  Aiyyo P back me up now, hold me down
  while I go around this town, snatchin crowns
  from those supposed, wannabe rap vocalists
  If you nice get your rope and dosey-do in this
  Let me know somethin - you wanna fight? Let's go somethin
  If not, close your mouth and say nothing
  Y'all imitations, fuckin up the whole situation
  with sucker MC infiltration
  
  [Parrish Smith]
  Aiyyo straight up, you light MC's better get your weight up
  I'm benchin three hundred and change, starvin cats get ate up
  Ain't that ill? How I can just stare, and watch the blood spill
  from an unknown rapper, but now the rapper's no thrill
  Now how real is that? Burnin gats, knifes and bats
  Hot rhyme, status, with the hot wax
  Mixed with the street slang, is where it's at
  Perhaps, you should close your mouth kid and slide back
  
  [P] Yo E, hold me down
  [E] I'm holdin you down

  [Parrish Smith]
  You got shit harder than this, Erick Serm' and Parrish Smith?
  What's this? Piped out five, with the kit?
  And millions to back it, keep it rugged never wack kid
  This ain't just rhymin, God's on the way, and he's askin
  who's been followin the rules, two noided, so we strap tools
  and can't cool, this go out to the cats in school
  It's not the norm, word bond, so get ready for the rainstorm
  Too hot, fuck lukewarm, when we swarm
  [Erick Sermon]
  Yeah we swarm MC's with the bee effect, zzzzz, sting em
  like Muhammad, set the scene I'm bombin on
  CEO's, A&R's, street team to a manager
  For the cream, we damage ya
  On light-skinned, dark-skinned, albino
  From a crackhead, dopefiend, or wino
  Bring the Ultra-ment, stick you with the Magnetic
  Give a shout, to them sweet cats, rap diabetics

  Dodgin po-nine and marks, with the high beams
  God-body, rap style, Mazerrati
  Catchin bodies, E Double holdin shit down with the sawed off shotty
  What you thought? We takin more than nickels and shorts?
  Get the fuck out of here, nothin sweet here, you get your shit torched
  
  [Erick Sermon]
  I spit flames at Oklahoma
  When done, you can smell the Sermon aroma
  In a coma, burned to death, man listen
  Did he deserve, the kicked to the curb, ass whippin?
  Believe you me, it was his destiny
  for the child to end for fuckin with men
  P and I got somethin for all y'all
  who stand tall, and dose dat like to ball
  So we ball like Spalding, in the time of need
  who you calling when your career is falling?
  Ssshh, way down, you've been hit, lay down
  Hit the ground, don't get up, stay down
  Relax a minute, you shouldn'ta put your two cents in it
  Now you up a creek, in the back of a car that's rented
