Say What You Say

I was born to brew up storms, stir up shit, kick up dust, cuss till I slur up spit Grew up too quick, went through too much, knew too much shit Corrupt, and I'm a pour it on like syrup, bitch Thick 'n rich, sick and twisted, Mr. Buttersworth Dre told me to milk this shit for what it's worth 'Til the cow just tilts and tips and stumbles to earth And if I fumble a verse, keep going, first take I make mistakes just keep it, no punches pull, no punches, that's weak shit Fake shit, if I ever take shit I'll eat shit, wasn't for him, wouldn't be shit Creep with me as we take a little trip down memory lane Been here longer than anyone in the game And I ain't got to lie about my age, "But what about Jermaine? "Fuck Jermaine, he don't belong speakin' mine or Timbaland's name And don't think I don't read your lil' interviews and see what you're sayin' I'm a giant, and I ain't gotta move 'Til I'm provoked, when I see you, I'm a step on you and not even know it You midget, mini-me with a bunch of mini-yous, runnin' round your backyard swimmin' pools Over eighty million records sold, and I ain't have to do it with ten or eleven year olds 'Cause what you say is what you say Say what you say how you say it whenever you sayin' it Just remember how you said it when you was sprayin' it So who you playin' wit, huh?

Second verse, it gets worse, it gets no better than this Amateurs drink veteran piss From a dixie cup, if you ever mix me up Or confuse me with a Cannabis or Dre with a Dupri We'll rub it in, every club you're in We'll have you black balled and make sure you never rap-a-fuckin'-gain Dre ain't havin' it as long as I'm here to play devil's advocate If there was some magic shit I could wave over the industry That could save it when I'm gone and buried To make sure the tradition carries on, I would If I could only use this power for good, I wouldn't, not even if I could From the hood, and I'm a hornet, and I'm a only sting when I cornered And I'm a only sucker punch and swing without warning And swing to knock somebody's fuckin' head off 'Cause I know if they get up, I won't get a chance to let off Another punch, I'm punk rock, no one's punk, don't give a fuck White-Pac, so much spunk When I was little I knew I would blow up and sell a mill Or grow up to be Atilla, go nuts and be a killer And I'm, somethin' of a phenom, one puff of the chron I'm unstoppable, I'm alive and on top again There's no obstacle that I can't conquer so come along wit us? Come on 'Cause what you say is what you say Say what you say how you say it whenever you sayin' it Just remember how you said it when you was sprayin' it So who you playin' wit, huh?

Now anybody who knows Dre Knows I'm about fast cars and Alize, partyin' all day But I handled my business Cause it' work before play, don't look for trouble But I'll serve you gourmet However you want it, you can have it your way, you fuck my night up I'm a fuck up your day, bullet with your name Sendin' it your way, that goes for anyone who walks through that doorway 'Cause this is my space, you invade it, live to regret it And you'll die tryin' to violate it Fuck around, get annihilated, eyes dilated Like my old lady? 'Cause what you say is what you say Sometimes what you mean is two different things Depending on your mood if it swings Think too many things, little hit of Dre's weed I can do anything, catch a contact and I'm gone And I'm back, I speed write and my loose-leaf's my launch pad And I can pull any string, don't have to prove anything Catch a contract on your head, you headed west, talk shit about Dre You better get a vest And invest in something to protect your head and neck And it's back and forth, all day like Red and Meth I joke when I say I'm the best, in the booth But a lot of truth is said in jest And if I ever do live to be a legend I'm a die a sudden death Five mics in the Source, ain't holdin' my fuckin' breath But I'll suffocate for the respect 'fore I breathe, to collect a fuckin' check 'Cause what you say is what you say Say what you say how you say it whenever you sayin' it Just remember how you said it when you was sprayin' it So who you playin' wit, huh?
