[00:04.750]Yeah (Illa, Illa, Illa)
[00:07.100]Yo, I'm just gonna write down my first thoughts, and see where this takes me
[00:14.470]'Cause I feel like I wanna punch the world in the ******' face right now
[00:18.990]Yeah
[00:20.420]Let me explain just how to make greatness
[00:22.170]Straight out the gate, I'm 'bout to break it down
[00:24.180]Ain't no mistakes allowed, but make no mistake, I'm 'bout
[00:26.480]To **** the alphabet, I may raise some brows
[00:28.630]If I press the issue just to get the anger out (Brrr!)
[00:31.000]Full magazine could take Staples out
[00:32.670]Savage but ain't thinkin' 'bout no bank account
[00:34.690]But *****, I'm off the chain like Kala Brown
[00:36.980]Mother******, shut the **** up when I'm talkin', lil' *****
[00:39.860]I'm sorry, wait, what's your talent? Oh, critiquin'
[00:42.890]My talent? Oh, *****, I don't know who the **** y'all are
[00:45.760]To give a sub-par bar or even have an opinion of you
[00:48.560]You mention me, millions of views, attention in news
[00:51.670]I mention you, lose-lose for me, win-win for you
[00:54.640]Billions of views, your ten cents are two
[00:56.630]Skim through the music to give **** reviews
[00:58.510]To get clicks, but *****, you just lit the fuse
[01:00.570]Don't get misconstrued, business as us'
[01:02.740]****-list renewed, so get **** to do
[01:04.600]Or get dissed 'cause I just don't get
[01:05.980]What the **** half the **** is that you're listenin' to
[01:08.460]Do you have any idea how much I hate this choppy flow
[01:10.870]Everyone copies though? Prob'ly no
[01:12.510]Get this ****in' audio out my Audi, yo, adiós
[01:14.970]I can see why people like Lil Yachty, but not me though
[01:17.420]Not even dissin', it just ain't for me
[01:19.460]All I am simply is just an emcee
[01:21.500]Maybe "Stan" just isn't your cup of tea (Get it?)
[01:23.540]Maybe your cup's full of syrup and lean
[01:25.520]Maybe I need to stir up ****, preferably
[01:27.610]Shake the world up if it were up to me
[01:29.540]Paul wants me to chill, y'all want me to ill
[01:31.820]I should eat a pill, probably I will
[01:33.700]Old me killed the new me, watch him bleed to death
[01:35.680]I breathe on the mirror, I don't see my breath
[01:37.750]Possibly I'm dead, I must be possessed
[01:39.840]Like an evil spell, I'm E-V-I-L ("Evil" spelled)
[01:43.020]Jam a Crest Whitestrip in the tip of my ****
[01:45.160]With an ice pick, stick it in a vise grip
[01:46.840]Hang it on a spike fence, bang it with a pipe wrench
[01:48.850]While I take my **** sack and flick it like a light switch
[01:50.940]Like Vice President Mike Pence
[01:52.450]Back up on my **** in a sidekick as I lay it on a spike strip
[01:55.690]These are things that I'd rather do than hear you on a mic
[01:57.700]Since nine tenths of your rhyme is about ice and
[02:00.050]Jesus Christ, man, how many times is
[02:01.540]Someone gonna **** on my *****? (**** my side chick!)
[02:04.290]You won't ever see Em icy
[02:05.830]But as cold as I get on the M-I-C
[02:07.890]I polarize ****, so the Thames might freeze
[02:09.820]And your skull might split like I bashed you upside it
[02:12.070]*****, I got the club on smash like a nightstick (Yeah)
[02:14.810]Turn down for what?
[02:15.810]I ain't loud enough, nah, turn the Valium up (Illa, Illa, Illa)
[02:17.920]'Cause I don't know how I'm gonna get your mouths to shut
[02:19.880]Now when it doesn't matter what caliber
[02:21.870]I spit at, I'll bet a hundred thousand bucks
[02:23.930]You'll turn around and just be like, "Man, how the ****
[02:25.990]Sourpuss gonna get mad just 'cause his album sucks?
[02:28.530]And now he wants to take it out on us" (Ooouuu)
[02:32.260]But last week, an ex-fan mailed me a copy
[02:34.270]Of The Mathers LP to tell me to study
[02:36.340]It'll help me get back to myself and she'll love me (Ooouuu)
[02:40.410]I mailed the ***** back and said if I did that
[02:42.500]I'd just be like everyone else in the ******' industry
[02:44.980]Especially an effing Recovery clone of me (NFing)
[02:48.070]So ******-bang, chicken wang, MGK, Igg' Azae'
[02:50.630]Lil Pump, Lil Xan imitate Lil Wayne
[02:52.640]I should aim at everybody in the game, pick a name
[02:54.890]I'm fed up with bein' humble
[02:56.140]And rumor is I'm hungry, I'm sure you heard rumblings
[02:58.150]I heard you wanna rumble like an empty stomach
[03:00.190]I heard your mumblin' but it's jumbled in mumbo-jumbo
[03:02.150]The era that I'm from will pummel you, that's what it's comin' to
[03:04.080]What the **** you're gonna do when you run into it?
