Intro
Yeah... yeah...
MC Madvibe on the beat, they don't wanna eat with me
Nah, they gonna eat for me... nah...
They gonna BE the meat for me, haha
Let's go
Verse 1
See I'm never on the platter I'm the one that does the carving
I be starving for the power never bargain never barter
Going harder than the martyr, man I'm smarter than the starter
Who be sitting at the bottom of the order like a waiter
But I'm greater than the hater who be later to the paper
I am able, I am stable, never fable, it ain't a label
Its a principle, invincible, the pinnacle of biblical
Proportional political, a criminal subliminal
The minimal is pitiful, you sitting at the kiddy table
Thinking you the general, but really you the edible
The medical, the skeletal, the evidence is federal
They measuring your recipe, effectively you letting me
Devour you indefinitely, heavily and steadily
Every melody I'm telling these competitors they dead to me
Pre-Chorus
And I keep on cooking, keep on cooking
Everybody looking, everybody shook and
They don't got a booking at the table that I took and
If you ain't reserved then you getting served, nah look—
Chorus
If you ain't sitting then you getting picked apart
If you ain't cutting then you getting on the card
Every dish is vicious, every position is hard
You the appetizer homie, I'm the one that's à la carte
If you ain't sitting then you getting picked apart
Started from the kitchen now I'm running every yard
They was never with me, now they wishing on a star
You the main course baby, bon appétit, au revoir
Verse 2
See the menu got your name up on it, lame upon it, shame upon it
Came upon it, claim you want it, but you never put the flame up on it
I be cooking at the summit, never plummet, always running
Something cunning in the oven and I'm loving every minute of it
Sitting pretty at the head, never led, never fed to the fed
I be spreading bread instead while they spreading you like butter on the bread
Get it in your head — its a killer eat killer type of riddim
And I'm gripping every system, never victim, check the wisdom
If they didn't get the mission then they missing the position
And the vision, the precision, the decision is the difference
Between the one who eating and the one who getting eaten
I ain't leaving, I ain't sleeping, every season I be feasting
Give me one more reason, even breathing is a season
And I'm seasoning the reason that they freezing while I'm heating
Pre-Chorus
And I keep on cooking, keep on cooking
Everybody looking, everybody shook and
They don't got a booking at the table that I took and
If you ain't reserved then you getting served, nah look—
Chorus
If you ain't sitting then you getting picked apart
If you ain't cutting then you getting on the card
Every dish is vicious, every position is hard
You the appetizer homie, I'm the one that's à la carte
If you ain't sitting then you getting picked apart
Started from the kitchen now I'm running every yard
They was never with me, now they wishing on a star
You the main course baby, bon appétit, au revoir
Bridge
Slow it down... slow it down...
See they set the table, laid the silverware and everything
But they never thought to wonder who the chef was in the building
I was building while they chilling, I was grilling while they sitting
Now the whole buffet is mine and ain't nobody getting filling
Without permission... yeah... without permission...
Verse 3
So I'm back up on the menu but I'm writing it this time
Every line a michelin design, divine, refined
Intertwine the grind with wine and dine but mine is
Fifty steps ahead I'm leaving breadcrumbs for the blind and
Finding diamonds in the dining, timing, climbing, shining
Rhyming while reclining at the table that I'm mining
Silver lining, never whining, always grinding, redesigning
Every plate you thought was yours, I'm realigning and combining
Yeah I took a seat, I took a street, I took a beat
I took defeat and turned it to a feast upon my feet
Elite repeat, complete, concrete, delete the ones who cheat
The table's set, the meal is met, bon appétit
Outro
Haha... yeah...
You ain't gotta like it
But you gonna digest it
