[Intro]
Uh, uh

[Pre-Verse]
You, you, you
Nothin' about your
Flow, flow, flow
Can make my mouth go
Down, down, down
Or my eyebrow go
Up, up
You suck, suck!

[Verse 1]
Nigga don't look at me like I knocked the party
Cause I want you to leave my time like Doc and Marti
You are not a part of my era
Titch, nigga get the fuck up, outta my era
You are making me sick
You (You, you, you)
Rubik's cubes and crews that chasin' a dream
You can take two plus two, and make it extreme
Navy, weak as hell
Only blocks that you saw are the ones with the letters that teach you to spell
So

[Chorus]
(You, you, you)
Basic rapper, I hate you
Go back, to the dates you came from (You, you, you)
Nigga rhymes done changed (You, you, you)
Styles done advanced
RUN DMC is a classic (You, you, you)
Nigga get back, in your time machine
(You, you, you)
Basic rappers, I hate you
Go back, to the dates you came from (You, you, you)
Nigga rhymes done changed (You, you, you)
Styles done advanced
RUN DMC is a classic (You, you, you)
Nigga get back, in your time machine

[Verse 2]
I think you niggas be writin' your rhymes
On that green paper with the thick lines
Niggas use in kindergarten
Dudes like me, I'm holy like Synagogues
I'm, Godly pick the pen apart like I'm a god
For you rap hard, but I know the answer
To what you add up to like the back of a flash card
If you take heave to the make believe
Niggas rappin' like they be sayin' they ABC's then you whack
Then you a

[Chorus]
(You, you, you)
Basic rapper, I hate you
Go back, to the dates you came from (You, you, you)
Nigga rhymes done changed (You, you, you)
Styles done advanced
RUN DMC is a classic (You, you, you)
Nigga get back, in your time machine
(You, you, you)
Basic rappers, I hate you
Go back, to the dates you came from (You, you, you)
Nigga rhymes done changed (You, you, you)
Styles done advanced
RUN DMC is a classic (You, you, you)
Nigga get back, in your time machine

[Bridge]
You, you, you
Nothin' about your
Flow, flow, flow
Can make my mouth go
Down, down, down
Or my eyebrow go
Up, up
You suck, suck!

[Verse 3]
The highlight, of my life, is my writin'
The type for five mics that strike like lightnin'
When I hear a nigga in here, griffin' because
He finished a year, you think that he spittin, nigga no
That ain't how it goes
You gotta think of how many niggas originated this shit
How many of 'em broke?
You think that how many niggas is rich today in this bitch
You can say that many niggas is dope?
No

[Chorus]
(You, you, you)
Basic rapper, I hate you
Go back, to the dates you came from (You, you, you)
Nigga rhymes done changed (You, you, you)
Styles done advanced
RUN DMC is a classic (You, you, you)
Nigga get back, in your time machine
(You, you, you)
Basic rappers, I hate you
Go back, to the dates you came from (You, you, you)
Nigga rhymes done changed (You, you, you)
Styles done advanced
RUN DMC is a classic (You, you, you)
Nigga get back, in your time machine

[Bridge]
You, you, you
Nothin' about your
Flow, flow, flow
Can make my mouth go
Down, down, down
Or my eyebrow go
Up, up
You suck, suck!

Royce da 5'9", real name Ryan Daniel Montgomery, is undoubtedly one of the underground rap kings of Detroit. The Michigan MC is a long-time collaborator of Eminem’s, meeting him in December 1997, and is noted as one of the greatest lyricists in hip-hop’s history (in 2012, The Source ranked him as the 48th greatest lyricist of all time in their top 50, this questionable ranking unsurprisingly being scrutinized by many as a gross misjudgment).

Although critics have previously cast shade on his ability to create a well-rounded body of work, many, critics included, considered his sophomore effort, Death is Certain (2004), to be a strong album. To learn more in-depth about his solo discography, read this page (the page listed is old, so it is not updated).

Royce is the Bad half of Bad Meets Evil (with Eminem), ¼ of Slaughterhouse (alongside Crooked I KXNG CROOKED, Joe Budden and Joell Ortiz), and ½ of PRhyme (with DJ Premier). Royce currently operates a independent record label, Bad Half Entertainment.
