The Ring - Intellectual

[Intro]

It's been 7 years, man. I left at the height of my career, man and I'm coming back. It's like I'm starting all over again. It don't matter what I did before, man. This the music business, man. You're only as hot as your last hit. Everybody like, "Yo, can he get another ring?"

[Hook]

100 million records, all the work I put in

All they wanna know is will I get another ring, yeah

Will I get another win

All they wanna know is will I get another ring

[Verse 1]

The smile in my face, behind my back, they hate us

But like Bernie Mac said, I ain't scared of you motherfuckers

Little Haiti to Sicily, Big Pun, he was a friend to me

Fat Joe, he called me literally, put me on a track instantly

Caribbean connection put me all the way up

What goes up must go down, so Thugga picked me up

Ay, that's what I call that street cred

Take your chance in the lobby, you gone meet those Zoe dreads

Chef Creole, me and Khaled go back

So far back, boy 'Shottas,' man, he had a 6 pack

And I'm back on the tribe on a quest to go harder

So hard, you gon' think I'm all 3 Carters

Why haters wanna doubt that I'm Luke with the Force

Man, they kids got The Score, screamin' too much hot sauce

[Hook]

100 million records, all the work I put in

All they wanna know is will I get another ring, yeah

Will I get another win

All they wanna know is will I get another ring

[Verse 2]

The A stand for Alpha and Omega

The B stand for Bury You, that's what I'm known to do to rappers

C stands for Chance, once you take, regard your shit

DEF, is the squad, boy, read my lips

GH, General from Haiti, make my day

I stood in my jeans, in front of that 'K'

And for me to take a L, it's gon' take MN

What's that? Mother Nature with them strong winds

And O, my Peace Productions like the Q

As in Quincy when he did that Thriller, Michael Jackson blew

And this is who we are, STU

Abbreviation for the studio, I kill it in the booth

And the V, be very careful when you watchin' shottas

The W could turn to her and that's murder for hire

By the window, like X, don't ask Y

I ain't takin' no Zs 'cause the clan's outside

[Hook]

100 million records, all the work I put in

All they wanna know is will I get another ring, yeah

Will I get another win

All they wanna know is will I get another ring

[Verse 3]

Bean me up Scottie, I'm on that antidote

That Broccoli D.R.A.M gave me got me movin' slow mo'

This big, I'm countin' my blessings like I'm Sean

See the Future with my Jimmy Hendrix shades on

Haters wanna doubt and thought that I forgot my skills

That's like I am Mike forgettin' he trained Catskills

Vic hit me on the Jag, told me he mad

Wiz Khalifa paper plane'll have you feel glad

[Hook]

100 million records, all the work I put in

All they wanna know is will I get another ring, yeah

Do I rap or will I sing?

All they wanna know is will I get another ring

Oh, I'ma get another ring

From my mouth to God, aye

We gon' get another ring

I'ma get another win

We gon' get another ring
