[Intro]

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Ayo, 50, what I tell you?

We ain't even have to say shit

They did it, ha-ha

[Chorus]

Monkey see, monkey do

Don't ever make the first move, just let 'em come to you

'Cause they gon' always see and do what the other one do

So let 'em come to you, the rest'll just follow suit

Monkey see, monkey do

Tweedle-dee, tweedle-dum

If they really want it bad enough, well, then they gon' come

Now here they come like we expected, now we just set 'em up

Checkmate, motherfucker, game's over, we won

Tweedle-dee, tweedle-dum

[Verse]

It doesn't take much for me to raise such a stank up

When motherfuckers hate your guts

You ain't even gotta say much

For me to put a pen to a blank sheet of paper

Is like smearin' bloodstains with a paintbrush

I can’t explain what it is my brain does

But however it works, it's insane, it's plain nuts

And it ain't just my brain that’s dangerous

It’s a whole combination of things, it takes nuts

And I’m not afraid to raise the stakes up

I got a million bucks in the bank and eight trucks

For anybody who gets on a track and spanks us

I'm patiently waitin' for the day, I’m anxious

To see the look on your fake mugs when you thugs go bankrupt

You're drunk, you ain't tough

Whatever you drank must've just turned you into some gangstas

This is me talkin', motherfucker, this ain’t drugs

You wanna pop shit, wake up then make up?

Fuck that! It’s too late chump, now face up

I pray for the day that someone who spits

With the caliber that Nas and Jay does

Opens up his jaws to say somethin' or rattle my name off

Or rattle the first thing from the top of his brain off

So, I can blow the fuckin' dust off of this chainsaw

And give him the surgery that he came for

'Til I peel the paint off, I never been shot

But I think me and 50 must've been cut from the same cloth

'Cause I've always came off like Ja's chain

When they tried to rush him and lost and came back

And gave him a watch in exchange for it

I don’t stop, only thing that I wait for

Is the day that I ain't gotta report to probate court

'Cause I'ma give you all a reason to hate more

'Cause I been holdin' my tongue 'til I got a sprained jaw

A lot of rappers on my list, it just ain’t Ja

And I'ma read that motherfucker off come April

You pussies think I went soft 'cause 8 Mile

When I come back, I’ll be shootin' more than just paintballs

Trust me

[Chorus]

Monkey see, monkey do

Don't ever make the first move, just let 'em come to you

'Cause they gon' always see and do what the other one do

So let 'em come to you, the rest'll just follow suit

Monkey see, monkey do

Tweedle-dee, tweedle-dum

If they really want it bad enough, well, then they gon' come

Now here they come like we expected, now we just set 'em up

Checkmate, motherfucker, game's over, we won

Tweedle-dee, tweedle-dum

[Outro]

Fucking dummies

This ain’t chess

You playin' motherfuckin' checkers

This shit is all day, man, it’s too easy

We playin' chess, you playin' checkers

You 'bout to get your motherfuckin' asses jumped

Fuckin' punks

And by the way

We ain’t just talkin' to one person

We talkin' to every-motherfuckin'-body who wants to bring it

'Cause we bringin' it to anybody who wants to bring it

So bring it

Don’t pick up the ball if you don’t wanna play, man

It’s all fucked up now

Fuck I’m s'posed to do now?

Huh?!

The fuck I'm s'posed to do?!

Ha-ha

Yo, we out
