Lyrics
Oh no, okay, you don't say
I rewrote the code that's controlling the whole game
Wanna start shit, dissing me? No way
My triangle button's been missing, I don't play
So you can put it in sleep mode
Synonymous rhymin' like an army of cheat codes
Kathy Bates misery of the peoples
Do it without changing out of my street clothes
