[Round 1: Calicoe]
Lux, you are a grown man. You brought a casket with you?
Either you had dyin’ in your plans
Or you have an excessive amount of time on your hands
But let me talk, on the real, Smack
The media’s just tried to f** my life up
sh** almost got real, Smack
But I’m a man of my word, ‘cause I’m real, Smack
Ain’t no f**ing animals getting k**ed, Smack
Ain’t no pitbull or roosters getting k**ed, Smack
If I was the head of an operation
Y’all think I would’ve filmed that?
Now I guess they think Cal is just that ruthless
Now I’m disappointed in my fans
For even thinking I’m that stupid
So I’m supposed to say some sh**
That I don’t really do, so I ain’t hot, son?
I mean Shotgun say he a g**ner, but he not one
Bill Collector say he got the burner, but he ain’t got one
That was just a situation from a n***a to learn a lot from
But then you got n***as like Arsonal got the nerve to tweet
“Cal must don’t give a f** about his career.”
I guess I give a f** about yours, at the end of our battle
When you was whisperin’ in my ear, saying
“Calicoe, can you please get me the f** up outta here?”
You got the nerve to laugh and joke about some sh** that can land me behind bars begging for my rights
But you was in the middle of my city, begging for your life
Surf got knocked, you didn’t give a f**
You was begging for your flight
But I was thinking drop everything and bail him out tonight
But you know why these n***as can’t get with me?
‘Cause I went from the bottom to the top
I’m officially the smartest n***a in Smack history
If you disagree, you probly a n***a that don’t mean sh** to me
I went from Lux to Nuborn within a year? I make history
Remember Goodz was talking about a patent leather vest
Or Calicoe versus Cortez
Or something I wanted y’all to get to see
It’s funny how sh** change, right? ‘Cause now I’m the n***a that send them through other n***as to get to me
It ain’t a mystery, Lux, we know you been here
But you ain’t take a shot at a motherf**er in 10 years
So when I expose him they all gon’ hate me
What I’m saying is, it don’t matter if you loaded, Lux
When that gun on safety
They told me I had you, I said: “I’ma box that boy.”
They say he be getting loud, well, f** it, I’ma stop that noise
For the last 10 years them legends been living through us
‘Cause they got no voice
Only reason they back in the URL
Is ‘cause all their careers failed, and they ain’t got no choice
That K clap, it’ll push your sh** way back
You think them j**els rocky, that’s why I’m taking ’em ASAP
I got some sh** that’ll make a n***a lay flat
The silencer on it, call it Pat, ‘cause it don’t say jack
You don’t make the rules, my n***as be shaking tools
Make a move, BOOM!
His brains spread everywhere, like breaking news
No disrespect to y’all city, but I’m just saying, in my city
That type of sh** right there don’t even make the news
Y’all know who I’m with, BMF, that sign stitched
Read it in the fine print, I’m kidnapping your whole family
I’m even duct-taping your mom, b**h
And we’ll never see his son again, turn that n***a to Don Trip
I see the games he play; officer Hoyt, this your training day
You thought this the method to the top
This the dangerous way; y’all saw what I did last year
Well, f** it, I’ll do the same today
It’s obvious I’ve been eating n***as
‘Cause I ain’t lost since I’ve been gaining weight
But you say the fastest way through Harlem is the A train
That’s how I know he never had a chance
‘Cause I’m shooting without a cameraman, so when I pop, the fastest way through Harlem is in an ambulance
But we ain’t never see him sparkin’ up the chrome
I’ll catch him in his crib, they’ll have to chalk him in his home
Or I’ll catch him on his block while he’s walkin’ all alone
And put the pound on his chin, like he talkin’ on the phone
You a great rapper, Lux, I’ll never tell you to give it up
But if you ain’t saying some sh** they can relate to
They don’t give a f**; Landslide!
