[Verse]
Nigga, they call me El Presidente, top brash
Nigga 'cause I spaz, plus I got cash
Plus I pop tags, I got the cops mad
'Cause I'm sick and the Glock got the hot flash
You ain't go no arms, then how can you try to reach me
Being I'm the bomb, I'm probably out of your reach then
Seeing I'm the song that y'all will probably repeat when
Me and microphones is rocking the kind to beast it
My and my cajones can drop and try to keep shit
Locked in the streets with bitches that trying to key shit
Nickel been a beast since niggas was popping peace shit
Wearing polka-dots and rocking Islamic pieces
Why should I compete then? We're living to die
Compare me to a disease, who's sicker than I?
I can tell if he new to the league or if he a star
I developed the unit in G's like 50 and Sha

[Hook]
M.I.C
We run Detroit
Royce 5'9"
I run Detroit

[Outro: Statik Selektah]
Big shoutout to the whole Showoff crew

Royce da 5'9"

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.
