How to Pronounce
  • Look, I was gonna go easy on you
    Not to hurt your feelings
    But I'm only going to get this one chance
    Something's wrong, I can feel it
    (Six minutes)
    Just a feeling I've got
    Like something's about to happen
    But I don't know what
    If that means what I think it means
    We're in trouble, big trouble
    And if he is as bananas as you say
    I'm not taking any chances
    You are just what the doc ordered
    I'm beginnin' to feel like a Rap God, Rap God
    All my people from the front to the back nod, back nod
    Now, who thinks their arms are long enough
    To slap box, slap box?
    They said I rap like a robot, so call me Rap-bot
    But for me to rap like a computer
    It must be in my genes
    I got a laptop in my back pocket
    My pen'll go off when I half-cock it
    Got a fat knot from that rap profit
    Made a livin' and a killin' off it
    Ever since Bill Clinton was still in office
    With Monica Lewinsky feelin' on his nutsack
    I'm an MC still as honest
    But as rude and as indecent as all hell
    Syllables, skill-a-holic (Kill 'em all with)
    This flippity dippity-hippity hip-hop
    You don't really wanna get into a pissin' match
    With this rappity brat, packin' a MAC
    In the back of the Ac'
    Backpack rap crap, yap-yap, yackety-yack
    And at the exact same time
    I attempt these lyrical acrobat stunts
    While I'm practicin' that
    I'll still be able to break a motherfuckin' table
    Over the back of a couple of faggots and crack it in half
    Only realized it was ironic
    I was signed to Aftermath after the fact
    How could I not blow?
    All I do is drop F-bombs
    Feel my wrath of attack
    Rappers are havin' a rough time period
    Here's a maxi pad
    It's actually disastrously bad for the wack
    While I'm masterfully constructing this masterpiece as
    'Cause I'm beginnin' to feel like a Rap God, Rap God
    All my people from the front to the back nod, back nod
    Now, who thinks their arms are long enough to slap box, slap box?
    Let me show you maintainin' this shit ain't that hard, that hard
    Everybody wants the key and the secret
    To rap immortality like Ι have got
    Well, to be truthful the blueprint's
    Simply rage and youthful exuberance
    Everybody loves to root for a nuisance
    Hit the Earth like an asteroid
    Did nothing but shoot for the Moon since (Pew!)
    MCs get taken to school with this music
    'Cause I use it as a vehicle to "bus the rhyme"
    Now I lead a new school full of students
    Me? I'm a product of Rakim
    Lakim Shabazz, 2Pac, N.W.A, Cube, hey Doc, Ren
    Yella, Eazy, thank you, they got Slim
    Inspired enough to one day grow up
    Blow up and be in a position
    To meet Run–D.M.C., induct them
    Into the motherfuckin' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
    Even though I'll walk in the church
    And burst in a ball of flames
    Only Hall of Fame I'll be inducted in
    Is the alcohol of fame
    On the wall of shame
    You fags think it's all a game
    'Til I walk a flock of flames
    Off a plank and, tell me what in the fuck are you thinkin'?
    Little gay-lookin' boy
    So gay I can barely say it with a straight face
    Lookin' boy (Ha-ha!)
    You're witnessin' a massacre
    Like you're watching a church gathering take place, lookin' boy
    "Oy vey, that boy's gay!"—that's all they say, lookin' boy
    You get a thumbs up, pat on the back
    And a "way to go" from your label every day, lookin' boy
    Hey, lookin' boy! What you say, lookin' boy?
    I get a "hell yeah" from Dre, lookin' boy
    I'ma work for everything I have
    Never asked nobody for shit
    Get outta my face, lookin' boy!
