Lyrics

[00:02.66][Hook: Royce Da 5'9"]
[00:05.41] Hey there, music world, you've been keepin' 'em waitin'
[00:09.18] (These are my highs and lows)
[00:11.19] You've been deprivin' 'em of the real, been on a vacation
[00:14.32] (No matter where we go)
[00:16.48] If you ask me, all around the world, I think they sleepin'
[00:20.03] But we ain't sang you a lullaby
[00:22.06] (I got no love in my heart for the other side)
[00:24.92] B-b-bye, bye, bye
[00:26.00][Verse 1: Royce Da 5'9"]
[00:26.27] The streets said I'm either supposed to be in jail or dead
[00:29.03] My uncle told me before he died to watch for these whores
[00:32.25] Before I wake up in the bed in the morn'
[00:34.44] Next to a horse head, prolly why I'm war-bred
[00:36.86] Prolly why my self-portrait, should be a Porsche with bald tires
[00:40.08] And poor tread, to symbolize my upward swim, uh!
[00:42.92] Nigga, we ain't go to no NBA
[00:44.82] All we know's to sweep rappers up to K
[00:46.53] Lookin' like, I'm tryna rake leaves on a windy day
[00:49.60] So leave me out of your kind of war, be hysterics
[00:52.66] When's the last time you seen a carnivore eat a carrot?
[00:54.88] When's the last rhyme you heard that had you trying to find your words?
[00:57.83][Verse 2: MF DOOM]
[00:58.44] Such absurd verbs do not disturb blurbs
[01:00.41] Slid to the curb, he's not the first herb written on a mirror
[01:03.62] Blurred rap guys is buyin' by like flies on a turd
[01:06.76] Preemo and Royce surprise 'em, eye-to-eye 'em, they scurred
[01:10.08] Slur intended, demented, got some nerve
[01:12.26] Got no patience and a little perturbed, you heard?
[01:15.31] Guessin' wit' more questions than answers
[01:17.78] Why they started rhymin'? Should've just remained dancers
[01:20.65] It's better odds than countin' cards at the Luxor…
[01:23.21] Carbon fiber, black mask, askin' what the **** tux for
[01:26.08] Deluxe war, to whom it may concern
[01:28.18] It's too late to burn, DOOM, you wait your turn
[01:31.03][Hook: Royce Da 5'9"]
[01:31.64] Hey there, music world, you've been keepin' 'em waitin'
[01:35.21] (These are my highs and lows)
[01:37.29] You've been deprivin' 'em of the real, been on a vacation
[01:40.20] (No matter where we go)
[01:42.85] If you ask me, all around the world, I think they sleepin'
[01:45.45] But we ain't sang you a lullaby
[01:47.94] (I got no love in my heart for the other side)
[01:50.76] B-b-bye, bye, bye
[01:51.60][Verse 3: Royce Da 5'9"]
[01:51.96] I remember bein' broke, playin' Little Brother out my mother whip
[01:55.36] Now I got some shit look like the mothership
[01:57.21] Now my little brother got my other whip
[01:59.32] Havin' to return it back to me…
[02:00.67] Is exactly what he think the meanin' of struggle is
[02:03.18] People compliment my grind, they wonder how I stay this clean
[02:05.93] Comin' from Michigan, you don't seem to age
[02:07.86] That's cause I don't whine about the state of things
[02:10.01] Hatin' on others'll get you old quick
[02:11.64] So I just salute and let my flow switch
[02:13.96] Takin' my shit to the highest of levels
[02:15.13] Combinin' everythin' that I have developed since '99
[02:16.58] My style just seems to get better and better and better
[02:18.96] Hoppin' out the custom Corvette
[02:20.83] The same hustle, ready for whatever
[02:22.01] Not a mushroom, portobella
[02:22.96] I'm a truth-storyteller, uh, uh, right on
[02:25.11][Hook: Royce Da 5'9"]
[02:25.58] Hey there, music world, you've been keepin' 'em waitin'
[02:28.70] (These are my highs and lows)
[02:30.53] You've been deprivin' 'em of the real, been on a vacation
[02:34.10] (No matter where we go)
[02:35.37] If you ask me, all around the world, I think they sleepin'
[02:39.31] But we ain't sang you a lullaby
[02:41.58] (I got no love in my heart for the other side)
[02:43.75] B-b-bye, bye, bye
[02:44.96][Verse 4: MF DOOM]
[02:45.36] Grab the microphone like he smack a rapper iPhone
[02:48.43] PRhyme time, time's up, dial tone, smile's on
[02:51.24] Show your teeth, known by the wild prone
[02:53.77] All getters, pile on, gone since child grown
[02:56.70] On the count, check, you'll catch a pound next
[02:59.35] Stop clownin' around for rec', no disrespect 'tended
[03:02.17] Said it, I meant it
[03:04.74] Before it's invented, get it, did it, spent it
[03:06.84] Keep the change, he needs that receipt, thanks
[03:10.15] MCs need franks regardless of street rank
[03:12.30] Their feet stank, we never leave the beat blank
[03:14.91][Verse 5: Phonte]
[03:15.28] Masterpiece theatre, we the no limit think tank
[03:18.05] Love to hit the club with my nigga cause when we drank
[03:20.72] He think he a pimp but he can't see that them three skanks look nothing like Selita Ebanks
[03:23.97] Wake up in the morning like, "Gee, thanks"
[03:25.97] Tigallo the polymath, Raleigh boy, rap game Rolly Forbes
[03:32.43] Never with the same sound, crazy like James Brown on Polydor
[03:35.94] Sniffin' cocaine off of a bodyboard
[03:38.62] Quick to 86 your top five if he not in yours
[03:41.30] Why so serious? What y'all melancholy for?
[03:43.98] Against us you'll never score at all, nope
[03:46.48] Never headline a tour at all
[03:47.94] Y'all Flintstone chewables ****in' with toradols
[03:50.67] Now who you wanna call?
[03:51.96][Hook: Royce Da 5'9"]
[03:52.29] Hey there, music world, you've been keepin' 'em waitin'
[03:56.04] (These are my highs and lows)
[03:57.40] You've been deprivin' 'em of the real, been on a vacation
[04:00.90] (No matter where we go)
[04:03.44] If you ask me, all around the world, I think they sleepin'
[04:06.56] But we ain't sang you a lullaby
[04:08.69] (I got no love in my heart for the other side)
[04:11.43] B-b-bye, bye, bye
[04:12.23][Outro: KXNG CROOKED & Royce Da 5'9"]
[04:12.70] I rap, I rap, I rap circles around 'em
[04:18.77] I rap, I, I, I rap, rap circles around 'em
[04:23.88] I rap, rap, rap, rap circles around 'em
[04:28.62] This the difference between y'all niggas and real rap
[04:32.42] I rap circles around 'em
[04:34.04] PRhyme!
