[Verse]: Man I'm sick, I'm on my d**h bed when I blink Sicker than being bit on your wrist by a venomous snake Sicker than guzzling down milk without checkin' the date Sicker than being locked in a cage with a treacherous ape Sicker than watchin' moms get high when you 7 or 8 Sicker than watchin' tempers flare when you tellin' 'em "Wait!" The gun "blam" one of your mans by that yellowish tape Sicker than huggin' his moms, knowin' you know who sped up his fate Sicker than a black woman's a** with a Mexican waist Philippine eyes, Indian hair, Ms. America's face Sicker than a heart condition with an irregular rate Sicker than the 60's comin' up black in a prejudice state And still preaching non violence around that negative hate "I have a dream" Sicker than a lawyer saying "That first offer, you better just take Your story lookin' so good but the evidence ain't." Sicker than lookin' at time longer than a measuring tape Who's a beast? I'm a beast, I was born in the belly I'm a beast and every beat I get on is unfriendly I'm a beast in the sheets, I get it on in the telly I'm a beast up in jail, on the horn like a celly I'm a beast in the street, y'all don't hear the name buzzin'? I'm a beast in the booth, every session I flame somethin' I'm a beast in the club, a few bottles it ain't nothin' I'm a beast every show and it's never the same cousin I'm a beast in the restaurant, every order is tough I'm a beast when the waitress takin' too long with my stuff I'm a beast in the hood, I ring like Mike & Ike I'm a beast in the whip, I whip like Michael Knight I'm a beast with the mix, I'm swift like Iron Mike The old one, not the new one, the new one just like to bite I'm a beast on the block, I'm there the entire night I'm a beast and only beasts run into that fire white Who's a problem? I'm a problem, y'all ain't solvin' sh** I'm a problem like when the trey pound revolver spit I'm a problem like a child, mother and fatherless Running away from group homes, not getting far for sh** I'm a problem like artists ain't properly marketed And the first week got 'em saying "But I worked hard for this." I'm a problem like approaching this music sh** half a** I'm a problem like a calculus question in math cla** I'm a problem like being drunk trying to run from the D's All out of breath so you decide to hide up under a V I'm a problem like that dreaded phone call from baby mama That always starts smooth but ends in that crazy drama I'm a problem like that rent money due that next day And garnishment and them n***as violated your net pay I'm a problem like N.Y. in the Deakin's era I'm a problem, more of a problem then you think, forever Who's the truth?

I'm hot, y'all don't feel the heat? I'm hotter than that black tar when they fixin' the street Hotter than a rap star with the fittest physique Hotter than hustlers gettin' knocked back on the strip in a week I'm hotter than them top models who stroll the runway I'm hotter than your grandmom's kitchen on Sunday I'm hotter than the area where a rhino slept I'm hotter than every neighborhood's wino's breath I'm hotter than the tires in a high speed chase on a highway I'm hotter than the first Friday I'm hotter than the cable box you watched it on In the hood, you let the cable men knock till they gone I'm hotter than the inside of some real good a** I'm hotter than a fiend's stem on a real good blast I'm hotter than the first scoop of Chinese rice I'm hotter than a lot of men you think might be nice Who's nice?

Who's fire? I'm fire, see the fire in my eyes? I'm more fire than what's under a drug lords pie In a remote location where they mix down the fuego More fire than a few years back down in Waco More fire than you coppin' Tim's Pair of fatigues, rough hoodie over the fitted and you drop the brim More fire than this joint that I rock with Gin More fire than what it took to drop the Twins More fire than a dope spot, constantly in and out More fire than what an active volcano be spittin' out More fire than sleep, droppin' a cigarette in the couch I'm more fire than what come out the front of Godzilla mouth More fire than a drag racer car when it drives off More fire than what be in the sky on July 4th More fire than a service would have a on a red star More fire than a pa** from the arm of Brett Farve Who's hard?
