about

I'm not playing with y'all anymore!

lyrics

Verse 1
Pardon the Interruption like I was Michael Wilbon
Your rap career was dead on arrival like it was stillborn
I'm powered by the most high, so of course I'm still going
I tapped into the Matrix for a beat to kill on
I put on for all the nonbelievers
Who doubt the will of The Father but follow unachievers
How do the blind lead the blind when no one can see
I'm out of line out of mind where no one can be
Kapeesh,
I'm in a league of my own
But even Tom Hanks couldn't lead in my zone
The manager, is a demon slapping damager
Pistol whipping obstacles, protect you like a Bannister
That means he holds you up and he keeps you in
His son walked on water, you either sink or swim
You see we are not him, we solely act on whims
But when it's game time, you know that I Will win!

Hook
I'm tired of talking
If you ain't with me get to walking
Paid my dues and played it cool
Now who's a fool
And I ain't playing with you

I'm tired of talking
If you ain't with me get to walking
Paid my dues and played it cool
Now who's a fool
And I ain't playing with you

Verse 2
Now it's round 2 and I ain't showing mercy
I ran past competitors like Jackie Joyner-Kersee
Y'all artificial like the chocolate made by Hershey
But I'm from the mud, call me kale cuz I am earthy
I can wield Mjolnir, which means I'm worthy
Talk is cheap and y'all keep yapping, you're Hella wordy
You're thoughtless you should talk less
I doubt less cuz I'm about this and I'm dauntless
Yes!
I'm confident cuz I have competence
I operate using my common sense
And righteous consciousness
God is the lead while I'm an operative
My mission is to breach and reach the uncooperative
To challenge me will take more than your audacity
You need a dash courage and a quart of fierce voracity
But that's considering you even have capacity
I don't cap, but you lack true opacity

Hook
I'm tired of talking
If you ain't with me get to walking
Paid my dues and played it cool
Now who's a fool
And I ain't playing with you

I'm tired of talking
If you ain't with me get to walking
Paid my dues and played it cool
Now who's a fool
And I ain't playing with you
