2008 BET Hip Hop Awards - Cypher 3 Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ace Hood]
No one on the corner has swagger like this
Cause I'm so incredible they not compatible to me
Eat 'em up like I was Hannibal, they cattle to a beast
Graduated from the hunger, now it's rappers that I feast
And I'm coming for each and every one of you that said I couldn't do
Now I'm swiggity-swagging on you bums doin' this interview
Call it an interlude, talking to you inner fools
Got nominated, I know they hate it, they sick of dude
But if you sick of new, I feed the lames a Theraflu
Get em man and buy a coupe and drop the roof, adjust the cruise
Show them what the swagger do, it's on the highest altitude
They can't fit my sneaker-shoes, the best-rapper attitude
See the young'un' in the zone the beat
You see, the features on my faces I can't erase
Because my swagger so amazing, homes
Catch me at the top the throne with BIG, Jay and Pac alone
Balling like I'm Karl Malone, the next best is on!

[Verse 2: Juelz Santana]
Uh, uh, uh, uh
There's only two men I fear when it comes to a battle: God and my shadow
Everybody else get unraveled, tangled
Mangled, totally disabled
Hung from a roof, watch 'em dangle
Then I make your wife feel the pain too, anal
Juelz Santana, forget those busters
The boy flow harder than Kimbo's punches
You boys better step aside 'fore I get at guys
You just bugs I'm spittin' that p-pesticide
Your not mobsters, wait stop the fake
Or get found dead with your head in that pasta plate
Money in the bank, I benefit from my benefits
I'm making it while I'm spending it
You go to the Louis store, you go to the Gucci store
You go to the mall, spend it all, what he do that for?
You could buy the rags, you could buy the bags
But there ain't no sign that say they sell swag

But you could watch me and do your best imitation
You need a little time, a little preparation
But sooner or later, you're gonna have to face it
I'm like the penthouse, you a fixed-up basement
As far a chicks go, I get, it you take it
I give 'em all Franks, they call me Nathan's
[Verse 3: Fabolous]
Lyrically it don't matter, up-and-comer or a has be
I'm in your ass B who’s the next Raz-B
Wordplay king I'm not the one to Scrabble with
The rocks got more carats in it than rabbit shit
And after these ill lines, you might see why lie, I need a deal signs
Cause everybody coming in this year is failing
Ask why and they just play Sarah Palin
I'd rather be in Maui para sailing
Cause when you in the lead you don't care who’s trailing
So get your little money you isn’t a threat
When we was making it rain you wasn’t drizzling yet
Right Meech? Death before dishonor
Their swaggers like mine cause I left it on the corner
So fly I gotta shop at the Sky mall
And this summer we getting more drops than eyeballs
Loso!

[Verse 4: Jadakiss]
I told you this once Hip Hop is not dead
Change gon' come, just like Barack said

"Money, Power, Respect" like The Lox said
"You'll be the man of the house", my pops said
Heat the streets up, right quick it's all timing
Gucci everything, Sierra Leone diamonds
You could know so much yet but know nothing
If I don't know nothing else, bet I know hustling

This ain't even a rhyme, it's a controlled substance
Strictly iron swinging, no tussling
I just do business I don't do friends
Brand new M1's and 9mm's
As long as money's involved with it I'm in
You ain't gotta second guess the best, I'm him
I will rap circles around these new Urkels
Everything is digital, pills are still purple
So I'm staying in my lane 'til it open up
I'm like a sponge in the game just soaking up
Log on, I deserve a hit, I know you heard of Kiss
This is the cypher, I murdered it!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
