Nah you realize anyone can get it
In such a manner that it’s going to make any doctor conflicted
However pay attention the 47s nonetheless on my tricep
Cross the parliament skillet I’m quiet the chef
Professional period the masters that ain’t ever incorrect
However it’s nonetheless TDE until 3000 and without end
Lyt was heavy and Ray positively stepped
However that is hip-hop you realize we nonetheless on that
It was wholesome for the game sticking to the roots
Retaining it aggressive
Simply be fortunate that Soul ain’t steppin it
All of y’all would of needed to shoot
The boat with an ocean view
You recognize what I got here to do
Ay yo Sean let me get that hat once more
And ask Nene who her favourite rapper is
With that, he even bought again at Sean for saying what he did in his verse. Joey adopted along with his personal onslaught with the next part:
They don’t need the battle with the Martian, they sending they troops
On the normal however, I’m the one who ab salute
They out of date, can’t compete cuz I’m too elite
Trynna spark a match however they merely missing the warmth//It’s blasphemy!
However I don’t want nobody to blast for me
I cost it to the sport name that shit a disaster
Since Ruler’s again, they been trynna measure up
Look, My identify ain’t rick, however I speak slick don’t press ya luck
S*** I aint taking no phrases again, I’m with all that
However this ain’t gotta flip to nothing else let’s hold all of it rap
First off, I might by no means hate the west coast
However since n***** coming for Joe, f*** it then lets go
N***** should’ve forgot what Dot mentioned on Management
Nonetheless a bunch delicate rappers in they pajama garments
I assume.
This ain’t no East vs West, I simply suppose that I’m the perfect, as matter of truth I do know
These bars might put Dangerous boys on Demise row
