[50 Cent]

Hey Em, you know you my favorite white boy right?

I, I owe you for this one

CHORUS [50 Cent]

I been patiently waitin' for a track to explode on (Yeah!)

You can stun if you want and yo' ass'll get rolled on (It's 50)

It feels like my flow's been hot for so long (Yeah!)

If you thinkin' I'ma fuckin' fall off you so wrong (It's 50)

[50 Cent]

I been pacin' in my head

like a baby born dead

Destination heaven

Sittin' poli-tical passengers from nine eleven (Yeah!)

The lord's blessings leave me lyrically inclined (uh-huh)

Shit I ain't even got to try to shine (woooh)

Gods to seamstress the tailor fitted my pane

I got scriptures in my brain

I can spit at yo' dame

Straight out the good, fuck

Look, niggas is shook

50 fear no man warrior

Swing swords like Conan

Picture me, pen in hand write lines

Knowin' The Source will quote it

When I die, they'll read this and say a genius wrote it

I grew up without my pops should that make me bitter?

I caught cases I copped out, does that make me a quitter?

In this white mans world, I'm similar to a squirrel

Lookin' for a slut wit' a nice butt to get a nut

If I get shot today my phone'll stop ringin' again

These industry niggas ain't friends

They know how to pretend

Chorus 2x

[Eminem]

We been patiently waiting to make it through all the hatin' debatin'

Whether or not you can even weather the storm

Unless you lay on the table, they operatin' to save you

It's like an angel came to you sent from the heavens above

They think they crazy but they ain't crazy let's face it

Shit basically they just playin' sick

They ain't shit they ain't sayin' shit sprayin' 50

A to the K get in the way

I bring Dre and them wit' me

and turn this day into fuckin' mayhem you stayin' wit' me?

Don't let me lose you

I'm not tryin' to confuse you

when I let loose wit' this uzi and just shoot through your Isuzu

You get the message, am I gettin' through to you?

You know it's comin'

You motherfuckers don't even know do you?

Take some Big and some Pac

and you mix them up in a pot

sprinkle a little Big L on top

what the fuck do you got?

You got the realest and illest killas tied up in a knot

The juggernauts of this rap shit, like it or not

It's like a fight to the top just to see who died for the spot

You put your life in this

Nothin' like survivin' the shot

Y'all know what time it is

Soon as 50 signs on this dot

Shit what you know about death threats?

'Cause I get a lot

Shady Records was 80 seconds away from the towers

Them cowards fucked wit' the wrong buildin'

They meant to hit ours

Better evacuate all children (wooh)

Nuclear showers there's nothin' spookier

You're now about to witness the power of fuckin' 50

Chorus

[50 Cent]

The gun squad y'all when the shots go off

It's 50 they say it's 50

See a nigga laid out wit' his fuckin' top blown off

It's 50 man, that boy 50

Don't holla my name

You shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glass house

and if you got a glass jaw you should watch yo' mouth

'Cause I'll break yo' face

Have yo ass runnin' mumblin' to the J

You go against me dawg, you makin' a mistake

I'll split you leave you lookin' like the Michael Jackson jackets

wit' all them zippers

I'm the boss on this boat, you can call me Skipper

The way I turn the money over you should call me Flipper

You a bitch a regular bitch

You callin' up wifey

I fucked and feed her fast food

You keepin' her icey

I'm down to sell records but, not my soul

Snoop said this in '94, "We don't love them hoes"

I got pennies for my dawgs now I'm rich

See the 20's spinnin' lookin' mean on the 6

Niggas wearin' flags 'cause the colors match their clothes

they get caught in the wrong hood

and get filled up wit' holes, motherfucker

Chorus 2x
