[Round 1: T-Top]
They told me I canât come to London and rap about drugs!
Letâs get that understood!
I say, âWhy not? I know how to rock everywhere just like a hustler should!â
Even if London was sober - n***a, Iâm from the âhood!
As long as real n***as in the building, then Iâm fuckinâ good!
Aye, and as long as yâall got some bad bitches, then Iâm fuckinâ good!
Itâs T-Top versus Iron Solomon
The rules changed, Iâm hopinâ this time you follow âem
You move wrong, I will knock Iron out of it!
Or flame the metal: Iâm tryna make Iron out of him!
Iâm doubtinâ him
Sorry, but I gotta offend you
The whole culture is tired of beinâ tolerant witâ you
You Jewish, right? So you should feel this line when it hits you:
Iâll be the first to put one in Solomon temple!
Like, do I gotta convince you?
Bitch, a hollow will split you!
I give him 9, then take it back like the size didnât fit you!
Nah, that line was too simple
âCause, see, I ride witâ the pistol
Whip him, then bring it back like Iâm drivinâ a rental!
N***a! N***a! N***a!
BITCH! BITCH! BITCH!
Dawg, I can supply what you into
Weight, dimes, or the nickels
One sniffâll open your mind like you tryna be liberal!
Iâm a trapper, I done touched a lot of cash, Iron
Dope-slinger, I even cooked inside a cast-iron
We seen the movie
You barely made it in that Bodied cast, Iron
Well, when Iâm shootinâ clips, they gotta make his body cast iron!
Iâll blast Iron!
Bitch n***a, you better call your team
Two cannons blackinâ on Iron Man like the War Machine!
He said he cominâ with that big poppa? It was all a dream
âCause they ainât know Iron got pressed, âtil they saw the steam!
Iâm from the âQuay, where n***as keep the two-tone clappinâ
You could get an extra five years for school-zone trappinâ
Where a fuck n***a will die if he lose those habits!
And theyâll YouTube your murder if the news donât grab it
But you a faggot, âcause you been scared of Webster Hall since your last bang-up
The embarrassment cost more than what Smack paid ya
You had your- Facts!
You had your bitch in the building: a hat-hanger
He took his boo off the stage like a bad singer
They told him, âBattle Tay Rocâ
He said, âThe Black Ranger?
They love every bar he spit! Iâll be in mad danger!
Iâll pass, player! Just gimme my cash laterâ
Shoulda known a Jewish man would be scared of a gas chamber
BOW! Shoot him straight in his mouth
I heard he talk the talk
I told Smack I need me a killer, so this is all your fault
I asked for du-rags & Timbs: New York, New York!
They gave me Broadway & films: âNew York, New Yorkâ!
Aye, I walk the walk, you the drive-thru kind
Bitch, I be posted outside like the drive-thru sign
Shotgun, barrel longer than the drive-thru line
And I gotta keep it low like the drive-thru time!
We palm biscuits!
Iâll shoot up his car if his broad in it
I run down on both yâall like, âBe calm, bitches.â
If I detect her (detector) goinâ off like the alarm trippinâ
Iâll still hang her (hanger) in a cast like my arm itchinâ!
We war different, but itâs the same old mission
I know the weight of a skull when the brains go missinâ!
It ainât all about gunplay when we claim my victim
âCause where Iâm from, we like to play a game called âGet Him!â
(GET HIM!)
You old âWhy Smack always play me to the backâ-ass n***a! (GET HIM!)
You old âBeasley, they smokinâ in they roomâ ready to rat-ass n***a! (GET HIM!)
You old âIâm not a racist - my sisterâs boyfriend is Blackâ-ass n***a! (GET HIM!)
Well, Iâll kill YOU, YOâ SISTER AND BLACK-ASS, N***A! (GET HIM!)
We spark heaters!
Iâm still in the âhood witâ the raw diesel!
Everything you done in life, it was all legal!
My guns think I donât love âem no more, they all evil
Well, shout out Nina, Tre, and my Midget MAC
I canât forget about the small people!
Iâm like a barber when it come to these guns, I tape âem up
I put one against the grain: it ainât a cut
This battle like a one-night stand: strange as (strangers) fuck!
Think Hernandez
âCause last time, Aaron caught a body, but this time, Iâll make him hang it up
I wish you asleep right now, Iâll wake him up
Bulldog under the pit: letâs make a mutt!
