C'mon fresh from London, Paris, Germany
It's Euro Jay (Haha) , International Hov
Bonsoir, motherfuckers, we back
As if we never left this bitch, huh, Ty?
It's worldwide
Still just blazin' this shit up (Woo)

Every place I visit, I got land there
How could niggas stand there and say
I sound like them? Hell no push wigs back
Push Bentley drops that's yellow
Started from the elbow, nigga
From the get-go
No, not the Geico, ain't nothing accidental
Just the facts that I've been through
Perhaps if you was into
Half of the shit I've been through
That'd make your pen move
Your mind would open, your heart would bleed
Instead y'all niggas flow, oh, so retardedly
You sound retarded to me, how
Could you stand there, pants there
Down to your ass, you won't spar with me
I'll put you down in the grass
It's the God MC
Young V-I T-O, youngin, you are my hijo
My son dula, I clean the cesspool up
Rap stinks, haha, you cats are the Sphinx
You cut off your nose to spite your face
Bet you like it that way, don't ya?

Don't you know when you're defeated
Young punk? Won't you throw, won't you
Throw in the towel, stop running your mouth?
Don't you know that we know
You just running your mouth?
'Cause when this shit pops off
Y'all gonna run in your house
Don't you know when you're defeated
Young punk? Won't you throw
Won't you throw in the towel?
I'm better with vowels
My vocabulary murders the dictionary
Flow switches every sixteen, the shit mean
Man

Shit, I'm heavy in the game
I ain't worried 'bout a thing
Last man standing, blam-blamming the cannon
48 Hours, it's Reggie Hammond, the Colt be
Nick Nolte, my demeanor is Humphrey Bogie
Baby i'm comfy-cozy, my spot is solidified
Rock-a-bye, baby, I sing you a lullaby
How ill am I? BK to Philadi ('Delphia)
Niggas feelin' how real am I, shit
I carry two Taurus, niggas
They call me Gemini
Though my birthday is one
Day before December five
It's S carter the archer, I throw darts at ya
Arrows through your apparel
I will dearly depart ya
It's clearly hard for ya
What God has bestowed on me
You're not as raw as me nigga, nigga
I'm poetry
In four part harmony, it's like Jodeci
Check out my melody, my flow is a felony
Oh, I'm so seventies
I'm in tune with the heavenly
Governing body, check, check
Check out my destiny
I walk leaving four footprints, my hood sense
My book smarts
My faith of the unknown and a good heart
What's seldom shown is the good part
Like I said, you try to bring 'em life
But they want dead
You won't listen, Hov is a nice guy
But don't diss him
That'll piss him off quick, you won't listen

Don't you know when you're defeated
Young punk? Won't you throw, won't you
Throw in the towel, stop running your mouth?
Don't you know that we know
You're just running your mouth?
'Cause when this shit pops off you
Gon' run in your house
Don't you know when you're defeated
Young punk? Won't you throw
Won't you throw in the towel?
I'm better with vowels
My vocabulary murders the dictionary
Flow switches every sixteen, the shit mean
Man

C'mon, man, c'mon, man c'mon, man
Woo, c'mon, man c'mon, man
Fat shout the whole Roc
