The other night in the Chi, Hov got through the whole verse of the joint that got J.T. Taylor hot under his red collar. Follow along:

We talkin’ about real shit or we talkin’ about rhymes
Y’all talkin’ about millions or y’all just talkin’ about mines
What we talkin’ about? ‘Cause I ain’t got time
For what people be talkin’ about all the time
What we talkin’ about fiction or we talkin’ about fact?
We talkin’ about fiction, hold up, pardon my back
We talkin’ about life and all I hear is, “Oh yeah he keeps talkin’ about crack.”
I ain’t talkin’ about profit
I’m talkin’ about pain
I’m talkin’ about despair
I’m talkin’ about shame
I ain’t talkin’ about gossip
I ain’t talkin’ about Game
I ain’t talkin’ about Jimmy
I ain’t talkin’ about Dame