The knife poke him slow in the stomach: itâs makinâ love
Thatâs a Hawk (hug), and itâs back together: they makinâ up
Iâm at his son birthday party like, âN***a, say whatâs upâ
Gave lilâ man a Sig' (cigâ), then blew the DJ like Playerâs Club
Give me a sinus, open his chest like Vaporub
âCause this stick to his roof be makinâ the neighbors fussed!
Concrete, n***a
[Round 1: Iron Solomon]
Yo, London, whatâs up? Whatâs up, yâall?
Itâs a good-ass crowd, yâall
I fuck witâ yâall, man, I fuck witâ yâall
Now...I donât know if out in London, yâall say âPauseâ or not
But we gonâ all agree itâs an awkward spot when Beasley calls you to offer Top
Nobody wanna take this plate! It gotta be force-fed
You say âNo thanksâ, you might wake up with a horse head in your bed!
Iâll take the battle, but I need more bread
Triple the digits, cop me 63 tickets
Fly out my mom, my kid, and my missus, then yâall can bring him to England
See what I did for my minion?
Itâs me puttinâ T (tee) on like him when heâs swimminâ!
Ladies! Donât we both look great?
Overweight, fried food fillinâ most our plates
Whatever diet we on gettinâ 3-0'd...no debate!
And Iâm a handsome muâfucka, but forget my groupies
More different colors of princess cut on him than 6ix9ine jewelry
I mean, the big guyâs boobies make womenâs insides woozy
Just picturinâ (picture in) the head like a mid-flight movie!
Just look at him, right?
Picture the type of woman heâd wifeâŠ
BLECCH! No WAY you gettinâ pussy tonight!
Give your second half to any jezzie hooker youâd like
She might give you the box, but she gonâ put up a fight!
But if we box, itâd be like as if weâd golf
âCause the very first time Iron swing, T (tee) off!
Youâll catch a beat down
One slap to T crown
Heâll be stumblinâ on stage like Smack between rounds!
Top terrified, see the fear inside his scary eyes
Heâs wonderinâ where to hide
Iâll hunt & kill him and wear the hide
Or whatever Top thinkinâ he got, I could top that
Put the same bullet Lincoln got in Top hat!
This Michelin Man gettin' dunked-
Or I could do like you when you add cutter to the tan butter
Except when man choppinâ up grams, itâs your dadâs mother!
Then T-T-T gettinâ stuck like a bad stutter!
Then this Michelin Man gettinâ dunked in the back of a truck
A big round for T-Top head like an African ankh
Or I could bury him somewhere that no one gonâ see
In Homerton, B
Cause of death? Unknown-T!
WHATâS UP!? WHATâS UP!?
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOOD!?!
Iâm the OG Creator, the bees and the birds
Iâm on the best comeback since Jesus returned
Thatâs why Iâm heated I ainât get to eat the feast I deserve
But when they bring out the cracker, you know T (tea) gettinâ SERVED!
You get these chances handed to you, witâ your fans standinâ behind you
I earn mine by beinâ a man, standinâ on my two
NWX, whatever rap circleâs around him
Park Lyfe, Darkside - Iâll rap circles around âem
This ainât Battle of the Night, it ainât a challenge or a fight
This a flight, and a trip to see the Palace with my wife
Book a champ like me for the talent and the hype
Book a chump like you just to balance out the price!
Iâm the steak and potatoes, you the salad on the side
You canât digest it, âcause youâve never had a salad in your life!
Melvin, youâve been sendinâ for me since you came out the house
With all of that âKing, KingâŠâ
Bitch, keep my name out your mouth!
Whatâs up!?
[Round 2: T-Top]
I said, yo
Did yâall know Jewish people circumcise their kids with they mouth?
Now thatâs some nasty shit
I just booked this battle to say youâse a nasty bitch!
Now when his wife give him head, he say, âI remember when my dad did thisâ
Just the thought of yoâ family photos would have me sick!
And that ainât it - all bullshit aside, Solomon
You lost to Math, but then Mook is where you died, Solomon
You ainât even apologize for leavinâ SMACK
Now thatâs mind-bogglinâ
âCause youâll put your son dick in your mouth, but now you got a problem pride-swallowinâ
See, you gotta respect the laws, or Iâmma start disbarrinâ him
Iâm the leader of the New School, itâs not for arguinâ
He seen the fansâ Mount Rushmore, and it stopped his confidence
âCause the real legends never made a spot for Solomon!
I got a box for Solomon, a whole plot for Solomon
Sendinâ out head shots, and itâs not for modelinâ
Iâm lookinâ for the room that the doctor got him in
To break his nose bone âtil the snot come out of it!
You not a snorter?
