The time has come, for bad things to leave The time has come, for life to begin The time has come, for the war of the gods It's that time I'ma take the subtle approach first 'Cause I'm just gettin' started Let's go Look, I'm the best and there's nothing that you can do about it Never needed a publicity stunt, let's tell the truth about it Even in the core of the streets, you can't sway the youth about it But keep runnin' yo mouth, and I swear I'ma knock a tooth up out it I never claimed to be nuthin' but who the f*ck I am Never sold cocaine in my life, but I'm still the fuckin' man Understand, nuthin' you did makes you better nigga You claim the streets, but the streets respect that chedda nigga Luda got twice as much yo life you can charge it to 'em I fit four of your houses inside my daughters room And still have room for young Karma to play Givin' back to the children of tomorrow, for good karma today So you can say what ya wanna say, and you can talk that talk But real niggas ain't doing no talkin' cause we walk that walk Album for album you can see I got a multimillion plan So call yourself whatever you want 'cept the multimillion man How many times is you goin' rap about busting your gun How many times is you goin' trap without busting your gun Only shots you ever took were subliminal to the general Disrespectin' those doin' real time with real criminals And I ain't never did a day in my life But it should be illegal to walk a day in my life I paid the price and the cost to be the boss so you can rest your mouth I'm universal, Luda never limits himself to the south I give a damn about ya hootin' and hollerin', and it ain't botherin' me I hear you talkin' but you ain't made it to three You know where I live, but you ain't made it to me You ain't made nigga I'm havin' a house party, kid come get played nigga You got played, my record label never jerked me So shoot me, stab me, but words will never hurt me I feed off your energy, my powers with God So it's even better if you make ya diss record real hard See even without the bass and all that treble I'm as hot as the devil And I work for the top floor, homie get on my level I've been stripped away of powers 'cause I gave you my blessin' So it'll take more than majority vote to win this election Man, mix tapes or not my resume is too hot And I warned them that I was coming, I got the number one spot So unless you using tampons, quit acting stuck up And do like your records say, or shut the f*ck up
