The Baddest (feat. Diddy)

You ain't know I could play the piano, did you ****?

Can you say New York City?

Now as we proceed

To give you what you need (Bad boy)

Ladies and gentleman

And I say New York City

I would like to introduce to you

You know it's a vibe

He is

Said he's the baddest motherfucka in town

I could take five years off 'cause my shit is timeless

My core got my back so I'm standing on my promise

Theses **** only backed by they labels, they all spineless

I'm backed by popular demand and on that timing

I popped out 2012, y'all wasn't outside then

Ten years later, tell me why y'all still hiding?

**** know who greater, fuck your favorite, I'm the greatest

They never could degrade us and I did it with no major

I made a lane for **** by going my own way

I paved the way for a lot of these rappers you see today

So act like you know, bitch, I been had the flow, penetrating souls

Who the best MC's?

Kenny, Joey and Cole, the holy trinity

This that '95 Till Infinity energy

Knowing when I'm gone, they'll forever remember me

So show me love while I'm still in the vicinity

And show no sympathy for **** who be moving finicky

Ooh, and I like it

I like it (Can you say New York City?)

Ooh, and I like it

Oh, baby (Can you say New York City?)

Ooh, and I like it

I like it (Can you say New York City?)

Ooh, and I like it

It's been a minute and I still kick a style with no gimmicks

Took some time off, now we back in this

What you **** thought I was finished?

I'm offended, I'm just getting replenished, MCs getting diminished when I'm in attendance

Get finished like a sentence, period

Never is my light dimming

My shine is serious, a born star

These other **** ain't on par

Who want spar? I got war scars

Two ARs and four scars

Nine on my waist like a corsage, 'cause I talk large

These small town **** ain't trying to see us gone far

Word to Khaled, yo, they hate to see you winning

They wanna see your life ending

Lights out, striking out in my ninth inning

Wiped out, they wonder how I just stay grinning

'Cause we came a long way since the beginning

Everything iced out, that's just how I'm living

(Bad boy)

Ooh, and I like it

I like it (Can you say New York City?)

Ooh, and I like it

Oh, baby (Can you say New York City?)

Ooh, and I like it

I like it (Can you say New York City?)

Ooh, and I like it

(Can you say?)

Come on, the baddest stay down always from beginning to end, you know what I'm saying?

Just get back to who we are, you know what I'm saying?

Like the baddest

Take that