[Round 1: Loaded Lux]
This for the brothers up north getting full on that Jack Mac
First Smack back, we got a n***a to backsmack
And you gon love it. It’s gon’ be a lot of head rolls
Breath hold ’til the d**h toll, you know
You Detroit n***as came to get divided
But y’all gone always come together at funerals
You’ve even now decided
But why is this done every time that the preacher signs in? Well, it’s a sign in; look at all these portraits of my corpses
I’m just waiting on you n***as sizes
I can have the pain in your pit paned into a tweet frame
Get Eminem to 8 mile by 10 it, or Royce to 5’9 it
Though hip hop don’t need
Any more of these n***as dying behind it
You keep tryin’, but all you n***as is good for is deep fryin’
They told your daddy, in him, a great gene was hidin’
Well, he should’ve kept it in his jeans
Your life would’ve had a better fight on a bed sheet dryin’
Rather than tryin’ to beat the mind as deep as a minin’
African diggin’ pa**ages halfway into China to reap a diamond
Let me be honest, when they break down
Every round that I’ve sketched, bouts
There’s nothing tougher than smooth
As the rusty tools in a shed house
You n***as came here playing, it’s cool
But y’all gon’ leave giving head counts
They didn’t even book you n***as rooms
I told ’em Harlem Hospital giving beds out
#
[Round 2: Calicoe]
New York City, is this how y’all gonna try to play me?
Math was shaking his hand
Like, “Goddamn, somebody saved me!”
But guess what, you thought he was gonna come up here
And treat me and make me look like a joke, n***a?
Sorry… Sike! He choked, n***a!
But I’ll beat your b**h-a**
And then make my b**h beat your b**h’ a**
See, we ain’t got to always talk about how we’ll let a clip blast
Let’s talk about some personal sh** about your snitch-a**
You told Smack, what, you know what?
I don’t even like when n***as do all that personal sh**
Boy, we’re face to face, how personal can personal get?
After I rob you, I’m taking all your personal sh**
Tell your b**h to get out the car
And leave her purse in the whip
I’m thirsty with clips, let me find out he workin’ with bricks
I’m squirtin’ some sh** that can leave him with a reversible hip
I swear to God, every bar and every verse that he spit
It just be all wordplay, sound like some nursery sh**
Y’all like wordplay? Alright, f** it, I’ll give him wordplay
It’s Tuesday, I’ll give him a week to pay me
But by the third day, I’m showing up
For that easy money, yeah, you heard Jay
You’re like, “It’s only Thursday.”
I don’t give a f** what that herb say
I’m letting the chopper rumble like an earthquake
‘Cause I just wanted a reason to k** him
I ain’t want the money in the first place
Do you snort coke, or is you a crackhead?
Yo, he ain’t gon’ f** with me, tell ‘em it don’t matter
‘Cause when that MAC spread, it’s gon’ hit back heads
And if he don’t die, he better lay down and act dead
I clap lead, roll with a chopper longer than Shaq leg
I got a shooter named Smokey
I tell him: “Hit everything on the list, my n***a;” that’s Craig
And if my n***a didn’t get locked up, he would’ve k**ed you
Free Hollow, them n***as acting like Hollow dead
f** Loaded Lux, I’ll get Lux loaded with all hollow-heads
But you’re a gangster, Lux? How?
Well, back in the day, I heard you was extorting n***as?
Nah, you was going down to the police station
And was reporting n***as; but I got Detroit shooters
That’s ready to cross that border, n***a
So when they come with the extendos
Them clips hanging like Florida, n***a
So it ain’t no coincidence when he missin’ in action
MIA, see most of y’all n***as missin’ the action
We don’t play, it’s only one reason I’m grippin’ the ratchet
First n***a to take the stand will forever sit in that casket
If I clip it, I blast it; if I live it, I rap it
That K flyin’, no K Shine when he’s zipped in a plastic
I’m ‘bout to flip on some nasty sh**, mainly ‘cause I hate n***as
It’s amazing how I draw somethin’ just to erase n***as
He thought I was a paid dentist, the way I left him rotten
And every tooth coming out his mouth if I put the K in it
Nicky Barnes, Frank Lucas, Alpo, they’re all from Harlem, right?
And they all eventually turned into rats
And from the looks of things Loaded Lux want to turn into that
‘Cause in his song called “Love Taps”
When he was dissin’ Math Hoffa, he clearly stated that Math was a student and he was the proctor, right?
You think him being a proctor, or you being a proctor make you the professor? Nah, let me teach you a lesson
The proctor, a n***a that monitors a student, and makes sure he or she doesn’t cheat during an examination
So basically, everything he talks about is a fabrication
You being a proctor only make you a b**h, and proves that you following Harlem footsteps will make you a snitch
So who do you think you convinced?
