[Verse 1: Twista] See you with the eye Rather at the apex of a pyramid or the forehead of a cyclops Talking shit to me make sure you're off the right block Still I'mma come through in the Mercedes Benz white drop Might stop, but only if I know you I don't mean to blow you with the statement But I don't be fuckin' with these niggas, and that's why they be hatin' Cause I stay in the zone, I be alone, so excuse me if I'm wrong I'm off a kush, and when the T.H.C. affect the dialect I be as free as?

[Verse 2: Ab-Soul] Punch you bout your third eye Type of shit I make a bird swim, fish fly Fuck it, touch the sky on the first try Man a motherfucker could never control me, only squeeze me and hold me Is what a FK member told me, Now is she bold g? But in my mouth is where the gold be, cause I be playin' with like Goldie Ab-Soul I know ya know me Pick a Backwoods jar of that good yeah I blow it by the OZ I never sleep, you getting cozy I made it out the jungle watch and write a book about Mowgli I ain't a killer but don't push me I hit you with a cig, but I'd rather smoke up on a stogie God MC, you could say I'm holy The ghost of Alori Joh walk with me so a nigga never lonely Soulo, but Top Dawg is a army Flow AT&T nigga 4 g's Might be the hip hop Bob Marley, Taking shots at politicians while I roll weed Easily Eazy-E without the Jheri Curl Juice Off that drank that make you think every girl cute On top of the pyramid, Any angles acute Mark of the Beast on me, him, her, and you Money in the safe in case there's a lawsuit Because any lumberjack would say they saw you Me and Twista in the cut twistin up a blunt what the fuck you want?
