Don't Make Me Take It There

Yooo, they still won't give me my props

Man I'm pissed off, y'all see the other side of me

C'mon, like this

I'm thinkin' 'bout what the music game might be

If a nigga didn't make his entry

Niggas would be makin' them same old beats

Waitin' on my arriv-er-y

Y'all niggas gon' learn to appreciate me

Instead of, always comparin' me

If I hear one more remark about me

I guess I gotta ride on my enemies

Don't make me take it there

Don't make me take it there

Don't make me take it there

But I will nigga

Where the fuck would the music be if it wasn't for Timothy

When the game is feverish and I create new remedies

Incrumble these until I'm buzzed and I'm laxed

And them hoes show me love in every club that I'm at

For every hug I get back, while another nigga envy

But I swear I ain't no killer, but y'all niggas 'bout to tempt me

To the point that the barrel's empty, and then you gon' resent me

When Morpheus mentioned the desert of the real he meant me

Like a monster I am simply, through the wreckage and debris

Let my music not really be confused with anybody

Cause I'm somethin' like Mr. Muhammad Ali in his prime

That I float like a butterfly and sting with the rhyme

And I might have to sling with the nine

If it's drama that these niggas tryin' to bring to my mind

I seem to remind, that time has crowned its spoke

And if you don't love it, you can shove a dick down your throat

I'm thinkin' 'bout what the music game might be

If a nigga didn't make his entry

Niggas would be makin' them same old beats

Waitin' on my arriv-er-y

Y'all niggas gon' learn to appreciate me

Instead of, always comparin' me

If I hear one more remark about me

I guess I gotta ride on my enemies

Don't make me take it there

Don't make me take it there

Don't make me take it there

But I will nigga

Look at my eyes nigga, wakin' up early in the mornin'

To the sunrise nigga, momma yellin' rise nigga

Get up out that bed snorin', if you want it go get it

Fuck havin' to beg for it, even if you gotta break your neck

I'ma relent for it, I sat listenin' behind a hot bowl of bread pourin'

Contemplatin' on how to work my math in bread storin'

How to work my fingers to the bone until they bled soarin'

So you can say that I'ma giant, a preacher of havoc

Walkin' over these vultures squawkin' to reach and to have it

Niggas watchin' me closely not just to weaken my marriage

With the game and the cabbage, with my name and my status

But I remain as the baddest, motherfuckers established

And I'm still at it, drownin' in Hennessy straight

Bumpin' that Stillmatic, down in my enemy's face

And y'all like a kill habit, in front of my enemy's face

I sit like a steel rabbit, to show 'em it's real static

And homey I deal at it, with my poker face

Until I least make a mil' at it, or least make a meal of it

I'm hungry and still clutchin', off of that meal ticket

Out of that steel oven, fool

Well I was ridin' 95 through Virginia the other day

And I thought to myself, ain't this where Timbaland used to stay

I heard he moved to New York City, but he work in Miami

Only time he back 'round here is when he visit his granny

Now ain't it funny how the money make a man change

But shit Timmy I don't think he changed a damn thang

Except the rap game, and plus the track game

Shit he be gobblin' up Grammys like he Pac mayne

Can you get with that mayne, let's go on and take it back to the roots

Before them backpackin' rappers with them hoodies and boots

Before Sam Goody and MTV

Before these killers and these hundred

Dollar billas feelin' they can MC

Before the white rap explosion, before the corrosion

When we was just gettin' started and them do's wouldn't open

It was people like Timmy, who was kickin' 'em in

Shit, what you cookin' in that kitchen again

Some shit like that

I'm thinkin' 'bout what the music game might be

If a nigga didn't make his entry

Niggas would be makin' them same old beats

Waitin' on my arriv-er-y

Y'all niggas gon' learn to appreciate me

Instead of, always comparin' me

If I hear one more remark about me

I guess I gotta ride on my enemies

Don't make me take it there

Don't make me take it there

Don't make me take it there

But I will nigga
