Artist: Royce Da 5'9" f/ Eminem, King Green Album: Book of Ryan Song: Caterpillar Typed by: Nickolye16@aol.com [Intro: sample of Gil Scott-Heron] You will not be able to stay home, brotha You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials Because the revolution will not be televised [King Green] This right here for the number one Number one shit with your number one You ain't number one, just another one Now e'rybody sayin that they number one [Interlude: Royce singing] Ring the alarm The caterpillar keeps firing, ohhh We in the war Where butterflies keep dyin, ahhh [Royce Da 5'9"] I'm a product of Parker Lewis and Kubiak If I didn't do this, where in the fuck would you be at? See there's a difference between us, what I spit hit arenas You a drip from my penis, I eat lions and sip hyenas You number one when it come to slaughtered mics I'm tryna be number one in my son and daughter life Uhh, all you niggaz my little rapper babies Y'all my children, y'all bit my shit and contracted rabies Don't you grade me next to these rappers baby, that's degrading My style got so many different facets I switch into so many different passions, I'm skippin class to be fascinating My pen is like Big Ben, this shit just a classic waiting Your favorite rapper come at me, I'll just decapitate him Out here congratulatin these has-beens who had they highs These rappers only won they matches because they strategize I'll bring Attica to these patterns and here's my battle cry [Interlude: Royce singing] Ring the alarm The caterpillar is firing, ohhh We in a war Where butterflies keep dying, ahhh (hey) [Chorus: King Green] This right here for the number one Number one shit with your number one You ain't number one, just another one Now e'rybody sayin that they number one Kid think your number won't quit Number one song, get your number one chick Number one fly with your number one kick When it's all done then your number gon' switch [Royce Da 5'9"] Hold up, wait a minute Guess what I'ma never do? Show so much respect to you That I feel like we're friends so now we no longer competitors That could be the death of you Never let someone who's not as smart as you, gas you up and tell you somethin you never knew Always stay professional, you always gon' make revenue Don't let people next to you, that don't want the best for you It's completely normal to hold onto a regret or two I do what I wanna do, they do what I let them do Everything these niggaz be sayin is a fuckin lie It's nothin I can say to you that is realer Remember when you praisin the butterfly Don't you ever disrespect the fuckin caterpillar [Chorus] [Eminem] + (Royce Da 5'9") You're lookin at Attila, the psychopathic killer, the caterpillar Don't tell me when I'm supposed to rap until e- -specially when your favorite rapper ain't even half as ill, a savage still, the track's a banana peel, attack of the silverback gorilla You're havin a little trouble fathomin this is actually happenin like Anderson Silva back when he snapped his shin in half and then had the shit hangin by a flap of skin after he tried to plant the shit back on the mat again Pad to pen I'm batty like eyelids when they're blinkin a lot You copy me but you're not You can't be butterflies, my offsprings are just moths I see that thing I'ma squash it and rip the wings of it off So ring the alarm, pull the extinguishers off the walls, set the sprinklers off Like Jada Pinkett and Queen Latifah 'til the shingles come off the roof, we'll shout at the ceiling, Slaughterhouse in the building, middle fingers a-loft! Say what I think when I rhyme In ink-pen I talk and the language I speak is my mind, Kingpin and Penguin combined Spit like it's King of the Dot, a singular thought I think of will help you distinguish apart the frauds from the cream of the crop (Wait a minute, hold up) Like a flashcard, damn dawg Is that copyin or payin homage? It's sad because dad taught you to rap as a damn toddler My dad is your grandfather, I'll have to re-hatch on ya Come back as a black wasp, half yellow jacket you can't swat, a Sasquatch dancin on top of an ant Trample it and stomp it, smash it and stand on it Damnit I can't stop it The rap is a vag' and I'm goin in like a tampon in this bitch, it's a manslaughter Stampin out grasshoppers, you can't be no +Rap Gods+ In fact you're exact opposites, you make a wack song/wax on And can't hold a candle but even Daniel-san wax/whacks off You jack-offs, need to cum/come to grips like a handjob ... The boom bap is comin back with an axe to mumble rap; lumberjack with a hacksaw! Number one, but my pencils are number twos Cause that's all I do's with 'em, poop is my pseudonym On the john like a prostitute when I'm droppin a deuce and when I'm producin them lyrical bowel movements these beats are like my saloons Cause these bars always got my stools in 'em And I don't need Metamucil to loosen 'em Bitch, shit +Is-real+ like I pooped Jerusalem I'm 'bout to go spin another cocoon then I'm cuttin you from your mother's womb then I'm flushin you!
