Beef is when the clothes lookin' like dirty sheets
Beef is when I help you sell records just like I do. Now that's beef.
What's Beef? Beef is when these hoes say my name in the streets.
Beef is when they fame only last a few weeks.

Now what's beef? Beef is when the bitch titties looking like they sleep.
Beef is when the clothes lookin' like dirty sheeps (bahh)
Beef is when I help you sellin' records just like I do. Now that's beef.
What's Beef? Beef is when these hoes say my name in the streets.
Beef is when they fame only last a few weeks.
Beef is when I help you sellin' records just like I do. Now that's beef.
Yo neck and yo back. Bitch you know you was wrong,
