Good Morning Viet-Com, I’m back

Huh, it’s me again

Is it me you’re looking for?

(Yup)

For the perfect beat, sweetly oblique

I’m fresh, I come clean, but I can’t whistle

Psss, I’m only buggin

While No dug in the crates, I dug in my nose

And picked a rhyme, any rhyme I don’t have any time

To waste, I’m hip… don’t even trip

To an easy travel agent now we fly for free

I can be fly for free

You want some fire tree, then buy from me

I got the flame like U-I-C but I be from U-A-C

Some of the realest illest chillest cats you may see

In your life if you get one

Rappers are like jobs to me (Why?) because they get done

Here it comes I’m as Able as Cain to get raw

That’s why the DJ’s mix me, I’m gonna bust dicks

This is not da bomb so save all your threats

I’m good to go and also I’m Rets

Rhymes I wrecks affects the roughnecks

Down to the preps in the Polos, the studs with fros

Hoes with weaves, the bald-headed to the dreaded

To folks with butters, high rollers in rollers

Players with plats, studs with stocking caps

I be rockin' raps 'til I collapse

Niggas play my tape about as much as they do craps

I’m on point, I cee-lo, I see high

Hi C, I’m free at last

I’m a free man, free as World B

And like an early bird, I’m special

You ain’t that special, as Ed and Vesta

So to myself I say congratulations

I’m glad you had the patience, you better have the patience

'Cause this is me

I love the way I am and can’t nobody out here change me

Whassup Scony Rony?

I’m that boney homey from Stony

(Common) You know me!

Off the GP niggas see me on the TV

Talkin' Take It EZ, and they was like «He ain’t hardcore!»

But hardcore is far more than bats and gats

It stems back to the roots of being true

It’s gonna get me Me, you just get you You

What I look like, talkin' about some shit I ain’t do?

I ain’t shoot nobody, I ain’t shank nobody, I ain’t kill nobody

It wasn’t us, it was them

The Warriors, I’m a warrior and still don’t have to sho-gun

It takes one to know one, and no one can

Tell me how to be, 'cause I’mma be me, aight?

'Cause I’m a man, now check it

I love the way I am and can’t nobody out here change me

Sometimes, sometimes, I get a good feeling!

When I’m chillin' at the flat, lookin' at the wall

Wondering can I come off of it, I’m off a bit

On the mic I be talkin' shit

But some say my talk don’t make no Sense

I’m tryin' to make dollars

My momma told me to go to school and be a scholar

But school ain’t for me

So don’t even go there, I’m comin' out of nowhere to go where

Probably in about seven years, I won’t have no hair

But not only am I the Hair Club President, I’m also a client

I come off like a toupee, I still have to pay 2Pc Dark

A Raider that never Lost the Ark, on the shot

But now when I shoot rock, I be all out of breath

My boy Adefo wanted to be a chef

But he went down South, and fell in love, call me love

'Cause love is gonna getcha — I’mma getcha!

I’m like B.J., my Arm is Strong and I Stretch ya

Styles from East to West, all across the country

I’m like that big fat woman 'cause cats wanna bump me

I probably would get bumped more if I was a gangster

But I am a gangsta, call me the gangsta of love

I love my music, I love my momma

I love myself, I love you, and you love me

And this is, I’m out

Yo, I wanna say peace to my moms, my grandmomma

Lil Chandra, and John, yo rest in peace to my Aunt Stella

Rahsaan’s moms, Ron’s moms, Dawn’s moms, Corey’s moms

Who are you?

These people be themselves y’all, peace and love

(Repeat 4X)
