Dying Hard for Iran–Contra

[Lyrics]

When you're a god it's a long fall down
I am your god, yeah, where's your god now?
When I pull up tell 'em "worship god now" (worship Reid)
Reid in this bitch tell 'em "worship god now" (worship me)
Worship god now
Worship god now

Roll up some shit, smoke that shit, I'm fine
I been droppin' classics
Big smoke, the gas
Keep that gat on dash
Shoot, then do the dash
Shoot, put him on blast
Shoot, that shit fast
Shoot, hand on the mac
Shoot, I am the man
Shoot, go get the bag
We shoot big guns the best (we do)

Big guns (guns, guns)
Big drum (drum, drum)
Big guns (guns)
Lots of fun (fun, fun, fun)

Shoot the place up like I was doin' heroin
Rim up in the sky, man I thought I was in Morrowind
I can never lose, tell me how the fuck you gon' win
Cut yo' ass off 'cause you ain't no use to me
Cookin' this shit up, this time you ain't usin' me
I really do it all no I don't need no middleman
Listen to my demands, no we can't meet in the middle man
Never been pregnant but I'm always deliverin'
(True)

Roll up some shit, smoke that shit, I'm fine
I been droppin' classics
Big smoke, the gas
Keep that gat on dash
Shoot, then do the dash
Shoot, put him on blast
Shoot, that shit fast
Shoot, hand on the mac
Shoot, I am the man
Shoot, go get the bag
We shoot big guns the best (we do)

...

When you're a god it's a long fall down
I am your god, yeah, where's your god now?
When I pull up tell 'em "worship god now" (worship Reid)
Reid in this bitch tell 'em "worship god now"
