## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro]

*Yeah, Revenge!*

*Now what we gonna do right now, a-ha! uh*

*Is gonna try a little experiment, just a little experiment*

*You know what I'm saying? A little "science project"*

*You know what I'm saying? I like to call it*

[Verse 1]

(Switch!) You you you, yes let the words woo you

Till you woozy, let the lyrics subdue you

Massage and soothe you, move you, till conscience lose you

Lu now rules you, do what Lu do and you'll do beautiful

(Switch!) I'm the meanest! You the meanest?

I'm the meanest, and I mean this

Now I don't mean this to sound fiendish

But I'm a genius, you a genius?

And the cleanest, never seen this

As clean as my cleanest

From on top, from underneath

From behind, or in between us

(Switch!) I'm a hustler, creeping with my hat low

N\*\*\*as know I pack, so, what they gonna do that for?

N\*\*\*as got my back, though, like answering the back door

Catch you, I'ma slap you, leave you redder than the Batphone

(Switch!) With a little bit of this and a little bit of that

That, mixed with a little bit of pimp and a little bit of mack

And a little bit of limp, and a whole lotta gangsta lean

I can't be seen, I ain't the King

But a n\*\*\*a is strengthening to paint the scene

And take the thing over like a soldier, colder than a polar

Got the hood like a cobra, n\*\*\*a thank the team (Switch!)

[Hook]

Switch, n\*\*\*a, this is how I got it

I switch like hydraulic cars

Switch like DeBarge, n\*\*\*a (Switch!)

[Interlude]

Aight, now remember that

That's a, that was a part of the experiment

I had to set it up, so, so, don't worry

I know what you're thinking, I was thinking the same thing

Just, just follow me, okay? Watch, okay? Come on now

[Verse 2]

Murder n\*\*\*as, step on my shoes, I hurt a n\*\*\*a

Kill a n\*\*\*a, fill a n\*\*\*a with holes, call women hoes

Hold up n\*\*\*as, hold up hoes, break the calm, detonate bombs

Blow up n\*\*\*as, blow up hoes, turn around, smack they moms

(Switch!) Heal n\*\*\*as, educate and build n\*\*\*as

Instill in n\*\*\*as, it’s real to respect women

Treat 'em like they real, they feel, n\*\*\*a, watch the words

Watch Dr. Phil, n\*\*\*a, chill, n\*\*\*a, go learn a skill, n\*\*\*a

(Switch!) Rims, Mercedes Benz, twenties, twenty-twos

Twenty-fours, rose gold, platinum watches, cases of Mo'

Gucci, rubies, mansions, models, VIP, Ferraris

Chinchillas, diamond rings, change, Range Rovers, bling bling

(Switch!) N\*\*\*as bust his trains, pocket full of change

Dimes, quarters, taking orders, delivering pizzas

Air conditionless, beaters, hand-me-down sneakers, silver

Wannabe models won't show me love and I can't get in the club

(Switch!)

[Interlude]

Ha, it's getting good right?

Yeah, aight, so check this out

Now go back to the first one, aight? Run back to that one

We're going to have a little bit more fun with that one, aight?

You ready? Aight, come on

[Verse 3]

(Switch!) Hey hey hey, it's coming back to you

Lu no longer rules you, you can do what you do

Back to your usual

(Switch!) It's official, it's official, I'm official

As officials, got the stripes

And the flags, and the whistles

(Switch!)And watch my n\*\*\*as come from the underground

Just like Thriller, play Bambi and you gon' hear that Thumper sound

(Switch!) They can't touch the sound that I'm busting now

It's like a cloud tryna touch the ground

Tough and bound, ever since we're touching down

Jealous n\*\*\*as catch your feelings 'cause I'm hustling now, what?

(Switch!) They be hating (Switch!) They be hating?

(Switch!) What? What? What? They be hating

Don't give them stage then

(Switch!) What's a n\*\*\*a s'posed to tell 'em

When they up in my face then?

(Switch!)That you got a cousin that don't mind catching cases

Busting n\*\*\*as' heads and slapping n\*\*\*as' faces

(Switch!)And he-a do it, he-a do it

He-a do it, and I'll prove it

'Cause I done seen it, you done seen it?

I done seen it, he the meanest

(Switch!) Ho-ho-ho, wait, I mean it

I thought you were the meanest

See? That's why this thing is fiendish, right now

(Switch!)

[Hook]

Switch, n\*\*\*a, this is how I got it

I switch like hydraulic cars

Switch like DeBarge, n\*\*\*a (Switch!)

[Outro]

*Yeah, experiment done*

*I think that was a goody, I think that was a good experiment*

*I think that was nice, it's a nice little science project*

*Haha! Revenge!*

*Shoutouts to my homies at Asylum, what up? Yeah*
