The Cow - Westside Gunn

You know, it’s good to let your anger out

And let love in, ha ha, and, uh

Heh ha ha ha ha ha, ha, ah heh, heh

I think it’s good to, that if you can put anger on a picture

Instead of smacking someone in the face, it’s a lot safer

Griselda

Roll the Swisher, get high, free the homies behind the wall

Free my niggas inside, all them niggas that died

Rest in peace to my niggas, I hope they live in the sky

Pour out some liquor, load your fifth up for your niggas and ride

For your niggas that got hit bad and didn’t survive

Sometimes I feel like, I’m the realest nigga alive

Since we was kicking doors, four niggas divvying pie

They ain’t believe me when I told niggas the city was mines

Now look at me though, Buffalo nigga

But did records with Kool G though, necklace is two kilos

Remember when the Feds gave fifteen to cousin Tito

Me and Papp was right there, he took it like a G though

That’s a real nigga, that’s a fact

When I came home from doing two, he gave me a half ounce and a rack

And said, «You don’t owe me shit, just put the city on the map»

That was eleven years ago and now I’m doing just that

Ask my baby momma how much I cried when Machine Gun died

When I pulled up and seen that yellow tape outside

Had me ready to grab the stick and go apes outside

I never found out who did it, that shit ate my pride, I swear

Heh, but maybe that was a sign

Maybe God ain’t want me killing them niggas and doing time

Maybe God wanted me here to kill 'em with the rhyme

Maybe that was part of his plan and part of the design

I don’t know, I’m not religious, all I know is I’m viciously gifted

When I script and then it’s strictly for my niggas (woo!)

I might shed a tear listening to this shit

Pop the Spade cork like, «Machine Gun, we did it»

Damn, who would’ve known my crew would’ve blown?

Every verse is verse of the year, shit is proven and shown

I needed West and Daringer, I couldn’t do it alone

'Member that fuck nigga pulled up using his chrome

Hit the back of my head and neck, I should’ve died, nigga

I feel like my nigga Dunce kept me alive, nigga

Slapping my face like, «Bruh, open your eyes, nigga»

Shaking my head like, «Fuck that, you can’t die, nigga»

Only real shit what I provide, nigga

I wrote this shit with the tears in my eyes, nigga

Now they gotta consider me top five, nigga

You hearing my shit, is you surprised, nigga?

You know what’s funny, I wanted to quit

After I got shot in my head, I seen my face like, «I'm done with this shit»

(It's over)

Trying to spit my verses and mumbling and shit

Face twisted up looking ugly and shit

That Bell’s Palsy had me looking like I had a stroke

But every bar raw like a slab of coke

And them same niggas that laugh and joke

Is doing bad and broke, and everything I drop is classic, dope

This the realest shit in my pad I wrote

This the realest shit that I wrote

Ayo, pulled the MAC out the Stone Island

Dope piling, my nigga doing fifty in the mountains

Posing in Gosha, I do it for the culture

Mastermind, braggadocious

You all soda, we in the kitchen like vultures

Bucket hat gator on the coaster

Big ass Ace need two bitches to pour it

Hopped in a four door 'Gatti and floored it

A nigga gorgeous, rice pilaf and swordfish

This Warhol portraits been more sick

Stella McCartney feeling me, pardon me

The brass get drenched, draggin' on the marble, I’m awful

Stash cracks in his mouth, he had a jaw full

Jazz Just Dons in the mosque

In the cell, prayer rugs for the lost

These niggas wanna hang me on the cross

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar

Walking over water, I can touch the stars

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar

I know that the kids beneath me

They’re visionaries, before their time

I don’t revolt against anything

The only thing that I work against is the fact

That no one told me that I could do this as a job

So the rest of my career is like, showing kids

Like, yeah, you can do it too, like, there is no wall

You know, it’s a generation of us

And I think, the one thing that brings us together

Is that we just want to push culture forward
