**Lyrics**
[Intro]

Fuck with me

Thank you

Yeah (Come on), yeah, yeah (Come on)

You know me, man, yeah (Come on), yeah (Come on)

Alright, hahaha

Oh, Fee, I got 'em, boy

Weezy Baby (C2, yeah)

Weezy Baby (Three)

You can't see me

But I see you (Yeah)

And I see you (Yeah)

Lord

I, I, I got 'em

[Verse 1]

Bring the crowd in, I'm loud in living color

It is Weezy Fuckin' Baby, got these rappers in my stomach

Yummy, I'm taking it, I ain't askin' them for nothing

If you sell a million records, we could battle for your money

I'd rather count a hundred thousand dollars on a Sunday

Watch a football game and bet it all on one play

Still stuntin', baby, yes, I'm still flossin'

Latest car on the market with the top peeled off it

Big wheels make it look a little bulky

You look a little salty, have yourself a chilled coffee

Chill out, the guns is still out

Even though I am a boss and got papers to fill out

I'm busy, I got paper to reel in

God, I hope they snappin' at the end of my rod

I hope I'm fishin' in the right pond

And I hope you catchin' on to every line, who am I?

[Chorus]

The best rapper alive (Huh, yep), the best rapper alive (Huh, yep)

The best rapper alive (Huh, yep), the best rapper alive (Huh)

Swagger right, check (Uh), game tight

And they gon' R-E-S-P-E-C-T me (Who?)

The best rapper alive (Huh, yep), the best rapper alive (Huh, yep)

The best rapper alive (Huh, yep), the best rapper alive (Huh)

Swagger right, check (Uh), game tight

And you should be afraid, be very afraid (Yeah), yeah

[Verse 2]

The heart of New Orleans, thumpin' and beatin'

Livin' and breathin', stealin' and feedin'

Peelin' and leavin', killin' and grievin'

Dearly departed, erased, deleted

No 'prints, no plates, no face, no trace

Out of sight, out of mind, no court, no case

Sell his chain, celebrate, block party, second line

Zulu Ball, Essence Fest, Jazz Fest, Mardi Gras

Shotty bounce, body rock, now he dropped, now he got

Family try tell the feds, tell the cops

Smell a rat comin' back to the house, to the spot

Tap-tap, knock-knock, who is that? Chk-pow

Triggaman, hoodie man, tell the kids Boogieman

Pistol Pete, Ammo Mammal, gunman, blum-blam (Haha)

Damn, Sammy, you done fucked up

Pussy-ass n\*\*\*as, put your nuts up, just call me

[Chorus]

The best rapper alive (Huh, yep), the best rapper alive (Huh, yep)

The best rapper alive (Huh, yep), the best rapper alive (Huh)

Swagger right, check (Uh), game tight

And they gon' R-E-S-P-E-C-T me (Who?)

The best rapper alive (Huh, yep), the best rapper alive (Huh, yep)

The best rapper alive (Huh, yep), the best rapper alive (Huh)

Swagger right, check (Uh), game tight

And you should be afraid, be very afraid, yeah

[Verse 3]

Fuck up with all these rookie MCs?

Whew, smell like a bunch of pussy to me

Fuck 'em, fuck 'em good, fuck 'em long

Fuck 'em hard, fuck who? Fuck 'em all

Yeah, like that, just like that, right back

I'm on that money train and that MAC'll knock 'em off track

The quarterback, well-protected from the Warren Sapp

The young heart attack, I spit that cardiac

You can't see me, baby boy, you got that cataracts

I'm right here, straight out the hood just like an alley cat

Since everyone's a king, well, where the fuck your palace at?

Me? I got callous on my hands, I can handle that

It's no problem, baby, I so got 'em

It's just a victory lap, baby, I'm just joggin'

Yeah, and I ain't even out of breath

The motherfuckin' best yet, sorry for cussin' (Who?)

[Chorus]

The best rapper alive (Huh, yep), the best rapper alive (Huh, yep)

The best rapper alive (Huh, yep), the best rapper alive (Huh)

Swagger right, check (Uh), game tight

And they gon' R-E-S-P-E-C-T me (Who?)

The best rapper alive (Huh, yep), the best rapper alive (Huh, yep)

The best rapper alive (Huh, yep), the best rapper alive (Huh)

Swagger right, check (Uh), game tight

And you should be afraid, be very afraid, yeah
