It's a dog eat dog competition (no doubt) 
I'll be gone like you're wishin (and i'm out) 
'Cause i ain't got time 
For hangin around 

When you're fuckin' my love 
In all the wrong places 
It's a dog eat dog competition (no doubt) 
I'll be gone like you're wishin (and i'm out) 

'Cause i ain't got time 
For hangin around 
When you're fuckin' my love 
In all the wrong places 

Extra  extra 
What's that all about? 
I'm wishin the position 
Of my loving's sorted out 

I shed a tear cause i'm hearin' 
Nothing new or particular 
Status once parallel 
Now it's perpendicular 

And everything is just as clear as day 
Realistically explicit 
In the things you say 
I guess a "bitch" in the batter's 

Gonna make the flavor fatter 
But you gots to keep it for real 
Forget about your jewels and gems 
You won't be needin 

None of them 
The tool'll fix the era 
My mellow used to wear a 
Namebuckle, now he chuckle 

'Cause he earn a dime Quicker 
Talkin bout a burnin' 
Sippin on some malt liQuor 
And all these kiddies 

Wishin they were supa emcees 
But to earn my "s" 
I had to learn some less 
About a crime'll make million 

A dime'll make a call 
I'd rather hop on the line 
And drop a rhyme to prince paul 
'Cause it's a dog eat dog competition (no doubt) 

I'll be gone like you're wishin (and i'm out) 
'Cause i ain't got time 
For hangin around 
When you're fuckin' my love 

In all the wrong places 
Hey kid 
What's the word? 
Man, it's all about mind 

Keeping focused 
On them self-mechanisms of rhyme 
So no longer stand erect 
'Cause your thoughts are drained 

Walkin' round 
Manifesting attributes of shame 
Used to sQuabble for the mic 
But now accordingly 

We act 
Unless a club can't afford the fee 
We act 
So name that any best man 

To put us under 
Created from the ground 
Yet know nothin 
'Bout the under 

Take a glimpse 
At them pimps 
Playin record exec 
Addin up all your zeros 

So's to cut you a check 
Saying why the blunder wonder 
Could've g'd today 
So you can put up some swings 

For your seed to play 
But a swing ain't that important 
When the park's around the corner 
Filled with life causing death 

Greeting victims for the morning 
It was the moment i feared 
Nah, the moment i steered 
Upon the right path 

To know the right math 
To over stand 
It's a dog eat dog competition (no doubt) 
I'll be gone like you're wishin (and i'm out) 

'Cause i ain't got time 
For hangin around 
When you're fuckin my love 
In all the wrong places
