[00:03.08]（Verse 1: Royce Da 5'9"）
[00:03.71]I'm sending my killers to the store for Patron and Danish
[00:06.74]My *************, my *************, I would go get it myself, but I'm famous
[00:09.36]And I ain't never changing, I'm never done paying my dues
[00:13.35]My mind frame is "I'm forever making my payments"
[00:15.80]I walk by a so called tough guy, watch him tuck his chain in
[00:19.46]No snatching though, watch what you put my ******g name in
[00:22.30]Kind of like an armless actor playing an action role
[00:25.49]I'm out on the west copping like Axel Foley, ask the police
[00:29.66]But at least I'm active though
[00:31.61]I bought my ************* an ass then wrote it off on my taxes
[00:34.07]Listed it as an independent backing like Macklemore
[00:37.30]Half of my clique is bastards
[00:38.79]The other half of my clique don't know half of the kids they have
[00:42.20]It's savage, that's average though
[00:44.01]Like 30k a year spent on yeast
[00:46.63]In order to walk in the streets
[00:48.12]In my shoes, you're gon need Flintstone feet
[00:49.68]And room for baggage, and room in your Nikes
[00:51.93]So they can hypothetically tag your toe
[00:56.77]Mother*******s can't rhyme no more about rhyme no more
[00:59.62]Cause I'm so raw
[01:01.05]Will I win? ain't an if, it's a when
[01:02.86]Kind of like asking "what time is karma gon find Solar"
[01:05.10]So tomorrow, in hindsight, if you an artist, death's near, the fans know
[01:09.32]What you draw falls on deaf ears like Van Gogh
[01:11.76]I chose rap glory over the stratosphere
[01:14.15]No plaques or trophies, I already have them here
[01:16.83](Let's go, Preem)
[01:17.71]I'm just trying to leave my mark but I've got the same backstory as a tatted tear
[01:21.38]The kind of frame I prefer to see the world through
[01:23.84]Don't ask me nothing about Budden
[01:25.52]I suppose I propose to all my girls too
[01:27.69]I'm in the Forbes in in a pearl suit
[01:29.23]******* know the score like Sheryl Swoopes
[01:31.19]You know they say that you dying if you ain't living good
[01:33.41]I'm dumping a hit man's salary worth of quarters down the world's largest wi*************ng well
[01:37.17]Wi*************ng a ************* would
[01:39.74](Wi*************ng a ************* would)
[01:40.84]（Interlude）
[01:42.01]Ladies and gentlemen
[01:42.38]I think my record speaks for itself
[01:43.46]（Verse 2: Common）
[01:43.86]A rival of survival, idle movement and chatter
[01:46.38]We was stepping in the Chi before we knew the ladder
[01:50.30]Climb up till your time's up, a daily reminder
[01:53.28]My daily operation is to spark the population
[01:56.05]Salutation to the nation of the Nubians and hooligans
[01:59.66]That knew me when we was boxing *************s up in Julian
[02:02.83]The bond that I have with the ************* and the math
[02:06.03]Supreme talk, I'm walking a king's walk
[02:08.75]Watch it vibrate, while I take the wings off
[02:11.90]Straight out of Chitown where they get that lean off
[02:15.25]Fiends cough for serum, hitters rally rally like it's Durham
[02:18.97]You in Illinois, we don't know what can cure 'em
[02:22.16]I'm sicker than most of them from the 'Go so the flow don't end
[02:25.81]Come get it bae like you from Oakland
[02:27.98]I'm in the building and this my grand opening
[02:30.62]I'm postering them *************s that were supposed to been
[02:33.11]****r than more ************* than fallopian
[02:35.59]（Interlude）
[02:35.94]These are the sounds of days that are passed
[02:37.69]（Verse 3: Royce Da 5'9"）
[02:38.10]Kick in the door waving the .44
[02:39.90]K's in the floorboards, stays in the Waldorf
[02:42.51]I will board a jet cheap, fly to where you're sure to get deep
[02:45.53]To show your crew my immortal technique
[02:47.23]I'll elaborate, sixteen pistols and extendos
[02:49.85]Hidden inside three or four twelve hundred crates
[02:52.79]If we at war, I'll exaggerate
[02:54.17]Sweep up the streets till the clique clean
[02:56.12]Shoot you while we watch the tables turn like a DWYCK scene
[02:58.59]Street sweeper, knock his head clean off his body
[03:00.60]Then keep sweeping long enough to clean off his body
[03:02.98]Lean off the bottle then fly a ************* queen off to Cabo
[03:05.76]Then have her feeding me papayas and grapes, I'm an acquired taste
[03:08.99]If you don't like me, acquire some taste
[03:10.78]And all I talk about is murdering
[03:12.22]All you do is test pros, I'll shoot you while you protest
[03:14.53]Shout to all my brothers and my sisters out in Ferguson
[03:16.69]The police want us shot
[03:18.03]And you gon be the next to drop in front of that donut shop
[03:20.71]（Interlude）
[03:21.31]We record a new dimension of history
[03:23.93]（Verse 4: Royce Da 5'9"）
[03:24.45]I kicked my habits in Visvim sneakers
[03:26.92]And developed into the new now
[03:28.25]Win Animal Planet
[03:30.06]I got me a plaque and a Grammy while i'm going zoo now
[03:31.92]Me still being irrelevant
[03:33.46]Then became the elephant in the room now
[03:35.53](Is he ever gonna fall off?) No
[03:37.58]I walk by so-called tough guy
[03:39.75]Watch him pass me nervous after I passed him
[03:42.22]He gon' get with the street life or
[03:44.13]He gon' turn the other cheek like a half done ass job
[03:46.90]Sitting right in front of a plastic surgeon
[03:48.86]Then I jump in the black Suburban
[03:50.72]Snatch the curtain, wrapping your R&B act in it
[03:54.16]After I squeeze 21 entries
[03:56.53]And it ain't no need to ask for IDs
[03:58.33]I'm certain that if you offend me then it shall get windy
[04:01.47]And that's right before the Mac 10 is working, click
[04:04.20]And it ain't no irony in the fact that I am giving you fire
[04:08.03]And that fire comes after the earth, wind, whew
[04:11.19]Preme in his prime, I'm in my prime
[04:13.04]("You know it can never be imitated")
[04:14.63]("Shout outs to Royce, Primo
[04:17.37]It's Common Sense, Big Illinois")
