I autograph my cash and caught a cab

We on the map (map), back in New York City like a Dodger cap

Blu, smooth like blue suede shoes

I told my homie, improve, I'm Tim Allen with the tools

I built my booth, made of jewels, left a hole in the speaker

Stepped in the stu', no shoes, but got more soul than sneakers

Below the clouds holdin' the crown, a coconut smile

But on a humble, word to mumbles, all balls don't bounce

And yet, a thousand styles flip out when the DJ spins out

Hits out, spit back a hundred rounds

Pulled the clip off, the most dope

Niggas get roached tryna approach the host

We lay it down, yo, butterin' toast

And introduction to the pro, most fit

To hold his dick and spit

I load a clip to hit the list in his mitt

I invent too many patterns to pattern your path after

Tell them rappers that we got it mastered, yo

My whole team supreme, it's like a dream come true

I thought you new like the words to Brooklyn Zoo

How we cook the stu' (stu')

Homie my hook up might cut up, might hook your tooth, salute

The best of, niggas hear this and drop their best stuff

We next up, pop off the deck for your cassette bust

You couldn't blow it, Coltrane-in' them all

Playin' the funk but y'all need to be hangin' it up

You cats washed up, cuttin' with vets and got your paws plucked

Prison guards couldn't lock us, get your bars up

Bar none, nigga, J Barnes get the job done

We could be Siamese twins, still my squad won

My due, my rent late, I still pay dues

I'm too cool, too G, I sing the Ill Street Blues

Born in '83, still gettin' it in '82

And ain't a person on Earth who could fill these shoes

Ex, cut it (cut it)

The black trumpet (uh), you couldn't strum it (nah)

That instrumental hit, you in your stomach when you runnin' (runnin')

Crowds plummet tryna touch it (touch it)

The gold on it make you go out and crown somethin'

It's the best (best), the next in the West

Cover your chest like Muslims cover their neck

Truth seeker, summon my text, bar coastal for bifocals (uh)

It'll knock your trial over (trial over)

You tryna chop with the top chef (ayo), try over

Who rhyme colder from California? (Uh)

You catch pneumonia in the city that Biggie wrote rhymes over

Blow tweeters out speakers like Ether through your aethers, yeah

Eat up receivers with the signal, I'ma leave ya

It's the code of the street sweeper, the sleep, sleep

Deeper to the hair on my people, beatin' blocks with the single

I see you coverin' ass like Utah fans

But John Stockton couldn't pass talkin' all that jazz