Like you’re some intelligent mobster
If Smack had a top five, you wouldn’t make the roster
Boy, don’t think it’s Olive Garden when I spot ya
Over cheese, them shells hittin’ his noodle; no pasta
I’m somethin’ like a shotter
And, n***a, you don’t want to sit here
I’ma squeeze until it click, click, then I’ma switch here
Ever since I battled Math, you’ve been acting like a b**h here
They told me I had Lux, I said, “f** it, he can pick where.”
n***a, I’m so raw and I put the smack down, let’s get sh** clear
This is the big show, and y’all wonder how I get here
Heard your mans got the pounds in his crib, I’m tryna get there
For the people’s elbows, I’ll rock him and let that ric flair
You’re a great rapper, Lux
I’ll never tell you to give it up, but if you ain’t saying some sh** they can’t relate to they don’t give a f**
[Round 2: Loaded Lux]
You was reaching, baby, you was climbin’ to be implyin’
My sneakers slidin’, like I’m slippin’, well, let me get a grip then
Round this n***a motherf**in’ neck
I’m gon’ put that pressure on it all night, and keep applyin’
You people buyin’ we equal-sided
This would seem a devised scheme disguised as a match
That’s what happen when Smack, he don’t screen the clients
All this work you put in, n***a
And you get the same simple a**ignment
And every time you line these n***as up
I got to do realignments
And Beasley, you lyin’, these kids paid for a bout on the big stage, and you gave ’em a rib cage to feed sheep to lion
Why wake the sleeping giant?
With a need for diet, a mean for green divided
A rap league of tyrants, and a child being defiant
Oh, I’m in battle mode
This sh** preferably, to show a prior professor the precise calculated correct methods of math, n***a
This is how you k**-k-k-k**-k** Calicoe
Talent show, this is God’s call
Youngin, you’ve gotta learn how this works; Job Corps
It’s hardball with an oddball, when the shots you throw through do car door like it’s cardboard
I feel like I’m at your mom’s door with a convoy
Full of armed boys from Darfur
My heart core colder than the shoulders
On a US soldier on ‘Nam shores
But you can sense it, n***a
The tension thicker than German guard dogs
My beloved Iron Shiek say ‘Allahu Akbar’
It used to be, chopper to street
Two Tupacs for the fleet, oh, I’m humbled
You know I’ve learned the science of rockets
As my thought process at meek
You’re a hobby at peak, I’m like the league doctor’s doctrine
You’re adopted, incompetent, weak
I’m about to pull every compliment out of confident weak
I can see you, boppin’ the beat box on repeat
“Yo, this f** n***a Lux, n***a not in my league
He got to be seen.” Well, what you mean, n***a, optical reach?
I’m too much of an optimum leap
Ever since Hoffa, you think you can swap with elites
What you n***as got to compete, not to retreat
Get beat ’til you drop to your feet
When you in the opposite seat
They don’t know who they with, y’all didn’t think it exists
I think y’all thought maybe I was a myth that waited in the abyss and came up out of the mists
But I get to aimin’, and I don’t miss
I’m about to put it all in your Catcher’s Mitt
Dying in this ring is a sure thing, and you’re the d**h in it
Can you see the difference between metaphors and real raps? How a n***a with metaphors can really rap?!
Your slogan? That sh** a propped-up scheme
For the sk** you lack
Now I get it, why you did it; personal sh**, why you diggin’
But if you find any skeletons in my closet, n***a
Well, that should tell you how long it had bodies in it
They wanna know what happened
I said some captain turned Judge Mathis
Cut your pops off in the middle of drug traffic
You stole the role, heart cold, blood Aspen
With the pump plastic, in front Math just
Talking all crazy at events, some madness
‘Bout how you gon handle Lux tactics
Too much for your young actress
All that fake a** gun clappin’, “Landslide;” that’s for caskets
You know I k**, you can read, everything in my bio, has it
How y’all disrespect God? How did y’all disrespect God?
Ain’t it evil to live backwards?
Let me bring that back, ‘cause I need y’all to grasp it
Ain’t it evil to live backwards?
I’m just askin’, what you thought?
What, ‘cause you had more battles than me?
