This ain't beef man I don't know what the fuck to call it But no beef Whattup X? 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? You don't know shit about me There'd be no West coast without me Cut with the bullshit, I struggle for survival And now you tryin' to act like my rival? Watch what you say partner, it's a small earth Don't play games with your life nigga, it's not worth All the pain (All the pain) All the agony (All the agony) All the horror (All the horror) All the tragedy (All the tragedy) Put your hands up people, it's time to fight now I beat holes in your chest, remain hostile Threaten my life? One day you'll understand They say that pride is the sign of a foolish man So who the fuck, you think you talkin' to? Live and direct in the flesh, I'm right in front of you 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 I never really smashed on Jermaine's ass, Dre smashed him Nobody ganged up 'til he came back and jacked him I never really brought it to his ass, I tapped him I coulda been like Treach, boom-bapped and slapped him Purple, for mimickin' him with two rappin' Urkels I coulda snapped, took it past rap and hurt you But I didn't, I kept it on wax and served you I square dance 'cause I'm sick of rappin' circles Around these clowns, steady tryin' to call me out It's like I'm listenin' to motherfuckin' dogs meow You'd probably do better tryin' to come and stomp me out You don't want it with rap, this is what I'm all about, c'mon No gangsta you ain't either (Will) But I know that I spit ether (Not) I shoulda crossed your belly (Lose) Show you I'm not R.
