The bad, the evil, the bad, the evil Yo, if it wasn't for your whip, I'd have nothing to strip If it wasn't for a wrist, I'd have nothing to slip If it wasn't for the spoons, I'd have nothing to chew I'm just fucking with you, cause I got nothing to do I came in the diner with skateboarders, placed orders, ate hors d'oeuvres Hit the waiter with plate warmers, let you inhale the glocks, man While I'm ripping your wallet off and slipping the Molotov in your cocktail Burning your contracts, punch a ring and arm in the face Smash the glasses and turn them to contacts I'm on some shook shit, if it's missing, I took it Nurse, look at this straitjacket, it's crooked I'll go to jail and murder you for myself Put a knife in an envelope and have you stabbed in the mail So how do you describe someone with a decapitated head when the rest of his body's still alive? Running, coming with five gunmen, waiting to do a drive-by So when you see the black 500, hide from it For every hundred MCs rhyming about birds, only about two-thirds have really said it without words Yo, you ain't a thug, I can make you bitch up Pick the fifth up, cock spit, you will swear it's raining slugs I'm the hottest shit in the industry I got every thug on the block to get a wind of me defending me You lack class and respect, get a direct backblast A bad and evil mad rap, I cover the bad half You know how I thug and this shit'll end up Spit around, lift your chin up You get hit, ten down and ten up Take it, if you run your mouth, then you wanna get sent off Heat it up, you'll be leaking blood and spitting phlegm up Now we rivals, cause of a small name or title You step got devoured and left with a flower inviting Yo, if it wasn't for your whip, I'd have nothing to strip And if it wasn't for a wrist, I'd have nothing to slit If it wasn't for the schrooms, I'd have nothing to chew I'm just fucking with you cause I got nothing to do If it wasn't for your whip, I'd have nothing to strip And if it wasn't for a wrist, I'd have nothing to slit If it wasn't for the schrooms, I'd have nothing to chew I'm just fucking with you cause I got nothing to do Forget a chorus, my metaphors are so complicated It takes six minutes to get applause And by the time you all catch on I'ma end your career and walk away with the whole floor So you have nothing to fall back on I'll throw you off of ten floors Pull a fucking headache out of my head and put it in yours I'm indoors, waiting for this acid to seep in my skin pores To go outdoors and do some in-stores This bitch wanted to blow me, I said it oughta happen Swallow cum, bitch No, but I brought a napkin Getting scully while I'm autographing Got my daughter laughing cause I sent her mother whitewater rafting I'm not a fact, I'm a proven fear Mr. Rogers blocking my u-haul, screaming Wait, you ain't moving here Lorraine and Bobbitt, come here Want a souvenir? I've been high as fuck since I was a juvenile Juvenile, same difference I need some K cause I ain't sniff since I woke up to seven slain infants Brain implants, and they say there's a slim chance I won't stay the same cause I traded brains for the chin pads Walking in swamp water with an M16 out for the blood Shove a gun in the mouth of a thug to break braces You say grace and make faces I'll display hate and break you in eight places Take paces, turn around, draw on a standoff Precise aim, icing my fame, blowing your hand off Dancing with the devil eating I won't die, I'm never leaving I pledge allegiance to forever breathing Street niggas with nuts, what, my meat's bigger Fake ass thugs with toy guns and cheap triggers with a death wish Thinking I'm the nigga to mess with Let the tech lift, direct chest hit Melt your necklace, for instance You just a henchman on tough soil A follower never had heart, he just loyal Thugs is glass doors, I see through him Put the heat to him Be careful, you might get what you asked for Yo, if it wasn't for your whip, I'd have nothing to strip And if it wasn't for a wrist, I'd have nothing to slip If it wasn't for the spoons, I'd have nothing to chew I'm just fucking with you cause I got nothing to do If it wasn't for your whip, I'd have nothing to strip And if it wasn't for a wrist, I'd have nothing to slip If it wasn't for the spoons, I'd have nothing to chew I'm just fucking with you cause I got nothing to do The bad The evil The bad The evil
