[Chorus:]
|
Who is it
|
That walks the street with all the action?
|
(It's The Dude)
|
Who is it
|
That always gets a hot reaction?
|
(That's The Dude)
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
Don'tcha' go makin no mojo moves
|
'Round The Dude
|
(Don't try no funny bizness.)
|
|
Don'tcha' be coppin no attitude
|
With The Dude
|
(Hey, hey, here comes The Dude)
|
|
[The Dude Speaks:]
|
Hey everybody in the neighborhood,
|
The beauty's on duty, better hear me good
|
Sister E-flat tomato, Brother B-flat balloon,
|
Somethin' funky's goin' down, better listen to my tune
|
|
I graduated from the college of the street
|
I got a P.H.D. in how to make ends meet
|
Inflation in the nation don't bother me,
|
'Cause I'm a scholar with a dollar
|
You can plainly see
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
He's a winner 'cause it's in his blood
|
Ain't nobody whose out there like him
|
Any corner in the neighborhood,
|
That's the place that you'll always find him
|
Soft talkin' with a rap so sweet,
|
(He does it good)
|
Ladies call him The Candy Rapper
|
(They want his love.)
|
He's the only one that's really cool
|
(He's really cool)
|
That's the reason why he's The Dude
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Who is it
|
That ain't got time for foolish talkin'?
|
(It's The Dude)
|
Who is it
|
That looks so clean you can't ignore him
|
(That's The Dude)
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Don'tcha' go mess with
|
His walkin' sticka˘ćˇ± not The Dude
|
(Don't try no funny bizness)
|
Don't you double-cross him
|
He's super slicka˘ćˇ± He's The Dude
|
(Hey, hey, here come The Dude)
|
|
[The Dude Speaks Again:]
|
I'm a stone cold taker,
|
I'm a piggy bank shaker,
|
An' I don't waste my time talkin' trash
|
So if you go to my school,
|
You gotta learn this rule a˘ćˇ±
|
Don't let your mouth write a check
|
That your body can't cash
|
If you never had it,
|
Don't pay it no mind
|
I know you're gonna get it,
|
If you take a little time
|
Take a piece from the East,
|
A piece from the West,
|
Put it where it feels good a˘ćˇ±
|
Let The Dude do the rest
|
|
[Chant:]
|
See him steppin' down the street
|
No forgettin', he's The Dude
|
See him steppin' down the street
|
No forgettin', he's The Dude
|
|
[Repeat Verse 1]
