Need to hear louder!
Need to hear louder!
Need to hear louder!
Need to hear louder!
Get them up,
Get them off,
Get a handle!
Get a grip,
Get ammo!
It's the return of Kamb,
A hit for a hit's trick,
Busting it's candle.
Anywhere can't do anything,
And I chewed, I sticked to gets me this candle.
Be in this with, and these candles's been lit,
And this handle, Eminem thinks this kid's
Sick and dismantled.
To the trip to Atlanta,
Put my feet in Alabama,
For me to be another channel,
For you, to serve things scrambled.
Tough, my nigger, I had to bust so much fire that my dick's
A blowing candle.
Sits on plastic, so much death
That my last thing should have been dandles.
Can't, and I'm standing on this fucking stage,
I came from the bottom of the bottle to the top here.
I'm talking Himalaya, bitch look at me now,
Shady from a yellow fine boat,
Pow, crank it,
I need to hear it louder!
Need to hear it louder!
Need to hear it louder!
Need to hear it louder!
My accent's no accident,
My track list has got classics.
I'm a window, I'm acting,
Yeah, pick it up, you!
They told me that I wouldn't do shit
And that I wouldn't make it.
I just smiled and grabbed my noise,
Fuck 'em! Sometime you (need to hear!)
'cause when you realize I'm a doubling one debt
You're gonna fuck up what I get.
I never look back and I toll
My tail back everywhere I go to.
I was kicked down and kicked again,
'till I was kicking in every lock there is
Dropped my fans, try to hold me back,
So I can hit the road and rock again.
And there they are and I'm standing on this fucking stage,
I'm talking Himalaya, bitch look at me now,
Shady from a yellow fine boat,
Pow, crank it,
I need to hear it louder!
Need to hear it louder!
Need to hear it louder!
Need to hear it louder!
Instead with some girls fresh,
That band's gotta go, friend,
That ride got a cobra.
Come a text and ...
This bubba's just like I'm stooping.
Motherfucker ain't a fuck, shit,
Jerry, I wiz lighter,
Like a motherfucking caca
Shady record used to ride,
Nigger that's an encore.
I gonna make it with my mamma.
I made it.
(I'm playing with my mamma)
I need to hear it louder!
Need to hear it louder!
Need to hear it louder!
Need to hear it louder!
