I could divide That's one every... let's say two; two of them sh**s was due One was "nah," the other was Illmatic That's a one-hot-album-every-10-year average And that's so (lame) n***a, switch up your flow Your sh** is garbage; what you trying to kick, knowledge? You n***as gonna learn to respect the king Don't be the next contestant on that Summer Jam screen Because you-know-who did you-know-what With you-know-who, but let's keep that between me and you [Hook] R.O.C., we running this rap sh** M Easy, we running this rap sh** The Broadstreet Bully, we running this rap sh** Get zipped up in plastic; when it happens, that's it Freeway, we running this rap sh** O & Sparks, we running this rap sh** Chris & Neef, we running this rap sh** ("Watch out!
