Oh, y'all wanna go to the nineties?
Y'all wanna go retro?
That's what we doin'
Oh that's one of my specialties
[Chorus]
(get busy y'all)
You better watch me
You better watch me
You better watch me
You better watch me
Let's get it poppin'
They like this boy rotten
I'm like I better pick ? then pick cotton
And sometimes gotta see cats to blow
I was blessed with that twenty/twenty vision fa sho'
See its twenty mil a year twenty years in a row
First twenty mil came when I was twenty years old
I average right around twenty% on my dough
Fast forward twenty years then compare my flow
Difference is I own mine and you still owe
Slackin' in your mackin' can't save a hoe
Speculatin' at the bar over mohetoe
Like I betchya fall off, oh no he won't
So I so spit better, oh no he don't
Under twenty ass fifty if you feelin' to go
Over thirty ass Rakim I ain't no joke
I'm dirty his jaws drop off wicked and went
[Chorus]
Still bangin' both, still hangin'
Look like a, thank god its still rainin'
I'm light on my feet, you can't judge me by the weigh-in
It's hard to grasp some of the shit I be sayin'
It fly's over your head like a second string is
You can't comprehend me
You couldn't place a decimal on the paper I'm makin'
Fly man can't appreciate on castles creation
No wonder y'all keep hatin'
Is L really ? young boy's debatin'
You play johnny ? I'll keep on cakin'
You can't compare me to them line for line
I'm beyond that I represent ? of time
Classic my style can't be defined
I'll be relevant forever, get it through your mind
Just watch me
[Chorus]
(I see you)
Two steppin' in the club
With my L in the air
And a bottle of bub
(I see you)
Two steppin' in the club
With my L in the air
And a bottle of bub
(I see you)
Two steppin' in the club
With my L in the air
And a bottle of bub
(I see you)
Two steppin' in the club
With my L in the air
And a bottle of bub
(I see you)
Back on the scene, back reppin' queens
Turnin' Def Jam back into a marketing machine
Now we talkin' autographs, cheers and laughs
I got interns tellin' niggas kiss they ass
Cause we back on top, ain't nobody this high
Just them niggas is mad whether they say it or not (haha)
I thought I told ya that we don't top
Tell all them sucka MC's jump on the jock
And watch me
