[Verse 1: Problem]
[?] on Compton concretes
R&B singers coming on fine sheets
[?], sparkling wines
Conceited hustle, obnoxious grind
Like gimme that b**h, gimme that
Like gimme that b**h, gimme that
All biz, never personal
Big bands, no rehearsal though
Showtime no cable box
The independent that all of the major labels watch
Grade us, an*lyze
Channel check, our revolution is televised
Hard days, long nights
Penitentiary chances, f** it it's all light
Sit and thinking sorry mama, throw you clowns a couple dollars, y'all
Before you holla at a real n***a
[Verse 2: Bad Lucc]
Bad Lucc, grown man, full time, real n***a
Eyes that's against them it's intricate what I lived through
Dip my raps in acid and [?]
Walk with the illest, spark with my brothers it's [?]
Back and forth [?] peep your design
Studied all the legends, I'm soul attacking my G
Mos Def I'm a black star, ask Talib Kweli
Go insane Jack, I run it from way back
Duck Down, bust a shot now they want us to rain back
How did you do it, thuggin on dolo
Cash under a polo, tell a story of a young kid, wish as clear as a photo
Uh, like gimme that b**h, gimme that
Uh, like gimme that b**h, gimme that
You learned your lesson for holding out on a king
I pay my dues with blood and sweat and a diamond ring
[Verse 3: Talib Kweli]
Make the check out to Talib Kweli, esquire
You n***as ain't the best rappers y'all the best liars
You soft as summer rain, how you gonna bang
With the Clubber Lang, you gotta slang
Pay ya dues, n***a
I take it back like gimme that, gimme that
You f**ing kidding, not cutting these n***as any slack
My hustle and flow allow me to pimp any track
You get whipped with your own pistol you skinny black
These n***as squeaking like sneaker soles on ball courts
I'm all [?] to civilise the savages on all fours
With sh** you never thought of
The f**ing phlegm I cough up is more rough than your stuff
Your little orphan Annie, I'm Daddy Warbucks rising across the battlefield on a war horse
My existence is your loss, all this b**h sh** is your fault
You scavengers, pa**engers riding shotgun
Sort of caught off guard, get on your job n***a