Well, try heroin, I got it foâ ya
Iâll put a White boy on smack (SMACK) and shock The Culture
Have him front page of the paper: Iâll promote ya
Or die with a Sigâ (cigâ) in your mouth: Iâll (Al) Capone ya!
Iâm on ya! This ainât gonâ go the way that you think, Aaron
Head shots, Iâm hittinâ his yarmulke when that thing airinâ
Take DNA belt off his shoulders and spank Aaron
Or put the .44 to his back: Iâll Hank Aaron!
Letâs rank Aaron, but dawg ainât competinâ on the list
If it wasnât for Organik, his career would be ceasinâ to exist
I could front you work, but if you plan on leavinâ with the bricks
Iâll use an arm over my paper like, âAinât nobody cheatinâ off my shit!â
Or Iâll beat him witâ the blikk! N***a, I got an iron piece
Somebody tell Iron âPleaseâ âfore I give it to Iron niece
The ironyâs he get a leg shot right through Iron knees
And now they both stuck together: look like they Siamese
Big cap! Leave him curled on the side like a Hasidic Jew
Or buck-fifty (*swoo*)
His face bubble up like acidic juice!
Big shark! You couldnât survive in the kiddie pool!
They thought Iron bars could stop the Bear like a city zoo
Wait, I gotta work on performance
Lemme switch the groove
Got me snappinâ witâ the arms out: this a Shiggy move!
He thinkinâ âcause he from New York, that n***a Biggie smooth
Well, if you ainât married to Faith, then theyâll be missinâ you!
I hit the Jew
On the real, you had a chance to glow
We expected yoâ fans to grow
Some of us couldnât stand you, thoâ
But there you go, makinâ us sick, lettinâ yoâ tantrum show
Now I gotta âurl (Earl) every time they sayinâ this man a GOAT (Manigault)
I would crack jokes about him havinâ one nut, but I ainât know if he could handle those
And plus, everybody done said it, itâs like a damaged wrote
Damn it, bro!
I guess itâs somethinâ them n***as canât let go
âCause after all this time, that one ball still gettinâ shade like LiAngelo
Whatâchu gonâ tell us, Iron?
One of the nurses did it?
It was a birth decision?
Or was Daddy goinâ too hard on that circumcision?
See, every time you mention that lilâ malfunction, he gets bothered
He gonâ rebuttal like, âKeep my nuts outta your mouth!â
You need to tell that to your father!
Aye, you better respect a real G!
âCause the Hecklerâs still mean!
You can run if you want, Iâmma let him build speed
Them Berettas will squeeze, I bet heâd feel these
Iâll put the toast to Iron like a ghetto grilled cheese!
N***a, yoâ career will only take you as far as the gas go
You Premium, but it sound like â93 with that wack flow
I ainât even bring a pump witâ me to jack bro
We could tell by Aaron attire (airinâ a tire) he flat-broke
I ainât even wanna face this square like the rag cold!
You fightinâ just to stay on this land like Smash Bros.!
I donât care if you was far away, or that close
Iâmma find a way to fry some shit like Black folks!
Concrete, n***a
[Round 2: Iron Solomon]
These comic authors who canât find the right words to scribe
Make it a black-and-white issue like Spy vs. Spy
But we need every race in this room for our culture to function
And my contribution to it ainât an open discussion
From my home where I come from, to gettinâ flown into London
Itâs way past sport (passport) to me to keep upholdinâ these Customs!
In front of White crowds, I black out
With Black crowds, I light it up
You blind if you canât see that, light or dark, I adjust
So brighten up
You couldnât be as good as me in your dreams
All that âme being Whiteâ noise just gonâ put âem to sleep!
Like they swallowed an Ambien
Iâm a God in this pantheon!
You got âem bored (boarâd) to death, King: Robert Baratheon!
With coke lord stories that are more so folklore
Big man say the same thing every show: Hodor!
We get it! You cookinâ butter, feedinâ glass dick to your hooker mother
But you rappinâ âbout cuttinâ cookies so long that itâs cookie-cutter!
Like that bottom row of golden teeth?
Now thatâs a style that no oneâs seenâŠ
I mean, aside from you, Shine, Roc, Math, Ill-
Thatâs so unique
Now every line thatâs cominâ from this cowardâs lips is counterfeit
And every time he smiles, we see somebody elseâs style he bit!
See, Big Topâs content been like a carnival lately
More lyinâ (lion) in the ring with the Bear than Barnum & Bailey
With your bars, you a dealer, gram hustler, mass murderer
But in your videos, you be dressed like the Hamburglar!
