Dymes verse was originally used for in a freestyle over the Kanye produced beat “Paid The Price”. The original version was a lot more faster in tempo and had edited footage of Kanye in the studio making it look like Dymes was with him.
[Intro]
Niggas can't hold the torch so I pass it
Niggas can't hold the torch so I pass it
Niggas goin' nowhere fast
Dyme-A
[Verse 1]
Uh
You seen me since STEEZY was trading dunks, damn
Way before Yeezy jumped over Jump Man
Proceeded to leave me out of the stunts
You see me & duck
Beef with elite emcees and you fucked, fam
You knew me since dollar vans and the bus, fam
You thought you left Donnovan in the dust
Counted out, level from runner up to runnin' it up, fam
3rd eye covered and blind, scrub out the crust, fam
Copying the swank, save some for me
Godfather so I'm stuntin' on my sons and seeds
Its cap when thеy say they love the STEEZ
Niggas capitalizе
A rappers demise, its facts & you liars
No swag
Never been fresh
You never been fly
You seem stressed
Blue off your J's, red in your eyes
What the fuck, your money getting to your head or your high?
For you to ever think I'll settle before sending the fire
I'm deadin' it
Treatin' Montage like my therapist
Flow fentanyl, this a different kind of medicine
Delegated, setting records straight & setting precedents
Improving all the principals
Impeaching all the Presidents
These niggas really think they left me
White trash
Runnin' with black swag, El' Presly
2013 I used to wanna be a freshman
Prints ain't fresh with a cover full of Jeffery's
I'll explain it if you let me
Come creative as an emcee
Pen game impress your empress
Got your lady on the text
Mixin' art & hip hop like Mos Def & Setfree
Summers mine told 'em a duzin times
Pressed to push me
None of you pussies could ever fuck with Dymes
Quit the snortin' and sniffin' and spit some fuckin' lines
Coast was the best
It went west cause these fuckin' cons
(Niggas can't hold the torch so I pass it)
(Niggas can't hold the torch so I pass it)
(Niggas goin' nowhere fast)
[Verse 2: Eli Mcfly]
I'm sor- I'm sorry if I didn't say shit
I be in my head and you know these bitches is flagrant
They gon' show me hate even when a nigga embrace 'em
I be rollin' jay after jay and yeah I face 'em
??? out of my patience
??? breaking my concentration
When I'm steppin' out on 'em bet that I'm money chasin'
When I'm steppin' out on 'em bet that I'm money chasin'
Cuz I
Be movin' it fast, doin' the dash, get to the cash
Sit on your ass, tryna relax, I'm in the back
Rollin' a fat, niggas be ass, see that they lack
I'm on the dash, flickin' my ash, whippin' it past
Switch it's a wrap, this just a fact, gotta attack
I was young, in the cut, watchin' the mac
Fuck goin' out like a simp, I can't do that
Set, what the fuck you think? Hand on a rack
(Niggas goin' nowhere fast)
(Niggas goin' nowhere fast)
(Niggas goin' nowhere fast)
(Niggas goin' nowhere fast)
[Outro: Riley Freeman]
"You are a bitch nigga. Wait, wait wait. Hold up, hold up, hold up. Dear... you are a bitch ASS nigga. I heard that the mall is hiring extra security to protect you. That's a bitch move... I'm coming for that ass again until you pay what you owe."
