[Intro]
02
I need somebody to talk to me tonight (Yes I will)
03
You remember how well you use to sing it? (Yes, sir)
04
Y'all know I can't sing that song
05
Young man looked at him and said "Why you can't sing it?" (Why?)
06
You know what he told him?
07
"Since you saw me last, something happened to me"
08
[Verse 1]
09
Time to get the facts across
10
Ohh, somebody pissed the pastor off
11
I'm all for the jokes, bundle up, get your coat
12
But I only go for the throat, I'm a chimney, I want the smoke
13
You done opened up a door, I'm petty, ready for war
14
I ain't got a sister, only sister I fucked was yours
15
I know the bars off The Program touched you
16
How you mad at me, though, you let Mr. Royce touch you (facts)
17
Do what you must do
18
Me, I'm getting my just due
19
But who you talking tough to? Blinky just snuffed you
20
Puff fucked you, we've seen it, no binoculars
21
Passed you to 50, he was finger popping ya
22
Then he took it back like a fly bitch that was popular
23
You're 42 still saying "Ain't no stopping ya"
24
You know my deals—liquor, movie, and flashy kicks
25
How you talking deals? Your last deal was '96
26
Your flight book it, talking about I'm crooked
27
Man, I don't steal; if I took something I took it
28
Pastor Mason, no fabrication, we're winnin'
29
See all these people you spinning, I'll take it to the beginning
30
When Corey Wright japped you, Baby Maine yapped you
31
Roc open-hand slapped you, you still gave him dap, too
32
That's when I asked you, "Murda, what's the verdict?"
33
You said, "Nah, chill, Cam, I feel like I deserved it"
34
What kind of shit is that? Nigga, you a queer
35
My crib in Orlando, I had that for years
36
The Program gave you the biz
37
You know exactly what this is
38
I got homes where you hide, I hustle where you live
39
Max B from my building, nigga, who you getting wavy off of?
40
Fugazi baby, going off that water not Avianne
41
Listening to Suga J, look, he gon' play you wrong
42
Carmelo took Lala, Meek Mill took his baby mom
43
And let the church talk, hallelujah
44
[Hook]
45
No, it ain't a game, I still roll with the stainless
46
And you know my slogan, nigga, I'll make you famous
47
I'll use my brain so I will leave you brainless
48
So where you wanna meet at, nigga?
49
(YOU NAME IT!)
50
[Interlude]
51
So you gon' tell me
52
When you was staying with Puff, and I came over there
53
And used the bathroom, it wasn’t a dildo on the sink?
54
I asked you, "What the fuck is going on, man?!"
55

Remember when you dissed trap? You said it was the devil's work
58
Look at this nigga, yo—see how the devil work?
59
Wolves on your ass though, I told them all to pardon ya
60
Why you talking Harlem? You from Jacksonville, Florida
Block notePressures the target to answer
TargetMa$e
MeaningWhat it means: In “Remember when you dissed trap? You said it was the devil's work,” Cam'ron treats Ma$e's response, delay, or silence as part of the contest rather than a neutral choice. Why it was said: Cam'ron and Ma$e were childhood collaborators in Harlem whose relationship fractured over career moves, religion, loyalty and old street history. ‘Take Em to Church’ attacked Ma$e's return from ministry; ‘It's Killa’ revived those grievances, prompting ‘The Oracle’ and Cam's rapid ‘Dinner Time’ response. By defining silence as concession, the line tries to control the timetable of the feud and force Ma$e into replying on the artist's terms.

I fed you when you was hungry, crash test, dummy
63
But the shit he said next, I swear it ain't funny
64
Said "Cam, become a deacon, them deacons be getting money"
Block noteUses image and fashion as evidence
TargetMa$e
MeaningWhat it means: In “I used to give you all my clothes, don't forget you was bummy,” Cam'ron treats Ma$e's clothing or presentation as a constructed image that can be mocked or traced to somebody else. Why it was said: Cam'ron and Ma$e were childhood collaborators in Harlem whose relationship fractured over career moves, religion, loyalty and old street history. ‘Take Em to Church’ attacked Ma$e's return from ministry; ‘It's Killa’ revived those grievances, prompting ‘The Oracle’ and Cam's rapid ‘Dinner Time’ response. Public style is part of a rapper's brand, so attacking it makes the entire persona look manufactured rather than self-defined.

70
Only time they mention this nigga when it's retro
71
Money gone, jewelry fake, you could hear an echo
72
I'm what you could have been, you was too petro
Block noteTreats the target's persona as fabricated
TargetMa$e
MeaningWhat it means: In “Money gone, jewelry fake, you could hear an echo,” Cam'ron says Ma$e's public story or image is false rather than a reliable account of who the target is. Why it was said: Cam'ron and Ma$e were childhood collaborators in Harlem whose relationship fractured over career moves, religion, loyalty and old street history. ‘Take Em to Church’ attacked Ma$e's return from ministry; ‘It's Killa’ revived those grievances, prompting ‘The Oracle’ and Cam's rapid ‘Dinner Time’ response. Once the persona is presented as invented, the boasts and accusations built on it become easier for listeners to dismiss.

And the only show you got, the Lady of Soul Awards
75
He might be nominated, I'm your little mama favorite
76
Any hood I go to, I'm accommodated
Block noteMakes the feud personal through family
TargetMa$e
MeaningWhat it means: In “He might be nominated, I'm your little mama favorite,” Cam'ron brings a relative or family boundary into the exchange with Ma$e, moving the dispute beyond music and into private life. Why it was said: Cam'ron and Ma$e were childhood collaborators in Harlem whose relationship fractured over career moves, religion, loyalty and old street history. ‘Take Em to Church’ attacked Ma$e's return from ministry; ‘It's Killa’ revived those grievances, prompting ‘The Oracle’ and Cam's rapid ‘Dinner Time’ response. Family references explain why the conflict feels personal: they raise the emotional cost for Ma$e and make the line more consequential than a routine comparison of rap skill.
