God MC me Jay-Hova

Hey lil' soldier you ain't ready for war

ROC too strong for y'all

It's like bringing a knife to a gunfight pen to a test

Your chest in the line of fire with your thin-a*s vest

You bringing them boys to men how them boys gon' win

This is grown man BI get you rolled into triage bi-atch

Your reach ain't long enough dunny

Your peeps ain't strong enough uh uh

Roc-A-Fella is the army better yet the navy

Sure we will kidnap your babies spit at your lady

We bring knife to fistfight kill your Grandma

We kill you iddy bitty ants with a sledgehammer

Don't let me do it to 'em dunny 'cause I overdo it

So he won't confuse it with just rap music

I don't care if you Mobb Deep I hold triggers to crews

You little I got money stacks bigger than you

When I was pushing weight back in 88

You was a ballerina I got the pictures I seen ya

Then you dropped shook ones switched your demeanor

Well we don't believe you you need more people

Roc-A-Fella students of the game we passed the class

'Cause nobody can read you dudes like we do

Don't let 'em gas you like

Jigga is a*s and won't clap you

Trust me on this one I'll detach you

Mind from spirit body from soul

They'll have to hold a mass put your body in a hole

Oh no you're not on my level get your brakes tweaked

I sold what your whole album sold in my first week

You guys don't want it with Hov

Ask Nas he don't want it with Hov no

Nas the fame

But along with celebrity comes

'Bout seventy shots to your frame homie

You's a lame

Know you's the fag model for Karl Kani Esco ads

Went from Nasty Nas to Esco's trash

Had a spark when you started but now you're just garbage

Fell from top ten to not mentioned at all

To your bodyguard's Oochie

Wally's verse better than yours

Matter of fact you had the worst

Flow on the whole entire song

But I know the sun don't shine then son don't shine

That's why your lame career's come to an end

It's only so long fake thugs can pretend

Homie you ain't live it

You witnessed it from your folks' pad

You scribbled it in your notepad and created your life

I showed you your first TEC on tour with Large Professor

Then I heard your album 'bout your TEC on the dresser

So yeah I sampled your voice you was using it wrong

You made it a hot line I made it a hot song

And you ain't get a coin homie you was getting plugged then

I know who I paid God Serchlite Publishing

Use your brain

You said you've been in this ten

I've been in it five smarten up Nas

Four albums in ten years homie I could divide

That's one every two two of them things was due

One was nah the other was Illmatic

That's a one-hot-album-every-ten-year average

And that's so lame

Homie switch up your flow

Your s**t is garbage what you trying to kick knowledge

You cats gonna learn to respect the king

Don't be the next contestant on that Unplugged screen

Because you-know-who did you-know-what with you-know who

But let's keep that between me and you ma
