Lyrics[]

My raps is better than yours

My plaques is better than yours

My tracks is better than yours

You can have one but I have to charge

We can start with the hits on my arm I already got the bomb

Now all I need is my first LP to go gold

Then I will have the qualm uh-uh uh-uh uh-uh

I'm Kon the Louis Vuitton Don

Bought my Mom a purse now she Louis Vuitton Mom

Still might throw on a little low arm they want me to stop, go on, go on

They don't want me to shop and me spending that hard

Oh my God is that a black card

I turned around and replied why yes

But I prefer the term African American Express

My plaques is better than yours

My raps is better than yours

My tracks is better than yours

You can have one but I have to charge

La la, la la, la

Off MTV

La la, la la, la

When you gonna go out with me

Brains Power and Muscle like Dame Puffy and Russell

Your boy back on his hustle don't know you don't discuss you

Every rapper want to know when they can get to work

Every stylist want to know where they can get the shirts

Everybody ripping my style like the shit that hurts

But they don't give me my credit that's the shit that hurts

There's something I might say, there's something I might play

A beat I might made might make they life change

And save they whole deal, they wrist is on chill

They house is on hill, you could be Lauryn Hill

See y'all write songs to keep the lights on

I'ma go in Def Jam and turn the brights on

Man I'm just sayin'

When I wanted to rap y'all thought I was just playin'

Now y'all just prayin'

'Cause my raps is better than yours

My plaques is better than yours

My tracks is better than yours

You can have one but I have to charge

You was a vic in high school, now you a thug?

Better step in the name of love

Before you giving pain a hug

Needing dope is like pain to drugs

Or aiming slugs til the game unplugged

Like a scoreboard with vice and warlords

Hot merchandise prices they want more for it

You was pink as ice single need to think it twice

Over the bitch and you came out like freaks in the night

Freed your mind at a cheaper price

On the street trying to seek advice

I'm on point like I speak to dice

Took the underground at a steeper heights

May real n***as see the light, got fat girls eating right

Haha, we in this bitch, yeah

Hahaha

It's Common and Kanye

Y'all n***as know what time it is, motherfuckers

Chi-Town, DJ Pharris

Heavy Hitters what up?

Mike Love What Up?

DJ Enuff

Pharrell! That's my favorite producer by the way

That's why I had to rap on this

'Cause his tracks is better than yours

My tracks is better than yours

Just Blaze tracks is better than yours

You can have one but we all gonna
