The Baddest

(album: 2000 - 2022)

You ain't know I could play the piano, did you nigga?

Can you say New York City?
Now as we proceed
To give you what you need (Bad boy)
Ladies and gentleman
And I say New York City
I would like to introduce to you
You know it's a vibe
He is
Said he's the baddest motherfucka in town

I could take five years off 'cause my shit is timeless
My core got my back so I'm standing on my promise
Theses niggas only backed by they labels, they all spineless
I'm backed by popular demand and on that timing
I popped out 2012, y'all wasn't outside then
Ten years later, tell me why y'all still hiding?
Niggas know who greater, fuck your favorite, I'm the greatest
They never could degrade us and I did it with no major
I made a lane for niggas by going my own way
I paved the way for a lot of these rappers you see today
So act like you know, bitch, I been had the flow, penetrating souls
Who the best MC's?
Kenny, Joey and Cole, the holy trinity
This that '95 Till Infinity energy
Knowing when I'm gone, they'll forever remember me
So show me love while I'm still in the vicinity
And show no sympathy for niggas who be moving finicky

Ooh, and I like it
I like it (Can you say New York City?)
Ooh, and I like it
Oh, baby (Can you say New York City?)
Ooh, and I like it
I like it (Can you say New York City?)
Ooh, and I like it

It's been a minute and I still kick a style with no gimmicks
Took some time off, now we back in this
What you niggas thought I was finished?
I'm offended, I'm just getting replenished, MCs getting diminished when I'm in attendance
Get finished like a sentence, period
Never is my light dimming
My shine is serious, a born star
These other niggas ain't on par
Who want spar? I got war scars
Two ARs and four scars
9 on my waist like a corsage, 'cause I talk large
These small town niggas ain't trying to see us gone far
Word to Khaled, yo, they hate to see you winning
They wanna see your life ending
Lights out, striking out in my ninth inning
Wiped out, they wonder how I just stay grinning
'Cause we came a long way since the beginning
Everything iced out, that's just how I'm living
(Bad boy)

Ooh, and I like it
I like it (Can you say New York City?)
Ooh, and I like it
Oh, baby (Can you say New York City?)
Ooh, and I like it
I like it (Can you say New York City?)
Ooh, and I like it
(Can you say?)

Come on, the baddest stay down always from beginning to end, you know what I'm saying?
Just get back to who we are, you know what I'm saying?
Like the baddest
Take that
