Verse 1: Pardon me / But It’s been a long day
I’d like all of ya’ll / But I can only take Tre
‘Cause when it comes to wordplay / your Man’s legit
You must admit
I am the Sugar Honey Iced Tea / Ain’t too many like me
I’m a sure thing / You other rappers are might be’s
So we don’t see eye to eye / And?
I’ll take a muscle bound man / Put his face in the sand
Na / I ain’t write it
That’s just pretty much / how I’d describe it
...Yeah / I’m Shonuff the Shogun
You a hype / You just show up to show one
You was feeling brave / with your guage in the air but,
My crew knocks back / Shave and a haircut
It’s no secret ‘round here / I inspire trends
This is my epilogue / cue the violins
Chorus: Ya'll better think twice / don't roll the dice
'Cause when I'm on the mic / I am just so nice
Everybody can feel my bars / they should be in braille
I know you’re reaching for the stars / but all you spit is stale
I used to be like / man, pac tell ‘em how you really feel
But you don’t get that nowadays / ‘cause these rappers ain’t really real
To most of these rappers / I gotta chuck the deuces
They be spittin’ nursery rhymes / 1,000 mother gooses
A bunch of Dr. Suess’ / see spot run
I sell weight / I got guns
We used to do the humpty dance / now he just taking great falls
I call my girl China / cause man she got some great walls
They didn’t relate ya’ll / But you’ll still ‘Like’
It’s on / I know you always fall for my type
Ya’ll need to roll with me / Look at how I’m doing ‘em
Miracole / E Pluribus Unum
Semper Fi / Even when the tempers fly
I’ma make like a cart / and keep it pushing type of guy
