Back Off

(But I don't even know you now)
(Thought I knew you then)

Yeah
Heard that you said
That I act like I know it all
Tell me something that I don't know
Hearing both sides of the story
They speaking too different
This ain't duo-lingo
Wanting this beef with me?
Don't give up easily
I'll put your seat in the front row
Now you're just skating on thin ice
Yeah, looking like frozone
With how you telling those lies
Surprised that your pants ain't on fire
Yeah, set the bar so low
It's looking like limbo
I'm making it higher
They put a lil' asterisk beside me
What? You don't understand?
You can't move forward
Until you get past me, yeah
This field is required
Someone done said
It's on sight with me
They must be blind because
They ain't do nothing
How that make sense if you talking
That mess about me
But you still ain't do nothing?
If you got a problem with me
That's fine
Just please stay out my way
I try to stay on my toes
But one thing I can't stand
Is someone that's fake
You know that I'm back
So you better be watching your back
If you wanna go trash talk
My name in your mouth so until
It gets out it'll be leaving a bad cough
I stay doing this all the time
Finishing things is protocol
Since you can't see all the signs
I'm telling you right now to back off

Woah, woah, woah, back off
Yeah, uh, woah, back off
Woah, uh, yeah, back off
Uh, back off, yeah

Back outside, no lies
Different timing
Sun setting later
But I'm still rise and shining
Lights so bright
That I might be blinding
You should be in fear every time
That I'm rhyming
Uh, give a listen
To my songs I got no misses
Won't strike out
Hit all those pitches
Diss everybody
So you come to your senses
You, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you, and you
I ain't talking 'bout the band
When I diss you too
Walking contradiction
Talk so much but never listen
Saying you real
But really you is fiction
Messing with me? Self infliction
Called me hypocrite? Self projection
Looking like Einstein-
Learned your lesson?
If 'e' equals MC to the second
I'm the best MC, that's no question
Woah, lemme just say
Don't like my music
Then I understand it
But I know for a fact
If you bet on me
Then you won't leave empty handed
You know that I'm back
So you better be watching
Your back if you wanna go trash talk
My name in your mouth so until
It gets out it'll
Be leaving a bad cough
I stay doing this all the time
Finishing things is protocol
Since you can't see all the signs
I'm telling you right now to back off

Woah, woah, woah, back off
Yeah, uh, woah, back off
Uh, yeah, woah, back off
Uh, back off, yeah