In your song, you a Don, livinâ the lap of luxury
But you look like you never had a meal without plastic cutlery
You not a criminal mastermind, cookinâ pure snow
You might have had a couple of scraps (Skrapz) with 9s (Nines), but took the Church Road!
THE FUCK IS GOOD!?
See, my people sold E and coke, acid, âshrooms, and hustled sensi
Me and my dogs sold more buds than Spuds Mackenzie
Shit, when I was slinginâ trees, I even did deliveries
Bringinâ leaves by the O to your door like Christmas wreaths
See, the shit you think is power moves, I could fuck around and do
It wasnât smart to step up here: I had to dumb it down for you
A devil with the details, too technical to toy with
You keep writinâ trying to sharpen up your pencil, but itâs pointless
Been regrettinâ all his choices since the second that the coin flipped
I ainât threatened by these trenches other legends have avoided!
SIDE BAR!
Volume 3 cominâ! Aye Verb, stop runninâ!
Surf, how you take five shots and STILL DUCKINâ!?
Gotti not the champ! How could Geechi be above me?
I leave Earth every battle!
He canât even leave the country!
(Fuck outta here!
2-0 already, and Iâm not done! Iâm not done!)
(*Runs the scheme back for the crowd*)
Put the gas in the pedal, bring your pad and your pencil
Lemme exorcise (exercise) my demons: come and dance with the Devil!
Once the battles get settled, Smack, hand me the bread
Iâll drop every crumb in my path like Hansel and Gretel!
Back to you, MelvinâŠ
So you the one whoâs finna take down my crown?
With all of that âKing, KingâŠâ
BITCH, keep my name out your mouth!
[Round 3: T-Top]
I said, London, this my closinâ verse!
Like, fuck a casket: throw this bastard in the back and just close the hearse!
I ainât come here to make the crowd go berserk
I came here just to show yâall workâŠ
(Now lemme PUT IT IN!)
Now history says King Solomon was the smartest man that ever lived
But also one of the most foolish
Now thatâs so true, itâs gotta be scary to go through it
I mean, we seen how you came in the game, so clueless
Dope music, but the way that you grinded was so stupid
For one second, letâs take away that yoâ folks Jewish
And that you had every opportunity to blow, but yâall blew it
Itâs all ruined
And he right: he is in here like a golf student
âCause now Iron tryna swing on T (tee) to get his ball movinâ!
Nah, doofus! Iâmma give you the truth!
Like if you want some back pay, you better get a masseuse!
JC started it, with the shit that he was digginâ into
On how we Africans, but still the original Jews
And you knew it, too
[Iron Solomon]
Facts
[T-Top]
Yeah, you knew it, too
This conversation is nothinâ private
We know when you put â-ishâ on a word, that mean you somethinâ like it
So if I tell yâall Iâm Black-ish, Iâm undecided
You canât sell a man a story who doesnât buy it!
Yâall tried it, but itâs the logic I donât agree witâ
Hitler might have been a monster, but he was genius
At least yâall n***as got reparations
We ainât receive shit!
And now he wantinâ us to be proud of your achievement?
Well, if Holla donât pop, his mama never get the treatment
If Roc werenât hot, that n***a daughters wonât be eatinâ
If I wasnât Top, my auntie probably still be fiendinâ!
You rap because you want it!
We rap because we need it!
You cheatinâ, âcause donât you and your pops own a successful business in Manhattan?
(*Iron shakes his head âNoâ*)
Yes, you do
Now, I ainât hatinâ you for that
Iâll let you be great...just be grateful where you at
Yâall conduct the marathons and all the races for the track
So you left battle rap and started chasinâ you a bag
Commendable! Just remember how that plays into the fact
On why we clown you for them years that you wasted on your craft
Now he playinâ catch-up, âcause we replacinâ what he had
And the marathons remind him every day he gettinâ lapped!
In fact, lemme tell you the reasons why we get on you
âCause Hollow took his brand overseas and made tickets move!
John John and Arsâ league owners, gettinâ residuals
If he found out what Holla cost (Holocaust), heâd be the sickest Jew!
So Beasley started ditchinâ you, Poison Pen split on you
Sony got rid of you, told you theyâre goinâ âdigitalâ
Your career been like a handicap bathroom!
What, you donât get it, dude?
You got bars inside, but itâs mad room for us to shit on you!
I mean, you lyrical, but I paint pictures and make it visible
I tell stories beyond bars: Iâm like the visit room
I mean, we seen his Mook interviews
Dude was lookinâ miserable
They gave him a lilâ space, then he changed, like a fitting room
Iâd get confused - a Jewish man doinâ the Devilâs work?
