Lyrics

G.O.A.T.

[Intro]

And I’m willing to mow your grass (Yeah)

But I specialize in eating MCs (Ha-ha)

In the immortal words of LL Cool J

As he would say (I'm a GOAT)

And for those of y'all who don't know what a GOAT is

It means the Greatest Of All Time

And I consider myself one of those

So thank you very much, here it goes

[Verse 1]

This is the part I was worried about

Everyone thinks that my career is down

The tubes and I'm in some dusty garage inhalin' them carbon monoxide fumes

And everyone's tellin' me what I should do

And how I should come out and what to rap about

And I know that I got a lot up

In my medulla oblongata that I gotta get out

And I'm not sure how this is gonna come off

They're probably gonna think that I'm comin' off as cocky (Haha)

Like I just started givin' a fuck what you really think about me

See, the thing about me

Is you don't really know a thing about me

Everyone's makin' a stink about me

Like there's some kind of an aura of that of the king around me

Surround me with nothin' but gangsters

Killers and bangers and the most dangerous criminals

And I feel like I'm more comfortable around them

Than I do my own motherfuckin' neighbors

But see, my dream is to be remembered as one of the best when I leave

But why does it seem like I'm not even put up in the same category as other MCs?

So when Weezy says that he's better than JAY-Z

Please read that just subliminally

It means he thinks Jigga's the best

And that he's the only one up in that league, see

And it's easy just to consider me one of the greatest white rappers there is

Knowin' goddamn well that I'm one of the best motherfuckin' rappers who ever lived, period

[Chorus]

I'm a GOAT!

And I don't mean to gloat

But I know what I know and I know what you think

And these magazines'll never put it in ink

Because how would it look if they considered me as a GOAT?

And for those of y'all who don't know what a GOAT is

It means the Greatest Of All Time

And I consider myself one of those

So thank you very much, here it goes

[Verse 2]

Maybe they figure that I'm on my way out the game

So they gotta go try to find 'em a new Eminem or a new Shady

If they think it's gonna happen

Man, I thought I was crazy

Or maybe I could be takin' it wrong and they're tryna pay homage to me in a strange way

So let me pay homage to my fellow white competitors almost in the same way

See, you hardly ever do hear anyone even bringin' up Paul Wall's white

‘Cause lyrically he doesn't pose a threat to anyone, see, he's just aight

And Bubba Sparxxx, he just won't write because he's so caught up in that snow white

That Timbaland can't even get him in the studio, he's so gone off that coke, right?

And it's so sad, ‘cause he's dope, right? America's next great white hope, right?

So now they feel like they gotta come up with some corny-ass White Rapper Show, right?

And which I'm still havin' mixed feelings about

They said to be real, I'm just spillin' it out

There's somethin' about a white boy talkin' black

And runnin' around with a damn grill in his mouth

And I love when they say that Tiger Woods shit

"Isn't it ironic that the best rapper's white

And the best golfer's black?" and I'm the one who's gotta catch all the flack off of that

But these are the people who never had heard of an Eminem until 8 Mile had came out

But I had already hit middle America

Parents has all got to likin' me now

And suddenly, I wasn't such a bad guy

All of the hatred for me must've died

I thought I committed career suicide

So I had to turn back into the bad guy

So faggoty faggoty faggoty gays

Anatomy God made Raggedy Ann and Andy

Not Raggedy Andy and Andy and Andy

And Angelina Jolie is just another ho

And Brad is a sucka, because once I fuck her

She wants to go to Somalia to adopt another baby

You know what I say? — "No."

You better save some of them kids for Madonna

She needs all the publicity she can get

You wanted Shady, well you got it, man, I ain't apologizin' for shit

[Chorus]

I'm a GOAT! and I don't mean to gloat

But I know what I know and I know what you think

And these magazines'll never put it in ink

Because how would it look if they considered me as a GOAT?

And for those of y'all who don't know what a GOAT is

It means the Greatest Of All Time

And I consider myself one of those

So thank you very much, here it goes

[Outro]

Man, I'm takin' my ball

And goin' home, man, shit is too easy

Nobody even wants to pass me the ball 'cause (I'm a GOAT)

So don't worry, I'm out the motherfuckin' game

And y'all can sit and argue about who's the motherfuckin' best

But y'all know that (I'm a GOAT)

And like I said, I'm one of the motherfuckin' best

Before you get your panties in a motherfuckin' bunch (I'm a GOAT)

Before I go, I'd like to say fuck you very much

To everybody who wasn't there from the start

And thank you very much to everybody who was (I'm a GOAT)

And y'all ain't gotta say it, just think it

‘Cause I know that you know that I know

That you know that I know that (I'm a GOAT)

Haha, I'm out y'all, it's been real

Peace
