Def Jam Diss

[Intro]

Woah

Uh, uh, uh

You're now listening to "The Growth

Woah

Uh, uh, uh

([?])

Uh, uh, uh

You're now listening to "The Growth

Oh

[Verse]

"Pump It Up" came out, was a hit all over the country

And so I figured all over they'd want me, yeah

The buzz was there, and the feelin' was timely

And Kev said that he would put the whole building behind me, yeah

The whole office daps me freely

And Mr. Cohen always seems so happy to see me

I'm treated like a new man, I musta got a facelift

This is what I dreamed of; welcome to the matrix

BET rated me "Next" we coming up Jersey

Air time, MTV Buzzworthy

If that ain't make things final

The song played all throughout the World Series and the NBA Finals

Wrap up ya album Joey; it's goin' out now

Only problem is, my voice is goin' out now

Doc said I need a surgery to fix it

And if something goes wrong it could be permanently TWIST-TED!

Now thats something I can't afford

So steroid shots in my ass just so I could record

The more I talk, its ruining my cords, and on top of it all

Now Def Jam wants ya boy on tour

"This is important; you can't back out

It's good exposure, and 112's coming back out"

I'm on their second single, and they're on mine

I'm 'bout to shine June 10th yup it's time BUT WAIT!

Something must be wrong with the SoundScan

That's when it all started to go down, man

Am I wrong, or what here?

2 Fast Soundtrack did great, and my song was on there

And things the way it seems

The Wow Vol. 7 commercial

Pumping It Up with my face on screen

Had to change my second single 'cause there's two 112's/Joe Budden's

But theirs turned into 112/Luda

Lil Jon called me for the "Get Low" Remix

But Lyor was goin' through some TVT shit (Get low)

Then they went and kept Joe off of the "Roc The Mic" tour

Somebody probably thought Joey would rock the mic more

Left the country, did a single with J-Lo

But with my luck, I knew Columbia would say, "No"

Radio hates "Fire," nah, they won't try it

But they love that Rah Digga song that sounds just like it

Wanna keep me under, dawg, I'm the underdog

And they don't want y'all to see up under the fog, so y'all

Tell every man in the hood

Gold album one single, I'd say I'm doin' hella damn good

Listen here, Def Jam, are you deaf, man?

Politics aside, please don't interject, fam (No)

Listen to my shit now; listen to the rest damn

I'm Taye Diggs, The Best Man, that's without a "Yes Man"

Three hundred thou' budget, I object, fam

Did that the last time, and I still repped damn

M.H. - thank you; Pharrell - thank you

Jim Jones - thank you; Lil Mo' - thank you

Sad part now is when I walk by

And I see Mr. Cohen he can't even say "Hi"

But I'm a new man, I feel like I got a facelift

This is what I dreamed of time to tackle the matrix
