There's a big difference between advantage and the vanquish (Big difference)
The [?] and the Murciélago (Yup)

Paid a hundred grand for a chain that cost ninety (Yep)
And let 'em keep the change, it is what it is ([?] dog)
In e'ry song n***as doin' the work (Uh-huh)
Talkin' 'bout a million n***as that they willin' to murk (Come on, man)

Yo, if you a skinny woman than that's thorough
But if you a big woman I got ya back, girl (I got you)
Fuck all them n***as that consider you fat, girl (Yeah)
You ain't gotta lose weight, it is what it is
All I'm making is more hits ([?])
But I was drunk when I came into the booth to record this (Haha)
Swizz said, "Cass, you gotta think of the chorus"
But they don't need no hook, it is what it is
[?] my worse verse hot as your best rhyme, damn
I can't think of the next line
But fuck it, I'll remember it next time
'Cause I'm pressed for time, it is what it is
These fake n***as are straight front' (Uh-huh)
I did two county bids but ain't been upstate once (Yeah)
And for a murder charge I only did eight months (That's crazy)
My lawyer the truth, it is what it is (Uh-huh)
You ain't gotta like it but you gotta respect it (Uh-huh)
There's things that happened in the past I'm upset wit' (Uh-huh)

We all make mistakes, it is what it is (Okay, let's go)
The government don't do shit for you (No)
But it send you to war, man, they tryna destroy you (Yeah)
The President just tryna get the oil
He worse than Saddam, it is what it is
Ayo, Cass, before you beat your case, man
There was a lot of people out there that counted you out (Woo)
But one thing I can say is the industry definitely
Definitely held you down, man, it is what it is
They should put my picture next to the definition of hip-hop
But I ain't gettin' the recognition from disc jocks
Even some of the best admittin' that my shit hot
Besides Nas, I'm the best that did it since Big Pop'
N***as ain't want it with Pun, he did it big [?]
Pac was one of the best, so give that kid props
Rakim and G Rap, them n***as all that
If you ain't LL or that n***a Jigga then fall back
I'm true to this, I ain't new to this, I do this shit
You ain't Snoop, Kiss or Ludacris then you get dissed
This Cass, I don't care if you n***as mad
If you ain't my n***a Fab I'll get in that ass
You ain't X or SP don't test me
If you ain't Nelly or Joe Crack you no [?]
If you ain't Nore or Sheek Louch you weak dude
If he ain't Busta, [?] then he wack
If he ain't Wayne or [?] they shit soft
She ain't Eve [?] Lil Kim the chick's off
I been fuckin' wit' J.D. since Kris Kross
Except [?] Chris, T.I.P. and Rick Ross
[?] n***a [?] and Outkast
[?] Dipset and Bone Thugs get shown love
A lotta n***as talk greasy in they rhymes
But if you ain't Jeezy or Raekwon then stay calm
'Cause the role n***as playin' is fake
You ain't Game or Kanye, start playin' it safe
Anything I say now I'll say in your face
So that's that, stay in your place, it is what it is (Yeah)
