Got the tongue of a pimp, raised by a dirty preacher That used the church money to cop a new Beamer Got the heart of a child raised by a prostitute That bought his momma the rubbers when a John came through It's the microphone Methadone Greatest ever etched in stone You ain't getting p**y like your prom date had a chaperone Popping pills got a n***a brain like a labyrinth Called the ho on purpose but I got the brain on accident n***a I'm your majesty, show up with a bag of weed Rolled a blunt so perfect, thought it came up out a factory My man*script leave a man ripped of all his dreams The insomniac with nightmares in sixteens I'm a wet dream, dry sense of humor Travel in cla** like a high school rumor No one really cares if you embarra** us with style Cause when it comes to them raps you been letting us down So tell em why you're mad son Gotta get it off your chest Let em know how you feel son You gotta say what you say It don't matter, they gonna say a n***a hating anyway
