[Chorus:] Gotta be the illest brother to claim respect. It takes the illest brother just to get respect. Got to be the illest brother when it`s time to get wreck. Got to be the illest brother when I get my mic check. I`m one of the illest brothers known to man. But if you don`t understand, see I`m a grown man. And I stand 5`8" and 3 quarters.
