Hell nah You can't handle a man of my superior strength I've been rockin' for years, now it's time to go to length Bitin' emcees in their tracks I stop 'em My rhyme style makin' turn dropper? My concepts come sick like Dennis Hopper I jack fools up and stick em like dirty coppers Like I said before I'm takin' you lame whores Down to the phone, knock his ass on your good balls Only one way to deal with these softies Take they ass out like heroes and they flossin' And when you tell me you better bring styles 'Cause mine can go on and on and on for miles [Chorus: x3] You can't get the best of me Can't get the best of me You can't get the best of me [Repeats] (Can't hold me down) Can't get the best of me (Can't hold me down) Five roll with the weakest What you need is ? the chrome plated heater So you can peep this Tragedy had to be in your mind soakin' in Sad to see you broken down Not at least broken in Can't stop some hill shit From comin' though The reality is out with the old And with the new Ways and things change With strange haids of braids shade? Switch place life and life plays with thumb pain? Does and untrues, the mobb leaves no clues In the dark confused, we choose to eat you Out the whole stroke away so I can listen-a We don't stop if you can't f*ck commissioner [Chorus: Repeats] Nigga get up on a rhymin' ? Takin' out crews who think they are baddest Mad dog Sen for real is the maddest F*ck you punk and you're A&R status I stand in a zone though I'm never alone be Real got my back checkin' at your dome So when it comes down to who's (Spanish) I'm down for the pound and slangin' the (Spanish) (Whole line in Spanish) Gonna make a move and smoke your fuckin' hot-show Remove that sucker and the wack-ass shit 'Cause every time I see he's actin' like a bitch So let's get it straight I smoke the competition Breakin' down fools in my muthafuckin' mission One by one they'll all come out missin' You can't f*ck with this here kid I ain't bitchin' [Chorus: x12] (Can't hold me down) You can't get the best of me (Can't hold me down) Can't get the best of me (Can't hold me down) You can't get the best of me You can't get the best of me
