[Intro]

[?]

They said, "Hey, player, you wanna do a joint?"

I said okay, I said okay, player

Jean Grae [?]

[Verse 1]

New York, stand up, it's your solo commander (Uh-huh)

We're back like a boatload of pandas with loaded handguns

Best damn one with a plan and a good backup (What)

In a black van running down your hood, you'll get snatched up

I'm a rap-napping nigga, cold like a path smearing a girl's hole

Smacked there hard in this dark soul

You're not seeing things right, man

You like Jean with a wet dream

The next best thing is too threatening, huh?

[?]

[?]

They glow bright like shogun fights when Bruce slaughtered them

Orderin' all your cavalries, I violate all cavitiеs

I'm a smooth-faced walkin' nigga, loud like your best Walkman

Crownеd with a small bomb I drop when I'm city-stalking

You know what they call it when the game is stalling

I travel the portable heat massage with a George Foreman

(You got that? Aight)

(You didn't? Fall back)

([?] to the verse)

(Come all the way back)

[Chorus]

(Niggas fall back) Know your place

(Fall back) Get your face up

Give your space up, niggas, the game's stuck

I've got a trace on y'all, and I'm closin' the [?] in

Fall back all the way to the basement

(Niggas fall back) Know your place

(Fall back) Get your face up

Give your space up, niggas, the game's stuck

I've got a trace on y'all, and I'm closin' the [?] in

Fall back all the way to the basement (Your replacement?)

[Verse 2]

You got the memo, nigga, stop frontin' (Stop it)

I'm not [?] to the back of your throat where you're used to only cops coming

Stop stuntin', Jean on your block, keep them buzz running

Like the buzz gunning after running your sock money

[?]

Plus this locked door that I'm standing behind makes me a little sore

Landmine your property, cut your landlines

[?] tour all in the same night (Aw yeah)

Made and finagled mics and cables with major excitement

Say fuck the major labels hatin', I'm majorly nice (Ah)

Peddlin' hustlers, penny dollar machine with muscle (Uh-huh)

If anybody's readily schemin', readily tussle (Uh-huh)

Cicely Tyson and Ruby Dee with a mic

And illuminated like alpine snow unskated

You know, Mean Jean with a ton of hatred

It ain't even have to rhyme just then (It did, I'm fakin' it)

(Nigga, fall back, don't worry about what they doin', come on)

[Chorus]

(Niggas fall back) Know your place

(Fall back) Get your face up

Give your space up, niggas, the game's stuck

I've got a trace on y'all, and I'm closin' the [?] in

Fall back all the way to the basement

(Niggas fall back) Know your place

(Fall back) Get your face up

Give your space up, niggas, the game's stuck

I've got a trace on y'all, and I'm closin' the [?] in

Fall back all the way to the basement (Your replacement?)

[Verse 3]

It's not over yet, still got a little bit of grip in it

Like [?], or your lip leakin'

From when the brass knuckles crash passed your defense

You're weak, [?] knuckle your knees [?]

I know I got a violent mind, I try to stop it

I'm detoxed and [?] had me in mean spots

So I release these raps better than act on 'em

I see me chased by three cops with max runnin'

So get your shoulders squared, nigga, I'm not scared

I double dog dare you to take me there
