ASAP, ASAP, ASAP,
ASAP, ASAP, ASAP.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, you niggas better exit.
ASAP, ASAP, ASAP, ASAP,
A-S-A-P, A-S-A-P.
ASAP, ASAP, ASAP, ASAP,
A-S-A-P, A-S-A-P.
ASAP, ASAP, ASAP, ASAP,
A-S-A-P, A-S-A-P.
As soon as possible: this is the general timeframe of
which I would preferably see all individuals who dislike me to exit.
T.I.
I'm on my grind, grand hustle,
Got the mind and the muscle.
I, Clifford Harris, A.K.A. T.I./T.I.P./The Rubberband
Man, am indeed working vigorously via rapping and making business deals, and I
call this procedure the "grand hustle." I accomplish this by having a superior
combination of intellect and brawn.
50 carats in the crown just to shine on you suckas,
I still tote the Glock 40 for the hatas and the bustas.
My jewelry, which possesses 50 carats (or 10 grams) of
diamonds, undoubtedly makes contact with light and subsequently produces
excessive amounts of light which is visible to my enemies. One can also be sure
to believe that I continue to carry a Glock .40 gun for personal protection in
case someone who does not support me or my activities decides to create
complications for myself.
Fuck probation if a nigga try to play me I'ma bust him,
Ion't need no security, reachin' for my jewelry.
The rules set forth by my probationary period will take
second place if anyone attempts to make a negative impact upon my life, for I
will injure this person severely. Because of this fact, I do not require a
forceful security entourage who would be likely to gain possession of my fine
diamonds.
Get you niggas popped quick, filled full of hot shit,
Fresh out the box T.I.P. hopped in a drop 6.
Such a disrespectful act is sure to make me fire my gun
whilst it is aimed directly at you, which would then leave your body full of
bullets which were heated up during the firing process. In fact, upon my release
from incarceration, I immediately entered a 6-liter convertible vehicle such as
a BMW 645ci, MB SL600, or SL65 AMG.
Made a quarter mil' in the pen' gettin' stock tips,
Haters wanna stop T.I.P., mad 'cause they not T.I.P.
My capitalistic ways did not cease due to my
incarceration; in fact I earned roughly $250,000 while in jail via receiving
stock market suggestions. Those who do not enjoy my actions wish for my demise,
undoubtedly because they are not me.
Ball every summer so your baby mama jock T.I.P.,
You don't know drama pimp, I promise I do not slip.
My actions of being a large scale money-maker and women
monger occur yearly during the months of June, July, and August. This will most
certainly make the bearer of your children be further attracted to me, and
perhaps entice her to be unfaithful to yourself while she's with me. On a
completely different subject, I shall reiterate that my words are not simply
song lyrics, and that I will most certainly backup any threats or demands I make
from here on out.
Chrome 4-5th, hid well if the cops trip.
Bought my girl a Hummer with the chrome right in front of dat,
5 carat stones with the platinum all up under dat.
I own a .45 caliber pistol that's rather difficult to
find by law enforcement officials in case they wish to further investigate my
actions. I purchased
my feminine counterpart a Hummer S.U.V. from the AM General Corporation which
has a chrome grill, and have I previously mentioned that I encompass many fine jewels
amidst my platinum chains?
Rap beef I ain't gonna participate in none of dat,
I'm aimin' at your fitted cap and you ain't gonna know none of dat.
I am familiar with the techniques and methods of rap
feuds, and I have decided against participation. I instead have a firearm
aimed at my enemy's skull, yet they seem completely oblivious to this.
[Hook]
(Asap asap asap...)
A nigga try to play me, I'ma blow him off the map A-S-A-P
Ask anbody who runnin' A-G, bet they finna say me A-S-A-P
Niggaz hatin' on P.S.C. get straightened A-S-A-P
A nigga try to play me, I'ma blow him off the map A-S-A-P
A person of African-American descent who attempts to
take my money, fame, or generally try to insult me or play me will promptly get
displaced from this planetary object. If one were to theoretically query a
random sample of the population as to who controlled Atlanta, Georgia in terms
of wealth, fame, and power, they would undoubtedly answer such a question with
my name -- T.I. Subsequently, anyone else who wishes to insult my rap
group/clique, P$C (the Pimp Squad Clique), will get physically assaulted as well.
T.I.
I know a lotta rappers don't like me, but they won't fight me,
The feds swear I sell dope, well why they won't indict me?
I am fully aware of the fact that many fellow musicians
do not enjoy being in company with me, yet what's most perplexing to me is the
fact that none of these individuals wish to settle such a score by means of
hostile physical confrontations. Still, federal agents are fully convinced that
I spend my spare time selling illegal narcotics. Despite this I have yet to be
formally accused by these law enforcement officials. This is rather confusing as
well.