Well, Iâll leave his features open like he lookinâ for a second verse
Berettas squirt, Iâmma make it to where his headâll burst
Or start smackinâ Iron like...like, âMan, this shit donât never work!â
Bruh, donât be alarmed
Iâll ride up soon as the beef is on
Drive-by, scope out the window like a peepinâ Tom
Youâll get the Swiss (Swizz), or the Pistol On My Side like the Weezy song!
Or learn how to watch what you say like a sing-along
N***a! See, itâs a difference between Iron and me
This n***a Iron a geek
He went from Grind Time to SMACK, now he poppinâ the heat
But you are not from the streets
I donât care how much yâall pay him
Iâm not fakinâ, not in the least
And thatâs the differenceâŠ
This n***a Iron down to (the) front to make his pockets increase
You know, you iron down the front to make your pockets in-
I got a Louisville Slugger right now: bitch, Iâm breaking dude
This batâll (battle) go back and forth: that ainât debatable!
Iâmma leave his dog witâ the worms like table food!
His homies runninâ after the bust (bus): they late for school!
Concrete, n***a
[Round 3: Iron Solomon]
Yo, yo, yâall ready to bring it home?
So last year, your biggest loss was losinâ to Goodzâs inner thoughts
We saw you gettinâ taught what steppinâ to a vet in this ring could cost
And that Kenneka bar was light for him
His whole styleâs a disgrace
Always talkinâ âbout pedophiles or someoneâs child gettinâ raped
But you are the weird stranger
Not even a decent neighbor
Didnât say shit to defend your Carolina streets (Streetz) from danger
Like your struggle bars on Funk Flex you struggled to remember
Top felt like Topâs belt...buckled under pressure!
See, the fans that you have who relate to yoâ life love you
You disrespect them when you treat this stage like a side hustle!
So FUCK your junkie mama and the problems in your community
If, when he gives you a way out, you squander the opportunity!
You ate the food that he fed to you
Drank the water he lead you to
Smack been hand-feedinâ this Bear like itâs a petting zoo!
And everybody is hungry, no one wants to eat slop
But when you hunt enough to feed your tummy, the greed stops!
You and Eric poured all that money in T pot (teapot)
Still, the Bear wanna milk you for honey that Beasâ (bees) got!?
Like the company needs TopâŠ
Imagine how Roc felt
Them couple of cheap shots...shouldâve got Top shelved!
âCause Melvin...youâre the blueprint for a special sort of stupid
Recordinâ music thatâs full of stories oozinâ witâ your delusions
Sellinâ sniff the snorters usinâ, waginâ war on corners, shootinâ
But never got caught or wounded like some sort of immortal mutant
This street legend who formed a union
With battle rappers, a supportive movement
Just to help him have a conversation âbout business witâ a normal human
Boss, what part of you beinâ a conglomerate leader is that?
You use cocaine as a crutch
You couldnât lean on his staff?
In retrospect, was âSmack, I would like an extra checkâ
The words that you were too much of a coward to have said direct?
Gonna write an email? Send a text?
Just when we thought we couldnât have less respectâŠ
Airinâ family business out in public like Cadet and Krept!
OH, no! But in battle rap, thatâs how family man do!
I get mad at my son, Iâll run to AngryFan, too
And skip the scholars and entrepreneurs, forget the college
You can get all of your business knowledge just by callinâ up Hitman Holla
Yâall just let bygones be bygones, when you got what you had your eye on!
I thought that forminâ a union meant puttinâ you and I on (U-N-I-ON)!
But youâre selfish...youâre selfish...
âTil a couple extra digits, them threats were finished!
Yes man, went from âweâ (oui) to âIâ (aye), like switchinâ from French to English!
Itâs different! Super different!
Now itâs another year with this dummy here, with Smack as the puppeteer
And all the moves you make have strings attached âcause youâre a puppet-tier
Your hands are tied, they get to tell you when, who, what, and where
And if thereâs a clothing sponsorship, too, they tell you what to wear!
Son, letâs get somethinâ clear:
Iâve been up in here for 20 years
Was doinâ this when there was no money, âcause nobody cared!
Your little young career is nothinâ near what it takes to make you my fuckinâ peer, you fat little gummy Bear!
So yeah, sometimes the game is suspect
Ask me âbout it: Iâll change the subject
âCause business is just business, and real mean donât complain in public!
Melvin, the fuck you gotta say âbout it now?
âKing, KingâŠâ
BITCH, keep my name out your mouth!
Thatâs a classic, bro! Thatâs a classic!
Can we be friends again?
