Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Oow) Luda!
I done killed so many ****'s in the booth
I sell rappers on eBay (Hey)
'Cause everyone of my verses been instant like replays (Hey)
Speaker's get blown like candle's on your B-day
'Cause Luda's catalog got mo' records than the DJ (Woo)
The bank yells MayDay, 'cause everyday's a payday
I put it on tape and then I'll sell it like Ray J
But not out the sto' (Nope), straight to the buyer
'Cause I slung 'em out my trunk like the D.C. sniper
And six albums later you'll deposit every word
'Til your memory bank gives me the credit I deserve
Top five, damn right, but really it just hit me
That three of yo top five's too scared to fuck with me (Woo)
So how can I advance if you don't give me no opponents? (Yeah)
How can you see the future if you livin' for the moment? (Yeah)
Hip-hop couldn't die, I never offer my condolence
But I'll offer y'all a day of atonement
[Verse 2]
'Cause I'm a lyricist to the death, so I got what you need
Ludacris, I'm the last of a dyin' breed
And we almost extinct, so I'm sayin' it loud
Say it wit' me, MC means move the crowd
Say it wit' me, MC means move the crowd
Say it wit' me, MC means move the crowd
M, MC, means move, means move, means move, means move the crowd
[Verse 3]
I got it baby
And I'm an MC, I move the crowd like Moses
Like the Red Sea, I wear red like roses
Go against me and you'll be dead like roses
Spittin' at your head, full of bread like toasters
Never had a holster, I keep it on my lap
And hip-hop ain't dead, it just had a heart attack
But you see I keep it pumpin', yeah I got that heart back
So just call me lil' Carter, or lil' Cardiac
Precious like an artifact, valuable like a quarterback
Hannibal like they call me Jack, throwback like the starter hat
Now how did he thought of that?
I mean how did he think of that?
I mean how did I thank of that?
Now like a rental bring it back
I mean how did I think of that?
I surprise myself sometimes
Someone should throw me a surprise party for every rhyme
Every time I do it, I do it dirty like swine
For the dirty and five, hip-hop, I'm alive!
[Verse 4]
I'm a lyricist to the death and I got what you need
Weezy F, the last of the dyin' breed
And we almost extinct, so I'm sayin' it loud
Say it wit' me, MC means move the crowd
Say it wit' me, MC means move the crowd
Say it wit' me, MC means move the crowd
M, MC, means move, means move, means move, means move the crowd
[Verse 5]
(Oow) They say O'Reilly don't like him (Nope)
Oprah won't invite him (Nope)
The president denounced him (No)
No one will announce him (No!)
Controversial lyrics like I'm cryin' for help (Woo)
Very talented but I should be ashamed of myself (Woo)
But this is my art (Art), this is my music (Hey)
I'm speakin' from the heart, hit record and I'll lose it
Bite my tongue for no one, I'll put you on blast (Blast)
To all the news channels ya'll can kiss my ass
And if I dish it I can take it (Yeah)
Fix it if you break it (Yeah)
To hit rock bottom and I'm still gon' make it (Why?)
'Cause I'm a born hustler, natural survivor
Seed of a gangsta, I put that on my father
Youtube or Google me, turn it up and play it (Hey)
'Cause many people think it, I just had the balls to say it (What?)
And risk losin' everything, I stand for the weak
Plus I live for my freedom of speech ('Cause)
[Verse 6]
I'm a lyricist to the death so I got what you need
Ludacris, I'm the last of a dyin' breed
And we almost extinct, so I'm sayin' it loud
Say it wit' me, MC means move the crowd
Say it wit' me, MC means move the crowd
Say it wit' me, MC means move the crowd
M, MC, means move, means move, means move, means move the crowd
