You used to treat me like a recluse, like a recuse (when I'm gone, yeah)
Like something was the matter with my beat use
Like I can't defeat you, I'm gonna teach you (when I'm gone)
So lean in a bit closer so I can beat you
You used to treat me like a recluse (hate me), like a recuse (when I'm)
Like something was the matter with my beat use (when I'm)
Like I can't defeat you, I'm gonna teach you (when I'm gone)
So lean in a bit closer so I can beat you
When you hate me, go wreck a label, go wreck a label
You playin' out the story of Kane and I'm Abel
I'm like a wild horse when I rock the turntable
I'ma style your runnin' circles, ride your whole damn stable
I'm gonna teach you a lesson like Aesop's Fable
Chew with your mouth closed for your little auntie Mabel
Don't get greedy when a MC is able
To put you on the map, you and your whole damn label
I won't wiggity forget the time you made me so upset
When you chickity tried to stop me and told me to forget
About me giddy makin' money, gettin' out of debt
Like I could never join your club or drive in a jet set
Think of all the paper we could've made together
But you treated me like trash, you gonna pay forever
You had to get greedy, you had to be clever
You thought you didn't need me, replace me, nah, never
Will you hate me when I'm gone? (When I'm gone, yeah)
When I'm gone (gone), when I'm gone (gone)
I said, I said, yeah
Will you hate me (hate me) when I'm (when I'm) gone? (When I'm gone)
Gone (when I'm gone, when I'm gone)
Will you hate me? Let me lay it down, check one, here we go
Clear out the studio, 'cause I'm ready to blow
Come on, put it down while I'm feelin' this flow
It's so raw, yet so refined, old Bordeaux
These rhymes that I mutter, chickity took me from the gutter
I spread 'em on like a thick stick of duck butter
Put your ear to the ground, listen for the sound
Act like a bloodhound, lay down, roll around
Roll over but don't beg 'cause I ain't comin' back
To a home I don't own, I ain't wick-wick-wack
Can't hold a MC down, especially when he's grown
Can't take back my crown, can't sit up on my throne
Can't have a piece of what you could've had before
And can't take a lease on what you threw out the door
You can't turn back the clock to 2004
You can't do nothin' about me even in the score
You just hit me like a recluse, like a refuse
Like somethin' was the matter with my beat juice (when I'm gone)
Like I can't defeat you, I'm gonna teach you (when I'm gone)
So lean in a bit closer so I can beat you
You hit me like a recluse (hate me) like a refuse (when I'm)
Like somethin' was the matter with my beat juice (when I'm gone)
Like I can't defeat you, I'm gonna teach you (when I'm gone)
So lean in a bit closer so I can beat you
You're gonna miss me when I'm goin' platinum in twos
As you watch me on TV doin' daily interviews
Shoutin' out my crews, hitting all my cues
Accepting my awards without mentionin' you
I'll never go away, I'm here to break hearts
I'm here to stay forever at the top of the charts
And I'll be licking hits while you'll be chasin' spare parts
And cryin', "Ouch, that hurts"
Still you hate me? (You had me right here, ready to sign)
(Staring straight down at the dotted line)
(You think you made me, but I would've been fine)
(Cause you didn't make my hit, they all came from my mind)
(I thought 'em all up, just like I'm still doing)
(As a matter of fact, I got a fresh one brewing)
(Throw me a mic so I can put it on wax)
(It's all about how you let me slip)
Still you hate me? (Like a recluse, like a refuse, when I'm gone)
(Yeah, like somethin' was the matter with my beat juice)
(Like I can't defeat you, I'm gonna teach you)
(When I'm gone, gone, yeah, yeah)
(So lean in a bit closer so I can feed you)
(Still you hate me? Like a recluse, like a refuse, when I'm gone)
(Like somethin' was the matter with my beat juice)
(Like I can't defeat you, I'm gonna teach you)
(When I'm gone, gone, yeah, yeah)
(So lean in a bit closer so I can feed you)
(Still you hate me? Like a recluse, like a refuse, when I'm gone)
(Yeah, like somethin' was the matter with my beat juice)
(Like I can't defeat you, I'm gonna teach you)
(When I'm gone, gone, yeah, yeah)
(So lean in a bit closer so I can feed you)
(Still you hate me? Like a recluse, like a refuse, when I'm gone)
(Like somethin' was the matter with my beat juice)
(Like I can't defeat you, I'm gonna teach you)
(When I'm gone, gone, yeah, yeah)
(So lean in a bit closer so I can feed you)
