Yo Marley (yo)
Know when a rapper sucks? (when?)
His rhymes are weak and he sounds like Teddy Rux (yep)
Picking up the mic when the crowd is on a hype
And then I pick it up after him and everything is right (word)
So he says, "Yo Craig man, what's your secret?"
But I won't tell him cause I know he won't keep it
Know what I'm sayin', that's how I conceal it
And if you think you're steppin' to me, please don't even feel it
Because I might pull out a mic and start to joust you
So don't try to fight back because I'll house you
And when I say house, I don't mean the music
I mean take it to your ego then bruise it
So heed my warning, and don't try to riff
Because I might get ill and start shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift

Knowledge this, I'm gonna enlist
A new twist to the rap business
Comin' correct, gainin' all my prospects
Come to my shows and watch me as I wreck
It's Craig G, runnin' down a list for
A new crowd that needs a new twist for
Another formula, cause I be stormin' ya
You won't survive, so yo, call the coroner
You see I never got played or even near-played
And I walk a lot of style like flare-legs
So if you front on me, you'll get blitzed
So clear the way
I'm shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift
ย
I like hypeness but smooth is my major
So don't get mad if I came off or played ya
That's just my style, to rappers I'm obnoxious
See nothing's gonna stop me once I rock this
You rappers humor me, wishin' that you were me
Mind's full of adjectives, that's why I had to give the crowd
A little bit more on the smooth side
And like a jockey on a horse, that's how the groove rides
So place your bets, cause odds are in my favor
And when I shoot for ya, my rhymes won't graze ya
They'll hit you hard, heavy and directly
So don't front on me, you should accept me
Cause if you front on me, you'll have to shift
And then you'll realize that I'm shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift
Flowin', like water in the ocean
Movin' with every rap motion
So listen closely if you want a earful
Cause at my shows, I want a peer to
All the wack ones are out of the facility
See I don't want them bitin' my ability
They should relax, or either feel my impact
Cause if they don't, they might get pimp-slapped
By a scientist, so don't try and diss
Just sit still, and keep your eye on this
Cause if you decide to look the other way
You're gonna miss another cool brother play
And I don't know if you wanna miss
Craig G, when I'm shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift
I'm shootin' the gift
