I float like big spirit in this bitch I'm ghostly Rush me, 'cause you ain't gonna live to roast me I'd have my motherfuckin' ass kicked by Moby If I let some bitch in the can like 'Bis cop over me To do war, and try to bring my crew back down I'll never stoop, to that level, to do that now I got a new cat, this time I'm pullin' two gats out With bullets, I finally got somethin' to shoot at now Let's see who got they city on lock Let's see who got the better aim with the glock Let's see who come out on top Let's see who really want they name in the streets Let's see who wanna die the same time as me and make ends meet Now was I, blessed with a gift, or cursed with a curse? I follow, hearse after hearse, with after And I'll be damned if I let Billy dance Dupri Or anybody swing an Axe at my family tree, so now I love it when you niggaz be talkin', sayin' my name Seems like your mouth is not connected to your brain Two zero zero three, and shit, it ain't the same Better have a strap my nigga, simple and plain Put your nuts on the table, my nigga let's play the game Hurt you so long, you be addicted to pain I don't wanna hear what you meant, do not explain Right before you lay in your coffin, hoe say my name Why do you hate me? I came from nothin' Blood sweat and tears, you did not create me How can you doubt me?
