[00:22.95] Better than me? That's rubble

[00:24.69] You want trouble? What's up, dawg?

[00:26.19] Feelings hot to kill a top guerilla

[00:27.70] Drop and kneel to pops, I grilled the opp

[01:02.95] Run up, get a combo, quickly help you understand but stay humble

[01:06.20] Don't nobody wanna talk about the way of the world

[01:07.69] The weight of the world'll make 'em all crumble

[01:09.19] And I might stumble, but I pick myself up, brush myself off, my thoughts of a goddamn boss

[01:12.44] I am at they neck like I'm Malcolm X, like I'm Dr. King, like I'm Cornell West

[01:14.96] Like I'm Huey P., like I'm Booker T., like I'm Rosa Parks, I'ma need my rest

[01:18.20] Niggas know what I'm 'bout, I'll run up in yo' house

[01:20.20] Feet up all on your couch, sock you right in your mouth

[01:21.44] I ain't after no clout, it could really go south

[01:22.94] I'm prepared to go to battle whenever there is a bout

[01:24.44] I am Muhammad, Ali, I'm payin' the homage, policy is to be honest

[01:27.46] I take it beyond it though, I can relate to ebonics and really I hate to be ominous

[01:30.19] All of your hate is too obvious, I am the hustle, the muscle, I play for the audience

[01:33.20] I am a gangster with knowledge, if you wanna enter the ring, I would hate to be opposite

[01:36.20] Jab with the right, jab with the left, jab with the right, now you got 'em all staggerin'

[02:01.69] Based off the description I gave

[02:02.69] Cut the game off, I'm a Street Fighter

[02:04.19] Beat breaks off like the whip on the stage

[02:05.20] Hand out, ass whippings my plate

[02:07.29] Haters ate off, yeah, get Hitler a steak

[02:08.79] It'll be chaos like a emerald chase

[02:10.29] When I face off in a Nicolas Cage

[02:11.86] Yeah, I'm living in rage

[02:12.86] Punch a pussy nigga like I'm fistin' his babe

[02:14.36] I was sittin' in the 'spital, goin' mental

[02:15.44] Doc had told me they'll forget me, but they didn't, I remember them days

[02:18.25] And I don't wanna be Batman, nigga, I'm Bane

[02:18.75] Literally how the venom enters my veins

[02:20.00] Since a little one, Killa really been sick in the brain

[02:21.49] And the more I think about it, my life was twisted (wait)

[02:22.99] Reminiscing on when mom and dad would wonder

[02:23.99] Why they couldn't reach 'em, like they didn't have my number

[02:25.75] Fighting for my sanity, I never had it hunger

[02:27.49] Put a nigga under ground quick, that's a bunker

[02:29.24] Shock 'em like I'm Master's brother

[02:30.84] Better pick your battles, busters halfway under

[02:32.34] Hit more times than acupuncture

[02:33.84] When it comes to rumbling, I'm Afro thunder

[02:35.35] Really it be funny when I kick it to you dummies

[02:36.35] How I'm grippin' on this iron when I'm rhyming on the mic

[02:37.91] Because it really will get bloody like I'm kicking it with buddies

[02:39.16] When I beat a nigga up like I was Iron nigga Mike

[02:40.41] I tell 'em they don't wanna tussle when I'm at 'em, they gon' drop

[02:42.16] Bet you that he stumble when I jab 'em then I cross

[03:03.60] Black and Samoan in my veins

[03:05.35] My culture bangin' with Strange

[03:06.60] I change the game, so what's my motherfuckin' name (Rock)
