Lyrics:

So I’m out the game, huh?
Yo, Dre, we ridin’?
Whatever
Haha, well, I’m with you, homie
Okay, let’s 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 I’ma pour it on like syrup, bitch
Thick and rich, sick and twisted, Mr. Buttersworth
Dre told me to milk this shit for what it’s 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, that’s weak shit
Fake shit, if I ever take shit I’ll eat shit
Wasn’t for him, wouldn’t be shit

Creep with me as we take a little trip down memory lane
Been here longer than anyone in the game
And I ain’t got to lie about my age
(But what about Jermaine?) F*ck Jermaine!
He don’t belong speaking mine or Timbaland’s name
And don’t think I don’t read your little interviews
And see what you’re sayin’
I’m a giant, and I ain’t gotta move ’til I’m provoked
When I see you, I’ma 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 ain’t 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
We’ll rub it in, every club you’re in
Or have you blackballed
And make sure you never rap a-f*cking-gain
Dre ain’t having it, long as I’m here to play devil’s advocate
If there was some magic shit I could wave over the industry
That could save it when I’m gone and buried
To make sure the tradition carries on, I would
If I could only use this power for good
I wouldn’t, not even if I could
From the hood, and I’m a hornet
And I’ma only sting when I’m cornered
And I’ma only sucker punch and swing without warning
And swing to knock somebody’s f*cking head off
‘Cause I know if they get up
I won’t get a chance to let off another punch
I’m punk rock, no one’s punk
Don’t give a f*ck, 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 I’m something of a phenom, one puff of the chron’
I’m unstoppable, I’m alive and on top again
There’s no obstacle that I can’t conquer
So come along with us (c’mon!)

‘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 I’m about fast cars and Alizé, partying all day
But I handled my business, ’cause it’s work before play
Don’t look for trouble, but I’ll serve you gourmet
However you want it, you can have it your way
You f*ck my night up, I’ma f*ck 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 you’ll die trying to violate it
F*ck 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 Dre’s weed
I can do anything, catch a contact and I’m gone
And I’m back, I speed write
And my loose leaf’s my launchpad
And I can pull any string, don’t 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 it’s back and forth all day, like Red and Meth
I joke when I say I’m the best in the booth
But a lot of truth is said in jest
And if I ever do live to be a legend I’ma die a sudden death
Five mics in The Source? Ain’t holding my f*cking breath
But I’ll suffocate for the respect
‘Fore I breathe to collect a f*cking 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 f*cking mouth!
Yo, this Timbaland, tell him I said suck my dick!
