1
Motherfuckers
2
Say that I'm foolish
3
I only talk about jewels
4
(Bling bling)
5
Do you fools
6
Listen to music or
7
Do you just skim
8
Through it?
9
See I'm influenced
10
By the ghetto you ruined
11
That same dude
12
You gave nothin'
13
I made somethin' doin'
14
What I do through
15
And through and
16
I give you the news
17
With a twist
18
It's just his
19
Ghetto point-of-view
20
The renegade
21
You been afraid
22
I penetrate pop culture
23
Bring 'em a lot closer
24
To the block where they
25
Pop toasters
26
And they live
27
With they moms
28
Got dropped roasters
29
From botched robberies
30
Niggaz crotched over
31
Mommy's knocked up
32
Cause she wasn't
33
Watched over
34
Knocked down
35
By some clown
36
When child support knocked
37
No he's not around
38
Now how that
39
Sound to ya?
40
Jot it down
41
I bring it
42
Through the ghetto
43
Without ridin' 'round
44
Hidin' down duckin' strays
45
From frustrated youths
46
Stuck in they ways
47
Just read a magazine
48
That fucked up my day
49
How you rate music
50
That thugs with
51
Nothin' relate to it?
52
I help them see they way
53
Through it, not you
54
Can't step in my pants
55
Can't walk in my shoes
56
Bet everything you worth
57
You lose your tie
58
And your shirt
59
Since I'm in a position
60
To talk to these kids
61
And they listen
62
I ain't no politician
63
But I'll kick it
64
With 'em a minute
65
Cause see they
66
Call me a menace
67
And if the shoe fits
68
I'll wear it
69
But if it don't
70
Then you'll will
71
Swallow the truth
72
Grin and bear it
73
Now who's these
74
King of these rude
75
Ludicrous lucrative lyrics
76
Who could inherit the title
77
Put the youth in hysterics
78
Usin' his music to steer it
79
Sharin' his views
80
And his merits
81
But there's
82
A huge interference
83
They're sayin'
84
You shouldn't hear it
85
Maybe it's hatred I spew
86
Maybe it's food
87
For the spirit
88
Maybe it's beautiful music
89
I made for you
90
To just cherish
91
But I'm debated disputed hated
92
And viewed in America
93
As a motherfuckin' drug addict
94
Like you didn't experiment?
95
Now now, that's when
96
You start to stare at
97
Who's in the mirror
98
And see yourself
99
As a kid again
100
And you get embarrassed
101
And I got nothin' to do
102
But make you look
103
Stupid as parents
104
You fuckin' do-gooders
105
Too bad you couldn't
106
Do good at marriage
107
(Ha ha)
108
And do you
109
Have any clue
110
What I had to do
111
To get here?
112
I don't think you do
113
So stay tuned and
114
Keep your ears
115
Glued to the stereo
116
Cause here we go
117
He's
118
(Jigga joint Jigga-chk-Jigga)
119
And I'm the sinister
120
Mr. Kiss-My-Ass
121
It's just the
122
[Chorus]
123
Renegade
124
Never been afraid
125
To say
126
What's on my mind
127
At any given time of day
128
Cause I'm a renegade
129
Never been afraid
130
To talk about anything
131
(Anything)
132
Anything
133
(Anything)
134
Renegade
135
Never been afraid
136
To say
137
What's on my mind
138
At any given time of day
139
Cause I'm a (Renegade)
140
Never been afraid
141
To holler about anything
142
(Anything?)
143
Anything
144
(Anything)
145
I had to hustle
146
My back to the wall
147
Ashy knuckles
148
Pockets filled with
149
A lot of lint, not a cent
150
Gotta vent
151
Lot of innocent of lives
152
Lost on the project bench
153
Whatchu hollerin'?
154
Gotta pay rent
155
Bring dollars in
156
By the bodega
157
Iron under my coat
158
Feelin' braver
159
Doo-rag
160
Wrappin' my waves up
161
Pockets full of hope
162
Do not step to me
163
I'm awkward
164
I box leftier often
165
My pops left me an orphan
166
My momma wasn't home
167
Could not stress to me
168
I wasn't grown
169
'Specially on nights
170
I brought somethin' home
171
To quiet the
172
Stomach rumblings
173
My demeanor
174
Thirty years my senior
175
My childhood
176
Didn't mean much
177
Only raisin' green up
178
Raisin' my fingers to critics
179
Raisin' my head to the sky
180
Big I did it
181
Multi before I die (nigga)
182
No lie, just know
183
I chose my own fate
184
I drove by the
185
Fork in the road
186
And went straight
187
See I'm a poet to some
188
A regular
189
Modern day Shakespeare
190
Jesus Christ the
191
King of these
192
Latter Day Saints here
193
To shatter the picture
194
In which of that
195
As they paint me
196
As a monger of hate and
197
Satan a scatter-brained atheist
198
But that ain't the case
199
See it's a matter of taste
200
We as a people decide
201
If Shady's as bad
202
As they say he is
203
Or is he the latter
204
A gateway to escape?
205
Media scapegoat
206
Who they can
207
Be mad at today
208
See it's easy as cake
209
Simple as whistlin' Dixie
210
While I'm wavin' the pistol
211
At sixty Christians against me
212
Go to war with the Mormons
213
Take a bath with the Catholics
214
In holy water
215
No wonder they try
216
To hold me under longer
217
I'm a motherfuckin' spiteful
218
Delightful eyeful
219
The new Ice Cube
220
Motherfuckers hate to like you
221
What did I do?
222
(Huh?)
223
I'm just a kid
224
From the gutter
225
Makin' this butter
226
Off these bloodsuckers
227
Cause I'm a muh'fuckin'
228
[Chorus: x2]