Advances on the throne, I ain't never takin' lightly,
But all that tongue-wrestlin', hatin' while I'm gone don't excite me.
Mutiny attempts are not tolerated in the least. Other
rappers (presumably Houston rapper Lil Flip, with whom I had a well-publicized
feud) who are content with talking trash
while I am serving a jail term do not interest me in the least, for I have other
issues to concern myself with.
How many rappers you know that could hold they own on Wright St.,
Each state talkin' on the cell phone nightly.
Are you aware of many rap artists who present themselves with sufficient power
to
embark upon such a dangerous street such as Wright St. in Atlanta, GA?
In normal population, half the jail just like me,
Polices think I'm crazy, scared a nigga gon' strike me.
Despite the local law enforcement crew's belief that I
am beyond the normal limits of sanity, I believe that the reality is that a
large majority of the incarcerated individuals are indeed similar to myself.
Contrarily, a nigga tryin' me is unlikely,
They barkin' don't bother me, I'll be bombin' 'for they bite me.
On the other hand, another individual attempting to
commence a quarrel with me is highly unlikely; for they can "talk the talk" but
when it comes to "walking the walk," they will indeed be rapidly defeated.
They just shocked to see my rap's exactly how my life be,
Shiesty, with a conversation quite pricey.
Perhaps this is because these individuals wishing to be confrontational are
surprised to learn that the lyrics I rap are in fact rather similar to my actual
life experiences.
My fist so rocky and my wrist so icey,
Might be, thrown off my rocker just slightly.
My success in the rap world has led to a surplus of
available monetary funds, which in turn has led to purchases of several
diamond-filled rings (leading to a "rocky" fist) and watches (an "icey" wrist).
Fiesty, flamin' hot temper don't ignite me,
I'm only gonna ask ya find the exit once politely.
In case you haven't assumed so thus far, I will
reinforce the fact that I have a very short-fused temper, and one most certainly
should not wish to anger me. In fact, I will only ask you to leave my general
vicinity once with amiability.
[Hook]
T.I.
Flip, say you lookin' at the man of the people,
My plan is to keep you at least 2, levels under me where I need you.
Lil' Flip: you have stated in previous verbal
concoctions that you are the "man of the people." This is not an issue, for my
personal plan is to always have you at a power level well under that of mine.
I'mma take advantage of my chance to defeat you,
Your true colors done shown, now it's on when I see you.
You can be certain that I will take full advantage of
the opportunity to conquer you. Your true self has shown with your unnecessary
insults, and because of this, I plan to commence a physical altercation upon my
next brush with you.
I'm grown nigga, so let it be know we ain't equal,
You sadly mistaken if you thinkin' I can't reach you.
One should also be aware that we are not equivalent on
an array of topics, and you are unfortunately incorrect if you believe I cannot
attack you.
Beat you, to a fuckin' pulp if I need to,
The very spot ya standin' in then is where I'll leave you.
I will indeed assault you to the point of you being
identifiable as only a soft, moist, shapeless mass of matter. I will not even
bother with moving your body to an undisclosed location, as your position at the
start of the fight will be satisfactory.
Seen on the scene white tees and the Evisus,
O.G. status, I don't beef unless I need to.
I can be viewed on the scene with a white T-shirt and
the popular Dope Boy jeans, "Evisus." I in fact have a personal status of being an "original gangster,"
and I will repeat that I do not participate in rap feuds unless absolutely
necessary to preserve my respect.
Sissy you way outta line and you runnin' outta time,
Hatin' behind closed do's when ya heard I got some time.
Your femininity has led to your completely unnecessary
actions of insulting me; however, you are now running out of time before I
confront you in a undoubtedly bloody showdown. Your disrespect only occurred
because you were notified that I was currently serving jail time.
Yeah I know you were thinkin' outta sight and outta mind,
But I'm the wrong one for you to try if you were tryna shine.
I'm positive the only reason you did such a thing was
because you figured the old adage "out of sight, out of mind" applied to this
situation. This could not be further from the truth! I, T.I., am certainly the
incorrect person to disrespect if you are just trying to gain popularity.
Listen nigga this shit here is more than just a lotta rhymes,
I don't know what ya do for your respect, but I'mma die for mine.
Heed to my word, fellow African American: this
situation's principle lies far beyond a few rap lines. I am unaware of what you
go through to gain your respect, but I am fully willing to cease living to
receive mine.
[Hook]
Asap, asap, asap
Asap, asap, asap
Asap... asap, A-S-A-P, A-S-A-P
Asap, asap, asap
Asap, asap, asap
Asap... asap, A-S-A-P, A-S-A-P
As soon as possible...
Editor's
note: T.I. has since amicably
ended his feud with Lil' Flip according to a number of sources. Kudos to
both parties for not "going out like Big and 'Pac."
