Men on time out tell me what they mad fo'
Huh? Tell me what they mad fo'
Go to the corner and cry somewhere, man

Old insecure ass, nigga, yo
Heart pump Kool-Aid, man
Tell me what they mad fo'

Is it 'cause I got houses on every coast?
Or that I'm on that Forbes list
Makin' rich rappers look broke?
While they're blowin' that smoke, I'm
Blowin' a couple million
Makin' a killin' stuntin' on impostors
Only rapper in the game with
A Grammy and an Oscar (and the winner is)
7-figure movie deals, 8 figure bank runs
And I'm still feedin' the same
Hood that I came from (yeah)
Any car that you got, I've already drove
Any chick that you hit, my nigga
I've already hoed (I did, ow)
Say it with your chest like
These diamonds in my charm
Name on my headphones, label tatted on my arm

Air traffic control say, "Ludacris is insane"
That niggas daughter's birthday's the tail
Number on his plane (tell 'em, real talk)
Fuck with me but nobody's fuckin' with me
Takin' a shot of my cognac, more millions

Probably be in the feds
In the cell, gettin' mail
With a million dollar bail
But instead of countin' blues

And this Gucci, and this Louis

Check aboard my collar (skrrt)

In the club, all girls, no niggas
Don't talk to me 'cause I
Ain't really tryna hear niggas
In the coupe, it's the truth and the roof
Go poof, vamoose, I can make it disappear
Nigga
See this the type of shit that I be sayin'
Just because I'm ballin'
That don't mean a nigga playin'
Yup, haters can blow me like a fan
Flyer than a bitch
I don't think I'ma ever land
But in the meantime, baby, what's your plan?
You can call me daddy but
I can't be your man
Fiendin' like the addicts, when
I pull it out, they panic
Bi-bi-bitch, I do damage
You gon' need an ambulance

Tell me what they mad fo' 'cause

Cocked back two Glocks (bam)

The truth shall set you free
If you sellin' all the records and
You fuckin' all the bitches
And you sit a top of the charts
And you livin' out your wishes
With your chains all smothered and
Your watches all glittered
And your Ghost and your Phantoms
All comin' home to visit
Or maybe 'cause your bitches was
Never really your bitches
With your baby mama fuckin' every
Rapper in the business
Niggas sayin' you was better when the
Drugs was in your system
Now your crack swag gone ever
Since you came from prison
Got you tweetin' all stupid
Is you skatin', is you dissin'?
Found out your Ghost leased and
Your Phantom just rented
Won't need it in your name like
Pac when he went missin'
Makaveli lives on so I'm
Ridin' on you bitches
Hail Mary be the witness, Lord Willin'
I was dealin'
Stupid motherfuckin' five star
Tatted on his ceilin' bulls eye
Be the motherfuckin' target
For this killin'
Ain't y'all the motherfuckers

Tell me what they mad fo'
Come around the hood
See us sitting there looking good
Tell me what they mad fo' 'cause
You be on the radio
Sounding like you made a million dollars
Tell me what they mad fo'
Huh, tell me what they mad fo'
Tell me what they mad fo'
Tell me what they mad fo'

@RodgersXLVmvp
I miss that period from like 08' to 12' when like 4 or 5 of the best rappers in the game would all drop verses on the same song together constantly , that whole remix era , someone would drop a hot radio song , then like 4 rap titans would all hop on it togethrr and blow the original version out of the water.. TI and Luda , Ye and Jay , Wayne , then them other guys like Meek , Drake , Ross , 50 , Jezzy and yo gotti , etc , them were the days .. Now most them guys already got their bag and ran out of stuff to say aftet 20+ yr careers , and a whole new gen have the sound , but it really dont compare , most these new guys cant even rap foreal
