[Verse 1]

You've got no bidness in my business

What you don't know might hurt you, open you up like it was Christmas

Backstage is laced, boos most definitely

Poison's a fluid, move if the weaponry

I'm [?] the seventies, loud mouth loud

The man stands out, shoot off from the mouth

Straight from the lip, straight with the fist, straight with the drink

Straight up when I'm kicking this shit

Don't put this piss-weak rap on a pedestal

Cupcake bullshit (Fuck) sounds fucking pitiful

Time to get rid of you, wipe the slate

Bedroom rappers, erase the Myspace

Time to kill like I got time to waste

Time beef like I got time to take

Clock you in the grill, I got time to melt

Any time of night you won't get the time of day


[Chorus]

You're not built for this, silverback habitat

Move in, move up, move out, move back, stand clear (Stand clear)

Grown man talking, know your place

Keep the bullshit walking

You're not built for this, silverback habitat

Move in, move up, move out, move back, stand clear (Stand clear)

Grown man talking, know your place

Keep the bullshit walking


[Verse 2]

This is what you've been missing, the Briggs is back

Gordon Ramsay rap "get the fuck out my kitchen"

The heat is too much for you apprentice chef

Slick with the Ginn-su, brought up in Shep

Nothing better to do and this is what I do best

Step in the spot, put the fear of God in your chest

I'm the sure shot, smash this, sure, why not?

Take yours, take mine, no more, no less

I'm the liability, people cringe when I'm there

Make the hair stand up on the back of their necks

React to the stare and get to cashin' 'em checks

Get out my way, I get to smacking the pests

I'm the best, my shit flows like a fossil

All these other cunts are coming out of Kanye's closet

They dress the same, act the same, rap the same, fucking lame

Motherfucker, learn the name


[Chorus]

You're not built for this, silverback habitat

Move in, move up, move out, move back, stand clear (Stand clear)

Grown man talking, know your place

Keep the bullshit walking

You're not built for this, silverback habitat

Move in, move up, move out, move back, stand clear (Stand clear)

Grown man talking, know your place

Keep the bullshit walking (Listen)


[Verse 3]

Listen, fucking just be told for once

I've got a chip on my shoulder and it's weighing a tonne

Better think again, you think I'm playing it dumb?

Not a pretty face son, I'm as smart as they come

And, as big as they is, failin' ain't on the cards

And I keep it together while they're fallin' apart

And I'm spittin' on this and they callin' it art

One wrong turn and we're back at the start

And that's that, I roll with crews that smash tracks

I get an [?], you've got the clap

Basically I've got this shit downpat

A long way from the farms and the dirt tracks

These streets are half lit, laced with halfwits

Bones to pick, you get your car pulled quick

This is barstool shit with the flask and the hit

You're tip-toeing in a minefield kid


[Chorus]

You're not built for this, silverback habitat

Move in, move up, move out, move back, stand clear (Stand clear)

Grown man talking, know your place

Keep the bullshit walking

You're not built for this, silverback habitat

Move in, move up, move out, move back, stand clear (Stand clear)

Grown man talking, know your place

Keep the bullshit walking
