Enough Beef

[Intro: Royce Da 5'9"]

Yeah, Sway and Tech nigga

My name is 5'9"

Yeah I been in the game for a minute

Shout out to Gang Starr

What up Preem (back to basics)

[Chorus: Guru sample]

A lot of shit has happened since I started rapping

A lot of shit has happened since I started rapping

A lot of shit has happened since I started rapping

There's been enough beef and enough gat clapping

[Verse 1: Royce da 5'9]

Yeah, I done became a target

From the bottom became the hardest artist in the game

The first time they started to market my name, I started to change

Smart but hardly could think logically

The insane part of me laying aside of me says, "Pardon me"

So I part with the same side of me

I hang out with the same guys

Either they not noticing the game changing me or they ain't watchin' me

Bitches sayin, "Hi" to me, niggas who ain't hot as me

Picturing me slaying niggas getting plain tired of me

Looking down at him when he got the same drive as me

We the same niggas, aim just as high as me

Everything is the same with us

But the thing is that I came in here with a different anxiety

Hopefully the day I retire

Is approaching me looking back like, "Those were the days I was fly"

(But y'all gon' learn) from the mistakes to wait and

To be patient wrong turns did take up a lot of time

But I finally found my way around now I'm wiser

I thank God that I made it out alive

[Chorus: Guru sample]

A lot of shit has happened since I started rapping

A lot of shit has happened since I started rapping

A lot of shit has happened since I started rapping

There's been enough beef and enough gat clapping

[Verse 2: Common]

One man rises, another falls

To discover all is one and one is all

I come to call like Jericho with the trumpets, it's Wild in the 100s

Gramps in the choir humming, the Lord soon cometh

From blow some grow, many stay stunted

Torch with the shorties knowing I learnt from it

Keep the dumb shit from my circumference

I run with niggas that wanted it, done it, the hunted and blunted

L said it got to come from the stomach

To me the stomach is the voice of the Lord, the revolutionary people's choice the award

Seeing souls move forward

Goals move toward new homes and new floors

For us to rise to, in the attic taping up my Bible

Thinking how can I apply to survival

The un-American Idol seeing vital signs of the times

I put it in my rhymes, a lot of shit has happened

[Chorus: Guru sample]

A lot of shit has happened since I started rapping

A lot of shit has happened since I started rapping

A lot of shit has happened since I started rapping

There's been enough beef and enough gat clapping

[Verse 3: Chino XL]

Yo, welcome lambs to the slaughter

It's the most important moment in my life since the birth of my daughters

Regardless, all is well in the Universe

Premier track and Chino, who cannot spit a wack verse

My first CDs basically made me

Marky Mark with the whole Planet of the Apes chasing me

Was Here To Save You All, now rap ain't worth savin'

But I can't hit the pavement with gay shit like Craig David

Vocal arrangements even basic

I'm still the hottest nigga to spit inside of my cousin Tigga basement

I've no replacement for what's seeming like ages

I ain't no hypochondriac complaining I stay sick

Standing ovations for acapella shituations

I get better with age in everybody's observation

Starvation to brawl the Last Samurai

Take an eye for an eye 'til the world go blind

I'm bovine, Raging Bull, words are my weapons

Hope they not over your head like Kangols in '87

I move from Jers' to Cali, feeling the love

Move with moms to Miami, promised I would

Beef and drama I've been in, you wouldn't last through

What's funny motherfucker, I wanna laugh too

But now I'm ready to get rich, old dog, new tricks

So ill, I could dig to China with chopsticks

When I switch to the big leagues this year with no fear

'Cause who'd even believe that I'd be here

[Chorus: Guru sample]

A lot of shit has happened since I started rapping

A lot of shit has happened since I started rapping

A lot of shit has happened since I started rapping

There's been enough beef and enough gat clapping
