(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
