slowF*ck no go for brokeHis cup just runneth over oh noHe ain't had a buzz like this since the last time he overdosedThey've been waiting patiently for Pinocchio to poke his noseBack into the game and they knowRap will never be the same as beforeBashing in the brains of these hoesAnd establishing a name as he goesThe passion and the flame is ignitedYou can't put it out once we light itThis shit is exactly what the f*ck I'm talking about when we riotYou dealin' with a few true villainsWhose staying inside of the booth truth spillin'And spit true feelingsTil our tooth fillings come flying up out of our mouths, now rewind itPayback muthafucka for the way you got at me so hows it taste?When I slap the taste out your mouthWith the bass so loud that it shakes the placeI'm Hannibal Lecter so just in case you're thinking of saving faceYou ain't gonna have no face to saveBy the time I'm through with this place, so DrakeIt may not mean nothing to y'allBut understand nothing was done for meSo I don't plan on stopping at allI want this shit forever mayne, ever mayne, ever mayneI'm shutting shit down at the mallAnd telling every girl she the one for meAnd I ain't even planning to callI want this shit forever mayne, ever mayne, ever mayne
