Got it twisted, ha

Word


[Verse 1]

Well, this is me

Let me brake this one down for the culture

Put a nail in the coffin of a value blood sucking vultures

The way you represent your brand is repulsive

Making so many stupid decisions, all impulsive

I swoop down and steal your soul

Accidentally drop you off your top floor balcony

Leave the suicide note beside the book shelfier

Out farm really willing to go and there ain't no tellin'

Before you open up your lips, check your fuckin' spellin'

I leave your crew with fresh wounds

All bruising and swellin'

I'm just lettin' shot fire, no fightin' and yellin'

Makin' money dirty and clean since like 'O 'Seven (Go-getter)

I just been investin' in future

Taking chances become something from nothing to world wide steppin'

I'm on the right side of a British inner section

One block posted away, you'll be gone in fifty seconds (Peace)


[Chorus]

I grew up on the living legends and Mos Def

Was in the freestyle sessions skippin' presets with Jeff

This is my sign of respect

Don't get your roots twisted

Got it twisted, ha

Word


[Verse 2]

And I'm not sittin' here hatin' on any rapper

I got enough enemies, attention's not what I'm after

I'm all the way suspended in the coliseum rafters (All the way up)

Front road standing watching them Lackers and Raptors (I am)

All your girlfriends wanna come to the partyafter

But don't sweat I won't try to fuck 'em when they're backstage

I'm already taken and she's not that pretty anyway

I write hand later, lady handle my biz when I'm M.O.A

(It's my wife, man)

And she's good with the blade, slice you up, fish fillet

Get some more electrolytes and you'll stop drinkin' (?)

Soon you'll be just another free agent that's up for trade

Shouda asked somebody before you came up and fucked with me

Oops..


[Chorus]

I grew up on the Swollen Member and Fresh West

Was in the freestyle sessions skippin' presets with Jeff

This is my sign of respect

Don't get your roots twisted
