[Verse 1]
I kept quiet, but perhaps I should have pushed✦ this fire quicker
'Cause to just sit with this shit, I've only✦ gotten✦ sicker✦
Yet I react without even✦ a crack in my composure✦
With the only✦ way he knows to bring this shit to a closure✦
I'm worthy,✦ and my associates and I named✦ the South "Dirty"✦ (What!)
And I'm even✦ for sale in Braille, the deaf, dumb, and blind have heard me
But I ain't even✦ breathing until✦ I get an even✦ thirty✦
I could casually✦ clap up the front of somebody's✦ throwback jersey✦ (Oww!)
[Pre-Chorus]
You making✦ me have to talk this way, ain't you? (Ain't you? Ain't you?)
You making✦ me have to talk this way (Boom!)
Hmm, you forcing me to walk this way (C'mon!)
Maybe my album'll get bought this way
[Verse 2]
Niggas✦ slow down around✦ me (Errr!)
I make 'em superstitious✦ (Boom!)
And one of my vices✦ used✦ to be wanting to look visually✦ vicious✦
But instead,✦ I use my head, and I fed niggas✦ something nutritious✦
But you will appreciate✦ what a sacrifice this is
And I know you ambitious,✦ young men, you have my best wishes✦
Have a piece of this pain on a platter—it's one of my best dishes✦
When you assassinate✦ my character, not one remark misses✦
So it's gon' get funky✦ when I'm frying these lil' fishes✦
Fuck faking!✦ There has been some offense taken✦ (Yeah!)
But this itty-bitty beef is beneath me, like bacon✦ (Oh!)
But hear me when when I say: I ain't gon' hate you halfway (Uh-uh!)✦
You know me—somebody✦ will surely✦ owe me!
When it comes✦ to respect, I only✦ put my family✦ before✦ me (Right!)
And the beat riding—tss—oh-so-slowly, but surely✦
And you in danger✦
And I'll be strict about✦ straight airing✦ e'ery✦ one of you niggas✦ like strangers
I'll put bullet✦ holes✦ (Oh) in anything✦ that oppose✦ (Who?)
Through car doors and clothes, amateurs and pros (Who else?)
Hardhead✦ niggas✦ and hoes (Yeah), also✦ friends and foes (Alright)✦
Let it be known that you'll lose your life fucking✦ around✦ with 'Lo
This is my glockapella✦ (Glockapella)✦
And I'll be wearing diamonds forever, like I'm signed✦ to Roc-A-Fella✦ (Right)
And I'ma✦ bust two times✦ in the sky (Boom, boom!)
'Cause ain't nobody✦ around✦ here ready✦ to die (Nuh-uh!)✦
But if it's war that you want, can't but one side win (Boi!)
And I'm damn sure ready✦ to try, motherfucker...✦ Yeah!
[Break]
Hold on...
Hahahaha✦ (Goddamn)
I'm all off the motherfucking✦ beat, hold on (Talk 'bout it, 'Lo!)
[Verse 3]
'Lo crazy,✦ 'Lo'll hurt somebody✦ bad
'Lo crazy,✦ 'Lo'll hurt somebody✦ dad (Man, what?!)
Decide✦ to ride down your street and just convert somebody✦ pad (Hey)
You know, as in "house?"
Hit somebody's✦ child or somebody's✦ spouse (Whoa)
You see what I'm saying? (See it?)
And you know I can be what I'm saying
And I got the most to lose
But you stepping on my shoes (Nigga!)✦
You become✦ a target✦ (Whoa)
And will remain✦ a target✦ until✦ you are hit
You done fucked✦ around✦ and found out that Cee-Lo✦ is still down for it
'Cause I ain't scared✦ of you (I ain't scared✦ of you)
Never✦ been scared✦ of you (Hell, no)
If anything,✦ I'm scared✦ for you
Because I'm so ahead✦ of you
Take that to the head, brother✦
'Fore I walk up on your bed, brother✦ (Alright)✦
And paint you bloody✦ red, brother✦ (Yeah)
You heard what I said, brother?✦
[Break]
Motherfucker!✦ Hahahaha✦ (I ain't mad at these niggas)✦
Ah-ha...✦ ah-ha...✦ I tricked you (Fucker!)✦
[Bridge]
We got a real awful thing going down, getting down
There's✦ a whole lot of talking going 'round (Yeah-eah)
You best believe✦ me, before✦ I pack up and move out of town
I will gladly✦ go on an' Glock one of 'em down (You better✦ believe✦ me)
I said, bring me the funk (Bring it to me!)
I want the funk (Bring it to me!)
I said, bring me the funk (Bring it to me!)
Give me the funk (Bring it to me!)
I said, bring me the funk (Bring it to me!)
Goddamit! I can handle the funk (Bring it to me)
Hey, bring me the funk (Bring it to me)
Bring me the funk
Motherfucker!✦ Hunh!
(Hahahaha...)✦
