[VERSE 1]
|
Aiyo, stop what you're doin, kid, here comes the tracks
|
From the heart to the head to the pen to the wax
|
And then to the store and the video channel
|
I'm not the Black Crows but I'm still 'hard to handle'
|
I don't wear sandals, I'd rather wear kicks
|
When I chill with the fellas and I watch the Knicks
|
See, I run things like Judge Wapner in the court
|
I'm like New York in the winter cause I take no shorts
|
Or no sports, but I know something too
|
Gimme the mic and 4 minutes and I show what I can do
|
Fu Man Chu was a famous oriental
|
And Katmandu made a funky instrumental
|
I don't get sentimental, even with a honey dip
|
My chorus line a rental cause I have a pink slip
|
And I won't flip as I make my way through this
|
So check it cause I got a record, yo, and we can do this
|
|
[CHORUS x4]
|
(What, what, a say what?)
|
Yo, we can do this
|
|
[VERSE 2]
|
I make papers like an IBM
|
Most of my friends clock the ends so I'm down with them
|
I don't need nobody tryin to sweat me or tryin to get me
|
Or tryin to soak me like a Tetley
|
Tea bag, to slap on a feedbag
|
Playin like Olive Oil but lookin more like the Sea Hag
|
So don't pay me Tuesday for a hamburger today
|
Here's the pun and then some, you can be on your way
|
See, I'm sick of all the beefin and the riffin
|
From the hype and the pipe and the cocaine sniffin
|
Walk around the way robotic
|
Thinkin you can get what you need to get from a narcotic
|
Girls ain't speakin, no, they're just freakin
|
Livin life fast like the last of the Mohicans
|
Think they know it all but they don't cause they clueless
|
So check it cause I got a record, yo, and we can do this
|
|
[CHORUS x4]
|
|
[VERSE 3]
|
Yes, we can do this like Brutus, play it like a flutist
|
Or jump it like a nudist parachutist
|
I'm not new to this, but you already knew this
|
That's too many rhymes at one time, so yo, screw this
|
I be bonin like a skeleton, never wear Benetton
|
If I watch the base then I be watchin Terry Pendelton
|
Love to eat Jellitan to keep my body toner
|
And if [Name] wore some Nikes she woulda gone to Barcelona
|
So pick up the phone and call your friends
|
This is somethin that be bumpin from a Yugo to a Benz
|
I might make ends but I'm not in it for the money
|
You're not Lamont Sanford but you're still a 'big dummy'
|
I hang out with the honeys to pass the time
|
And I hang out with the homies to bust a rhyme
|
I draw the line at actin dumb and actin foolish
|
So check it cause I got a record, yo, and we can do this
|
|
(What, what, a say what?)
|
Yo, we can do this
|
(What, what, a say what?)
|
Yo, we can do this
|
(What, what, a say what?)
|
Yo, we can do this
|
(What, what, a say what?)
|
|
(What, what, a say what?)
|
Yo, we can do this
|
(What, what, a say what?)
|
Yo, we can do this
|
(What, what, a say what?)
|
Yo, we can do this
|
(What, what, a say what?)
|
And I'm out
|
