LYRICS FOR "Say What You Say"
So I'm out the game huh?
Huh? Yo Dre
Whatever
Haha! Well I'm witcha homies
Okay
I was born to brew up storms and stir up s***
Kick up dust
Grew up too quick went through too much do too much s***
Corrupt
Thick and rich
Dre told me to milk the s*** for what it's worth
'Til the cow just tilts and tips and stumbles to earth
And if I fumble the verse
First take
No punches pulled no punches that's weak s***
Fake s***
Wasn't for him
Creep wit me
Been here longer than anyone in the game
And I ain't got to lie about my age
(But what about Jermaine?)
F*** Jermaine!
He don't belong speakin' mine or Timbaland's name
And don't think
Your lil' interviews
I'm a giant
When I see you I'ma step on you and not even know it
You midget
Runnin' around your backyard swimmin' pools
Over 80 million records sold
And I ain't have to do it with ten or eleven year olds
'Cause what you say is what you say
How you say it whenever you sayin' it
How you said it when you were sprayin' it
So who you playin' with
'Cause what you say is what you say
How you say it whenever you sayin' it
How you said it when you were sprayin' it
So who you playin' with
Second verse
Amateurs drink veteran piss
From a Dixie Cup
Or confuse me with a Canibus or Dre with a duori
We'll rub it in
Blackballed and make sure you never rap a-f*****' gain
Dre ain't havin' it
If there was some magic s***
I could wave over the industry that could save it when I'm gone
And buried to make sure the tradition carries on
If I could only use this power for good
I wouldn't
From the hood and I'm a hornet
And I'ma only sting when I'm cornered
And I'ma only sucka punch and swing without warning
And swing to knock somebody's f*****' head off
'Cause I know if they get up I won't get a chance to let off
Another punch I'm punk rock
Don't give a f***! White 'Pac
When I was little I knew I would blow up and sell a mill'
And grow up
And I'm
One puff of the chron'
I'm alive and on top again
There's no obstacle that I can't conquer
So come along with us
(Come on!)
'Cause what you say is what you say
How you say it whenever you sayin' it
How you said it when you were sprayin' it
So who you playin' with
'Cause what you say is what you say
How you say it whenever you sayin' it
How you said it when you were sprayin' it
So who you playin' with
Now anybody who knows Dre
Knows I'm about fast cars and Aliza
But I handle my business 'cause it's work before play
Don't look for trouble but I'll serve you gourmet
However you want it
You f*** my night up I'ma f*** up your day
Bullet with your name
That goes for anyone who walks through that doorway
'Cause this is my space
And you die tryin' to violate it
F*** around
Heh
'Cause what you say is what you say
Is two different things
Think too many things
Little hit of Dre's weed
Catch a contact then I'm gone and I'm back
I speed right and my loose leaf's my launchpad
And I can pull any string
Don't have to prove anything
You headed West
You better get a vest
In somethin' to protect your head and neck
And it's back and forth all day like Red and Meth
I joke when I say I'm best
In the booth
And if I ever do live to be a legend
I'ma die a sudden death
Five mics in the source? Ain't holdin' my f*****' breath
But I'll suffocate for the respect
'Fore I'll breathe to collect a f*****' check
'Cause what you say is what you say
How you say it whenever you sayin' it
How you said it when you were sprayin' it
So who you playin' with
'Cause what you say is what you say
How you say it whenever you sayin' it
How you said it when you were sprayin' it
So who you playin' with
Watch your f*****' mouth
Yo this Timbaland
