[Chorus: Bone Crusher & (Killer Mike)]
I got them 'bows on my 'lac - swervin✦ on these niggas!✦
I got the ho up in the back - bumpin✦ niggas✦ figgaz!✦
I got the weed in my sack - smokin✦ on that killa!✦
In the hood where I'm at - trappin✦ with my niggas!✦
I got the NEW NEW... (Killa✦ K-K-K-Killa✦ Killa...)✦
NEW NEW... (K-K-K-Killa✦ Killa..)✦
NEW NEW... (K-K-K-Killa✦ Killa..)✦
NEW NEW... (Niggas✦ don't wanna✦ touch the Killa..)✦
[Verse 2: Killer Mike]
Straight from Atlanta, the hog hand-ler
Grown folk trap, scramb-ler
Knee deep, means to get them G's to my manager
My MAC-10 made for action,✦ body-baggin'✦ and toe-taggin'✦
I'll drag 'em threw the river✦ like a bad yellow✦ nigga✦
I'm mashin✦ with pops fashion, bustin✦ first no questions askin✦
You gon' off that waterboat and thinkin you can hold me
I'm, King Kong on every✦ track, no cap-sule can hold me
I'll THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP, when I BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP!
It's woofers, tweeters, speakers, geekers, ALL IN YO' TRUNK!
My dad ain't raise no fag, my mom ain't had no punk
We don't hesitate✦ or negotiate,✦ we pop Chevy✦ trunks
From the home of Coca-Cola, I'm not referrin to soda✦
I'mma✦ grind til I shine, or die going for mine
SIG Sauer by my side, swervin✦ and blowin✦ pine
Don't be a victim to a Killer,✦ be a father✦ to ya son
This Re-Akshon, Killa✦ Kill, T.I.P., and Bun
[Chorus: Bone Crusher & (Killer Mike)]
I got them 'bows on my 'lac - swervin✦ on these niggas!✦
I got the ho up in the back - bumpin✦ niggas✦ figgaz!✦
I got the weed in my sack - smokin✦ on that killa!✦
In the hood where I'm at - trappin✦ with my niggas!✦
I got the NEW NEW... (Killa✦ K-K-K-Killa✦ Killa...)✦
NEW NEW... (K-K-K-Killa✦ Killa..)✦
NEW NEW... (K-K-K-Killa✦ Killa..)✦
NEW NEW... (Niggas✦ don't wanna✦ touch the Killa..)✦
[Verse 3: Bun B]
Bitch I'm coming✦ live from the trunk and I thrive on the funk
Cuz I'd rather✦ die like a man than survive like a punk
I'm no coward, I'm 'dro-powered,✦ you gettin✦ Twin-Towered✦
Devoured - it's a shit-storm and you bout to get showered✦
From Broward county✦ to Harris,✦ Pasadena to Paris✦
I embarrass niggas✦ on chrome wheels as big as the ferris✦
Cuz there is, now way now how - I stay low-key,✦ low-brow
In that black on black on black in the 'lac cuz I'm so wild
I get, drunk off that, I'll be high off this
I might pop one of those, it don't matter✦ my nigga✦ - I don't miss
They put me high on lists, where players are posted✦
But them players we posted✦ up on corners, when they say and get roasted✦
And the prayer get toasted,✦ cuz I keep the flame on
The face for the game on - leave a stain on anything I puts my name on
Disrespect and the tech'll peck a player like Woody✦
Cuz cain't nuttin✦ keep a trill nigga✦ down, ask Khujo Goodie
[Chorus: Bone Crusher & (Killer Mike)]
I got them 'bows on my 'lac - swervin✦ on these niggas!✦
I got the ho up in the back - bumpin✦ niggas✦ figgaz!✦
I got the weed in my sack - smokin✦ on that killa!✦
In the hood where I'm at - trappin✦ with my niggas!✦
I got the NEW NEW... (Killa✦ K-K-K-Killa✦ Killa...)✦
NEW NEW... (K-K-K-Killa✦ Killa..)✦
NEW NEW... (K-K-K-Killa✦ Killa..)✦
NEW NEW... (Niggas✦ don't wanna✦ touch the Killa..)✦
[Outro: Killer Mike]
All I gotta✦ say is sucker✦ emcees✦ better✦ run
The debate✦ is now, who's the greatest emcee?
T.I.P., Killer✦ Mike, or Bun?
We are not doing this for fun - this is a bloodsport
Emcees✦ are dying, mothers are crying
And wack-ass niggas✦ will go out trying
It is officially✦ a new day, I am officially✦ the new mouth
AND THESE ARE THE EMCEES✦ OF THE NEW SOUTH!!

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"the hog hand-ler"

① A reference to the 'hog' as a street-level slang for a high-value product/kilo.② A play on his Southern origin/persona as a 'hog handler' in rural or agricultural, rugged contexts.

"From the home of Coca-Cola, I'm not referrin to soda"

① Literal reference to the city of Atlanta being the corporate headquarters for the soft drink.② Slang reference to cocaine distribution ('coke'), establishing his bona fides as a street-level trap dealer.

Exceptional command of breath control and rhythmic pockets

Strong integration of the 'Killa' moniker into the cadence

High-energy delivery that matches the production intensity

Effective use of onomatopoeia to simulate weapon fire/sub-woofers

Lyrical content leans heavily on established trap tropes

Some forced phonetic rhyming sacrifices logical cohesion

Limited metaphorical depth beyond the 'King Kong/Aggressive trap' theme
