Verse 1 - E Luv
I told VoiceCrack to make some shi- that sound like N'Sync
And this the beat he brought back to me
He was like, fu-- that, you payin' me to come up with our own style (DJ VoiceCrack)
I started noddin' my head - I was like, man this shi- wild
How the fu-- I'm gon' come soundin' like somebody else's shi-
I grew up off of niggaz like Ren, Cube, Dre, Yella - they some vets
Steal they style, them fools would destroy me lyrically - probably hurt my feelings
Then, I'd be responsible for the next dead rapper in the street

Got too much respect for those that came before me to do something like that
Fact is if I got my own jack, how the fu-- can I come wack?
As long as my boyz think my shi-'s tight, I'm doin' somethin' right
If I pick up some fans along the way, they can bang this shi- all the time
That be the end result, how I do it - pump the bass/raise the treble
Highs be clear/lows be rumblin', lyrics to the beat be felt
But regardless, I gotta be me - that's all I can be
That be about the only way I can be all I can be

Chicago House turned me on to all this music shi-
Then 4th grade orchestra showed me the possibilities are endless
Rap music went and fu--ed my whole world up
Gain some knowledge of self and now I'm like motherfu--a whut?!
I be bangin' everything from Lunascape to the Dixie Chicks
Everything from Tool to Lucia Mendez - I luv all that shi-
I can try to be like something I'm not but to put it mild
My shi- would sit on a shelf and I'd be labeled a wack as- audiophile

Verse 3 - E Luv
BG Niggaz roll with one pants leg cuffed - don't give a fu--
Name our cars and shi-, we on some different type stuff
Wake up in the morning lookin' harsh type shi-
Our music be but an extension of all our life experiences
When I'm talkin' about religion or politics - I'm dead fu--in' serious
Critics choose only to complain about how I killed off hundreds on my albums
Yeah I'll admit, a couple of them motherfu--az were an accident
But the other 346 really deserved it

Then they wanna complain about how I did the shi-
Sayin' you from the suburbs, wait a minute, how can you be - you ain't no killer
Terminator killed all them cops - didn't say shi- to schwarzenegger

This is why I'm heartless - they always gotta go and start shi-
Niggaz always fu--in' up my high..
Fu-- drugs, nigga I'm tryin' to be high off life

Haters wanna bring me down to they level of suicide
Yet they still manage to bump my shi- in they ride
And live to tell about it - yeah they luv to talk about it
Some talk shi- before they even heard my music
Listen to the fu--in' hit - take it for what it is
This be my style, my lyrics, my opinion, my take on the rap biz
I could change up my style because I got everybody's feelings hurt
But I'ma tell you right now, man, that shi- ain't work
