Half of y'all claim dog but now a light kitten

Flippin' on brothers just like Mary Lou Retton

Now I'm on Letterman, on the couch yo

The black thing with knives is called the back do'

Can't we be cool instead of being foul though

Ghetto child dreams of fast cars and fast dollars

Impressions of live sometimes makes ya holler

Scream all that devil shit and talk like a scholar

You dumb as a doorknob, and why do you bother

Top dog, puttin' it up, flick his balls

MC from now til I get a frown

Shake that ass girl because you world renowned

Wake up, look at the sun, see the sights

Bull duke, you've got to die for your rights

MC's, y'all got to work for the mic

Zombies, do it from dusk to the night

Rappers better retreat, fix your joints

My whole crew got bumps on they points

Addressing rumors and criticism, expressing indifference to negativity, and emphasizing the artist's dedication to performing and earning.

We can't rock shows and our rhymes ain't shh

Might not've heard it, or maybe you have

Used to get angry, used to get quite vexed

But say what you may, just cash my check

'Cause all I'm ever guilty of is going on tour

Doing shows galore, and bringin' it raw
