3:23To your bodyguard's Oochie
3:24Wally's verse better than yours
3:26Matter of fact you had the worst
3:27Flow on the whole entire song
3:29But I know the sun don't shine then son don't shine

3:35It's only so long fake thugs can pretend
3:37Homie you ain't live it
3:38You witnessed it from your folks' pad
3:40You scribbled it in your notepad and created your life
3:42I showed you your first TEC on tour with Large Professor
3:45Then I heard your album 'bout your TEC on the dresser
3:47So yeah I sampled your voice you was using it wrong
3:50You made it a hot line I made it a hot song
3:53And you ain't get a coin homie you was getting plugged then
3:56I know who I paid God Serchlite Publishing
3:58Use your brain
4:00You said you've been in this ten
4:01I've been in it five smarten up Nas
4:03Four albums in ten years homie I could divide
4:06That's one every two two of them things was due
4:09One was nah the other was Illmatic
4:11That's a one-hot-album-every-ten-year average
4:14And that's so lame
4:16Homie switch up your flow
4:17Your s**t is garbage what you trying to kick knowledge
4:19You cats gonna learn to respect the king
