Ladies and gentlemenwelcome to the lyrical grand prix
We have our drivers racin for a $3000000 purse
Winner takes allgentlemen start your engines...

Blazin the brakesinvadin your space
Which remains in the raceclaimin first place
Raisin the stakesit’s a game to disgrace

The invincible foldwhen they’re caught in the square
And the talk mad shit when the coast is clear

The purse snatchin poundby all means snatch cream

As we near the final lap
Team wu-tang seems to be buildin
A sizeable lead on the competition
YoI know how to fold ’em like kenny rogers

Movin on the track like a monaco gt
I stand out similar to 3d on your tv
Easily breezin watchin the speed dial climb
Style of rhymeleft the foes miles behind
Leavin skid marks on the charts
Aimed at the hearts of the fakesparked on the tapes
It’s starts from the gatedarts penetrate
Freestyle as the decoy to sharpen the bait
Holdin major weightmy supreme team dominates
