Verse One: Grand Puba
I hit a beat and swing a note as if my name was David Ruffin
Quick to toast an MC just like an english muffin
Don`t worry about a thing cause the Puba`s never bluffin
I gets headaches from the wack, so then I take a Bufferin and I max
I wait until the opportune time and then I tax
But should I max?
Now they say sinning is for sinners so I guess I`m not a sinner
Beginnings is for beginners so I guess I`m no beginner
This is how I spark it, with money in my pocket
When it comes to having pressure I gets hard as a rocket
MC Grand Pu, coming through all the residue
The songs remain classics, dating back to the Babalu
My boys I call em hot, the phones all of them jock
And I can think of many episodes I swung in Lincoln Park
No I`m not a phony and I got a tenderoni
Love the way she is -- not too fat, not too bony
Don`t drink Sanka, won`t sink like a tanker
Knock the boots of a skirt in Casablanca and I thank her
Some rappers stink, like Englebert Humperdink
Better yet Dick Caveat, I got a bad habit
Similar to the girl, on She`s Gotta Have It
I think with the brain and I whip behind the zipper
I`m living kinda good similar to Jack Tripper
A landlord named Roper did a show at the Copa
When I finish with this, I`ll be paid like Oprah
So if honey wants to act fly
I`ll just play like Guy and I`m [saying bye bye..]
[.. dumb bitch] Stick out your thumb and hitch
cause you`ve been cut off like a lightswitch
See I`m programmed to slam with the summer, spring, and fall
Before I do a show I get some kicks out the mall
Then I get my gear and I give Trev a call
Cause he works in the barbershop, right behind the mall
Other rappers tried to rob me but you know they got did
To put it blunt, honey I smoked the kids
So hookers back off break North here comes the regulator
Cause you doesn`t find none greater
Verse Two: Derek X (now Sadat X)
On file is a style that`s why you caught a clip
My suitcases is packed and I`m going on a trip to Mic-a-delphia
I go for self and still be slamming
The school bell is ringing and I caught somebody cramming
for the test, oh yes, my study guide was thick
I cut you with my verbal didn`t hurt you just a nick
off your face don`t play possum
watch me and I`ll blossom like a rose
And get some new clothes and a fresh fade from Rob
Jump on the phone and dial the Now Rule Mob
Now come one, come all, we about to get hectic
If my crew don`t get in, then the x makes an exit
to the rear, I`m outta here, don`t front on my brothers
I take care of them before I take care of others
Now wood bats is doomed in the ninties it`s aluminum
Step to the stage with a mic and I`m doing him something awful
I`m a citizen and I`m lawful
I go to hunt another fall, rip the policemen`s ball
I got the power to make a car stall
I guess I`m great, from blackness, and when the crowd slackens
I stop drinking, and then I start thinking
About days in the past when Derek X was last
but now I`m on the top damn news travels fast
cuz I`m like that! They can`t see this
Read my book, it contains many pieces of verses
I took the time to delete all the curses
So moms reach deep in your purses
And buy me take me home and try me and do me well
Verse Three: Lord Jamar
Well, while I reign rhymes pour
You suck it up like a straw and jump on the dancefloor
Cause every time I step in a jam
I make like a door and slam
But then girls try to turn my knob cause I`m a hearthrob
I guess it`s just a hazard that comes with the job
Cause everytime I rock a rhyme that shows Jamar is intellectual
Girls want to get sexual
Well I guess I have to cope with being so dope
You want to be me, but can`t see me with a telescope
You seek and search but still you can`t find
You`re weak and it hurts to be deaf dumb and blind
A supreme mind, will take you out of your paralysis
I grip the mic so tight I get callouses
And your analysis, is that the Lord
Rips rhymes into shape with a mic cord
I do it good cause I`m a postive black man
Eating up suckers as if I was Pac Man
Not a Dapper Dan fan I stay casual
To rock like the J it comes gradual
You got to know the ledge of wise and dumb
And understand your culture of freedom
Power equally with the Gods
