Been a starving artist ever since I could remember,
I was in the Southside of Derry with the lepers,
Now they call my ice fire, them some January embers.

Find the house that Ed is in and knock his fuckin’ lights out.

The Losers’ Club, ironic ’cause these losers always lose to me,

Your last song and dance is gonna be with me.

[Verse 3]
I call it meal on wheels, you call it a hearse,

Strapped when I pull up, smoke ’em when I roll up,
Wise like Georgie’s father, I don’t take shit from no one.

Let’s go tit for tat, internet chat, talkin’ this and that,

I heard they been sending tracks and they want me to diss ’em back.

Gotta be at least this tall before you ride off my success.
