacking queers, murder, extortion,
Hustlin', nothin' stopin' this movement,
I swear we gettin' to the top this year,
Got your ears, all eyes on me, old school 80's guy, that's me,
Hip hop head female rappers give me dome,
That's just that hip hop head,
Flip off the feds, it's been said,
I'm out my mind to the fullest, alone in the crib buggin,
Fuckin with russian roulette with six bullets,
Won't never free my guns but fo' sho' we lettin them triggers go,
Sparkin that weapon, you's a thousand miles from me,
You far from perfection!
And that's just food for thought
I'm movin the bar, rap entrepreneur, and rap lord,
Come to the hood, I'll bring you in through that trap door,
It's Demigodz and it's Dipset, it's Doe Rakers and it's Byrd Gang
That's Ryu, Celph and Santana, the best rap singers you ever heard,
Say...
It's like oh, ohh,ohhh, ohhhh...
F.M. D.E.M.I.G.O.D.Z.
It's like oh, ohh, ohhh, ohhhh...
D.I.P.S.E.T. S.O.B. G's
It's like
(And when my situation ain't improvin',
I'm trying to murder everything movin')
Uh yeah! Demigodz, Celph Titled the Rubik's Cuban,
(And when my situation ain't improvin',
I'm trying to murder everything movin')
Ryu the Beast, Shinoda the Cobra Holder,
You a fool for this beat, Santana the Great,
(And when my situation ain't improvin',
I'm trying to murder everything movin')
This has been a Demigodz Dipset Feature Presentation,
We'll slap the beeswax right out your grill!
(And when my situation ain't improvin',
I'm trying to murder everything movin')
Hold up!
Yeah, yeah, what's poppin', it's your boy Juelz Santana, holdin' it down bomb squad.
I see ya, y'all makin' a lot of noise out there.
The new slogan is (AY!), Juelz Santana, Dipset, holla atcha boy
Ugh, Shinoda! That's right,
Ryu, Celph Titled (yeah), Demigodz,
Dipset, Juelz Santana,
And of course, Fort Minor,
Let's go!
It's like oh, ohh, ohhh, ohhhh...
F.M. D.E.M.I.G.O.D.Z.
It's like oh, ohh, ohhh, ohhhh...
D.I.P.S.E.T. S.O.B. G's
It's like
