I gots to have it Unless you're gonna rob me Like they did Whittaker when he fought Chavez 'Cause tryin' to go against the Kane rappin' Is like a pimp tryna pull a nun, ain't nothin' happenin' Clear the way for the one champion True Black don who begun gettin' the job done Take a look hon back up son You know you can't get none C'mon I'm on a whole 'nother level of rap And it's like that, now show me where the party at Uh-huh Da-da-da-da-da Yeah I like the way it sound And I love the way it's goin' down Da-da-da-da-da You know I like the way it sound And I love how it's goin' down The B-I-G D-A-D-Y no back and add another D Then back to the K to the A to the N to the E Live from New York, the one and only I give it to you raw for my homies, Uh, and to the ladies I take 'em lookin' somethin' fine and don't mind If we bump and grind if you're with me, jump in line Because If in my wallet I can find one prophylactic Then you better believe girl That you gonna get your ass dicked Hard type of rappers extinct like a dinosaur The kind you saw that rhymed before But now you never find no more Steppin' to the Kane with some drama to be startin' Because I put 'em all on ice like Tonya Harding Back up boy, I got the whole convoy Rollin' with me on a mission That's to seek and destroy So To all the people that's been tryin' to talk about me You better change your name to 5000 'cause you're Audi And if you bring on your crew, I'm steppin' to them too Just put the beat on, And watch how I swim through the groove With more style than a backstroke Drivin' past my competition, Like cab drivers do Black folks That's the way I move, I always stay the smooth Operator with data waitin' for you to play a groove To turn it out without a doubt and show what I'm about Good lookin' Brooklyn we in the house Shamon Da-da-da-da-da Yeah I like the way it sound And I love the way it's goin' down Da-da-da-da-da You know I like the way it sound And I just love the way it's goin' down
