Lyrics

[Intro]

Hey sucka ****, whoever you are

Hey sucka ****, whoever you are

Hey sucka ****, hey sucka ****

Whoever you are, whoever you are

[Verse 1]

Hey yo, turn it up in my headphones

Turn everything up in the headphones

Including my vocals

Yeah that's good, and my vocals a little bit

Put the upper bass line in

[Verse 2]

I be hating sucka MC's, and the sucka ****

Posing like they hard when we know they damn card

What you figure? Rhyme-wise, I do the figure eight

So concisely, musically we are the herb

So sit back and light me, inhale

My style is kinda fat, reminiscent of a whale

Young girls desires for the females dreams

I be the Abstract Poetic representing from Queens

Socially I'm not a name, black and white got game

If you came to the jam, well I'm glad you came

See, **** first was used back in the Deep South

Falling out between the dome of the white man's mouth

It means that we will never grow, you know the word, dummy

Other **** in the community think it's crummy

But I don't, neither does the youth 'cause we

Em-brace adversity, it goes right with the race

And being that we use it as a term of endearment

**** start to bug, to the dome is where the fear went

Now the little shorties say it all of the time

And a whole bunch of **** throw the word in they rhyme

Yo I start to flinch, as I try not to say it

But my lips is like the oowop as I start to spray it

[PreChorus]

My lips is like a oowop as I start to spray it

My lips is like a oowop as I start to spray it

[Chorus]

Sucka ****, **** ****

I throw the sucka in the front for the ones that front

The sucka ****, **** ****

I throw the sucka in the front for the ones that front

The sucka ****, **** ****

I throw the sucka in the front for the ones that front

The sucka ****, **** ****

It's the neo-**** of the nineties, c'mon

[Verse 3]

I be hatin' sucka MC's, and the sucka ****

Posin' like they hard when we know they damn card

What you figure? Rhyme-wise, I do the figure eight

So concisely, musically we are the herb

So sit back and light me, inhale

My style is kinda fat, reminiscent of a whale

Young girls desires for the females dreams

I be the Abstract Poetic representing from Queens

Socially I'm not a name, black and white got game

If you came to the jam, well I'm glad you came

See, **** first was used down in the Deep South

Falling out between the dome of the white man's mouth

It means that we will never grow, you know the word, dummy

Other **** in the community think it's crummy

But I don't, neither does the youth 'cause we

Em-brace adversity, it goes right with the race

Yo, I start to flinch, as I try not to say it

But my lips is like a oowop as I start to spray it

[PreChorus]

My lips is like a oowop as I start to spray it

My lips is like a oowop, yo, you know the rest

[Chorus]

The sucka ****, **** ****

I throw the sucka in the front for the ones that front

The sucka ****, **** ****

I throw the suckas in the front for the ones that front

The sucka ****, **** ****

I throw the sucka in the front for the ones that front

Sucka ****, **** ****

[Outro]

Ayo, Shaheed, take us the fuck outta here