You dropped 30 in a couple of games?
n***a, I wasn’t even on the court, look
It ain’t about how many fights you had, it’s who you fought
This what champions look like
And we don’t look like, you look light
I’m floored by you boys’ battle verses
You Jim Lampley, Larry Merch; n***a, you just talk a good fight
I heard, they rathered Verb in a clash with words
I said word, they have some nerve, he don’t have the nerve
You see, deep in they hearts, the three from the Arc
Wouldn’t risk getting snapped with Larry Bird
Chill, young, this your lil man’s fight, you can’t cover that
Besides, Miles couldn’t even do a block with me
I’d be lying about another lap
The trouble back, I’ma get you right when the traffic thick
I let a Nuclear Reactor hit, lot of active lip while I was away
You n***as had all this tongue, and can’t rap a lick
Let X Factor trip, I won’t even drag the script
We’ll just lock that n***a in a room
And keep showing him the match with Clips
Terraneo, you don’t know who terrain you on
The conditions we done trained along
Traditions I was raised upon
This new sh** here for chumps
That’s why I’m up here just doin’ what I want
I used to battle on the roof, the loser had to jump
But you know, he got dreams of that Learjet
But he gon’ lean like Aaliyah jet
We could bet I brought somethin’ out a lil normal
Just in case n***as with you doubt I’d do you awful
Oh, but it’s gon’ cost you
You can tell Trick Trick the only address he’ll have left is the email, he put the house on you
But three things… You, X-Factor, Miles
Y’all better learn to like the gym, for you might could spend the rest of your battle career tryin’ to win a fight to live
Secondly, I would’ve thought Heartless
Would’ve made you care who you put your life against
First of all, only thing you gon ever have over me is your height
But then I’ll slash a hyphen in
When your hype begins, your night can end
I’ve been k**in’, since they paid in shillings
These dealings I got a license in
To say I see the sights of men, that’s like pretendin’ the dicks of the dyke was thick in the slit when she piped a chick
There’s about 50cc’s of Vicodin in my writing pen
You’ll get scraped crazy, like a M80 before they light the stem
In fame vote, me in or not, I should be named dope
For the most and wrote the game quote
What you brought for me
A bunch of motherf**ing train jokes?
This sh** no laughing matter, when in the end
Our cake mixed, and you ain’t even half the batter
How you gon’ get the pitch? We don’t even have a batter
You’s a waste of my motherf**in’ time, n***a
And you’re cutting into your mother’s f**in’ time, n***a
[Round 3: Calicoe]
Murda Mook, Iron Soloman, Serius Jones, Loaded Lux, E Ness
Smack, that’s your start 5? These n***as really got me stressed
f** them! We vets; them n***as ain’t got sh**
Yeah, they sold a couple DVD’s, but we the reason you got rich
The same n***as that you’re claiming as your pioneers
Is the same n***as that showed up that was dyin’ here
What you would’ve did without that Landslide?
Easy before me, what you would’ve did without Ball Game?
How could you work without priorities?
K Shine zipped n***as up when he got it clear
DNA told Smack to get these old n***as the f** outta here
So I’m speaking the truth
So I’m saying something wrong today?
Yeah, y’all started this sh**, y’all the reasons
The labels think battle rappers can’t make songs today
But your man got the longest face
He like he want to try somethin’
The first n***a who says he got his back gon’ die frontin’
Any problems with my n***as, them 9’s dumpin’
All my n***as quick to suit up; they’re job huntin’
You show out, get show down, don’t lie, s**er
Die like Evel Knievel if he arrives stuntin’
Since when Lux was a threat in the game?
f** this battle, I’m here for the check and my name
They said the feds was on me
sh**, I thought it was some stretch and some cane
But nah, it was for some sh** that had nothing to do with me
But I told you, it’s a big difference between you and me
This ain’t the funeral, I’m just planning your eulogy
So when he wake up with his face on the news
It’s not for no animal cruelty
His mind flowin’, I’m stoppin’ traffic, I said
Two dome shots will put a road block in his head
And I ain’t even got to shoot at your man
I could put the loot on your man
I can retire, I found youngsters that’ll shoot for a grand
So if you don’t get your mind right, they push your brains left
I get them what Smack giving me, I got change left
Then I hit the club with only n***as that been with me
And blow the rest of it at Jersey girls at Sin City
There’s only one time I’ma ask for respect
And I’m blastin’ the TEC, and that’s word to the tat on my neck
That’s my mama by the way; if there’s drama in the way
I’ll lift that llama off my waist and start piranhaing his face
Yeah, you battled one n***a that come from the D
No disrespect, but at the time he wasn’t as hungry as me
That day, bar for bar, my bro Miles didn’t stand a chance
But I bet you, man-to-man, he’ll beat you hand-for-hand
Twiz can leave, we don’t even need this camera man
I’ll f** you up on stage, n***a, right now
Now the fans looking like, “Damn, Cal ain’t gotta rhyme.”
