[Freddie Foxxx a.k.a. Bumpy Knuckles] Do y'all know what time it is when everybody game is everybody else's hustle and everybody's shame is somebody else's blame, whatever I became I did it with hot rhymes and a lung full of flame I never reframe, from loadin up and takin aim Like chicks flows are different, I never cum/come the same My mic will be the dame, written or off the brain I show up with my chest pumpin hard like Notre Dame I lose then I regain, hustle is in the vein I'm drinkin protein shakes to muscle up the brain In the black Chevy Suburban sippin champagne with champagne, dick out doin the damn thang We movin in the fast lane, with them black thangs On the way to the Bronx, to do the ski-mask thang I don't know what's so funny cause I ain't laughing The part is for a dead body, guess who's casting
[Chorus]
