Done shotta lotta folk

In and outta court

And I done seen
So many cowards croak

It's like
Watching flowers grow

I mean please
Don't you cowards know?

We will leave your bloody body on your momma's porch

Lord

I don't have a lot to say except this is one of my favorite verses. The main reason is that the first time I heard this song I couldn't help but think of the Scatman original, and when Wayne said he will leave your bloody body on your momma's porch, there was no going back. I think that moment helped me understand how and why Wayne ends up killing any beat that comes his way. Scatman is still a classic, but when I hear it these days I just imagine that his version would have been way better if he also had a lotta dope and left bodies behind him.
