[Intro: Royce da 5'9"]
Let's go (Bar Exam 2, nigga!)
Oh! Yeah
(Green Lantern) Hoh! Hoh!
(It's a fucking invasion, you bastards!)
This ain't 'Ye, it's more like AIDS
This ain't James it's more like a trade and you more like Wade
And I ain't playin', I'm more like Cuban
Not the cigar, Mark; introducing...

[Hook: Jay-Z sample]
(It's the new!) Best rapper alive, best rapper alive
Best rapper alive, best rapper alive

[Verse 1: Royce da 5'9"]
Naw, this ain't Wayne, it's more like Pain
And I ain't talkin' bout with T-dash in front
I'm more like needin' rehab for months
Hock and spew lyrics
On Dr. Drew's spirit until he has the mumps
Drunk, that's if I can put it in one word
My niggas that ain't with all the drinkin', they want herb
So even though the car plush
The ashtray full of dark butts
Like we rollin' up lookin' for Yung Berg
Top off, bitch in the front, domin' me up 'til my rock soft
Either that or she gon' get lockjaw
Stop? Naw! If she come up for air, I cut her of
Like Jesse Jackson with a hand on Barack's balls
Ahh-aww! Nigga, it's me!
Jumper movie in the flesh straight from It'ly
Five series, six series Benzes
Fuck them little C's, I'm on some ole Maino shit
Throw everything at you but the kitchen sink till I plug you
It's goin' down, I'm on some ole Draino shit (Oh!)
I'm the Rich Po, not so, the flow spells gospel
Book you for a show and turn your hotel to hostel
(It's an invasion!) This ain't Luda, it's more like Shooter
Better yet, Shot Ya, Pac or Big Poppa?

[Hook: Jay-Z sample]
(It's the new!) Best rapper alive, best rapper alive
Best rapper alive, best rapper alive

[Verse 2: Royce da 5'9"]
This ain't Jay, it's more like sprayed
The kind that confuse kindness with polite play
My bitch got two midgets in the bra
And a nose like a vacuum, she live by the Snow White way
Fuck Forbes, fuck money till they put some black heads
In them motherfuckers like they come from pores
Hip-hop is alive, my nigga, come for yours (Yes!)
I got the hood open, attached to jumper cords (Yes!)
Alone in the mirror, rub-a-dub-dub
I ain't the game (I ain't the game)
Even though I don't belong in this era (Green Lantern!)
I'm tryin' to take shit past Nas, Jay, Shady & Dre shit
Shout out to the Doc, I'm tryin' to find patience (Woo!)
Lookin' like I'm pacin', like hello, say hello to me
I elbowed my way into niggas' conversations
I don't write rhymes, I commit death threats
This my new name if you ain't guessed yet!

[Hook: Jay-Z sample]
(It's the new!) Best rapper alive, best rapper alive
Best rapper alive, best rapper alive

[Verse 3: Royce da 5'9"]
Yeah! (Yes) This ain't Fif, it's more like a gift
A bottle of Cris, on side of a sip or a quality lick (Ahh!)
I'm the shit, you try to be sick
I be ridin' with silenced machine guns
While you be tryna be Tip (Ahh!)
I'm still hood, I move, minus the bus pass (Yeah)
Out with the poverty in with the new deluxe pad
This black nina told me I'm a black leader (Uh-huh)
That's why I be preachin' like David Banner
Minus the mustache (Haha)
But I ain't runnin' from nothin' as long as rappers is runnin'
They receive death from a sentence like capital punishment
The flows is mean, I make a nigga lean
Like puttin the word "meth" in between "pro" and "-zine"
Your bitch sprung right after my dick, go fish
I leave her numb like a tongue after a coke kiss (Yeah!)
I'm focused, I spit madness, you niggas is borin'
You at a level orange with your bitch-ass-ness (How?!)
Plots is thickenin' and I care about rappers
Bout as much as I care to see Terrance and Rocski bickerin'
Watch is sickenin', Glocks specifically hot
I'm trippin', is you with me or not?

[Hook: Jay-Z sample]
(It's the new!) Best rapper alive, best rapper alive
Best rapper alive, best rapper alive

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.
