Yo, I read alert y'all, I read alert y'all And now we toot on the horn and ring on the bell Cause I am the man with the clientele Rock a rhyme for me and then a rhyme for you And everybody catch the boogaloo flu I like the apple to the peach, the cherry to the plum I used to think I was God I really thought I was king Yo, M.I.E. my imagination's creation I had to get paid, I had a better way to debt him So the suckers were slayed I had to get up and smash him, beat him down and bash him Stompin' through the garden fully hardened to the maximum Rhymin' like an animal, the cannibal king Eat a sucker, break a knocker, but I never could sing Had a beef with every rapper, I could see him for miles And when I saw him, had to blow him, leave him layin' in piles Made a dollar while I holla, had to follow me round Rappers fearin' when their hearing run was breakin' them down And every time I had to rhyme, my job was thoroughly done And I never lost a battle I used to think I was God I really thought I was king Now I was sittin' up in Cali from the alley in Queens Breakin' records, never know exactly just what it means Sellin' records, makin' money just to throw in the air Rockin' sneakers, boxin' speakers, everyday a new pair Nothing boring, steady touring, livin' life without care And if I wasn't on the cover of your paper was rare Even mommy would remind me and rewind me the truth Suckerfellas out there jealous, I was rough in my youth Raisin' hell and steady yellin', freezin', rockin' the goose And in the summer on the come up, I was clockin' the loot Now come with me and let's remember how we rockin' for fun It's your mama's favorite rapper I used to think I was God I really thought I was king Now back in Hollis, thinkin' dollars was a serious day So me and D, we had to get it, then we split it with J Drop it up and flip a buck and drive a sucker away Never smilin', steady wildin', never needin' to play Me and part of Hollis crew and how we do it with Ray Come in town and throw it down and then we pee on our way Now remember this cause it was this and that's just how it was done I used to think I was God I really thought I was king Come on!
