[Rap sample:] Fun!
[Thes One, double-tracked and syncopated):]
We qualified, rectified, rocking 'til the day we die
Every time you scream and cry, we'll be there with no denying
Qualified, rectified, rocking 'til the day we die
Every time you scream and cry, we'll be there with no denying, yeah
[Thes One sample:] Yo, we back on the scene
[Double K sample:] Motherfucking hardest working group in show biz
[Double K sample:] It's the cool that you know
[Thes One sample:] Everybody know we got it
[Thes One sample:] The two-man band
[Thes One sample:] Made in the West…
[Rap sample:] Like this!
[Double K:] Step up, nigga…
[Thes One:]
It's like "blah blah blah," you know the name
Non-stop props to international acclaim
L.A. is the place we claim, known gang home
You see us in the streets like a CalTrans kid on
The rhy-dum, stoned to the bi-done, my brother
You got a lotta records? ([Rap sample:] Hmm, I got 'em!)
Hey, I stay digging like a bad dog from the pound
Same shit, same yard, but I'm breaking new ground
I put the potholes in your lawn
There's way too many rappers, we can't all get along
Downloaded your new song, it wasn't worth a bit
So I deleted the beat and re-readed the raw shit
That I wrote, and I quote, just last year
We made six figures, and we drank a lot of beer
So how is that underground? It really doesn't matter (nope!)
No one left in L.A., our catalog's getting fatter, like…

[Double K:] Take it easy, run
[Double K:]
Keep the cheeba burning, mind on my money-earning
The homie known to keep their heads turning
I'm at the peak of my high hand like a visor
Looking down, getting ready for the size-up
I'm catching game, double up on the contact
Let 'em know I'm coming, have a stage and I rock that
People in the nosebleed, give me room, please
All over the place like a young James Brown
For one night only, incredible in your town
Take a picture, put it in your will, I keep you above ground
Cuz freshest forever, I get better with time
Every rhyme I spit is equivalent to getting hit with a rape charge
Devastating you niggas is like DeBarge, I kick ass and take names (wah!)
Looking for the fame and money, you niggas act funny!
[Double K & Thes One syncopated):]
Yeah, we qualified, rectified, rocking 'til the day we die
([Rap sample:] Like this!)
Every time you scream and cry, we'll be there with no denying

Every time you scream and cry, we'll be there with no denying
[Double K:] We qualified…
[Pamoja sample:] Oooh, baby!
[Thes One:] We'll be there!
[Double K:] They rocking 'til the day we die…
Rectified, rocking 'til the…
And every time you scream and cry
We'll be there with no denying!
([Rap sample:] Like this!)
[Spoken sample:] If you wanna have some fun… (x3)
[Sung sample:] Get down!
[Spoken sample:] We interrupt this funk for this bulletin!
