| [01:28.10] | I don't care if you Mobb Deep, I hold triggers to crews |
| [01:30.74] | You little ****, I got money stacks bigger than you |
| [01:33.55] | When I was pushing weight, back in '88 |
| [01:36.44] | You was a ballerina, I got the pictures, I seen ya |
| [01:39.34] | Then you dropped "Shook Ones," switched your demeanour |
| [01:41.78] | Well, we don't believe you, you need more people |
| [01:44.87] | Roc-A-Fella, students of the game, we passed the class cause Roc-A-Fella， |
| [01:48.47] | Nobody can read you dudes like we do |
| [01:50.85] | Don't let em gas you, like "Jigga is ass and won't clap you" JAY-Z |
| [01:54.11] | Trust me on this one, I'll detach you |
| [01:56.46] | Mind from spirit, body from soul |
| [01:58.70] | They'll have to hold a mass, put your body in a hole |
| [02:01.73] | No, you're not on my level get your brakes tweaked |
| [02:04.93] | I sold what your whole album sold in my first week |
| [02:07.45] | You guys don't want it with Hov |
| [02:09.93] | Ask Nas, he don't want it with Hov, no! |
| [02:12.76] | [Hook |
| [02:33.19] | [Verse 3 |
| [02:33.18] | I know you missing Nas the (fame) |
| [02:37.03] | But along with celebrity comes about 70 shots to your frame, nigga |
| [02:40.80] | You a (lame) |
| [02:42.61] | You's the fag model for Karl Kani, Esco ads |
| [02:45.87] | Went from Nasty Nas to Esco's trash |
| [02:48.76] | Had a spark when you started but now you're just garbage |
| [02:51.46] | Fell from "top 10" to "not mentioned at all" |
| [02:53.99] | To your bodyguard's "Oochie Wally"'s verse better than yours |
| [02:56.84] | Matter of fact you had the worst flow on the whole ****ing song |
| [02:59.59] | But I know: the sun don't shine, then son don't shine |
| [03:02.37] | That's why your (lame) career's come to an end |
| [03:05.74] | It's only so long fake thugs can pretend |
| [03:07.92] | Nigga, you ain't live it |
| [03:09.48] | You witnessed it from your folks' pad |
| [03:11.05] | You scribbled it in your notepad and created your life |
| [03:13.33] | I showed you your first TEC (me!), on tour with Large Professor |
| [03:16.33] | Then I heard your album about your TEC on the dresser |
| [03:19.03] | So yeah, I sampled your voice, you was using it wrong |
| [03:21.67] | You made it a hot line, I made it a hot song |
| [03:24.36] | And you ain't get a coin, nigga, you was getting ****ed then |
| [03:27.52] | I know who I paid, God - Serchlite publishing |
| [03:30.26] | Use your (brain) |
| [03:31.99] | You said you've been in this 10, I've been in it 5 - smarten up, Nas |
| [03:35.45] | 4 albums in 10 years, nigga? I could divide 10 |
| [03:38.09] | That's one every...let's say 2 |
| [03:39.81] | 2 of them shits was due |
| [03:41.44] | 1 was "nah," the other was Illmatic It Was Written |
| [03:44.07] | That's a one-hot-album-every-10-year average |
| [03:47.07] | And that's so (lame) |
| [03:48.65] | Nigga, switch up your flow |
| [03:50.07] | Your shit is garbage |
| [03:51.19] | What you trying to kick, knowledge? |
| [03:52.55] | You niggas gonna learn to respect the king |
| [03:54.80] | Don't be the next contestant on that Summer Jam screen |
| [03:57.59] | Because you-know-who did you-know-what with you-know-who |
| [04:01.30] | But let's keep that between me and you (for now) |
| [04:03.37] | [Hook |
| [04:25.09] | [Verse 4 |
| [04:25.70] | A wise man told me don't argue with fools |
| [04:28.14] | Cause people from a distance can't tell who is who |
| [04:31.09] | So stop with that childish shit, nigga I'm grown |
| [04:33.92] | Please leave it alone - don't throw rocks at the throne |
| [04:36.57] | Do not bark up that tree, that tree will fall on you |
| [04:39.47] | I don't know why your advisers ain't forewarn you |
| [04:42.40] | Please, not Jay, he's not for play |
| [04:44.90] | I don't slack a minute, all that thug rapping and gimmicks |
| [04:48.01] | I will end it, all that yapping be finished |
| [04:50.59] | You are not deep, you made your bed now sleep |
| [04:53.29] | Don't make me expose you to them folks that don't know you |
| [04:56.07] | Nigga I know you well, all the stolen jew-els |
| [04:58.78] | Twinkletoes, you're breaking my heart Twinketoes， |
| [05:01.00] | You can't **** with me - go play somewhere, I'm busy |
| [05:04.16] | And all you other cats throwing shots at Jigga |
