I really don't know how long I've been doing this shit
I guess 2010's the first year you gave a shit
I was the underdog so please excuse me a bit
I need some space some please someone make me some room in this bitch
'Cause I'm in Beast mode, beast mode
Give me those beats I eat those
All day I don't sleep no
I don't even know what I got sheets for
Them pillow cases and bed frames oh nah take that, don't need those
So high I don't get high, don't even know what I got weed for
People I'm in beast mode, why'd you think I got these teeth for
Why do I rep that east side and why do they all call me B.O
But see I new this be-fo
Anybody fed my ego
Back in the hood at east shows
So we take hood wherever we go
Please know, I am as loyal as loyalty is when it's gave
Dedicated, determined, dependable
Yes I committed myself to the game
Don't be letting them tell you them lies
We make the industry real when it's fake
So stay meditating so your head is facing into the direction you aim bitch!
Okay then, know what my name is
Excuse my language but I'm fed up with the same shit
They say they love me but it's really cause I'm famous see
My momma told me this back when I was nameless
So fuck y'all, I'm shameless, I'm a beast unleashed I'm raging
I'm living inside of this Matrix, this video game I'm playing
I ride around and they praise me
I crack a smile and they waving
I guess you could call me David Ruffin I'm circled in the Temptations
Or maybe I'm angry, maybe I just need a little more patience
Or maybe I'm crazy, maybe I just get a little to anxious
Some-times-I-rhyme-like-I'm-inside-Einsteins-mind
Look at the time fly by, plenty of times I've died
Lookin' at these jive guys claiming they lost there mind
She ain't really seen shit nigga til you had the whole World flipped upside down
Right side up from the DEC so the Eastside's up
Fired up so you know when I get to the booth I go ham
'Cause I gotta do what I can
So I'm like kodoish, kodoish, kodoish, adonai tsebayoth I chant
I'm kinda like a blur with these words, yes I'm a wizard with these verbs
Running at a hundred kilometers
Pretty soon I'ma leave Earth
Earthlings, or whatever Human beings, I'm a beast
Your a feast, curly fries, onion rings
This is not a fucking game
Ain't no referee's involved
This is military combat soldiers standing guard round my yard
Entourage, ham squad to be exact, smoking ham, smacking back
Take your girl have her back, we don't want her round my team
She's a slut and she's a freak, but you don't know cause she's discreet
I swear I see everything that's a bit, man I'm fed up to my neck with the stress
I could use a wish Hayley where you at
I guess the only exception to these girls is that I rap
But I only attack
'Cause I'm in beast mode, just beast mode
Everybody know I'm a muthafucking monster, monster
Energy Drink shoulda been my sponsor
But sometimes I wonder, what is this race I run for
I don't give a fuck about numbers so I find it ironic
These niggas get mad at me, talking all sideways with they eyes glazed
They mad cause I'm straight
What the mind see's the eyes say
And they say that I went pop and the streets say
I ain't hip hop but if this not let the shit stop
