Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said I'm..
I'ma great white on the mic, servin fishscale
Livin life like I co-star with Denzel
Hip-hop been my life since kids meals
Lee jeans, label blocks and Big Wheels (uhh)
Ever since then I've been a FUCKIN problem
Feelin like Bruce Wayne, and this is Gotham
Now I got them haters watchin
Waitin for my next hit like a nigga boxin
(And the NEWWW!) On this mic you can see I'm blessed
Some say I'm the (One), like (KRS)
Shoutout to Clue, Flex and Doo Wop
R.I.P. Big L, Pun, Biggie and Tupac
Flow so sick somebody give me a flu shot (achoo)
I'm well done, overcooked, too hot
A booth, ProTools and a MP
That's all I need to show you that I'm a emcee (yessir!)
So you can chase the fame, cause simply
difference is, you a Beamer, I'm a Bentley - dummy!
Now wonder where I'd be without Funk Doc
So this toast goes to Redman and hip-hop (yo)

And I faced it, it's a new ballgame
It's like when (Baby Boy) met Ving Rhames

Yeah I laugh when I'm yakkin to children
But it's hard when ya boy lackin a million

And do the same damn thing on the Westside (West coast!)
For hip-hop I'ma die - you fuck with it?

Hip-Hop, until I dieeeeee
Until I die, whoaaaaaa-ohhhhhh

Cause this is my life, my life




Hip-Hop, until I diiiiieeee
Yeah yeah yeah
