"aww shit!" - big daddy kane (repeat 4x) |
|
Me and the fellas, we used to be cool |
|
Until i got the fame, the girls, and the jewels |
|
Now i'm the big man, and they's the small cat |
|
The walk around saying (ayo finesse thinks he's all that!) |
|
I remember when brothers wouldn't back me |
|
(the used to front on me) yeah, exactly |
|
They used to laugh, joke, and try to fool me though |
|
Saying (man, you wasting all your time in the studio!) |
|
I used to get dissed by the neighborhood snapper |
|
He used to say (what you on? you'll never be a rapper) |
|
Now that i'm paid, rolling with an even crew |
|
The brother be fronting, saying (i always believed in you) |
|
Lord finesse is what i paid the cost to be |
|
Back in the days brothers used to step off on me |
|
(going to the movies, finesse what's up with you?) |
|
Yo, my cash is low (aww, we can't fuck with you) |
|
Even my family was dissing |
|
Said i would never make it, there was too much competition |
|
Out of the family, no one would defend me |
|
Said i was better off getting a job at wendy's |
|
Back in the days they was confused, but now they see |
|
So they tell me they happy and they proud of me |
|
I know the others that be playing with the high credits |
|
Saying (fuck finesse, and yo you can tell him that i said it!) |
|
But when i'm in their face, looking for the payback |
|
They're the first to say (come on, you know i didn't say that) |
|
The brother's copping pleas, i have no time to argue |
|
Lying so much he should write a fucking novel |
|
That's a brother i should waste and get rid of |
|
I shoulda (yo chill, fuck them niggas) |
|
Yeah, fuck them niggas |
|
Fuck them niggas! ("take that motherfucker" - ice cube) |
|
Fuck them niggas! ("i ain't bullshitting" - kool g rap) (repeat 2x) |
|
People try to figure what i'm all about |
|
So you always have brothers yapping at the mouth |
|
(finesse is my man!) that's what they shout, see |
|
Fronting and shit because they know nothing about me |
|
I lounge in the rest because i'm a brother that's laid back |
|
So yap all you want but my pockets is gonna stay fat |
|
I used to be fast to run and serve a crew |
|
If you dissed me in the past, i have no work for you |
|
I know who's a traitor and who's my man |
|
I know who's gonna scram when shit hits the fan |
|
I know who used to laugh, diss, and doubt me |
|
But now they want to hound me and be all around me |
|
Those the brothers that's always starting rumors |
|
But yo, that shit is played out like suede pumas |
|
I make g's whenever me and my dj flips |
|
So i don't give a fuck about that he say she say shit |
|
I'm a get mine, so i don't stay worried |
|
I ain't scared to go all out and get my hands dirty |
|
I could care less, cause i do what i wanna |
|
Cause i'm getting papes and got my peoples in the corner |
|
So i don't care about all my foes and enemies |
|
Since i'm paid, a lot of motherfuckers envy me |
|
They try to diss me because it makes them feel bigger |
|
But i got three words: fuck them niggas |
|
Fuck them niggas! ("take that motherfucker" - ice cube) |
|
Fuck them niggas! ("i ain't bullshitting" - kool g rap) (repeat 2x) |
|
I have a lot of friends since i'm living fat now |
|
Calling on the phone with my song in the background |
|
Saying (i wanna rhyme, finesse can you teach me?) |
|
Nigga please, you ain't been trying to reach me |
|
Those the brothers who's around when you're winning |
|
But wasn't there when you struggled at the beginning |
|
When i decided to learn, they chose to remain dumb |
|
Now they run around saying i forgot where i came from |
|
Back in the days there were rappers that weren't nice |
|
They used to diss me when i asked for advice |
|
Telling me (get outta here, beat it, go play kid) |
|
Now they wonder how i got paid before they did |
|
Others used to say (i hate they way finesse raps) |
|
Now i'm making g's so you know i don't stress that |
|
I know who's a wannabe and who's a true pal |
|
A lotta brothers dissed me, but who's sweating who now? |
|
I weak is ignorant, only the strong learn |
|
On the path to success, them brothers took a wrong turn |
|
My goal in life isn't to prove i'm a badder dude |
|
Say i'm the best and walk around with an attitude |
|
I kick song raps and drop them on strong tracks |
|
I used to go out for self but my mind is beyond that |
|
I started with kid rhymes, soon i'll be big time |
|
Straight up and down, word is bond, i'm a get mine |
|
I got songs to lay and places to play |
|
So i could care less what a motherfucker say |
|
Rap is a live sport and the ball is in my court |
|
And if i score points and you don't, it's not my fault |
|
Cause i'll bust your ass on a fast break |
|
When you mention my name get your motherfucking facts straight |
|
I like to slap up those that act up |
|
So if you don't know me best bet is to keep your trap shut |
|
I'm not the type to go around and pull a trigger |
|
But i won't hesitate to say "fuck them niggas" |
|
Fuck them niggas! ("take that motherfucker" - ice cube) |
|
Fuck them niggas! ("i ain't bullshitting" - kool g rap) (repeat 2x) |
