Song lyrics

[Killer Mike:]
Gun in the holster be
Right in the upholstery,
Somewhere right close to me
Just in case the rollers be rolling on the G,
My woman keep it in the hosiery,
I'm known in my town in those strips where high rollers be.
I'm up early, where the money folders sippin' Folgers be,
A country boy chillin' in Brooklyn like Lefty spoke for me.

[El-P:]
Fuck with us,
You fuck with the truth,
We speak openly.

[Killer Mike:]
Never a rat, like Donnie Brasco, though,
Cause there ain't no hoe in me.

[El-P:]
"Notice me, senpai!" they cry when I choke their speak,
I'll set this crooked city on fire to light the smoker,
Old timers speak of us hushed and clutch their rosaries,
I lust after greatness, I'm aiming right at its ovaries.
Better run from the future palooka, (haul off!)
You acting like it's safe when the revolution's been (called off!)
There's liars on the loose, if we listen to you we're (all lost)
The takers of the jewels never singing a tune at (all soft!)

[Hook:]
My mama said that I'm not living right,
She said, "I'm cryin' on ya'”,
She said, "I waited up for you all night",
I said, "I'm tryin', mama!"
My mama said that I'm not living right,
She said, "I'm cryin' on ya'”,
She said, "I waited up for you all night",
I said, "I'm tryin', mama!"

[Killer Mike:]
I smoke the holy herb, get high as hell and meditate,
Swear to God, shit's so good, fat boy'll levitate,
God gift to man, how the fuck they try to legislate?
Mom's, she recovering, tell me I overmedicate,
I tell her, "Holy fuck, Jesus Christ, give me a fuckin' break!"
She said, "Don't curse your mama, godammit!” and threw a dinner plate.

[El-P:]
(Damn!)
I heard it in Brooklyn where all the sinners stay,
You running out of ways to go fuck yourself, I will innovate,
The skin of your shitty grin'll disintegrate,
Every sickening sentence'll cheapen them tricks you venerate,
Set the phaser to face-plate-incinerate, Run the Jewels, run with the Borg,
Bitch,
Assimilate!

[Hook:]
My mama said that I'm not living right,
She said, "I'm cryin' on ya'”,
She said, "I waited up for you all night",
I said, "I'm tryin', mama!"
My mama said that I'm not living right,
She said, "I'm cryin' on ya'”,
She said, "I waited up for you all night",
I said, "I'm tryin', mama!"
They want us dyin', mama!
But I'm not crying, mama!
You raised a lion, mama!
And I ain't lyin', mama!
