Swain I ain't givin' up these treats for free I'll tell these rappers 'no' and that'll be wise They using lies as collateral "Hey lemme get that beat dog, I swear I'll give it back to you" Cats claimin' that they reppin' the streets I'll hook you up but how you expect me to eat? That's real These niggaz forcin' me to go the unemployment route Now that I'm famous I'ma be sendin' invoices out You owe me (Danny! talking) Yeah...you remember that beat The one I tracked out for you? Yeah, THAT one, the one with the hi-hats you said was all loud and shit Well make the check out to Kiss My Ass III, nigga...ASAP [Chorus] [Verse 3] Yo I been out here in the struggle since the struggle began I'm 'bout to blow, I ain't talking 'bout a plug and two fans My third album and I'm lovin' it man The Times & Democrat ain't gotta interview me, the Republican Pat Buchanan, I pack two cannons: My beat-making abilities and raps you can relate to I hate to, come off like I'm arrogant but I really -- who am I kiddin', I'm arrogant as fuck Niggaz forced to take snapshots, 'cause staring ain't enough Food for thought; I hope you let it marinate enough Who'd have thought, this cat inherit major bucks? Wow! I can picture all these MC's now They'll be like, "Funny how D. Swain was on some cruddy shit Took home '3 Feet High & Rising', listened, studied shit Now he's on some 'Buddy' shit, insightful out the blue" They'll hate but then they'll try to bite like Tyson's mouth'll do Now that I'm famous all these strangers that was doin' me favors Like my success they had a hand in, now they got their hands out Niggaz that don't know me try to act like they my homie Tap me on the should-ey Like, "D. Swain, I think ya owe me"
