[verse one: kardinal offishall] Aiyyo, I used to be in love with this thing called rap But fuck it, 90 percent of these niggaz spittin is wack (yeah) So I treat it like how I met it, way back in '83 Tried to destroy every other microphone that I see These, we the peons and old man actin Like they 16 with the tight jeans saggin Clothes lookin like bootleg dapper dan from the corner of canal Let me show you 'bout style I could, rock a outfit for less than three bucks And still scoop all of you women from the rudebwoy talk You could be, blind and deaf and walkin with a crutch Just say "one two" - ah watch the crowd get pumped Got the, perfect answer for what y'all need Right before you go to the club with a 20 sack of weed We don't really give a fuck about who ain't scared Cause I be livin in the hood and trust it, they ain't there (yeah) All my niggaz pour heavy cause, we don't care Stay low to the streets cause there's shots in the air And I could give a fuck about your top ten hit Cause I ain't bendin my ass over for shit, trust it (c'mon!)
[chorus] Aiyyo, cars and cribs it don't mean shit, uh-huh My niggaz hustlin for that green shit, uh-huh We ease back with that weak-ass crew We ain't hatin we just don't like you, uh-huh Playtime comes after paper, uh-huh Plenty of time for chicks later, uh-huh We ease back with that weak-ass crew We ain't hatin we just don't like you, my nigga
[verse two: kardinal offishall] Aiyyo, big-up these rap stars wearin they lipstick Cause it makes it easier to see who on my dick I got time to make money, respect and rip shit Make weight with 8-0-8's, take it and flip shit The only thing you flippin is powder from bisquick And you can scream it louder but it still doesn't mean shit I'm comin with that mean shit, but yo I'm a cool dude And I'm not a hater, I just don't like you All the hype writers ain't spreadin in my crew Victoria told your +secret+, we "see-through" you (yeah) East coast, west coast, dirty south Need to harness what a nigga leakin outta the mouth If you listen to your girl you'll see what it's about 90 percent stroke, and 10 percent clout 25 percent looks, ain't none of it luck Cause I get more than a hundred when I'm fuckin shit up
