[Rip]   Yo, you fuckin' hate me, you fuckin' lock me in the basement   And you still want me to protect you - it doesn't make sense   Can-I-Bitch. I supported you like a weight bench   Without me you're defenseless you better face it   You ain't show me love when you was at your apex   Getting paychecks up at the radio with DMX and Flex   Catching wreck while Noreaga was catching his breath   I had to keep the situation in check   Look at the vericose veins in my neck, Jermaine is the best   The industry fucked you, I'm just paying 'em back   What's the matter with slayin' jackers? That's all I've been doin'   Besides talkin' shit I ain't done nothin' to 'em   They just mad 'cause when I see 'em I don't run up to 'em   Between me and you, yo you know I run right through 'em      [Bis]   Calm down      [Rip]   Who you telling to calm down nigga, I'm a ripper remember?   I told you not to do "Gone Til November."   But you wouldn't listen. I always had your best interests in mind   I wrote all your best lyrical lines   If it wasn't for me you'd be writin' pitiful lines   On stage if you was tired, I was spittin' sometimes   Nobody knew you bit off my rhymes   I would just be quiet, stand to the side and let that shit ride   But I'm getting tired of having to remind you Bis   If it wasn't for me nobody would've signed you Bis      [Bis]   What?! Man, why you trippin', you know it's a crazy business   You a lying ass bitch and you know it   Group Home was part my company, I co-owned it   If its one thing I learned in show biz   Stay focused and don't quit Rip   Why you talkin' 'bout old shit?      [Rip]   Germaine, you fuckin' water brain   Don't you understand, fuck the mainstream   You should just call out names   The industry's all about game   I shit on 'em all the same   And I leave spit stains on their brain   Like liquid chocolate spilling over their new white trainers   Insane is an understatement, I'm Satan   Canibus is amazing, I don't know what the fuck Germain is   I just know that both of y'all are trying my patience   I don't give a fuck about a beat, I've been rhyming for ages   Rippers are dangerous. All jackers are afraid of us   You wanna face me Bis? Kick a rhyme!      [Bis]   That's ridiculous      [Rip]   A'ight then, listen to mine   I jump in a costume impromptu just to rob you   Put the nozzle to your eye ball and tell you what not to do   Rip your tonsils out through your nostrils   Bury you next to shark fossils   Make it impossible to find you   Depths that Jacque Cousteau himself wouldn't dare to dive to   With goggles, oxygen bottles and Doppler effect modules   Lock you in a time capsule, smash the console   Shit on you in reverse and suck you in a brown hole   Suck the power out of your soul   You're nothing but a coward in the cold freezer with a hour to go   Watching my Casio stop watch, counting it slow   Like drug lords checking to see if it's talcum or coke   I can kill you by drowning the globe   Or I can just spit inside of a hole and put an ounce in your throat   In battles I'm a thousand to no. I silenced the Pope   Do you know how many rhymes I've economically grossed?   No? I thought so   Neither do I   Its a dick between your mother's thighs divided by pi   I'm the sickest linguistically, illicit lyrical misfit, in the business   And probably in existence. What's your consensus?   Study my own syntax statistics since '96   With CPA certified assistance   I made a decision that my standards are above precision   The only thing I can honestly say I love more than women   Are dope writtens. If it ain't dope then don't spit it   Don't be sensitive and get on the defensive   Just practice your penmanship   If you can't spit at high temperatures then just quit   Be careful of the tongue it tends to bend to the left   According to manufacture's specs you'll make a mess   And rupture the blood vessels in your neck fucking with Rip   Got millions of blueprints on zip disk   Stock versions of sick verses that come with conversion kits   With a course every Thursday that teaches you how to burst like Rip   You never experienced work like this, Bitch!   Welcome to the serpentine world where I spit   The world where I twist, the world that I rip, the world where I live      [Bis]   Okay Rip you made your point, I can't out-rap you   You said you was the illest, I would never doubt that too   A lot of these rappers is jealous that's why they attack you   They think you the best, that's why they wanna battle you   At the moment of truth I let you design the tattoos   You are the illest alive. That's a fact that you proved   Just a couple rappers don't want it to happen for you   Raggin' on you like battling is all you can do   You didn't sell enough units to be honest with you   Nobody knows the truth, you got talent out the gazoo   When niggas first heard you it was like "Man on the Moon"   You got dissed by a legend but you damaged him too   So what if the ladies think he's more handsome than you   What happens if the rumors about being a faggot are true?   Look what it's running into   I don't feel like having this discussion with you   I'm tired of fucking with you   Niggas in the game don't wanna do nothing with you   Bussin' with you. Going one on one with who?   They wanna get rid of you. Shit is too lyrical   Headhunters out to get you. That's why I had to protect you   I wouldn't disrespect you as another intellectual   Without you I'm unsuccessful   God bless you   What makes you think I left you or why I'd ever be tempted to?   Ever since my third album I've been mentioning you   I got your name on my arm, I'm representing you   You Rip the Jacker. I would never question you   I respect your opinion as a professional nigga   I just want you to listen to what I'm telling you   What happened between L and you, forget it   People know you won the battle, they will give you the credit   A lot of people don't want to admit it   But I consider it a real privilege   To bear witness to your lyrics and be involved in sharing the merits   I'm forever indebted   I just need you to chill for a second so I can send a positive message   Like Tupac before he left us   The author of the work ethic Genesis   Has inspired me to write the ExeBis scripts   As a constant reminder not to forget Bis   But I've reached a precipice   Remember Rip   You can't rhyme forever, there's always somebody with better shit   I keep you out the public eye for a reason   You're a commodity Rip. Ain't that how you wanna keep it?   I keep your whereabouts secret   I bring bitches to the crib every weekend so why is you beefin'?      [Rip]   Ayo, stop patronizing me   You despise me   All you wanna do is steal rhymes from me   You constantly keep me behind walls of concrete   Lock me in the basement like a fuckin zombie   If I was a priority   You'd acknowledge me   You ain't shit neither, you ain't got no college degree   You can't rhyme without me   Stop smiling at me   Give me the keys to the garage, I need to borrow the Jeep   Get the fuck out my face Bis!
