The Ringer

[00:05.25] Yeah, 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

[00:19.20] Yeah, let me explain just how to make greatness

[00:22.15] Straight out the gate, I'm 'bout to break you down

[00:23.90] Ain't no mistakes allowed, but make no mistake I'm 'bout

[00:26.21] To rape the alphabet, I may raise some brows

[00:28.75] If I press the issue just to get the anger out (brrr)

[00:30.42] Full magazine could take Staples out

[00:32.68] Savage, but ain't thinkin' 'bout no bank account

[00:34.69] But bitch I'm off the chain like Kala Brown

[00:36.44] Motherfucker, shut the fuck up when I'm talkin', lil' bitch

[00:39.41] I'm sorry, wait, what's your talent? Oh, critiquin'

[00:42.69] My talent? Oh, bitch, I don't know who the fuck y'all are

[00:45.68] To give a sub-par bar, even have an opinion of you

[00:47.94] You mention me, millions of views, attention in news

[00:51.23] I mention you, lose-lose for me, win-win for you

[00:54.67] Billions of views, your ten cents are two

[00:56.70] Skim through the music to give shit reviews

[00:58.66] To get clicks, but bitch, you just lit the fuse

[01:00.44] Don't get misconstrued, business as us'

[01:02.43] Shit-list renewed so get shit to do

[01:04.53] Or get dissed 'cause I just don't get what the fuck half the shit is that you're listenin' t-to

[01:08.31] Do you have any idea how much I hate this choppy flow

[01:10.79] Everyone copies though? Probably no

[01:12.28] Get this fuckin' audio out my Audi yo, adios

[01:14.34] I can see why people like Lil Yachty, but not me though

[01:17.53] Not even dissin', it just ain't for me

[01:19.32] All I am simply is just an emcee

[01:21.30] Maybe "Stan" just isn't your cup of tea

[01:23.27] Maybe your cup's full of syrup and lean

[01:25.31] Maybe I need to stir up shit

[01:27.36] Preferably shake the world up if it were up to me

[01:29.52] Paul wants me to chill, y'all want me to ill

[01:31.57] I should eat a pill, probably I will

[01:33.52] Old me kill the new me, watch him bleed to death

[01:35.77] I breathe on the mirror, I don't see my breath

[01:37.56] Possibly I'm dead, I must be possessed

[01:39.55] Like an evil spell, I'm E-V-I-L (evil, but spelled)

[01:43.51] Jam a Crest Whitestrip in the tip of my dick with an ice pick

[01:46.02] Stick it in a vice grip, hang it on a spike fence

[01:48.07] Bang it with a pipe wrench

[01:49.08] While I take my ballsack and flick it like a light switch

[01:50.84] Like vice-president Mike Pence

[01:52.28] Back up on my shit in a sidekick as I lay it on a spike strip

[01:55.07] These are things that I'd rather do than hear you on a mic

[01:57.84] Since nine-tenths of your rhyme is about ice and

[02:00.01] Jesus Christ man, how many times is someone gonna fuck on my bitch? (Fuck my side chick!)

[02:04.31] You will never see Em icy, but as cold as I get on the M-I-C

[02:07.53] I polarize shit so the Thames might freeze

[02:10.07] And your skull might split like I bashed you upside it

[02:12.04] Bitch I got the club on smash like a nightstick (yeah)

[02:15.03] Turn down for what? I ain't loud enough

[02:16.54] Nah, turn the valium up!

[02:18.09] 'Cause I don't know how I'm gonna get your mouths to shut

[02:19.84] Now when it doesn't matter what caliber I spit at

[02:22.02] I'll bet a hundred thousand bucks

[02:24.08] You'll turn around and just be like, "Man, how the fuck sourpuss gonna get mad just 'cause his album sucks?

[02:28.29] And now he wants to take it out on us." (ooh-ooh)

[02:32.31] But last week, an ex-fan mailed me a copy

[02:34.09] Of The Mathers LP to tell me to study

[02:36.05] It'll help me get back to myself and she'll love me (ooh-ooh)

[02:40.19] I mailed the bitch back and said if I did that

[02:42.42] I'd just be like everyone else in the fucking industry

[02:45.10] Especially an effing Recovery clone of me

[02:48.61] So finger-bang, chicken wang, MGK, Iggy 'zae

[02:50.31] Lil Pump, Lil Xan imitate Lil Wayne

[02:52.04] I should aim at everybody in the game, pick a name

[02:54.33] I'm fed up with being humble

[02:56.34] And rumor is I'm hungry, I'm sure you heard bumblings

[02:58.12] I heard you wanna rumble like an empty stomach

[03:00.05] I heard your mumblin' but it's jumbled in mumbo-jumbo

[03:02.04] The era that I'm from will pummel you

[03:03.18] That's what it's comin' to

[03:04.43] What the fuck are you gonna do? Where you runnin' to?

