He said "Im here to see uh Mr.Goldstien" She said "Right now he cant be seen" So he tried t walk past her and ignore it Then she grabbed his shirt like "Nah I could sign for it" So he gave her the clip board Then acted like he was pullin a pen Out of his uniform But a rag full of chloroform Then placed over her face The b**h was knocked out slid her fat a** Under the desk just in case no time to waste He went into the Big Man's office As soon as Goldstien seen Mike face He knew something was going on So he reached for the phone Just as Mike expected So he healed up the end of the cord To show him that that sh** was disconnected He connected with a knife to his wind pipe Now he couldn't scream for his life He said none of this had to happened If you would've treated your artists right Trying to pimp my peoples art Never giving us a equal part But I was peepin your plan from the start It was never to see us be young black and rich Y'all wanted to be the only muthaf**ers Stacking chips that fool looked like he was honna have himself a heart attack and sh** But Mike stepped back and stabbed him in the heart with the pen he signed his contract with, aint that a b**h I heard that fool moved to Morocco or some sh**
