"Everybody want the key and the secret to rap
Immortality like I have got
Well, to be truthful the blueprint's
Simply rage and youthful exuberance
Everybody loves to root for a nuisance
Hit the earth like an asteroid
and did nothing but shoot for the moon since
MC's get taken to school with this music
'Cause I use it as a vehicle to 'bus the rhyme"

The controversial rapper took to Twitter to share the good news with his fans.
