So Im out the game, huh?
Yo, Dre, we ridin?
Whatever
Haha, well, Im with you, homie
Okay, lets handle the small shit
I was born to brew up storms, stir up shit
Kick up dust, cuss til I slur up spit
Grew up too quick, went through too much
Knew too much shit, corrupt
And Ima pour it on like syrup, bitch
Thick and rich, sick and twisted, Mr. Buttersworth
Dre told me to milk this shit for what its worth
Til the cow just tilts and tips and stumbles to Earth
And if I fumble a verse, keep going
First take I make, mistakes, just keep it
No punches pulled, no punches, thats weak shit
Fake shit, if I ever take shit Ill eat shit
Wasnt for him, wouldnt be shit
Creep with me as we take a little trip down memory lane
Been here longer than anyone in the game
And I aint got to lie about my age
(But what about Jermaine?) Fuck Jermaine!
He dont belong speaking mine or Timbalands name
And dont think I dont read your little interviews
And see what youre sayin
Im a giant, and I aint gotta move til Im provoked
When I see you, Ima step on you and not even know it
You midget, mini-me with a bunch of little mini-yous
Running around your backyard swimming pools
Over 80 million records sold
And I aint have to do it with ten- or eleven-year-olds
Cause what you say is what you say
Say what you say how you say it whenever you saying it
Just remember how you said it when you was spraying it
So who you playing with, huh?
Cause what you say is what you say
Say what you say how you say it whenever you saying it
Just remember how you said it when you was spraying it
So who you playing with, huh?
Second verse, it gets worse, it gets no better than this
Amateurs drink veteran piss from a Dixie cup
If you ever mix me up
Or confuse me with a Canibus or Dre with a Dupri
Well rub it in, every club youre in
Or have you blackballed
And make sure you never rap a-fucking-gain
Dre aint having it, long as Im here to play devils advocate
If there was some magic shit I could wave over the industry
That could save it when Im gone and buried
To make sure the tradition carries on, I would
If I could only use this power for good
I wouldnt, not even if I could
From the hood, and Im a hornet
And Ima only sting when Im cornered
And Ima only sucker punch and swing without warning
And swing to knock somebodys fucking head off
Cause I know if they get up
I wont get a chance to let off another punch
Im punk rock, no ones punk
Dont give a fuck, white-Pac, so much spunk
When I was little I knew I would blow up and sell a mil
Or grow up to be Attilla, go nuts and be a killer
And Im something of a phenom, one puff of the chron
Im unstoppable, Im alive and on top again
Theres no obstacle that I cant conquer
So come along with us (cmon!)
Cause what you say is what you say
Say what you say how you say it whenever you saying it
Just remember how you said it when you was spraying it
So who you playing with, huh?
Cause what you say is what you say
Say what you say how you say it whenever you saying it
Just remember how you said it when you was spraying it
So who you playing with, huh?
Now anybody who knows Dre
Knows Im about fast cars and Alizé, partying all day
But I handled my business, cause its work before play
Dont look for trouble, but Ill serve you gourmet
However you want it, you can have it your way
You fuck my night up, Ima fuck up your day
Bullet with your name, sending it your way
That goes for anyone who walks through that doorway
Cause this is my space, you invade it
Live to regret it, and youll die trying to violate it
Fuck around, get annihilated, eyes dilated
Huh, like my old lady
Cause what you say is what you say
Sometimes what you mean is two different things
Depending on your mood if it swings
Think too many things, little hit of Dres weed
I can do anything, catch a contact and Im gone
And Im back, I speed write
And my loose leafs my launchpad
And I can pull any string, dont have to prove anything
Catch a contract on your head
You headed West, talk shit about Dre
You better get a vest and invest
In something to protect your head and neck
And its back and forth all day, like Red and Meth
I joke when I say Im the best in the booth
But a lot of truth is said in jest
And if I ever do live to be a legend Ima die a sudden death
Five mics in The Source? Aint holding my fucking breath
But Ill suffocate for the respect
Fore I breathe to collect a fucking check
Cause what you say is what you say
Say what you say how you say it whenever you saying it
Just remember how you said it when you was spraying it
So who you playing with, huh?
Cause what you say is what you say
Say what you say how you say it whenever you saying it
Just remember how you said it when you was spraying it
So who you playing with, huh?
Watch your fucking mouth!
Yo, this Timbaland, tell him I said suck my dick!
