Sorta like Montana Romano
Seated at the table like I'm Tony Soprano
But a Godfather 2 with micro front of the panel
Such a beautiful tactic
Pantangeline's brother lurking in the shadows
I conquered this mantle and built it from gravel
Toil with the gavel
Hammer heat quells like a rattle
I travel the world, the paper is tossed, I fold
The haters, the law, authorities
They say that I boil, say I'm embroiled
Claiming that I laundered
Back and forth like Deion Sanders
Crossed the line of scrimmage with that order but I was smarter
I should garner the respect and admiration
Liva's been patient
Seen it all, been left at sea like a Haitian
Involving the place and evolving a bracelet
A botox facelift
Gracious with the glaciers that I sent ya
Arm out the window of that Vanquish spaceship
And it's quite spacious
Niggas just acting like they don't (niggas know)
All you rappers just acting and you won't (niggas know)
I got automatics, anything you want (niggas know)
They acting like they don't see the light (niggas know)
Two guns, nigga, you ain't seeing twice (niggas know)
Two niggas scream, "Run for your life!"
I'm a warrior, poet laureate
May 13th born Taurian, cocaine courier
So ahead of my time
Like Back to the Future but minus the Delorean
Replace it with the SL
Tight wheel well
Gas pedal, mash metal, bitch I'm flooring it
Haters wish to see me, CB4 in it
I'm going for my gusto, hoes adoring him
Loving how a hundred karats adorning him
Might trick a little, Christian Dior-ing him
Fuck 'em, tuck 'em, duck 'em, I'm ignoring 'em
Hell Hath No Fury like a woman with scorn in 'em
Q-bert the continents, I'm exploring 'em
G2, G3, I'm G4-ing 'em
Hood dope dealers and killers on tour with 'em
Root for the bad guy, the ghetto distorted him
Niggas just acting like they don't (niggas know)
All you rappers just acting and you won't (niggas know)
I got automatics, anything you want (niggas know)
They acting like they don't see the light (niggas know)
Two guns, nigga, you ain't seeing twice (niggas know)
Two niggas scream, "Run for your life!"
From the drive, I take my time so it is distinguished
You all speak English but not my language
Tongue trickery, delivery got too many dimensions to it
Let me slip into it, shit is foolish
Who are these losers choosing to misuse the news
Calling it music, forcing me to abuse it
I no longer drop that converse, I bomb first
Knowing that my fuse lit
Shit, C4 to the fifth
Power I devour styles that y'all cowards
Eat it like I ordered it, reheated and slaughtered it
And soon as I call out, they know whose voice it is
Therefore that's nuff said
Hot like fresh lead in dead man heads
Spit sick like them with AIDS on death bed
'Bout to go, you can't fuck with me, niggas know
Niggas just acting like they don't (niggas know)
All you rappers just acting and you won't (niggas know)
I got automatics, anything you want (niggas know)
They acting like they don't see the light (niggas know)
Two guns, nigga, you ain't seeing twice (niggas know)
Two niggas scream, "Run for your life!"
