[Verse 1]
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
Lifes short, so I aim – I aint waiting for life to start betraying em
~#**************#~
Its twice as hard to get a job thats paying em
~#**************#~
So I aint paying attention to what youre saying
~#**************#~
Raindrops keep falling on my brain
~#**************#~
‘Cause Im in the drop on flames
~#**************#~
Im so hot even if the weather change
~#**************#~
I dont have no top, Im insane
~#**************#~
‘Member dark-skinned Jermaine, “suede in the rain”?
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
‘Cept Im no lame, and you gonna know my name
~#**************#~
Before I go, the world gon feel my pain
~#**************#~
They saying Im a bad guy – whys that?
~#**************#~
‘Cause when my backs against the wall, nigga, I react
~#**************#~
Secretly though, I know you admire that
~#**************#~
You wish you had the balls to fire back – brrrap!
~#**************#~
Say hello, uhh uh, hello, uhh uh

You wish you had the balls to fire back – brrap!
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
Look around, this aint what ordinary gets ya (IT AINT!)
~#**************#~
Extraordinary figures (Damn)
~#**************#~
Im an extraordinary nigga
~#**************#~
Before my name became Jigga
~#**************#~
Before I sang, I had that thang on slippers
~#**************#~
Cant complain bout what they aint gon give ya
~#**************#~
That aint gon get ya shit, might as well give up
~#**************#~
“Or get up, get out, and get something, nigga”
~#**************#~
Get a job, my nigga, or get to dumping
~#**************#~
Only God can judge him, only He without sin
~#**************#~
Tell me if my means–justify my ends
~#**************#~
‘Til then, Im just gon fly in the Benz
~#**************#~
Wire my friends through Western Union
~#**************#~
Shhhhh, supplys in
~#**************#~
My system knocking, here comes the bad guy again
~#**************#~
Say hello, uhh uh, hello, uhh uh

[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
Let me tell you what I aint –
~#**************#~
We aint thugs for the sake of just being thugs
~#**************#~
Nobody do that where we grew at – nigga, duh
~#**************#~
The poverty line we not above
~#**************#~
So out comes the mask and gloves, cause we aint feeling the love
~#**************#~
We aint doin crime for the sake of doing crimes
~#**************#~
We movin dimes cause we aint doing fine
~#**************#~
One out of three of us is locked up, doing time
~#**************#~
You know what this type of shit can do to a nigga mind?
~#**************#~
“My mind on my money, money on my mind”
~#**************#~
If you owe me ten dollars, you aint giving me nine
~#**************#~
Yall aint give me forty acres and a mule
~#**************#~
So I got my Glock 40, now Im cool
~#**************#~
And if Al Sharpton is speaking for me –
~#**************#~
Somebody give him the word and tell him I dont approve
~#**************#~
Tell him Ill remove the curses
~#**************#~
If you tell me our schools gon be perfect
~#**************#~
When Jena Six dont exist
~#**************#~
Tell him thats when Ill stop saying “bitch,” – BITCH!
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Say hello to the bad guy (Hello), they say Im a bad guy
~#**************#~
I come from the bottom, but now Im mad fly (Say hello)
~#**************#~
They say Im a menace (Hello) – thats the picture they paint
~#**************#~
They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I aint (Say hello)
~#**************#~
They say Im a bad guy (Hello), say hi to the bad guy
~#**************#~
I come from the bottom, but now Im mad fly (Say hello)
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
Ay (Say hello) ay, ay, ay
