This mothafucka, man! Just don't shut up, will you? Talkin' bout I owe you Bitch, you owe me I'm promotin' you right now Yo, let's put the nail in his coffin I don't wanna be like this I don't really wanna hurt no feelings But I'm only being real when I say Nobody wants to hear their grandfather rap And old men have heart attacks And I don't wanna be responsible for that Yo, put the mic down and walk away You can still have a little bit of dignity I would never claim to be no Ray Benzino An 83-year-old fake Pagino So how can he hold me over some balcony Without throwin' his lower back out As soon as he goes to lift me? Please don't, you'll probably fall with me And our asses'll both be history But then again, you finally get your wish As you be all over the street like 50 Cent You fuckin' drunk pussy, fuck you Trump Give me a one-on-one, see if I don't fuck you up Try to jump the Rough Riders and they cut you up And you put Jada on a track That's how much you suck, diggin' the industry I swear that you in the streets hustlin' You sit behind a fuckin' desk at the source Butt kissin' and beggin' motherfuckers For guest appearances And you can't even get the clearances Cause real lyricists don't even respect you Or take you serious It's not that we don't like you, we hate you, period Talk about a midlife crisis, damn Last week you was shakin' Obie Dreis' hand Now he's a buster? What the fuck's with that? Get on a track, dissin' us, kissin' 50's ass And askin' me what I know about indictments Bite me, bitch, I got two cases And probation, fight me What do I know about standin' in front of a judge Like a man ready to take whatever sentence he has? What you know about your wife slicin' her wrist Right in front of the only thing that you have in this world? A little girl, and I put that on her When this is all over I would never try to make her a star and eat off her I don't know shit about no shoppin' rocks But what you know about it? Pop shops, rockin' spots Where you're the only white boy up in that bitch that's grippin' Pressin' up your own flyers and your stickers Stickin' them bitches up after spendin' six hours at Kinko's Makin' copies of your covers of cassette singles To sell them out of the trunk of your tracer Spendin' your whole paychecks at disc makers What you know about bein' bullied over half your life? Oh that's right You should know what that's like You're half white Vanilla ice, Philippines and rice I'm eatin' you alive inside Jesus Christ If you're that much of a gangster Put the mic down You should be out killin' motherfuckers right now Kill a motherfucker dead Kill him dead, bitch Shoot him in the fuckin' head Go ahead, bitch Slap my mom Slap the fuck out of her She can't sue you She wouldn't get a buck out of you Cause you're broke as fuck You suck You're a fuckin' joke If you was really sellin' coke Well then what the fuck you stop for, dummy? If you slew some crack You'd make a lot more money than you do from rap You'll never have no security You'll never be famous You'll never know what it's like to be rich Life's a bitch, ain't it, Raymond? Here, let me break this shit down in layman's terms for you Just to make sure that you can understand There's some candidates They usin' too many complicated fuckin' words for you Here, let me slow it down for you So that you can understand if I say it slower Let it go, dawg, it's over I don't wanna be like this I don't really wanna hurt no feelings But I'm only bein' real when I say Nobody wants to hear their grandfather rap You know men have heart attacks And I don't wanna be responsible for that So put the mic down and walk away You can still have a little bit of dignity Talkin' bout I had motherfuckers callin' your crib Bitch, you ain't even got a fuckin' crib You ain't even got a fuckin' phone Fuckin' bum Gretna Shut me down at your lil' fuckin' source magazine If I come back when you wanna attack you Bitch, you attack me first Take it like a man and shut the fuck up And fuck your lil' magazine too I don't need your lil' fuckin' magazine I got double XL's number anyways And y'all can't stand it Cause they gettin' bigger than y'all Oh And by the way How'd I look on the VMAs? When you was watchin' me from Whatever fuckin' TV you was watchin' me from In Boston The mean streets of Boston Fuckin' sissy And you gotta stand up in your motherfuckin' Sucker motherfuckin' kicks Oh And for those that don't know Don't get it twisted The source has a white owner
