    [girl singing in background]
    [Verse 1: Big Poo]
    The most magnificent
    Poo speak the unlipatent
    for the rhyme impatent
    complicate plenty circumtants
    I got enough friends to last my life
    fuck your feelings and your home town rice
    the stage is mine if I rocked the mic
    lead a love up the path of light
    It's due time to set a couple niggaz straight
    and get this beef off my chest plate
    bitch niggaz tryin to frustrate, dap you up on the low really hate
    is that the price of cats being to great?
    can I live without you all in my face? and ya hands high
    see that's the shit that I be talking about
    behind your back faggots runnin' they mouth, just stick a dick in it
    and have a seat homie, let us step to the floor front

    [Chorus]
