Butcher me on the court
Too many elbows to report
Now you're poking me in the eye
Bill Laimbeer, motherfucker, it's time for you to die
Tough guy, it's time to check yourself
Dribbling ball like the Biz can be bad for your health
Tough guy, what you gotta prove?
Moving like an elephant, that's your favourite move
Tough guy, your shit is going out
Box me out with your fat ass
Throw me around like a bounce pass
You've got a tombstone hanging over your dick
You cause a minor earthquake when you throw a moving pick
Tough guy, you think you're like the Shaq
Keep running around, you'll catch a heart attack
Tough guy, what are you giving me?
The way you're playing ball, well, you'll stop me from living, B
Tough guy
Tough guy
Tough guy, your shit is weak
Tough guy, you fucking freak
Tough guy, I'll stick your shit
Tough guy