But I told you, when it’s real sh**, it ain’t gotta rhyme
Check his pockets, Smack, I bet to you he ain’t got a dime
Over my paper, he ain’t even get his chicken
Scratched for getting out of line
Chicken scratched, paper, out of line…
That’s Big T’s sh**, and he started it
But the line so smart, the sh** sound like some retarded sh**
Let him try me tonight, he gon’ get his sh** peeled back
Drag him across the stage, like Stevie J and Lil Scrap
After a n***a battle me, I made him feel wack
‘Cause there’s a difference between metaphors and real rap
[Round 3: Loaded Lux]
Let’s get to choppin’ this fable
You’re a fake new 2Pac and we’re fatal
But you’re a gay who’s really a softy
Starbucks coffees, moccasins, bagels
I begged you, come get your thing popped at your cable
Man sh**, but since we couldn’t get your pops at the table
If you’re able, please tell him that hand that rules the world
That’s the one that’s finna rock your cradle, n***a
If you notice, I mentioned Verb in the other round
I’m guessing now, subconsciously, possibly, you probably
‘Cause he favored this problem I had to step around
You remember that Holla beef, where he checked a child?
I’m betting Cal and Hitman are stickmen
And you wear the wedding gown
All I’m saying is y’all married, yo, the scenario
Same def and style, but why are your expressions foul?
I get this feeling like, you feeling like
What I said was down… low, like “Yo, like, that was wild.”
But that’s funny, ‘cause I’m a little skeptical
Had my peoples investigate you, pal
Instagram for you Calicoe fans that have yet to browse
July 17th, 8:40 PM, you posted up
Aw, n***a, you know what’s up, we kept the file
You’ve got some explaining to do
Can we address the crowd? Exhibit A
So that’s how Detroit gangstas do? Skinny dipping gone wild?
Well, we ain’t judging though, you ain’t on trial
My beloved T-Rex says
“Grown man bars is somethin’ you got to deal with.”
So all of that collaborated, fabricated
It ain’t gon’ equal up to this real sh**
Check it out, I want y’all to picture this
As I paint the slide, tombstone grain inscribed
Here lies my beloved, grave this wide
I mean, I had that much love for you
I know that ‘cause you got that much hate for I
Don’t want you to hang your eye
Not for a second, lil n***a, catch it, brace your vibe
Be froze, for d**h is cold. I wanna search your soul
And hold onto whatever holes exposing the pain you hide
Bring me mine, n***a, now I don’t wanna break this bond
I just wanna break the cycle, thank your moms I’d like to
For the nights she didn’t write you
She stayed in line, so your days could shine
I might do one better, with a letter to tell her
How I appreciate in kind, how strong a queen she is
And any man would be lucky for her to be made his bride
You see, I take in mind your situation
And though I never met your father
I see a lot of his ways in your stride
I mean, you got that “talk it like I walk it” kind of attitude
And you know it’s real good he gave you pride
Every son should be proud of his father
And I look at my little one, and I want the same for mine
That’s why when I look up at you, I see what it can go through when a father don’t take the time
You know what I think is f**ed up? I think it’s real f**ed up when those people gave him all that time
You wanna know what’s even more f**ed up?
It’s for all them years that he got away from you
Has only been a way for you
To be more together with him in a cage in five
That’s why I’m angry, guy, ‘cause he didn’t take the steps
Now you chase his rep, but them running shoes ain’t your size
They say: “Don’t whine over spilled milk.”
But what a man supposed to do when his baby’s cryin’?
Oh, he say sh** like, “You know, it costs to be the boss.”
What, he too good for a paying job?
What was wrong with being a cable guy? A real estate agent?
Why was that n***a to cool to go to flight school
And learn how to fly planes through the friendly skies?
But nah, he told you he had to do what he had to do
To put food on y’all plate to dine
You mean you tell me all that slangin’ and bangin’
Was to give y’all greater lives? When God gave him drive?
