01 The Ringer

[00:05.08] Yo

[00:08.09] Yo, I'm just gonna write down my first thoughts and see where this takes me. 'Cause I feel like I wanna punch the world in the fuckin' face right now

[00:19.36] Yeah, let me explain just how to make greatness

[00:22.10] Straight out the gate, I'm 'bout to break you down

[00:23.84] Ain't no mistakes allowed, but make no mistake I'm 'bout

[00:26.34] To rape the alphabet, I may raise some brows

[00:28.34] If I press the issue just to get the anger out (blllt)

[00:30.59] Full magazine could take Staples out

[00:32.35] Savage but ain't thinking 'bout no bank account

[00:34.33] But bitch I'm off the chain like Taylor Brown

[00:36.59] Motherfucker, shut the fuck up when I'm talkin', lil' bitch

[00:39.59] I'm sorry, wait, what's your talent? Oh, critiquin'

[00:42.60] My talent? Oh, bitch I don't know who the fuck y'all are

[00:45.34] To give a sub-par bar

[00:46.59] Even have an opinion if you, you mention me

[00:49.34] Millions of views, attention the news

[00:51.09] I mention you, lose-lose for me, win-win for you

[00:54.10] Billions of views, your ten cents are two

[00:56.35] Skim through the music to give a shit reviews

[00:58.34] To get clicks, but bitch, you just lit the fuse

[01:00.84] Don't get misconstrued, business as us'

[01:02.60] Shit-list renewed, so get shit to do

[01:04.60] Or get dissed 'cause I just don't get what the fuck half the shit is that you're listening t-to

[01:08.33] Do you have any idea how much I hate this choppy flow

[01:11.09] Everyone copies though? Probably no

[01:12.35] Get this fuckin' audio out my Audi, yo, adios

[01:14.85] I can see why people like Lil Yachty, but not me though

[01:17.09] Not even dissin', it just ain't for me

[01:19.10] All I am simply is just an emcee

[01:21.35] Maybe "Stan" just isn't your cup of tea

[01:23.35] Maybe your cup's full of syrup and lean

[01:25.35] Maybe I need to stir up shit, preferably shake the world up if it were up to me

[01:29.09] Paul wants me to chill, y'all want me to ill

[01:31.59] I should eat a pill, probably I will

[01:33.35] Old me kill the new me, watch him bleed to death

[01:35.60] I breathe on the mirror, I don't see my breath

[01:37.34] Possibly I'm dead, I must be possessed

[01:39.59] Like an evil spell, I'm E-V-I-L (evil, but spelled)

[01:43.10] Jam a Crest white strip in the tip of my dick with an ice pick

[01:45.59] Stick it in a vice grip, hang it on a spike fence

[01:47.60] Bang it with a pipe wrench

[01:48.85] While I take my ballsack and flick it like a light switch

[01:50.60] Like vice-president Mike Pence

[01:52.09] Back up on my shit in a sidekick as I lay it on a spike strip

[01:54.35] These are things that I'd rather do than hear you on a mic

[01:57.85] Since nine-tenths of your rhyme is about ice and

[01:59.60] Jesus Christ man, how many times is someone gonna fuck on my bitch? (Fuck my side chick!)

[02:03.85] You will never see Em icy, but as cold as I get on the M-I-C

[02:07.61] I polarize shit so the Thames might freeze

[02:09.60] And your skull might split like I bashed you upside it

[02:12.10] Bitch I got the club on smash like a nightstick (yeah)

[02:15.09] Turn down for what? I ain't loud enough

[02:16.58] Nah, turn the valium up

[02:19.07] 'Cause I don't know how I'm gonna get your mouths to shut now

[02:20.10] When it doesn't matter what caliber I spit at

[02:22.10] I'll bet a hundred thousand bucks you'll just turn around and just be like

[02:25.09] "Man, how the fuck sourpuss gonna get mad just 'cause his album sucks and now he wants to take it out on us?" (ooh)

[02:32.10] But last week, an ex-fan mailed me a copy of The Mathers LP to tell me to study

[02:36.10] It'll help me get back to myself and she'll love me (ooh)

[02:38.60] I mailed the bitch back and said if I did that

[02:42.34] I'd just be like everyone else in the fucking industry

[02:44.59] Especially an effing Recovery clone of me

[02:48.34] So finger-bang, chicken wang, MGK, Iggy ‘zae

[02:50.34] Lil Pump, Lil Xan imitate Lil Wayne

[02:51.84] I should aim at everybody in the game, pick a name

[02:55.09] I'm fed up with being humble

[02:56.10] And rumor is I'm hungry

[02:57.09] I'm sure you heard bumblings

[02:58.09] I heard you wanna rumble like an empty stomach

[02:59.85] I heard your mumbling but it's jumbled in mumbo-jumbo

[03:01.85] The era that I'm from will pummel you

[03:03.34] That's what it's comin' to

[03:04.35] What the fuck are you gonna do, where you runnin' to?

