Lyrics:

[Verse 1: joell ortiz]
No I don't respond with answers that fit a script
So the repitition will make a nigga flip
We in the game of smokin mirrors
Those engineering a bigger spliff
Blowin circles out they mouth gettin praise but the shit is shift
I never lived a myth if I said it I did it
Never alleged word to dead I gripped da fif
I made my housing tenament a strip
Movin' medicine in nicks
When I seen 'em comin' I jetted from them pricks
And still to this day though she clean I wish my mommy never sniffed
But the hurt is makin' me betta with this gift
I'm live with this ink
U could die in a blink an
Ya'll got the nerve to ask me why do I drink an
Motherfuckers sometimes I cry when I'm think'n
Ya'll ain't there when them tears bein' dried by the sink
It was cold in the winter
My community centers who gave me dinner
I aind mind my table chairs gave me splinters
Set up to be a loser but was made to be a winner
If they paint hip hop I bet my face be in the picture
If they wrote a rap bible bet my name be in the scriptures
If shorty say I'm her idol bet her face be in my zipper
I came a long way from the staples in my skrilla
Stains on my pants hardly had a cut
The ladies ain't wanna dance so house parties would suck
All my friends on the wall I'm in the hall with a cup
Nah I ain't complain'n just tellin' ya'll what it is
So if ya'll goin thru it now just know that anotha kid
Made somethin' outta nothin' well I'm frontin' I was never nothin'
Older ladies used to tell my mother ain't he somethin'
I look at a lot of u cats an laugh
Cause I'm the shit man an ya'll ain't even passin' gas
When I spit I'm the definition of mastered craft
An all ya'll ask about is aftermath
Motherfucker move on...

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: joe budden]
I gotta give my own interview
Since niggas that do my interviews
Focus on wutevas miniscule
An paint me as a cynical
But the canvas will limit you
You can't go beyond what there's no limit to
If I think hip hop is dead I think it's bein' revived
An that comes from me bein' inside
Where the demons get by see 'em goodbye
If I'm vehement heres why
Come from hearin' it seein' ve-nom-ous lies
So the beast in me cries cause when it's all u hear
Shit can over-bear just when the over in air
So I try to think straight cause when u stare in the rear
Rest in peace stewart shakir nigga yea
I'm on anotha label not that other label
That mean it's no longer my problem it's theirs
Some say it's a conspirc'
I say if erybodys on the thrown that's just more motive to kill the heir
Ask me bout pump it up an I'm a think u sheep
Oh u must not know I'm deep
I'm so off of music so ya'll can soundscan every week
Me I just got my lil man every week
Jersey city loves me despite ya'll beliefs
Cause they was baby steppin' I showed 'em how 2 leep
Ask me about swagg I'm a change tha topic
To lyrics an than brag
Plus look at u like a fag
I luv erybody don't ask bout who I beef with
They burnt tha bridge but they was standin' underneath it
I'm on my grind benjamin huntin'
Was old since I was young call me benjamin button
Stop using slang just 4 u 2 be cool
Cause I go back 2 when it was cool 2 be u
I'm a hero no I mean I'm hiro from heroes
Ya'll chase zeros
Mahfukka I just got finished hatin' me feelin' like a zero
They played de niro never been there though
So before your next thought understand
Know it's much more 2 me than a man
Either that or move on...

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: royce da 5'9']
My rhymes reflection is scarface an prem's soul
Before jordan was wearin' four five
I just look like this I just seemed old
But I had to bleed the blood of a dirty motherfucker
To suffer clean clothes an touch what a king holds
The real estate market is harsh everything goes
From folds to who u was doin' everything for
But I cut 'em off an move on to the new checks
New friends chasin' my new endz with new threats
Watchin' my dreams fold like a stack of bills
In the pocket of who ain't tryin' to push up daffodils
But we the super group u could'nthandle this shit
If u were standin' before us carryin' the pooper scoop
U dealt with shady shit? I dealt with shady's shit
But I'm the only one can trully say I dealt with shady's shit
I mean that with all respect to paul an sheck
But ryan an marshall is all u get
My flows superb I luv pauly rosenberg
What I say in a track those just words
Baby boy forgive me I'm just street
Cause I can change into anything niggas want me to be
Like mystique I don't gotta dig deep
To realize slim baught big proof a big jeep
Because he deserved it
How can I mourn the same way shady did
Over him when he knew him when he attended osbourne
Marshall I'm sorry I knew it went left
I ain't into fuckin' my family like incest
If u remember ice used to be my lifes interest
Tell hailie my wife just had a princess
Since I made up with em there's nothin' else
That I can move on from so who wants some
Like a jar of grey poupon
U have to ask anybody in any car
Want it or move on...

[Chorus]

[Verse 4: crooked I]
When fans picture my interviews
They think I'm in a swimmin' pool
With women who've been abused
So they turn into strippers
Makin they livin' in the nude
One in the middle blowin' my inner tube
While the interviewers gettin ridiculed
Is this your vision cool
Let me give u a little jewel
Any dude who wanna sit n my tennis shoes is missin screwz
Don't get it misconstrued
Don't get tha shit confused
I'm 2 seconds from prison food I'm a different dude
Pistol in my reach man
Still in long beach man
Hoping if my grind don't help me get out my speech can
I been in the streets longer than yao mings wingspan
U can be mtv I'll be cspan
I deal with politics bandanas and hollow tips
Half u rappers follow this
Role models can swallow dick
Was stressed out over cashflow
Hiphop used 2 console my soul
Now it's a bunch of assholes
Rap about and dance while I'm targeting cops
Spit sum shit 4 oscar grant hit tha seargent with shots
Make him a ghost like he part of tha lox
I won't stop recordin' till I'm makin songs harder than pac's
If it don't happen at least a nyggah know he right there
Every memory under my dodger hats a nightmare
As a kid I had 2 steal breakfast
An now tha best question u have 2 ask me
Is this a real necklace
Wheres ya beat from dre ya feature from cube
These things leave people confused
Cause they know I leave speakers abused I eat tha eq's
I eat thru tha beat what's tha secret I think it's tha shoes
Out in cali nyggahs blaze an stress
Waitin' on detox 2 save tha west
Even if tha shit is dope
It ain't givin u nyggahs hope
Unless your signatures wrote on tha check from interscope... nope
