[Intro]

CDs ain't sellin' no more anyways, man

Look at SoundScan

I really don't think it matters if—

[Chorus]

Everything I do is number one, that makes you two

And that spells trouble for me and you

'Cause that's how beef starts between crews

And I don't mind if I debut at number two

So why do you? If we make money, then why can't you

Be satisfied with what you do?

[Verse]

It's like our legacy's pregnant, we're plantin' eggs every record

They're beggin' me to release a CD every other second

But don't expect it, 'cause every time I get hit with that question

I just deflect it, get Ca$his or 50's record and check it

And Buck is out, like get these motherfuckers out 'fore I smack 'em

Plus T.I. just dropped an album now, go out and get that one

And I got a whole stable of artists who's able and fully capable

Of holdin' a label 'til I figure out when I'm ready to drop

Or maybe not, Shady, look how hot you were, on top

You were pop, you were so popular, now you're not

You're a washed up entrepreneur, how's it possible? Well, it's not

If your little fickle minds would've caught on, but you didn't

See, I don't rap for the green, I mean, I ain't greedy

But I also know what it's like to be needy

And I will never go back to poverty, see, it ain't easy

To try to step away from entertainment, separate it from CDs

And every day it just seems like we're beefin'

Even the media's meat eaters, they gotta give you something

To read or you won't buy it, believe what you wanna believe

Let 'em feed to you the BS—P.S. Peace to T.I., you 'gon be 'aight

And we out...

[Outro]

—I do is number (Peace) one, that makes you two

(Hold 'ya head up, partner!)

And that spells trouble for me and you

(You know how we gonna do what we're gonna do)

'Cause that's how beef starts between crews

And I don't mind if I debut at number two

(We gon' touchdown, back up in the private charter planes

We gon' touchdown, you know we gon' get it crackin' man

We gon' touchdown, I told you ain't no way to keep 'em quiet

With T.I. and Shady, baby, they gon' make a bigger riot

When we tou—)