And that Big Meech backup singing-a** n***a
Left your mom out here alone for the latest ride?
That don’t plague your mind?
Them mistakes ain’t guides? And you wonder why them Shotgun Suge shells still ache your spine?
Look what Ray Ray got Little Jimmy out here in New York doing
Tell your OG, Bobby Johnson
He tried to steal the wrong radio this time, n***a
Hey, if you see South Central, when you see this again
That’s gonna be one of your favorite lines
Somethin’ to think about next time you on stage waving signs
Tryin’ to be like the only daddy you got
And I understand you wanna keep his name alive
But youngin, I’m tryin’ to save you from your demise
You said it yourself, “My pops was a real n***a.”
Youngin, that ain’t no lie; he was in the business that the system perpetuates on the side
To keep us in the condition where we ain’t made to survive
But you think he a god? Well, let me ask you this
Would you k** the world to save yourself, n***a?
Yeah, I ain’t think that was wise
Somethin’ to think about the next time y’all thuggin’, drinkin’ and druggin’, hard liquor, y’all full of k**ers, remember
I tried to give him the large picture
Your pops wasn’t no gangster, he was just another lost n***a
You think it’s gangster
To let a mother love that dope more than her daughter?
Shoot a father from his son
Then turn around and put that boy on the corner?
Or leave your son out here alone to fend for himself
Knowing he need order?
Is your money being long worth your lifespan being shorter?
Huh? But I’m just tryin’ to give you the large picture
Your pops wasn’t no gangster, he was just another lost n***a
Gangsta’s brothers like Marcus Garvey
Who when he performed lectures
Raised consciousness up from doing wrong
To putting us in uniforms, making us soldiers in God’s army
All them Garveyites, Nat Turner
When the man had us on the back burner
Facts further steady he lead one of the greatest revolutions of freedom slaves you ever heard of
But then he got murdered
You know what? Harriet Tubman was more of a man than your father would ever be, n***a
I mean, your daddy, that father title get deployed
You know, a wise man told me that a wise man understands
In this life you gon’ either build or destroy
And since it takes a father to raise a man-child
Well, it’s no wonder you talk all that young sh**, you a lil boy
That don’t get the large picture
Your pops wasn’t no gangster, he was just another lost n***a
Look at me, King! Look at me! He was so lost… you lost, n***a
Look how they got you, Fox 2, CNN
You’re supposed to be one of the leading faces in battle rap
Look how you represent
They told me, I said stop lying, y’all hype him
You in the crib with pissed alligators and sh**
Not to mention everybody else
But you damn near got yourself indited
Then you showed the chickens
I thought about you and your man in that picture
“These Detroit n***as still cockfighting.”
[UNHEARD 2ND VERSE: Loaded Lux]
Cal, you say I didn’t put you on
That was Miles and the n***a Norbes
I say how did he get it wrong? Wow, y’all been misinformed
You gotta explain then
Who put together that weigh in that you was on
You see I was in New York but got it done in Detroit. When Miles couldn’t orchestrate it, Moe Dirty would get the calls
Real raps, lets kick it off. You gon’ tell it then tell it all
Instead of yelling: all I did was put my logo, my brand on every clip that went forth. Well, hello n***a, switchboard
Then God said “let there be light”
So I ain’t gotta guess that you bright
But I’ll put pieces of you everywhere
n***a, if its gon’ help you collect your life
Now correct me if I ain’t right, but don’t the press get a price for every time they verb with the hype?
Don’t HBO 247 pay Floyd every time he dress up to fight?
When “grant?’ was on the hill, wasn’t he collecting from sprite
But soon as n***as start thinking they Jordan
And jump, man, you put ’em in front of Nike
I get back to checking you n***as mic’s
See I fought to get that D verse Chicago battle going
Miles know it
But n***as in your own city didn’t wanna have him hold it
I threw alley oops to the “No Fly Zone”
Well you’re the last one I’m throwing
If I give you n***as shots then what’s a Calico if it ain’t loaded?
