Tina Fey has been the head writer at Saturday Night Live, created the beloved comedy series 30 Rock and become a best selling author. But now, thanks to Donald Glover (a.k.a. Chidlish Gambino) she can rap too! The popular comedian makes a cameo appearance and drops a wickedly funny verse on Glover’s hip-hop mixtape Royalty. The Huffington Post reports:

Tina Fey: Mom, showrunner, comedian, rapper.

Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) dropped a new free mixtape on the Fourth of July, and he really flexed his networking muscles when it came to nabbing features for the album. The RZA, Bun B, Danny Brown, Schoolboy-Q and — wait for it — Tina Fey all drop verses on the tape.

Fey appears on “Real Estate,” a pure-rap track which also features mostly unremarkable work from Alley Boy and Swank. Here’s her full verse (which is — by far — the standout part of the song):

Yeah we in here, we in this thing
Gambino is forever, royalty is forever
We ballin’ till we f–k up the hardwood, homie
This the life we live, son
My president is black and my prius is blue, motherf—r
Royalty all day, we droppin’ racks at Nordstrom, son
That’s racks on racks, you feel me? You feel me?
This is the part where most people would say something crazy and drop the n-word after it
Not doing that, I’m not doing that, I DON’T FEEL COMFORTABLE!
I’m out
