I used to be a man of the people
51
Hit the clubs and mingle (What up?)
52
Used to dream one day I'd be fuckin' P!nk, like a flamingo (P!nk)
53
That was back when I smoked Canibus (What?)
54
Man, but it was tough, 'cause I was a fan of his

'Cause we shot pool back in '01
59

Something told me fuckin' not to
61
Then we got stuck in high school
62
I shoved an Oscar up his wazoo

'Cause you press him but he don't do nothing though (Damn it)
67
'Specially when it comes to punches thrown
68
You motherfuckers keep wantin' smoke
69
So the blunt is rolled, take another toke
70
Of the spliff and inhale
71
'Cause all you're gonna get is an "L,"
72
And smoked like a fuckin' roach
73
So we don't got nothing in common, not even a fuckin' cold
74
Or nasal issue if it comes to blows

Wasted tissue, tell this journalist
76
Stick to the stuff he knows
77
Like always runnin' from Migos
78
Here a mic, there a mic, everywhere a mic

Or all this fuckin' Milli Vanilli hip-hop
87
This is where all that silly shit stops
88
Compare me to the pistol that triggered this thought
89
The semi, the Glock, 9 millis get cocked
90
I'm sendin' a shot, don't come around
91
With them floss raps tryna stunt
92
Compare me to Meek, big wheelies get popped
93
One by one
94
Compare 'em to scabs, I'm pickin' them off
95
Then goin' home to fuck Nicki Minaj, aw
96
Compare me to Diggedy-Das, yah
97
I'm hickity-hittin' it raw, ha
98
In a beat up trailer, now
99
Shady meets Griselda
100
Yeah, we linked up and we inked a deal
101
I got a beast, I will leash Godzilla
102
How can we be so hella—copped a motherfuckin' attitude
103
I'm gonna need propellers
104
The chopper, the Machine Gun killer
105
Gunn and The Machine, the simi—larities
