You Say
Dr. Didi Lyrics

I was born to brew up storms, stir up shit
I was destined to create chaos and controversy

Kick up dust, cuss 'til I slur up spit
Stir up trouble, curse relentlessly

Grew up too quick, went through too much
Matured too fast, faced numerous hardships

Knew too much shit, corrupt
Acquired excessive knowledge, became morally corrupted

And I'ma pour it on like syrup, bitch
I will express it all intensely and unapologetically

Thick and rich, sick and twisted, Mr. Buttersworth
Full of depth, disturbed, and unpredictable, like a dark syrup

Dre told me to milk this shit for what it's worth
Dre advised me to take advantage of this opportunity

'Til the cow just tilts and tips and stumbles to Earth
Until the success reaches its peak and eventually declines

And if I fumble a verse, keep going
Even if I make mistakes in my lyrics, I won't stop

First take I make, mistakes, just keep it
I don't mind making errors in the initial recording

No punches pulled, no punches, that's weak shit
I won't hold back or be gentle, that's a sign of weakness

Fake shit, if I ever take shit I'll eat shit
I won't tolerate lies, but if I make a mistake, I'll face the consequences

Wasn't for him, wouldn't be shit
If it wasn't for Dre, I wouldn't have achieved anything

Creep with me as we take a little trip down memory lane
Join me as we revisit the past and reminisce

Been here longer than anyone in the game
I have been in the industry for a significant amount of time

And I ain't got to lie about my age
I don't need to deceive anyone regarding my age

(But what about Jermaine?) Fuck Jermaine!
I don't care about Jermaine or his opinions

He don't belong speaking mine or Timbaland's name
He has no authority to mention me or Timbaland

And don't think I don't read your little interviews
I am aware of your insignificant interviews

And see what you're saying
I understand your intentions

I'm a giant, and I ain't gotta move 'til I'm provoked
I'm a powerful figure, and I won't take action unless provoked

When I see you, I'ma step on you and not even know it
I will crush you without even realizing it

You midget, mini-me with a bunch of little mini-yous
You're a small, insignificant version of me with imitators

Running around your backyard swimming pools
Playing around in your luxurious lifestyle

Over 80 million records sold
I have achieved massive commercial success

And I ain't have to do it with ten- or eleven-year-olds
I achieved this success without relying on young audiences

'Cause what you say is what you say
Your words reflect your true intentions

Say what you say how you say it whenever you're saying it
Express yourself authentically and honestly

Just remember how you said it when you was spraying it
Recall how you spoke when you were attacking

So who you playing with, huh?
Don't underestimate who you're dealing with

Second verse, it gets worse, it gets no better than this
The second part of the song is darker and more intense

Amateurs drink veteran piss from a Dixie cup
Inexperienced individuals are inferior to seasoned professionals

If you ever mix me up
If you confuse or mistake my identity

Or confuse me with a Canibus or Dre with a Dupri
Mix me up with other artists like Canibus or Dre with Jermaine Dupri

We'll rub it in, every club you're in
We'll make sure to humiliate you wherever you go

Or have you blackballed
We'll exclude you from the industry

And make sure you never rap a-fucking-gain
We'll ensure you never have a successful career in rap again

Dre ain't having it, long as I'm here to play devil's advocate
Dre won't tolerate it, as long as I support him

If there was some magic shit I could wave over the industry
If I had a supernatural power to change the industry

That could save it when I'm gone and buried
To preserve it after my death and burial

To make sure the tradition carries on, I would
To ensure the continuation of the genre's legacy, I would

If I could only use this power for good
Unfortunately, I can only use this power in a negative way

I wouldn't, not even if I could
I wouldn't do it, even if I had the option

From the hood, and I'm a hornet
I come from a rough neighborhood, and I'm aggressive

And I'ma only sting when I'm cornered
I will only strike when I'm under pressure

And I'ma only sucker punch and swing without warning
I'll attack unexpectedly, catching others off guard

And swing to knock somebody's fucking head off
I'll throw punches with the intention to harm and incapacitate

'Cause I know if they get up
Because I know if they recover

I won't get a chance to let off another punch
I won't have the opportunity to deliver another blow

I'm punk rock, no one's punk
I have a rebellious attitude, unlike anyone else in the industry

Don't give a fuck, white-Pac, so much spunk
I don't care about others' opinions, filled with energy like Tupac

When I was little I knew I would blow up and sell a mil'
Even as a child, I knew I would achieve great success and sell millions

Or grow up to be Attilla, go nuts and be a killer
I even considered becoming violent and dangerous

And I'm something of a phenom, one puff of the chron'
I am a prodigy, even with just a small amount of marijuana

I'm unstoppable, I'm alive and on top again
I am invincible, back in control and at the height of my career once more

There's no obstacle that I can't conquer
There's nothing that can stand in my way

So come along with us (c'mon!)
Join our journey and experience it together

Now anybody who knows Dre
Anyone who is familiar with Dre's reputation

Knows I'm about fast cars and Alizé, partying all day
Knows that I enjoy luxury cars, Alizé liquor, and constant partying

But I handled my business, 'cause it's work before play
I prioritize my responsibilities before indulging in leisure activities

Don't look for trouble, but I'll serve you gourmet
I don't seek conflict, but I will deliver it in an exceptional manner

However you want it, you can have it your way
You can choose the method of your demise

You fuck my night up, I'ma fuck up your day
If you ruin my plans, I will ruin your day

Bullet with your name, sending it your way
I will target you specifically with a deadly threat

That goes for anyone who walks through that doorway
This applies to anyone who enters into my realm

'Cause this is my space, you invade it
This is my territory, and you're trespassing

Live to regret it, and you'll die trying to violate it
You will suffer the consequences and may even lose your life

Fuck around, get annihilated, eyes dilated
Engage in foolish behavior, and you'll face destruction with wide open eyes

Huh, like my old lady
Similar to how my significant other behaves

Sometimes what you mean is two different things
Your true intentions may contradict your words

Depending on your mood if it swings
Your attitude and emotions can influence your message

Think too many things, little hit of Dre's weed
Overthinking, but a small dose of Dre's marijuana can calm me

I can do anything, catch a contact and I'm gone
I feel invincible and capable of achieving anything while under the influence

And I'm back, I speed write
After the high wears off, I quickly write my lyrics

And my loose leaf's my launchpad
I use blank sheets of paper as a starting point for my creative expression

And I can pull any string, don't have to prove anything
I have influence and control, I don't need to validate myself

Catch a contract on your head
I can put a hit out on you

You headed West, talk shit about Dre
If you disrespect Dre when you're in the West

You better get a vest and invest
You should protect yourself and prepare

In something to protect your head and neck
By wearing protective gear

And it's back and forth all day, like Red and Meth
We engage in continuous conflict, similar to Redman and Method Man

I joke when I say I'm the best in the booth
I make lighthearted remarks about being the greatest rapper

But a lot of truth is said in jest
However, jokes often contain a significant amount of truth

And if I ever do live to be a legend I'ma die a sudden death
If I achieve legendary status, I expect to die unexpectedly

Five mics in The Source? Ain't holding my fucking breath
I don't have high hopes of receiving a perfect rating in The Source magazine

But I'll suffocate for the respect
Nevertheless, I'm willing to fight for recognition and admiration

'Fore I breathe to collect a fucking check
Prioritizing respect over financial gain

Watch your fucking mouth!
Be cautious of your words and show respect!

Yo, this Timbaland, tell him I said suck my dick!
Timbaland, deliver my disrespectful message to him!
