      @@FFeras Obviously you lack the mental capacity to understand the sarcasm in my initial comment. OF COURSE anyone can read the lyrics from Genius. My point was just because you can get the lyrics from anywhere doesn't mean that EVERYONE can understand and decipher them. As a 58 year old music writer and a proponent of hip hop and rap music, I can attest that this young man broke down, deciphered, caught the double and triple entendres and meaning of this song BETTER than EVERYONE that reacted to it. I know because I watched them all. I respect this man for his knowledge and love for the culture. For you to type such a sarcastic dumbass comment is why you where met with my sarcastic comment.

    Hey there! I've never really listened to this particular song all the way through before. The beat didn't quite catch my attention. But after seeing that you've broken it down, I am excited to give it another go! Your enthusiasm is contagious, and I can't wait to hear it in a new light. By the way, here are the lyrics (from Genius, sorry, Knox) in case anyone else likes to follow along:
    [Intro: dEnAun]
    Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah (People)
    Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah (B*tch*s)
    Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah (Animals)
    Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah
    [Verse 1: Royce da 5'9"]
    Bumstickitty, bumstickitty, bum huh
    I got that old rum-pum-pum-pum
    A punk'll jump up to get him a beat down
    At least sound, I sound like these clowns, like he sound
    My flow all over the place, four-four in the waist, I'm so, so innovative
    Po-po in the way, I'll roll over 'em and make bacon
    And call 'em a pig, won't you hop up off of my d*ck?
    Words in the way, I'm at loss by him
    I give you a JFK on the front lawn of MLK in the crossfire (Get down, n*gg*)
    I have evolved into the lost diaries of the mob and the Rothschilds (C'mon)
    I feel like God broke the vials and I am just layin' down inside 'em like caulk and tile (Q-Tip)
    [Chorus: Q-Tip, Royce da 5'9" & dEnAun]
    Man, here we go
    I said that we live in the land of criminal
    My era, my era, my era so original
    Uh-huh, I survived it and that's a miracle, ah, man
    'Cause I'm from Slaughterhouse (People), check yourself
    Like Ice Cube said, "Before you wreck yourself" (B*tch*s)
    Like Wu-Tang said, "You should protect yourself" (Animals)
    I got 'em goin'
    Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah (Get down, n*gg*)
    Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah
    [Verse 2: Black Thought]
    Yo, snappin' necks plus I'm live, in effect
    I'm in the Slick Rick eye patch, but I got it from Hex
    Rappers avoid eye contact, that's outta respect
    For the god in the flesh, the ominous Indominus Rex
    They be like, "You put the Thought on? Yikes"
    If I told y'all once, I told y'all twice, that m*th*rf*ck*r is nice
    I'm the king of the blood sport on mics
    I'm from an era you had beef, y'all prolly fist fought on sight
    Get your *ss beat at the basketball court on spite
    Then tell your wife to put your life support on ice
    I'm the rap Pernell Whitaker, the honorable minister
    Leavin' every amateur inoperable, I finished 'em
    Makin' plaques outta they head like dead venison
    Used to be the bad lieutenant with M-Illitant
    Spillin' over fabulous jams my man Dilla sent
    Rap speak for me, I am the ventriloquist
    I'm so stubborn, the government won't govern
    That brother you spoke of, it just wasn't as dope, was it?
    I'm cold buzzin', I never been low budget
    The taste of your own medicine, here come a dose of it
    I break free like Chesimard
    Keep 'em guessin' hard while broads say my bars is like ASMR
    All my dogs is out the reservoir
    Top five, I'm where the legends are ([Eminem:]Keep goin')
    Live at the edge of darkness and light
    One phone call, my youngins takin' flight
    You a bark b*tch, and never bite, long kiss goodnight
    I stay heated, my people in the place need it
    If you ain't standin' up for yourself, then stay seated
    And they cheated, they lie like Amerigo Vespucci
    I'm a miracle, I'm still super lyrical
    Live from the Terrordome, loud like a megaphone
    Thutmose the Third with seven inch herringbones
    [Chorus: Q-Tip, Royce da 5'9" & dEnAun]
    Man, here we go
    I said that we live in the land of criminal
    My era, my era, my era so original
    Uh-huh, I survived it and that's a miracle, ah, man
    'Cause I'm from Slaughterhouse (People), check yourself
    Like Ice Cube said, "Before you wreck yourself" (B*tch*s)
    Like Wu-Tang said, "You should protect yourself" (Animals)
    I got 'em goin'
    Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah (Get down, n*gg*)
    Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah
    [Verse 3: Eminem]
    Better hope an ambulance is en route
    Papers are hand grenades soon as I pull the pin out
    I am the Santa Fe, Mandalay and Orlando and Colorado and Columbine [why did you have to mention all of these again? isn’t “I’m Back” and “Rap God” enough?]
    All combined into one, I don't walk a line, b*tch, I run
    'Cause we don't got no time to waste, so come on Denaun
    Here come me, 5-to-9 and Thought, da-dun, da-dun
    Then like a shotgun I'm ready to c*ck it on 'em
    Leave these p*ss**s stretched out like the Octomom
    Never had no trouble keepin' up with the times
    I just adapt to the climate, I treat it like my Levi's
    When they ain't buttoned up right, I adjust on the fly
    Middle fingers, put 'em high, that's why they call it a bird
    'Cause you put it up in the sky
    And I'm like a spider crawlin' up your spinal column
    I'm climbin' all up the sides of the asylum wall
    And dive in a pile of Tylenol, you're like a v*g*n* problem
    To a diabolical gynecologist tryna ball a fist, I will
    F*ck you, just buy me, double timing the rhyming
    I leave you stymied, that's why they still vilify me like Bill O'Reilly
    I'ma show you what I mean when they call me the Harvey Weinstein of 2019
    I'm a conniving, when I'm on the mic, I'ma stand out
    Like a lime green wife b**t*r with a knife out
    I'm a sight to see, but you can see from the ring I'm wearing
    Me and this game, we got married already
    Had the prenup ready, f*ck*d on her, should've seen her belly
    She barely was three months pregnant
    B*tch had it, gave me a baby, we named it Machine Gun Kelly
    Now here's to LL, Big L and Del
    K-Solo, Treach, and G Rap
    DJ Polo, Tony D, ODB, Moe Dee, Run-DMC
    Ed O.G., and EPMD, D.O.C., Ice-T, Evil Dee
    King Tee, UTFO, and Schoolly D, PE, and BDP
    YZ and Chi-Ali, Rakim and Eric B., they were like my therapy
    From B.I.G. and Paris, Three Times Dope, and some we'll never see, and PRT
    N.W.A and Eazy-E, and D-R-E was like my GPS
    Without him, I don't know where I'd be
    [Chorus: Q-Tip, Royce da 5'9" & dEnAun]
    Man, here we go
    I said that we live in the land of criminal
    My era, my era, my era so original
    Uh-huh, I survived it and that's a miracle, ah, man
    'Cause I'm from Slaughterhouse (People), check yourself
    Like Ice Cube said, "Before you wreck yourself" (B*tch*s)
    Like Wu-Tang said, "You should protect yourself" (Animals)
