(Lil' Alfie) [Both]


Chorus

[Stop Drop and Roll], everybody down (get down)

Fire on the ground, fire all around (hot)

Let a couple fools, fire off some rounds (bbddd)

Then I hit the booth, and the sirens sound (call 911)

[Stop Drop and Roll], everybody down (get down)

Fire on the ground, fire all around (fire)

Let a couple fools, fire off some rounds (bbddd)

Then I hit the booth, and the siren sounds (whoop whoop)


Verse 1

Oh my bad (nah) I truly beg your pardon

Perhaps you're unaware, exactly what you’re starting

My time’s expensive, like an Audemars my rate no bargain

I’ve lived through Thunder, by keeping Rockets, like James Harden

Never missing a target, hit the sharpest, when I be ripping through garbage

I suggest you stay up in yo lane, or gets to parking

I’ve witnessed darkness, why I get lit, and spit this jargon

I suggest you come and take a bite, or quit the barking

So many rappers who think they can flow, got that heat but they cold, plus they weak and they old

I’m speaking in code, but never a mumbler , coming up, tell me how deep will I go

I’m freaking the flow, and keeping it low, she geeking to know, just who I am

You da man, but I’m a beast , that’s known to feast on stupid plans

I’m super man, no kryptonite, you coming with lyrical clips alright

I’m coming with lasers up out of my eyes, your red dot, I live that life

Ya’ll be on dem private jets, but me, I got the gift of flight

Feeding off of the fire in the sky you can’t even get a light (burnt)

Chorus

[Stop Drop and Roll], everybody down (get down)

Fire on the ground, fire all around (hot)

Let a couple fools, fire off some rounds (bbddd)

Then I hit the booth, and the sirens sound (call 911)

[Stop Drop and Roll], everybody down (get down)

Fire on the ground, fire all around (fire)

Let a couple fools, fire off some rounds (bbddd)

Then I hit the booth, and the siren sounds (whoop whoop)


Verse 2

Coming with fire to leave em all lit up now get up I’m something like Lucifer burning

Thinking you going to heaven but stepping to Desmond, you finna be losing and learning

Abuse em and hurt em, I don’t wanna pull out my heater, but see they be choosing the burner

No proof of the murders, they call it the booth, but truth be told, they caught in a furnace

Thank God, I’ma thermos, I’m holding this heat , like Thanos, these battles are done when I snap

Scheming to tattle, I’m turning they beef into cattle, there’s really no touching my raps

Repping my map, 541 on my back, hands up in the back

Really could care less when haters be hating, cuz women they dating be loving my tracks

Puff puff and I pass, never to mess up rotation, plus I’m the best in the nation

Testing my patience, like an accordion, sorry ain’t heard of ya, check ya location

Death to my patients, turn into Dr. Kevorkian, murder with less innovation

Left in a cage and, flavored like Cajun, eat you and beat you, on separate occasions

Not in a race and my weapon ain’t racist, take 10 paces, sever their faces

Picture a pitcher vs soldier, that’s leaving ‘em running on home, when they step on the bases

Effortless maintenance, even the smallest of effort amazes, left ‘em in dazes

Days is, turning to weeks, they all turning weak, whenever I catch ‘em in blazes

Get in ya places!

Chorus

[Stop Drop and Roll], everybody down (get down)

Fire on the ground, fire all around (hot)

Let a couple fools, fire off some rounds (bbddd)

Then I hit the booth, and the sirens sound (call 911)

[Stop Drop and Roll], everybody down (get down)

Fire on the ground, fire all around (fire)

Let a couple fools, fire off some rounds (bbddd)

Then I hit the booth, and the siren sounds (whoop whoop)

Wordplay and imagery combine here to imply that his opposition is being kept in captivity and beaten regularly, but also will be eaten later like a Cajun flavored chicken.

“Picture a pitcher vs soldier, that’s leaving ‘em running on home, when they step on the bases”

He is comparing a baseball pitcher and a soldier. If a pitcher let his competition run on home (homebase) when they stepped on the bases, he would be a bad pitcher.

However, if a soldier is guarding his base (military base) and leaves his opposition running on home, he would be a great soldier.

So he is saying in an equal scenario, he would be the soldier, and the other rapper would be the pitcher.

James Harden is a basketball player who played for the Thunder, and now plays for the Rockets. He is saying he has lived through Thunder (bad weather) representing life’s struggles, and opposition in the form of other rappers. He has done so with Rockets, meaning both: things that have elevated him like a rocket mentally, and weapons such as a gun.

Rich rappers can afford private jets, but as Superman, he doesn’t need them because he can fly.

To be The Man means you are cool. But to be a Beast means you are a vicious rapper with dope bars. He is giving credit for the other rapper being cool, but saying he doesn’t compare to his lyricism.
