[Intro: KRS One] I'm a man! Step over here, I'll give you two in your head! That's what I'm talking about Now, that's where hip-hop comes from (Da-da-da-Dave-O make me a slap) [Verse] Dear XXL, you know I had to vote for myself The one that's causing all the ruckus and hell Drop a hundred in shells n***as ain't got a story to tell We made it here without a sponsor or deal Do acknowledge i'm ill Who can function with the fella for real? Line him up and watch his noodles get spilled We ain't new to this here Independent clean tickets to share Shooter riding shotgun, hooker b**h in the rear Yeah, I see progression when I look at the mirror Look at your magazine and all the freshmens is queers Cypher was dry as f**, that ain't something you air And the politics make it unfair Supposed to been on that cover Look at all the trash get on that cover Half these n***as s** dick undercover Dear XXL, no doubt about it, yeah, the streets will prevail Had a dream about the sh** in my cell Tired of taking them Ls Collect call, fundraising for bail Came from nothing, ain't no way I can fail They nominated me, mama Rap n***as better not play me, mama Brought the whole gang land with me momma One up top in this llama We causing problems for that mumbling sh** Autotuning, all that humming and sh** We don't f** with that sh** Causing problems for that mumbling and sh** Auto-tuning, all that humming and sh**! Look what I brung in this sh**, n***a!
