LYRICS FOR "I'm Shady"
Who came through with two Glocks to terrorize your borough
Told you how to slap dips and murder your girl
Gave you all the finger and told you to sit and twirl
Sold a billion tapes and still screamed f*** the world
So come and kill me while my name's hot
And shoot me twenty five times in the same spot
Think I've got a generation brainwashed
To pop pills and smoke pot till they brains rot
Stop they blood flow 'til they veins clot
I need a pain shot
Purple haze and acid raindrops
Spike the punch at the party and drain pop
Shaved my armpits and wore a tank top
Bad Boy
Gotta make 'em fear you before you make 'em feel you
So everybody buy my s*** or I?ma come and kill you
I got mushrooms
I'm your brother when you need some new weed to set you free
You know me
I'm Shady
I like happy things
I like birds
I like funny things that make me happy and gleeful
Like when my teacher sucked my wee-wee in preschool
The ill type
While I blow my brain out
And this is how I am in real life
I don't want to just die a normal death
How you wanna scare somebody with a gun threat
When they're high off of drugs they haven't even done yet
So bring the money by tonight
'Cause your wife says this is the biggest knife she ever saw in her life
I try to keep it positive and play it cool
Shoot up the playground and tell the kids to stay in school
'Cause I'm the one they can relate to and look up to better
Tonight I think I'll write my biggest fan a 'F*** you' letter
I got mushrooms
I'm your brother when you need some new weed to set you free
You know me
I'm Shady
Yo
Six months later you hear your lyrics on my s***
People don't buy s*** no more they just dub it
That's why I'm still broke and had the number one club hit
But they love it when you make your business public
So f*** it
And if I told you I had AIDS y'all would play it
'Cause you stupid m************ think I'm playin' when I say it
I do take pills
Don't do crack
Don't do smack
Do drink beer
My baby mama's not dead
And I don't have herpes
It's not syphilis
I don't know yet
I got mushrooms
I'm your brother when you need some new weed to set you free
You know me
I'm Shady
I told you I was Shady
I'm Shady and that's my name