    Basically, boy, you're never gonna be capable
    Of keepin' up with the same pace, lookin' boy, 'cause—
    I'm beginnin' to feel like a Rap God, Rap God
    All my people from the front to the back nod, back nod
    The way I'm racin' around the track
    Call me NASCAR, NASCAR
    Dale Earnhardt of the trailer park, the White Trash God
    Kneel before General Zod
    This planet's Krypton—no, Asgard, Asgard
    So you'll be Thor, I'll be Odin
    You rodent, I'm omnipotent
    Let off, then I'm reloadin'
    Immediately with these bombs, I'm totin'
    And I should not be woken
    I'm the walkin' dead, but I'm just a talkin' head
    A zombie floatin'
    But I got your mom deep-throatin'
    I'm out my Ramen Noodle
    We have nothin' in common, poodle
    I'm a Doberman, pinch yourself in the arm
    And pay homage, pupil
    It's me, my honesty's brutal
    But it's honestly futile if I don't
    Utilize what I do though
    For good at least once in a while
    So I wanna make sure somewhere in this
    Chicken scratch I scribble and doodle enough rhymes
    To maybe try to help get some people through tough times
    But I gotta keep a few punchlines
    Just in case, 'cause even you unsigned
    Rappers are hungry lookin' at me like it's lunchtime
    I know there was a time where once I
    Was king of the underground
    But I still rap like I'm on my Pharoah Monch grind
    So I crunch rhymes, but sometimes when you combine
    Appeal with the skin color of mine
    You get too big and here they come tryin'
    To censor you like that one line
    I said on "I'm Back" from The Mathers LP 1 when I
    Tried to say I'll take seven kids from Columbine
    Put 'em all in a line, add an AK-47, a revolver and a 9
    See if I get away with it now
    That I ain't as big as I was, but I'm
    Morphin' into an immortal, comin' through the portal
    You're stuck in a time warp from 2004 though
    And I don't know what the fuck that you rhyme for
    You're pointless as Rapunzel with fuckin' cornrows
    You write normal? Fuck being normal!
    And I just bought a new raygun from the future
    Just to come and shoot ya, like when Fabolous made Ray J mad
    'Cause Fab said he looked like a fag at Mayweather's pad
    Singin' to a man while he played piano
    Man, oh man, that was a 24-7 special on the cable channel
    So Ray J went straight to the radio station
    The very next day, "Hey Fab, I'ma kill you!"
    Lyrics comin' at you at supersonic speed (J.J. Fad)
    Uh, summa-lumma, dooma-lumma, you assumin' I'm a human
    What I gotta do to get it through to you I'm superhuman?
    Innovative and I'm made of rubber
    So that anything you say is ricochetin' off of me
    And it'll glue to you and
    I'm devastating, more than ever demonstrating
    How to give a motherfuckin' audience
    A feeling like it's levitating
    Never fading, and I know the haters are forever waiting
    For the day that they can say I fell off, they'll be celebrating
    'Cause I know the way to get 'em motivated
    I make elevating music, you make elevator music
    "Oh, he's too mainstream."
    Well, that's what they do when they get jealous
    They confuse it
    "It's not hip-hop, it's pop, "—'cause I found a hella way to fuse it
    With rock, shock rap with Doc
    Throw on "Lose Yourself" and make 'em lose it
    "I don't know how to make songs like that
    I don't know what words to use."
    Let me know when it occurs to you
    While I'm rippin' any one of these
    S that versus you
    It's curtains, I'm inadvertently hurtin' you
    How many verses I gotta murder to
    Prove that if you were half as nice
    Your songs you could sacrifice virgins too?
    Ugh, school flunky, pill junkie
    But look at the accolades these skills brung me
    Full of myself, but still hungry
    I bully myself 'cause I make me do
    What I put my mind to
    And I'm a million leagues above you
    Ill when I speak in tongues
    But it's still tongue-in-cheek fuck you
    I'm drunk, so, Satan, take the fucking wheel
    I'ma sleep in the front seat
    Bumpin' Heavy D and the Boyz
    Still "Chunky but Funky"
    But in my head there's something
    I can feel tugging and struggling
    Angels fight with devils
    And here's what they want from me
    They're askin' me to eliminate some of the women hate
    But if you take into consideration the bitter hatred
    I have, then you may be a little patient
    And more sympathetic to the situation
    And understand the discrimination
    But fuck it, life's handin' you lemons?
    Make lemonade then!
    But if I can't batter the women
    How the fuck am I supposed to bake them a cake then?
    Don't mistake him for Satan; it's a fatal mistake
    If you think I need to be overseas and take a vacation
    To trip a broad, and make her fall on her face and
    Don't be a retard — Be a king? Think not
    Why be a king when you can be a God?
