(slick rick) All of you cock-pullers are frontin Wave your arms around like your some octopus or somethin To better ya For any chick you want, I'm gettin her Rob people, mad ignorant, et cetera Who the one to entertain and fume with? Who you know breed humans can't be in the same room with? Reefer sweet, wrap it up, free fix greet Every rapper rap maggot underneath rick's feet Evicted -- why you tryin to find shit to lick with? Even your kids tell you that you ain't shit to slick rick Though you pretend to be glory I'm number one, that's the end of the story The black clark gable leave you numb Every single one, frontin on your label is a bum Let me slow it down, that's enough of that This I have to say, to you nothing other rapper cats Chorus: repeat 2x From new york to cali none'll f**k with The awkward, you think muhammad ali used to talk shit?