[03:05.09] I'm gonna crumble you and I'll take a number two

[03:05.84] And dump on you if you ain't Joyner

[03:06.83] If you ain't Kendrick or Cole

[03:08.84] Or Sean then you're a goner

[03:10.09] I'm 'bout to bring it to anyone in this bitch who want it

[03:11.85] I guess when you walk into BK, you expect a Whopper

[03:14.09] You can order a quarter pounder when you go to McDonald's

[03:16.08] But if you're lookin' to get a porterhouse you better go get Revival

[03:18.08] But y'all are acting like I tried to serve you up a slider

[03:20.10] Maybe the vocals should have been auto-tuned and you would have bought it

[03:22.09] But sayin' I no longer got it 'cause you missed the line and never caught it

[03:24.09] 'Cause it went over your head, because you're too stupid to get it

[03:26.61] 'Cause you're mentally retarded but pretend to be the smartest

[03:28.58] With your expertise and knowledge, but you'll never be an artist

[03:30.60] And I'm harder on myself than you could ever be, regardless

[03:32.58] What I'll never be is flawless, all I'll ever be is honest

[03:34.86] Even when I'm gone they're gonna say I brought it

[03:36.35] Even when I hit my forties like a fuckin' alcoholic

[03:38.10] With a bottle full of malt liquor

[03:39.59] But I couldn't bottle this shit any longer

[03:40.60] The fact that I know that I'ma hit my bottom if I don't

[03:41.84] Pull myself from the jaws of defeat

[03:43.60] And rise to my feet

[03:45.37] I don't see why y'all even started with me

[03:46.59] I get impeached

[03:47.84] My enemies die

[03:48.85] I don't ceasefire till at least all are deceased

[03:49.59] I'm eastside, never be caught slippin'

[03:52.34] Now you see why I don't sleep

[03:53.60] Not even a wink, I don't blink

[03:55.08] I don't doze off, I don't even nod to the beats

[03:56.85] I don't even close my fuckin' eyes when I sneeze

[03:59.10] "Aw, man!

[04:01.35] That BET cypher was weak, it was garbage

[04:02.85] The Thing ain't even orange

[04:04.10] Oh my God, that's a reach"

[04:05.34] Shout to all my colorblind people

[04:07.10] Each and every one of y'all

[04:08.34] If you call a fire engine green, aquamarine

[04:09.60] Or you think water is pink

[04:11.34] "Dawg, that's a date"

[04:13.35] "Looks like an olive to me"

[04:14.34] "Look, there's an apple"

[04:14.85] "No it's not, it's a peach!"

[04:16.59] So finger-bang, Pootie Tang, Burger King, Gucci Gang,

[04:18.35] Charlamagne gonna hate anyway

[04:19.60] Doesn't matter what I say

[04:21.35] Give me Donkey of the Day

[04:22.60] What a way for 2018 to get underway

[04:23.58] But I'm gonna say everything that I wanna say

[04:25.85] Welcome to the slaughterhouse, bitch! (yeah)

[04:29.35] Invite them in like a one a day

[04:31.34] I'm not done (preach)

[04:32.59] 'Cause I feel like the beast of burden

[04:33.59] That line in the sand, was it even worth it?

[04:35.35] 'Cause the way I see people turnin'

[04:37.10] Is makin' it seem worthless

[04:38.11] It's startin' to defeat the purpose

[04:39.59] I'm watchin' my fan base shrink to thirds

[04:41.58] And I was just trying to do the right thing, but word

[04:43.83] Has the court of public opinion reached a verdict

[04:45.59] Or still yet to be determined?

[04:47.34] 'Cause I'm determined to be me, critique the worship

[04:49.59] But if I could go back, I'd at least reword it

[04:51.85] And say I empathize with the people this evil serpent sold the dream to that he's deserted

[04:55.59] But I think it's workin'

[04:58.09] These verses are makin' him a wee bit nervous

[04:59.85] And he's too scared to answer me with words

[05:01.86] 'Cause he knows that he will
