lyrics

v1
if you wanna be a quitter than quit
i won't stop you at all for dipping
i get it,
your spirits have dipped

'cause your mission isn't within you
it isn't sincere
you've submitted to fear
fishing for compliments

your confidence is missing it's clear
i'm not here to be bestow it
you gotta go and get it yourself if you wanna know that
it is real

you fishing for deals
them big fish be eating you and lure too
an indelible stain on the pure you

be sure to close the door upon your exit
first marvel on the titles i've contested

gargle a pair of testes if you'd fold at the slightest sign of
objection
my watch only got time for the courageous

watching behind my back within the battle is the bravest
so we return the favors
the weakest links in chains defeat

the whole reason we entertain
we speaking to enter brains and delight
with these mics
just to keep it simple and plain

v2
.. before i go
let the story show
never frequented glory-holes
or double dunked an oreo

..not within my skillset
i ain't paid the bills yet
no stability

i ain't isolated the real threat
..maybe my lack of responsibility
cements that the backs of my ears are still wet

you do it for the meal check
and bill flash to smash chicks like
insects at picnics

ya cain't even sniff a whiff of the buttermilk biscuits
let alone
ever sit up at the table wit me

yo broke ass
i'll break bread if you can break this 50

the secret's i'm broker
and i got my whole savings with me
could use a donation quickly

your gators crispy
you at random locations spiffy
naysayers diss me
but i get love from raver hippies

to sailor gypsies to pagan pixies
a hater's essence is fabricated n flimsy

v3
young featherweights with
heads full o steam and lesser names
get metal rain and wrapped up in cellophane
for telling names

competitors gain leverage but their method is lame
we train, to steady the aim
bet it's shredding ya brain

unluckily these suckas be claimin sucker free
but pucker
plus they'd rather duck and flee

i'm going in, cover me
you clumsily mismanage your companies
trust in me
these dummies uncomfortably

rabble rouse
at the top and spew that toxic brew
they watch a few with myopic view, that's
prolly what not to do

we'll see if you gotta clue, when that tower topples on top
of your microscopic crew, it's not philosophical
it's the honest truth

best believe it
you know me the rep proceeded
the pressure treated, accredited genius
to whom you pledge allegiance

so look a that king, you'll never be it
and if you got me in your sights, you better squeeze it
