Uh...Can't even really be rap. |
|
You can't even really act like you gotta' get it in wit'out a... uh.(Wait a minute!) |
|
Cocksuckers (oh ye'), pause.(Mic check 1, 2, 1, 2 [x4]) |
|
It's ya man, |
|
Joey!Reportin' live from the slums (wait a minute!) |
|
Reportin' live from the belly of the beast (wait a minute!) |
|
Reportin' live from a hood near you (it's... it's...) |
|
Or maybe not so near you.[Verse 1: Joe Budden] |
|
L-Look, look... |
|
First off, |
|
I'm not competin', |
|
I'm more like stampeding |
|
I'm more like steamrollin' (or...) |
|
More like puttin' my foot on the neck of the game until |
|
I see it chokin' |
|
I hol' on for dear life, (I mean uh...) the flow is air tight an' the bars are bar none |
|
Regarded as the one, fuck music, it's a art ta' son, let's rewind. |
|
See, I was born in the projects, left for a new hood |
|
Jetted ta' a new state, lookin' for a new pace. |
|
Diamond in the rough, |
|
I stood out amongst the food cache |
|
Swear a friend a mine headlined every news page (jhea'). |
|
Wit' dreams of bein' wealthy |
|
You now checkin' out the new |
|
Jersey version of |
|
Peter Petrelli. |
|
But wait! |
|
Wit' a lil' |
|
Travis Barker on the side' |
|
Cause when it all falls down |
|
I normally survive. |
|
I'm try'nna see a new tax bracket |
|
So I'll never have ta' grab matics |
|
I ain't concerned wit' no rap racket. |
|
So y'all could take my name through the mud an' drag it |
|
Spread it ta' the masses, (I'mma) |
|
I still play it passive. |
|
I got no choice but' walk around wit' the lead on me |
|
Life is way too short, too many dead homies.(Or...) plus, wit' all the money |
|
I investEveryday a nigga die for less!(So...) so, if a nigga wann' go ta' war, wave hi ta' |
|
DeathI mean |
|
He lives right next ta' me, so |
|
He ain't a threat ta' me[Hook] |
|
He's a beast, he's a monster, he is insane! |
|
He's an animal, he cannot be tamed! |
|
What rapper you know'll straight feast on a lame |
|
An' rock on a track, beast on the game!(Damn right I'm on my grind,Look like some shit is on my mind. [x2]) |
|
Yeeeeeah![Verse 2: Joe Budden] |
|
L-Look, look... |
|
I'm still livin' life in the fast lane (oh!) |
|
Still plottin' on my big money scheme like he |
|
Wesley an' |
|
Woody thinkin' how ta' rob a cash train. |
|
Shittin' on ho's that'll act fain' |
|
Till the whole |
|
World know his last (wait a minute!) |
|
Still spit like it ain't no ta'morra' |
|
It ain't over y'all, underrated so |
|
I overcharge. |
|
Ol' Dodge, radio off, fuck a station |
|
Get ta' know me through the music not a publication (naw). |
|
It's no justification, (but a...) mean enough wit' the waitin'(I mean I...) |
|
I lost all my just an' my patience. |
|
That came wit'out the crown or the chair or the robe |
|
Nigga, I don't care what'chu sow (wait a minute!) |
|
They let the beast outta' the cage, look at the hunger |
|
Got'chur self inta' some shit, look at the plunger. |
|
I'm talkin' 'cause |
|
I'm livin' it, entrepreneur |
|
Steve Rifkind shit |
|
Though a few haters wann' |
|
Kinder it. |
|
I'm comin' wit' some different shit |
|
An' these offices all about my paper, that's that ?? shit. |
|
Rapper on 'roids, sick wit' the thoughts (but...) |
|
But managed ta' keep my name out the mention report. |
|
See I'mma inspiration for a whole generation |
|
Even when |
|
I'm gone, but my message is indication. |
|
Then you too can attain the unattainable(But...) fuck try'nna explain the unexplainable![Hook] |
|
He's a beast, he's a monster, he is insane! |
|
He's an animal, he cannot be tamed! |
|
What rapper you know'll straight feast on a lame |
|
An' rock on a track, beast on the game!(Damn right I'm on my grind,Look like some shit is on my mind. [x2]) |
|
Yeeeeeah! |
