[1st verse]

I can shut a nigga down so quick my sounds so sick

My talents spread around while I'm holdin my dick

My dingling shit flip emaculate

Evolutionary flows y'all want more dough

Make wit the best get the best all the rest hit 'em less

Rip a nigga from the East to the West

Just a lyrical maze lyrical days

God works in mysterious ways

I'm the warlord of war relieve the raw dog

Niggas ain't even comin close to my low score

Niggas fleein when I'm rippin on the hard core beat

That's slammin through your jeep like a 44 Mack to your back

Nigga L never got rip by a trackI don't fuck around, always comeback

For the lyrical miracle day one platinum plaque right off theback

Looked at every nigga wit the mic on my arm

A time-bomb blowin up ring the alarm

Cool double O flow well to the LL

I'm leave the world looking hard as hell

[chorus]

8x I shut 'em down

(Get Off Me!!, You Can't Hold Me!!)

[2nd verse]

To the next plateau niggas bet my flow

Betta bet I role wit more control

Gotta bring the heat that eliminate who can't compete

Spit razors to rip the beat

Relentless endless friendless when it comes to the lyrical mack

Now off my back stack 'em drag 'em now feds waggin

Hear you fassen place on the blood of my veins without passion

Mashin take a little time to think the rhyme out

How to find out

Bump and grind out

Pump the lines out

I'ma show what the microphone is all about without doubt

C to the double O bounce in the bubble eye limo

No I ain't checkin for you bull shit demo

Everytime you hear me in a battle I'm lethal

Nigga too sweet 'n low you aint equal

[chorus]

I shut 'em down (16x)

(after the 8th time)Get Off Me!!, You Can't Hold Me!!)

[3rd verse]

I can take you to the level if I let my phantom

Nigga bout to rule the world wit one anthem

Kidnapped rap for a handsome ransom

Smoke a little Branson on the side of the mansion

Keep it thugged out even when a nigga dancing

Branson make that trans and keep it dancing

I'm a murder every nigga in the game

Can't stand the rain

Fuck a maintain

Gotta leave the world in flames

Nigga wanna live life stay out of my lanes

Tryin to read my name

Here's a murderous combo wit you on your pain

Sideways stimulator bringin the flames

Niggas wanna feel me spit the whole clips

Sing along it will split your lip

45 wit an name on the grip

Niggas said you wanna batlle

Nigga now talk shit

[chorus]

8x I shut 'em down

(Get Off Me!!, You Can't Hold Me!!)
