HaSo I’m out the game, huh? (Huh, huh)Yo, Dre, we ridin’?Whatever, hahaWell, I’m with you, homieOkay, let’s handle the small shit
I was born to brew up storms, stir up shitKick up dust, cuss ’til I slur up spitGrew up too quick, went through too muchKnew too much shit, corruptAnd I’ma pour it on like syrup, bitchThick and rich, sick and twisted, Mr. ButtersworthDre told me to milk this shit for what it’s worth‘Til the cow just tilts and tips and stumbles to EarthAnd if I fumble a verse, keep goingFirst take, I make mistakes, just keep itNo punches pulled, no punches, that’s weak shitFake shit, if I ever take shit, I’ll eat shitWasn’t for him, wouldn’t be shit
Creep with me, as we take a little trip down memory laneBeen here longer than anyone in the gameAnd I ain’t got to lie about my age(But what about Jermaine?) Fuck JermaineHe don’t belong speaking mine or Timbaland’s nameAnd don’t think I don’t read your little interviewsAnd see what you’re sayin’I’m a giant, and I ain’t gotta move ’til I’m provokedWhen I see you, I’ma step on you and not even know itYou midget, mini-me with a bunch of little mini-yousRunning around your backyard swimming poolsOver 80 million records soldAnd I ain’t have to do it with ten or eleven-year-olds
‘Cause what you say is what you saySay what you say how you say it whenever you sayin’ itJust remember how you said it when you was sprayin’ itSo who you playin’ with, huh? (Huh, huh, huh)
‘Cause what you say is what you saySay what you say how you say it whenever you sayin’ itJust remember how you said it when you was sprayin’ itSo who you playin’ with, huh? (Huh, huh, huh)
Second verse, it gets worse, it gets no better than thisAmateurs drink veteran piss from a Dixie cupIf you ever mix me upOr confuse me with a Canibus or Dre with a DupriWe’ll rub it in, every club you’re inWe’ll have you blackballedAnd make sure you never rap a-fuckin’-gainDre ain’t havin’ it, long as I’m here to play devil’s advocateIf there was some magic shit I could wave over the industryThat could save it when I’m gone and buriedTo make sure the tradition carries on, I wouldIf I could only use this power for goodI wouldn’t, not even if I couldFrom the hood, and I’m a hornetAnd I’ma only sting when I’m corneredAnd I’ma only sucker punch and swing without warningAnd swing to knock somebody’s fuckin’ head off‘Cause I know if they get upI won’t get a chance to let off another punchI’m punk rock, no one’s punkDon’t give a fuck, white Pac, so much spunkWhen I was little, I knew I would blow up and sell a mil’Or grow up to be Attila, go nuts and be a killerAnd I’m something of a phenom, one puff of the chron’I’m unstoppable, I’m alive and on top againThere’s no obstacle that I can’t conquerSo come along with us (c’mon)
‘Cause what you say is what you saySay what you say how you say it whenever you sayin’ itJust remember how you said it when you was sprayin’ itSo who you playin’ with, huh? (Huh, huh, huh)
‘Cause what you say is what you saySay what you say how you say it whenever you sayin’ itJust remember how you said it when you was sprayin’ itSo who you playin’ with, huh? (Huh, huh, huh)
Now anybody who knows DreKnows I’m about fast cars and Alizé, partyin’ all dayBut I handled my business, ’cause it’s work before playDon’t look for trouble, but I’ll serve you gourmetHowever you want it, you can have it your wayYou fuck my night up, I’ma fuck up your dayBullet with your name, sending it your wayThat goes for anyone who walks through that doorway‘Cause this is my space, you invade itLive to regret it, and you’ll die tryin’ to violate itFuck around, get annihilated, eyes dilatedHuh, like my old lady‘Cause what you say is what you saySometimes what you mean is two different thingsDepending on your mood if it swingsThink too many things, little hit of Dre’s weedI can do anything, catch a contact and I’m goneAnd I’m back, I speed writeAnd my loose leaf’s my launchpadAnd I can pull any string, don’t have to prove anythingCatch a contract on your headYou headed West, talk shit about DreYou better get a vest and investIn something to protect your head and neckAnd it’s back and forth all day, like Red and MethI joke when I say I’m the best in the boothBut a lot of truth is said in jestAnd if I ever do live to be a legend, I’ma die a sudden deathFive mics in The Source? Ain’t holding my fucking breathBut I’ll suffocate for the respect‘Fore I breathe to collect a fucking check
‘Cause what you say is what you saySay what you say how you say it whenever you sayin’ itJust remember how you said it when you was sprayin’ itSo who you playin’ with, huh? (Huh, huh, huh)
‘Cause what you say is what you saySay what you say how you say it whenever you sayin’ itJust remember how you said it when you was sprayin’ itSo who you playin’ with, huh? (Huh, huh, huh)
Watch your fucking mouth
Yo, this Timbaland, tell him I said suck my dick
