Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, that almighty amazin', ill highly contagious
Kamikaze south splash like it's shot from a gauge
Until your body sound clash
Head of the class, Magna Cum Laude
Beats bring the beast out me, flagrant, foul, rowdy
Reed pipe, but deep tight, disposition keep on flippin'
Keep 'em playing they position
Keep makin' the people listen what I spit
Put 'em out on a limb
Got tears, got blood, got sweat leakin' out of the pen
Y'all fake **** not settin' a trend
We never listen to them
It's like tryna take a piss in the wind
My home team doin' visitors in, yo, don't test 'em
They all standin' close to the edge, so don't stress 'em
Now who the type built to last?
It's no question, the master villain in black with no Stetson
My sound hittin' you hard from every direction
Your head and your shoulder, area your midsection, dawg
[Chorus]
Yeah, witness say I hold it down with the nine, won't lie
With an edited line, we're King Kong hittin' Thailand
Give it here, and don't say nuthin'
Just give it here, and don't say nuthin'
With the team on set, hit the blunt, a double plat
Hear the band, horn, everything, mmm, cut the check
Give it here, and don't say nuthin'
Give it here, and don't say nuthin'
[Verse 2]
Yeah, Illadel, home of the original gun clappers
Out on the wrong corner, your shit'll get spun backwards
You got the forewarnin', the rules, enter at risk
Or your own nana keep a gat under the mattress
Shorties runnin' reckless from Philly to Texas
Surprising what **** willin' to do to get a necklace
Some emotions felt better left unexpressed at times
**** crime record longer than a guest list, yes
I done seen things you wouldn't believe
Seen people reach levels thought they'd never achieve
Silhouettes waitin' in the wings, ready to D
Thirsty shites who need at least a buck to breathe
Come on, stick up kids, they be out to tax
Most times they be stickin' you without the gats
I'll still be on the grind when it all collapse
And if it's mine, word's bond, I'ma take it right back, ****
[Chorus]
Witness say I hold it down with the nine, won't lie
With an edited line, we're King Kong hittin' Thailand
Give it here, and don't say nuthin'
Just give it here, and don't say nuthin'
With the team on set, hit the blunt, a double plat
Hear the band, horn, everything, mmm, cut the check
Give it here, and don't say nuthin'
Give it here, and don't say nuthin'
[Verse 3]
Yeah, it ain't nothin' like the rush I get in front of the band
On stage with the planet in the palm of my hand
When a brother transform from anonymous man
To the force, crush whoever mighta thought I was playin'
I'ma flame some sinister shit, the cold twister
Slang thicker than Big Boi baby mom sister
Pain beyond measure, relaxed under pressure
You see the masterpiece, but to me it's unperfected
Give it here, Geffen Records, I'm off the handle
Cut the check and, yo, it better be as heavy as Anvil's
Next joint comin', all bets is cancelled
****, black ink, Grand Wizard, GEE Financial
We finna have the whole industry at a standstill
See me put the system on lock like Camp Hill
So get with them endorsements and call reinforcements
'Cause my clique come in for a sizable portion, yeah
[Chorus]
Witness say I hold it down with the nine, won't lie
With an edited line, we're King Kong hittin' Thailand
Give it here, and don't say nuthin'
Just give it here, and don't say nuthin'
With the team on set, hit the blunt, a double plat
Hear the band, horn, everything, mmm, cut the check
Give it here, and don't say nuthin'
Give it here, and don't say nuthin', come on
