Intro [Eminem]:
It's not about lyrics anymore, it's about a hot beat a catchy hook
Verse 1 [Eminem]:
If we gotta dumb down our style and 'ABC' it
then so be it, cause nowadays these kids
just, don't give a shit 'bout lyrics
all they wanna hear is a beat and that's it
'long as they can go to the club and get blitzed
pick up some chicks and get some digits
and the DJ's playing them hits
oh, this my jam, this my shit
we don't know a word to a verse, all we know is the chorus
cause the chorus repeats the same four words for us
and the song's ginormous, a whole formula switched
cause we don't know anymore what a hit's
this is the beat, this is the rap
is it a finger snap or the same 808 clap
and how do we adapt and get TRL votes
when 13 year-olds control the remotes
and Ashley's got a brand new nose
we gotta put some new emphasis on the 'syllalibles'
Verse 2: [Jay Z]:
If the emphasis on the compact disc is in a beat
then I'm gon' feature Em and get rich
and let Dre mix the shit and drive off in the Range Ro'
cause err'where I go they love the "blang blang" flow
bang bang, look at the way my chain glow
the ring on my fing cost ya man a lotta dough
the fuck am I bustin' my brain fo'
just the way the game go, oh it takes two to tango
you call this a lame flow, you bought the shit
I guess you to blame too, I just found the angle
no more reality flows,
I'm tryin'a time my album droppin' with a reality show
cock the Mac-11 in front of Hot 97
and call my publicist, tell her we impress heaven
no one gives a shit except some kids
who just got into sex on the internet
so you want the chat room or the house in Malibu
Em, your emphasis is on the wrong 'syllalible'
Verse 3 [Dre]:
They say 30's the new 20, funny
must mean 40's the new 30, interesting
cause ever since then, it's been, in a sense, an extension
for veteran rappers, that are better than half of
this shit comin' out right now, it's all trash
the torch is gon' burn out before it gets passed
Jay say this his last, then 50 and Em
then what, Detox drops, what do we got then
so now our whole camps is running around
scramblin' over what to do, gamblin'
every time we put a record out
just lookin' for that hook
(wait Dre, look)
Hook [Eminem]:
Shorty I love you, and you love me too
we were meant to be, cause
shorty you love me, and I love you too
and I promise I'll be true to you
Verse 4 [50 Cent]:
Go shorty, it's your birthday
you made it just in time to hear my wordplay
it's the kid that fit flows, who used to flip O's
I run G for days, you should see how I get hoes
I'm international, I get my dick licked 'round the globe
I'm sick, right in the shows, we ridin' on low-lows
puffin' on co-co, my bitch in Manolos
don't fuck with the do-dos, that's slang for dumb hoes
I'm playin' I ain't got time to joke joke
you fuck around, you could get your ass smoked, loc
it's not a game, me, B, I ain't playin', beat behind me playin'
so you here anyway, you don't hear what I'm sayin'
me, fi-finine-nay, fid-fiddydy-day
just give me my check and I'll be on my way
sunny bunny money and funny
you ain't even listenin' and I just took your money
Verse 5 [Stat Quo]:
There once was I time everywhere you turned
Shady Aftermath was all you heard
but they say 50 sang to much, and Em got soft
and they say Dre just fell the fuck off
well fuck the fuck off, saw y'all eat salt
be mad, we back, fresh up outta the vault (Oh)
new 'sylalibles', eat ball, you fuck off
yo' house, yo' bitch, I'm gettin' sucked off
east side, midwest, even up north
fallin' victim to wack spittin', bring out the white chalk
all for the gingerbread, we get it and get lost
catch me if you can, I'm runnin' past while y'all walk
Verse 6 [Cashis]:
Shady made me for bringin' it back
'fore the history of rap is gone with a snap
a snare, and a clap, what happened to just spitting
'bout living in the ma'fuckin' city you at
in the grimiest condition, I breathe in drama
King Mathers and Cash meet, that's free karma
I'm everything, anything, you can never be
it's a hidden rhyme of the month deep in the beat
I speak with a piece, no peace on my mind
I repeat every evil deed done to mine
no rest contest, contract is signed
by blood I'm in this squad for life
even brought my windpipes and, I just chime
I'm the reason you guys won't say that line
I'm crazy, renegade like Em and Jay Z
I'm Rosemarie's baby, I hate you to hate me
Hook [Eminem]:
Shorty I love you, and you love me too
we were meant to be, cause
shorty you love me, and I love you too
and I promise I'll be true to you
Outro [Eminem]:
It is not about lyrics anymore, It is not about lyrics anymore
it's about a hot beat, a hot beat
it's about a hot beat, a hot beat,
a hot-hot-hot beat, and a catchy hook
a hot-hot-hot beat, and a catchy hook
nobody gives a damn about them syllables, syllalibles, whatever they are
I don't care if you gotta rhyme schmoe, moe, Joe, toe and flow
now get out there and sell some goddamn records (repeats while it fades out)
