(verse one)
|
|
I'm the beat box original
|
Cool individual
|
Rockin' for no one some funds is my residual
|
Salary calories in just one rhyme
|
Would last any even a whole life time
|
Dictate conversate translate lose weight
|
From 1987 88
|
And the years to come
|
The bass will still be dumb
|
And bounce
|
Sellin' DEF rhymes by the ounce
|
And if you ain't wit it it's the thought that counts
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
Cause they call me Doug E. Fresh
|
Cause known I'm DEF and the initials of my name is D.E.F.
|
Know what I'm sayin'
|
I ain't playin'
|
|
Picture this...
|
|
(verse two)
|
|
Standing outside in the front of the place
|
Eyes hypnotized by the sound of the bass
|
Kickin' it wicked I wonder who it is performing
|
Cops barricade so the crowd won't storm in
|
I'm in the middle of this and and I'm left unknowin
|
Standing and plannin' if the groups not showin up
|
But the tension of the crowd is growin up
|
Out of adolescence to a full size problem
|
And if I have problems I solve them and they,and they
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
(verse three)
|
|
Pointed in the direction headed for the door
|
As my mind recalls being through this before
|
So I'm figuring and adding and here I am mad
|
In a way getting closer to the metal detector
|
Pass my shank to the cut professor
|
I was taught to never roam as they check my home boy
|
And find out the shank ain't nuthin but a comb
|
Through a distant block I didn't come to rock
|
I came to put the whole place in shock
|
But this girl followed me just like a shadow
|
I told her to chill because I know the girl
|
Had no reason for teasin'
|
Because it ain't skeezin' season
|
Me and the fellas were just breezin' on by
|
I didn't want to dis'her so I said Hi
|
And capitalize in what I specialize in
|
And begin to get down into something more important
|
While the Dj spins the records
|
And I recon without double checkin'
|
I have you spell bound in the average of a second or less
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
Cut it up Will
|
Cut it up Barry
|
Cut,cut,cut,cut
|
Cuttin up
|
Cut it up
|
|
