Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, back from the dead like Michael Jackson in red jackets
With naps in my head
Who's white or black? It's a rare package
Get smacked if you said that
I'm neck and neck with these square rappers
My guest room's got platinum plaques and a air mattress
No time for furniture shoppin', too busy burnin' you
Watchin' you, learnin' you
Word to Pac, I'm plottin' to murder you
Sure the thought didn't occur to you
My next album flop, then I'm goin' pop, like Nelly
With tops dropped on convertible Porches
Burn sinner, not burnin' no crosses
Might burn a couple bridges, I'm losin' by double digits
I gotta do something, fightin' depression, I'm tryin', my ****
But every time I think about it, I'm cryin', my ****
Cried myself to sleep on thousand dollar sheets
I reek of the scent of a vendetta that's deep
I'm playin for keeps, but you ain't think I'd bounce back
They love to hear a black **** count stacks, count stacks
[Verse 2]
Forty-thousand in my pocket, you see it?
Another twenty on the way, you see it?
I got a fist full of dollars, you see it?
Five hunnid for the J's, you see it?
I got money out the ass, you see it?
I thought I'd never see the day, you see it?
They put a price on my head, you see it?
But they won't ever have to pay, you see it?
[Verse 3]
I fell down on my knees and yeah, I prayed
'Cause heaven seems a million miles away
I dreamed of all the things that I would say
On that day
[Verse 4]
But for now I'm cookin' up in Hells Kitchen, Hells Kitchen
****, fuck you and your fake well wishin'
Now get outta Hells Kitchen, Hells Kitchen
Tell my story, I'm just hopin' they'll listen
Cookin' up in Hells Kitchen, Hells Kitchen
****, fuck you and your fake well wishin'
Now get outta Hells Kitchen, Hells Kitchen
One day, hey
[Verse 5]
Yeah, omission's usually an admission of guilt
Hari-kari yourself, all the way to the hilt
You get nothing, no love
Zip, zero, zilch
We don't mention you lames, man, I be pleadin' the fifth
There's a Judas in every crew, concealed in a kiss
Kiss of death, let's put the rest all to tedious bits
Fuck sake, you **** emanate effeminate traits
Bitch ****, we can never relate, nah
'Cause, man, you **** is birds
You learn that at bird school, or something?
You eatin' that bird food, or something?
You sick with that bird flu, or something?
That's my word, 'cause everywhere I turn
When folks I known for years, that couldn't pronounce my name
And askin' me for pics, there's something 'bout this game
It's something for the bitches, it's something for the bitches
[Verse 6]
Forty-thousand in my pocket, you see it?
Another twenty on the way, you see it?
I got a fist full of dollars, you see it?
Five hunnid for the J's, you see it?
I got money out the ass, you see it?
I thought I'd never see the day, you see it?
They put a price on my head, you see it?
But they won't ever have to pay, you see it?
[Verse 7]
I fell down on my knees and yeah, I prayed
'Cause heaven seems a million miles away
I dreamed of all the things that I would say
On that day
[Verse 8]
But for now I'm cookin' up in Hells Kitchen, Hells Kitchen
****, fuck you and your fake well wishin'
Now get outta Hells Kitchen, Hells Kitchen
Tell my story, I'm just hopin' they'll listen
Cookin' up in Hells Kitchen, Hells Kitchen
****, fuck you and your fake well wishin'
Now get outta Hells Kitchen, Hells Kitchen
One day, hey
