Didn't I tell you 'fore I left here
Don't fool no guitar
And the shit be just tearin' me up
Come on, come on
You 'bout to witness here
A little chip on my shoulder
Tim and Maganoo, let me tell you
Everyone know I'm a beast
When it comes to these beats you can copy me but
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
You can sample my drum kicks and my snare
Make yo beat and it compares
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
You can borrow my MP
Even hire Jimmy D to engineer for you
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
You can get to CD to Bill
If you get any kinda deal still
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
I been makin' that fire
Before some of you was alive, check the archive
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
Forget it if I did a beat
And let it come out with your name on the credits
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
I'm proper, nobody can stop
A nigga pull yo gun and pop a nigga, I promise
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
If you get a famous feature on your song
Ain't nobody gone sing along
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
Before y'all suckaz count me out
Before y'all suckaz count me out
Nigga, I'm a problem and still can't be figured out
Before you come out your mouth
Before you come out your mouth
Nigga, I'm a problem
Now let me shoot you some game
Don't be tryna use my name to get you some fame
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
Get you two or three platinum chains
Big body Benz on thangs ain't gon' be the same
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
I'm tired of folks takin' me for a joke
I'm 'bout to get my duct tape and my rope
Don't be surprised if somebody get choked
I'm a problem I told you before
I just couldn't hold it no more, now you know
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
Keep on playin' them games
We gon' start sprayin' them thangs
We ain't comin' to complain, somebody gone get hurt
I shouldn't have to say it again
But I will case you couldn't comprehend
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
I hate to repeat myself, you look like you need a lil' help
But even when you get it
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
You can holla and kick up dirt
Get crunk and pull off your shirt, you don't scare me
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
Before y'all suckaz count me out
Before y'all suckaz count me out
Nigga, I'm a problem and still can't be figured out
Before you come out your mouth
Before you come out your mouth
Nigga, I'm a problem
You can pay a hooker money
Put a gun to her head for the pussy but
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
You can take a time machine to my past
Kill my mom before my birth
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
If you know I'm finna kill you
Get the FBI for protection
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
Get a face job, that'll make you look like me
But you can't write like me
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
Get an application for a job
Payin' you to breathe, you best believe
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
Get a white wife, join a country club
Let Fuzzy call you nigga, nigga
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
Good face, get Mase to baptize you
I don't sympathize with you
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
Put a gun to my head, pull the trigger
My last words is,? Fuck you, nigga?
(Nigga, that shit ain't gonna work)
Before y'all suckaz count me out
Before y'all suckaz count me out
Nigga, I'm a problem and still can't be figured out
Before you come out your mouth
Before you come out your mouth
