| Greetings and salutations, I’m runnin' outta patience
|
| So everything in moderation, even moderation
|
| Check every single allegation for re-calibration
|
| Call that the big pay back, it’s debt consolidation
|
| The credit fell, what the hell, too much béchamel
|
| Well, F-M-L, they desecrated the decibel
|
| Go check the mail then let me know if it’s heads or tails
|
| My ears burn like desert trails and Jezebels
|
| Uh, somebody must be talkin' 'bout me
|
| For carryin' a big stick and walkin' loudly
|
| Articles in the Times and the New Yorker 'bout me
|
| My killer instinct is like Orchid, probably
|
| I’m a Pulitzer Prize Fighter how I vaporize writers
|
| Shut 'em down at one time, synchronize silence
|
| Make the audience forget you, call it Alzheimer’s
|
| Child rhymers don’t come at the old timers
|
| Whether your fan base is lil' mommas or Obamas
|
| How you claim to have somethin' in check with no commas?
|
| You and Mary got the same request, it’s No Drama
|
| I’m the pinnacle of language, yes, the Dalai Lama
|
| Who the clown talkin' down to the twenty-one pound?
|
| I gotta send him some rounds to simmer him down
|
| 'Cause you’re not worthy to even touch the hem of the gown
|
| The brim of the crown, motherfucker, remember the sound
|
| It’s like
|
| Hey, yo
|
| Yo
|
| Since the second grade I been gainfully employed
|
| Hustlin' for change everyday from three to four
|
| When other kids was into playin' games and bein' bored
|
| Goin' against the grain’s what I painfully enjoyed
|
| When they was into race cars, trains, TV and toys
|
| I was thinkin' fat gold chains and freakazoids
|
| Fillin' the deeper void, listenin' to that Indecent Noise
|
| People used to tell me, «Boy, your brain gon' be destroyed»
|
| Left hand to the law, right hand to Allah
|
| Both hands to applaud who brought sand to the shore
|
| Confessin' all your sins to the dope man through a door
|
| I seen a preacher man sniffin' cocaine through a straw
|
| We almost had it all, just one more cannon ball
|
| And two more Geritol with one more Adderall
|
| I got the game sewn like the tailor of Panama
|
| Now I go by the name of an untamed animal
|
| Wonderin' how I can evolve to prestigious and less vicious
|
| A more visceral individual, best wishes
|
| Just on principle, I been answerin' death wishes
|
| What the Lord giveth is a king, long liveth |
