The Mortal Kombat "Finish Him!" Ending: (Lex)
Free on the beat, from the toes of my feet
To the shine when I rhyme
And the books that I read
On probation for the flows that I killed
For the hearts that I steal when I flow on the beat
You were in the club, when I was on the street
These others bitches rap what they see on... tv!
sick and tired these bitches that sound like Nicki
this me, me, me, me nigga
