“Speak my mind, and niggas start feeling a way / Say what I feel, it ain’t my fault they feel what I say / Seem like in every interview, niggas wanna mention dude / He took my good punch line and got it misconstrued, ain’t diss you then, but now I will / Just saying how I feel,”Joe Budden raps.
Only a day after the “Letter to Saigon” leak, Saigon has already responded.
“Lil homosexual nigga made a diss record. He want me to bite his head off,”Saigon explained in a video featured on LOUD.com. “I’m not a battle rapper, but I’ll take this razor and run this shit across your fuckin’ Adam’s Apple. But, I’m gonna battle this nigga, just to show him that, lyrically, he’s not in my league. Never been, never will be.”