You see, before the URL, me and the good folks over at Lionz Den we took battle rap, revamped and new breeded this department. You know, I even had a couple legends come meet us off their starships
I showed how bad Goodz was, I let K shine
ICE would freeze a n***a before the sparks went
Remember where you seen it first
Arsonal and Clips both cleaning out their cartridge
Gave Rich Dollaz a lean target
Goddamnit, we got Big T started
Word, if it wasn’t for us, shieet
n***a Verb would still be in the flea market
But you, you, you’re my greatest creation
You would think we were two nation when it was war declared
But you can’t send boys who crawling scared
To men who walk through dares
It’s an insult to compare, Detroit, we can’t even call this fair
I just came to show him, that I planted this here notion
Way before you were long or where
Oh, you be in Chicago? Well, that’s funny. Cause I came to break down this Hightower that thinks he’s tall as the Sears
Now peep, we call it dressing rappers
You know, you like letting them endorse your gear
Give ‘em shorts to wear, you know, start ‘em being active
Get somebody from a whole other region
Different city, younger demographic
This helps with the different markets you’re trying to tap in
Let them get about ten taped battles
I’m guess-timating about seven million views
Whooo, I’m not accurate, but that’s traffic
Goddamnit, that’s cla**ic, cause see what happens is you help a man to build an empire, then you attack it
Let me ask this, you read the Bible, Mr. Hightower?
I mean Calicoe, uuh, perhaps you don’t
The reason I’m asking for, you see, in the book of Exodus, chapter two, verse ten…I can’t quote the pa**age though
There’s a part in there where God’s speaking to Moses regarding Pharaoh soul
He says to Moses—about Pharaoh—”I purposefully hardened his heart just so my wrath could show the signs of my work
So that afterwards you would know, I am Hov”
So tell your daddy, n***a, if I got to start getting rid of first borns, well, you gon’ let my people go
You see this plan I’ve spawned and spearheaded
With a friend of mine since I retired, it was all a dare
A lot of y’all would ask
“How did Calicoe get Lux with so many losses near?” But I have purposefully pushed this pawn across the board this year
You see, it didn’t matter if his victories
Were HD or Walkman clear
People are biased, I’m not gon’ say they all were fair. But the fact they talked about him in gambling spot and barber chairs
I know n***as saw you there
This is why a mind like mines has long been feared
This is compensation for helping jump starting your career
This is payback for every match of yours that aired
You can’t see how in this one night, I got in front of every camera that you’ve ever been on, for years
So that would mean for you, all ends here
It’s like the farmer told the potato
I’ma plant you now, dig you later
You see, we break them then deflate them
With this battle sh** it’s battleships
Sometimes you gotta blow them up to sink ’em
It took patience, I was staking, scouting, casing
The door racing between the couch potato, window when the house was vacant
And its pretty clear to me now. I mean, look how many people I brought to crowd your space with
I could have caught you out, one night, with the wife
When you had reservations and left y’all both late, brings a new meaning to “outdated”
Speaking of your girl, I remember the Summer Madness before
When you and Math was at war, I wanted to ask her before
You brought her out from the back of your boys
You showed her to the crowd, we was like ‘Wow!’, you know, clap and applause. Cute in the face, a** was galore
I must say she’s attractive for sure
That boy Calicoe got good taste
Baby girl, we wanna know what happened to yours
They told you to chill Cal, now you in here with a real bow
Uphill battle with a hundred pound wheel barrow
Kneel, how? sh** turn to pressure like a steel valve
This ain’t even beef, you ain’t real, Cal
See them people from PETA put this young boy in a cold storm
With no clothes on, that’s why n***as got told on
I think he tried to hold on and was like “hold on”
What’s gonna happen if keeping it real goes wrong?
Not k**a-ma-gilla-go-rilla Cal always down for the riot
But now Big T come in the house gotta tell him “Quiet”
FB eyeing till they build stacks
That’s when they come and get ya, disfigure your member
Then give you your grill back
Like, we just wanna see where your sk**s at
We understand your tongue is your weapon
But you supposed to conceal that
You know once you give them control
It’s hard to get that will back
Money moves used to light your fuse, they k**ed that
Tell Ice Cube we done found his chill pack
Let’s reveal facts
They put an offer on the table, you push the deal back
I need to speak to my lawyer or point me to my cell
Anything else then he’ll rat
You took 48 hours and made the 48 seconds flat
If you a Calicoe fan, you supposed to feel wack
Now, we already know the answer but we gon’ still ask
When they had you in that room
Did you give them metaphors or real raps?
