[Intro]
Yeah (Statik Selektah)
Royce Da 5'9"
Statik Selektah, my nigga Preme
This is the Bar Exam
Gorilla pimp nigga

[Verse]
If you ain't callin' me king, fuck it the mayor will
You think you fly then you about as high as a ferris wheel
You not dope, you like soap, I'm like coke
It's like comparing Clearasil to Seroquel
But there is still too many things to name 'em all
We ain't the same, you niggas is dames in trainin' bras
I get brain from bitches with big tits
You got a dick with shit stains, I hits the hangy ball
That's the deep throat for niggas that don't get it
They so hopeless, bet they can only blow smokin'
No jokin', I'm chrome kitted, whenever you see me ridin'
Unless I'm in Hollywood, gold spoken
My shit kicks the loudest, my chick's kicks is Prada
The big body Benz is sick, kicks is Bravis
Switch out and tell the Impala, to sit high as a big dick toddler
Bitch, get dollars, I don't kick knowledge, I quit college for hip hop
If I get violent, you probably should kick rocks
Verbally vivid, lyrically clear
Snitches shouldn't be murdered
They should just be livin' in fear
They should just be raped, no homo
My professional hit mens will merk for me and they work pro bono
New engine, too sickin'
Me and web, got the hood up on the block watchin' the new Pistons

[Outro]
Shout out to my nigga Will
This is the Bar Exam niggas
Hip hop is alive
Royce just got out of jail
Holla at ya'

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.