[03:05.520]I'm gonna crumble you and I'll take a number two
[03:06.980]And dump on you, if you ain't Joyner
[03:08.260]If you ain't Kendrick or Cole or Sean, then you're a goner
[03:10.270]I'm 'bout to bring it to anyone in this ***** who want it
[03:12.260]I guess when you walk into BK you expect a Whopper
[03:14.370]You can order a Quarter Pounder when you go to McDonald's
[03:16.280]But if you're lookin' to get a porterhouse you better go get Revival
[03:18.450]But y'all are actin' like I tried to serve you up a slider
[03:20.430]Maybe the vocals should've been auto-tuned
[03:21.820]And you would've bought it
[03:22.500]But sayin' I no longer got it
[03:23.520]'Cause you missed a line and never caught it
[03:24.820]'Cause it went over your head, because you're too stupid to get it
[03:26.860]'Cause you're mentally retarded, but pretend to be the smartest
[03:28.920]With your expertise and knowledge, but you'll never be an artist
[03:30.860]And I'm harder on myself than you could ever be regardless
[03:32.840]What I'll never be is flawless, all I'll ever be is honest (Illa, Illa, Illa)
[03:34.980]Even when I'm gone they're gonna say I brought it
[03:36.500]Even when I hit my forties like a ******' alcoholic
[03:38.350]With a bottle full of malt liquor
[03:39.610]But I couldn't bottle this **** any longer
[03:41.020]The fact that I know that I'ma hit my bottom
[03:42.270]If I don't pull myself from the jaws of defeat and rise to my feet
[03:45.090]I don't see why y'all even started with me
[03:47.080]I get in beefs, my enemies die
[03:48.830]I don't cease fire 'til at least all are deceased
[03:50.870]I'm east side, never be caught slippin'
[03:52.770]Now you see why I don't sleep, not even a wink, I don't blink
[03:55.230]I don't doze off, I don't even nod to the beats
[03:57.270]I don't even close my ******' eyes when I sneeze
[04:00.190]"Aw, man! That BET cypher was weak, it was garbage
[04:02.860]The Thing ain't even orange— Oh my God, that's a reach!"
[04:05.760]Shout to all my colorblind people
[04:07.170]Each and everyone of y'all, if you call a fire engine green
[04:09.360]Aquamarine, or you think water is pink
[04:11.370]"Dawg, that's a date" — "Looks like an olive to me"
[04:13.360]"Look, there's an apple!" — "No, it's not, it's a peach!"
[04:16.470]So ******-bang, Pootie Tang
[04:17.770]Burger King, Gucci Gang, dookie, dang
[04:19.290]Charlamagne gonna hate anyway, doesn't matter what I say
[04:21.770]Give me Donkey of the Day
[04:22.790]What a way for 2018 to get underway
[04:24.770]But I'm gonna say everything that I wanna say
[04:27.250]Welcome to the slaughterhouse, *****! (Yeah)
[04:29.500]Invite 'em in like a One A Day
[04:31.040]I'm not done (Preach!)
[04:32.320]'Cause I feel like the beast of burden
[04:33.780]That line in the sand, was it even worth it?
[04:35.820]'Cause the way I see people turning's
[04:37.180]Makin' it seem worthless, it's startin' to defeat the purpose
[04:39.870]I'm watchin' my fan base shrink to thirds
[04:41.670]And I was just tryin' to do the right thing, but word
[04:43.760]Has the court of public opinion reached a verdict
[04:45.960]Or still yet to be determined?
[04:47.390]'Cause I'm determined to be me, critiqued or worshipped
[04:50.030]But if I could go back, I'd at least reword it
[04:52.040]And say I empathize with the people this evil serpent
[04:54.340]Sold the dream to that he's deserted
[04:56.880]But I think it's workin'
[04:57.970]These verses are makin' him a wee bit nervous
[04:59.990]And he's too scurred to answer me with words
[05:01.810]'Cause he knows that he will lyrically get murdered
[05:04.820]But I know at least he's heard it
[05:06.230]'Cause Agent Orange just sent the Secret Service
[05:08.080]To meet in person to see if I really think of hurtin' him
[05:10.770]Or ask if I'm linked to terrorists
[05:12.320]I said, "Only when it comes to ink and lyricists"
[05:15.080]But my beef is more media journalists
[05:17.380](Hold up, hold up, hold up)
[05:18.900]I said, my beef is more meaty, a journalist
[05:21.200]Can get a mouthful of flesh
[05:22.790]And yes, I mean eating a *****
[05:24.750]'Cause they've been pannin' my album to death
[05:26.870]So I've been givin' the media fingers
[05:28.720]Don't wanna turn this to a counseling sesh
[05:30.940]But they've been puttin' me through the ringer
[05:32.800]So I ain't ironin' **** out with the press
[05:35.020]But I just took this beat to the cleaners