[03:05.41] I'm gonna crumble you and I'll take a number two

[03:06.57] And dump on you if you ain't Joyner

[03:07.66] If you ain't Kendrick or Cole or Sean then you're a goner

[03:10.14] I'm 'bout to bring it to anyone in this bitch who want it

[03:12.18] I guess when you walk into BK you expect a Whopper

[03:13.67] You can order a Quarter Pounder when you go to McDonald's

[03:15.89] But if you're lookin' to get a porterhouse you better go get Revival

[03:17.92] But y'all are acting like I tried to serve you up a slider

[03:20.22] Maybe the vocals should have been auto-tuned

[03:21.78] And you would have bought it

[03:22.72] But sayin' I no longer got it

[03:23.71] 'Cause you missed the line and never caught it

[03:24.73] 'Cause it went over your head, because you're too stupid to get it

[03:26.46] 'Cause you're mentally retarded, but pretend to be the smartest

[03:28.51] With your expertise and knowledge, but you'll never be an artist

[03:31.04] And I'm harder on myself than you could ever be regardless

[03:32.78] What I'll never be is flawless, all I'll ever be is honest

[03:34.75] Even when I'm gone they're gonna say I brought it

[03:36.52] Even when I hit my forties like a fuckin' alcoholic

[03:38.51] With a bottle full of malt liquor

[03:39.73] But I couldn't bottle this shit any longer

[03:40.98] The fact that I know that I'ma hit my bottom

[03:42.55] If I don't pull myself from the jaws of defeat and rise to my feet

[03:45.57] I don't see why y'all even started with me

[03:47.32] I get impeached, my enemies die

[03:48.78] I don't ceasefire 'til at least all are deceased

[03:50.73] I'm eastside, never be caught slippin'

[03:52.71] Now you see why I don't sleep

[03:53.79] Not even a wink, I don't blink

[03:55.26] I don't doze off, I don't even nod to the beats

[03:57.06] I don't even close my fuckin' eyes when I sneeze

[04:00.46] "Aw, man! That BET cypher was weak, it was garbage

[04:03.03] The Thing ain't even orange—oh my God, that's a reach!"

[04:04.73] Shout to all my colorblind people, each and every one of y'all

[04:08.06] If you call a fire engine green, aquamarine

[04:10.21] Or you think water is pink

[04:11.54] "Dawg, that's a date," "Looks like an olive to me."

[04:13.27] "Look, there's an apple!" "No it's not, it's a peach!"

[04:16.98] So finger-bang, Pootie Tang

[04:18.02] Burger King, Gucci Gang, dookie, dang

[04:19.27] Charlamagne gonna hate anyway

[04:20.45] Doesn't matter what I say

[04:21.76] Give me Donkey of the Day

[04:22.02] What a way for 2018 to get underway

[04:23.77] But I'm gonna say everything that I wanna say

[04:26.77] Welcome to the slaughterhouse, bitch! (yeah)

[04:29.80] Invite them in like a One A Day

[04:30.96] I'm not done (preach)

[04:32.52] 'Cause I feel like the beast of burden

[04:33.69] That line in the sand, was it even worth it?

[04:35.49] 'Cause the way I see people turnin'

[04:37.48] Is makin' it seem worthless

[04:38.51] It's startin' to defeat the purpose

[04:39.82] I'm watchin' my fan base shrink to thirds

[04:41.53] And I was just tryin' to do the right thing, but word

[04:43.53] Has the court of public opinion reached a verdict

[04:45.08] Or still yet to be determined?

[04:47.26] 'Cause I'm determined to be me, critique the worship

[04:50.22] But if I could go back I'd at least reword it

[04:51.97] And say I empathize with the people this evil serpent

[04:53.77] Sold the dream to that he's deserted

[04:55.96] But I think it's workin'

[04:58.21] These verses are makin' him a wee bit nervous

[04:59.54] And he's too scurred to answer me
