[Hook]
And I promise if I take you home, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
Said c'mon baby throw me a bone, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
And I promise if you take me home, I'll sing you a song, never leave me alone
Said c'mon baby throw me a bone, I'll sing you a song, never leave you alone

[Interlude]
I'mma tell you something about me
That's my favourite subject, I don't know whether you picked up on that yet or not

[Verse 1]
I never said I had a business mind
I just don't believe that quitting time exists, ain't no finish line to this
You got to give me mine, I really shine, my given time is this
Live and die by the grind driven by the fist
Where do you place my name if I never played your game
We don't race the same, I [bad word] inside no painted lane
Plus y'all pacin' strange, y'all either stop or you sprint [bad word] when it's sunny and hide if it change to rain
I wouldn't be half the Ali that I am
If I slowed myself up and [bad word] with these people fam
I'm every bit as unconcerned as they are unprepared
Market flooded, needless to say I wasn't scared
Let's all drop they same day, I don't [bad word] #39; care
Put listening stations in the store and let the public hear
Better yet, let's have an in-store performance
Make it oranges to oranges, me dwarfing your endurance
After that we'll shoot the [bad word] with our supporters
And see how many more discs of yours the indie stores order
 [bad word] you already knew I out rap em'
On the low we out work, out think, and out class em'

[Hook]

[Interlude]
Nobody's doing this thing exactly like we do
They do it, they just ain't doing it like us, you know what I'm sayin'
Sucker [bad word] mother [bad word] 

[Verse 2]
My personal pedigree's so bona fide
Cause a man of my stature ain't born overnight
The undisputed king of where poor folks reside
Because every time I speak it be hope vocalized
And you sit and [bad word] with your chickens about it isn't fair
The sound system ain't [bad word] but I was crystal clear
We first name basis, sound men - we give em' beer
Plus I tipped 'em 50 last semester when the clique was here
Listen here, I ain't gonna give you all my secrets
Just these few examples help me illustrate my pretense
Our strength is unrelated to your weakness
Cause you'll never be a worthy pool of peers to [bad word] with
I see my [bad word] with Son House and Syl Johnson
And always loose, I done lost face too but I'm sporting their shoes
So let me remind you, them little kicks you trying to fit
We outgrew them [bad word] in high school man

[Hook]

I don't think I'm arrogant man, I think I just
You know, I do's what the [bad word] I does man if that's just..
Kiss my [bad word] for all I care

[Verse 3]
It's of foremost importance there is none like unto the brother
Out this [bad word] regardless
So stop all the nonsense
You see me lounging: call Rhymesayers' office
I've officially lost it
They say my reputation precedes me
I don't know the meaning of off-season, I ain't taking it easy
Ain't taking a day off, never had an off-night
Never been laid off, I live on the job site
It all pays off though when I squint in the spotlight
And see your lips are moving to the [bad word] [bad word] that I write
And we gon' be alright, every night of my life
It's my night cause I view the future like it's hindsight
I ain't waiting, I'm patiently persevering
I see greatness in the person in the mirror very clearly
And that's why I take this seriously
 [bad word] near to me and [bad word]  [bad word] hear me

[Hook]
