Pa kraze kò′w
Gadon Rap chèlbè mezanmi
Twòp stil.

Twòp epi twòp cho.
M'pap fòse ankò MC yo twò so.
Wen-wen-wen-Wendyyy(2*)

Track sa pral agase egri nan tout stereyo.
M'geng 10 fwa pi rèd ke sa uii men album lan pral sòti m'sere yo.
San Manager, san bif, san signer m′sere yo.
M′tande m'di twòp gwo gad nèg yo k′ap pran pòz serye yo.
•Ban'm on lòt•
Chak track m′lage fè hit tankou T-Pain.
Enjenyè ban'm volum pou′m met nan djòl yo tnkou Pippen.
Pa etone'w kounya sou'w tande′m ap fè bri,
Pèp la te knn manje aransò, kounya′l goute Chicken.
•Ban'm on lòt•
Game(3*)nan pa gen nivo san mwen.
Hein! Hein! Nan moman pa gen 2 alevwa′w ta jwenn sa mwen.
Li lè pou karyè komèsyal mwen tanmen.
Paske Game nan pa gen Challenge m'bouke pèdi tan menn.
•Ooh! M′renmen sa iii ban'm men′m rim nan•
Ne-ne-Niggah! Beat la mache nan san mwen.

M'pa ni blòd ni mafya se lewogàn ki kan mwen.
Wou-ou-ou-ou! Nèg yo di′m dope.
Yo vle ban′m gwo pye.
Pèp la renmen jan'm djope.
Yo pa gen pwa di yo vre.
Yo bezwen stoppe′m.
Men BonDye twò pre'm.
Nan moman pou blow-off
Swa′w bif mwen
