What now?
I am Shortie
I be 4'11"
(I am, I be, I am, I am) I
Am Shortie (oh, you tapin' now?)
(I am Patrick) I'll do that again
I did the biggest shoe collection in the world) I am Shortie
I be 4'11"
I am Shortie
I am Shortie
I be 4'11"
Again?
I am Shortie
I be 4'11"
I am Shortie
I be 4'11"
One more time
I am Shortie
I be 4'11" (I be Shortie and what?)
I am Shortie
I be 4'11"
I am Shortie
I be 4'11"

I am Posdnous 
I be the new generation of slaves 
Here to make papes to buy a record exec' rakes 
The pile of revenue I create 
But I guess I don't get a cut 'cause my rent's a month late 
Product of a North Carolina cat 
Who scratched the back of a pretty woman named Hattie 
Who departed life just a little too soon 
And didn't see me grab the Plug Tune fame 
As we go a little somethin' like this 
Look ma, no protection 
Now I got a daughter named Ayana Monet
And I can play the cowboy to rustle in the dough 
So the scenery is healthy where her eyes lay 
I am an early bird but the feathers are black 
So the apples that I catch are usually all worms 
But it's a must to decipher one's queen 
From a worm who plays groupie and spread around the bad germ 
I cherish the twilight 
I maximize, my soul is the right size 
I watch for the power to run out on the moon 
(And that'll be sometime soon) 
Faker than a fist of kids 
Speakin' that they're Black when they're just niggas trying to be Greek 
Or some tongues who lied and said, "We'll be natives to the end" 
Nowadays we don't even speak 
I guess we got our own life to live 
Or is it because we want our own kingdom to rule? 
Every now and then I step to the now 
For now I see back then I might have acted like a fool 
Now I won't apologize for it, this is not a bunch of Brady's 
But a bunch of Black man's pride, yet I can safely say 
I've never played a sister by touching where her private parts reside 
I've always walked the right side of the road 
If I wasn't making song I wouldn't be a thug selling drugs 
But a man with a plan and if I was a rug cleaner 
Betcha Pos'll have the cleanest rugs I am

The Plug Two brand with the flavor
In the flute watch the sniffin', so a sack of shows in demand 
I read the diction from the second page
I got the one-two gauge, Baritone to the izm fan 
Trees fall so I can play ground with my ink 
So let me need ya to my M's go 
I push the infinite and carry it
My carrier's the three over one, so my pluggins already know 
Lick shots with my woo, catch the boo 
From a ghost in the heckling crowd if I give a foot 
Jack Ville caught a spill when a spill came from her mouth 
I put her head down south 
I don't check for the noose and the neck 
So I never tell my M's that finesse is knocking at my door 
I choose to run from the rays of the burning sun 
And dodge a needle washing up upon a sandy shore 
I bring the element H with the 2 
So ya owe me what's coming when I'm raining on your new parade 
It's just mind over matter and what matters is that 
The mind isn't guided by the punished shade 
I keep the walking on the right side 
But I won't judge the next who handles walking on the wrong 
'Cause that's how he wants to be, no difference, see 
I want to be like the name of this song I am 

I am Posdnous 
I be the new generation of slaves 
Here to make papes to buy a record exec' rakes 
The pile of revenue I create 
But I guess I don't get a cut 'cause my rent's a month late 
The deeds of a natural are seeds that are no longer planted 
So the famine in the mind is strong 
Tactics of another plane is now proven sane 
Sane enough to let you know from within this song 
I stabilize many cableized viewers 
So my occupation's known but not why I occupy 
And that is to bring the peace 
Not in the flower but the As-Salaam Alaikum in the third I am
