You motherfuckers can't see me
Even with a patch on my eye, I'm dreamy
All in the grill of the gruesome
1, 2, 3, 7 diamonds on the twosome
Schedule, I aim to be in Atlanta with the legendary Jermaine
Dupri

Uh huh, I'm more delicious than shit outta cook books
See I'll even make Salvation Army clothes look good (you
know)
That divine, so fine, don't even wear the same underwear 2
times

JD, not the one to fuck around with
Heard ya got the whole entire state locked down, kid

That's right so don't ask us who the best
From the north to the south to the east to the west
We're...

*Fresh, dressed like a million bucks
Still worn the Bally shoes and the fly green socks
We're fresh, dressed like a million bucks
Still worn the Bally sodadadadada socks

Come on, kids, Jermaine Dupri a wiz
Walkin' down the street, you kow mindin' my own biz
My man girlfriend started actin' like she hoein'
"Hey JD, where your fine ass going?"
To the studio, I told her frontin'
Unless you wanna take it in the cooler or sumpin'

<ahh!> For real and that shit ain't a fact?

She said that she would meet me at my house around 10
Not to mention, a nice tender body
10 o'clock, here came the red beau hotty
My man girl told totally deceptive
Still I try to fuck the full out the bitch rectum <unhhh>
See, the woman so shady
Talkin' bout actin' like she upped and offed JD
Now she wanna kiss and caress cause i left a couple of bite
marks on the hun's

*Repeat (x2)

When the doubt falls, my door they knock up on
Designers even ask me what they need to stock up on
Why the fuck did ya like to done pest us
When the tag team ya hearin' is untouchable, peasant?
Slick, Jermaine Dupri back as the fat trackers
We'll diarrhea up on your black ass
Babies jump out the carriage
Could even fix the Hillary and Clinton marriage
Charisma now felt
To the point where even I could make even lesbians melt
Models bookin' at me
Could even make her grandmother catch an orgasm lookin' at
me (you know)
It's kinda outlandish, rastas even say
"What kind fine young man dis"
So don't put me to the test
From the north, from the south to the east to the west
We're...

*Repeat (x5)

Yeah check check I can't I can't manage I I can't
(But you must Rick) I can't I can't manage
(But you must Rick) Ah shit

Hoes ass kiss cause I'm like Jason vision
Releasin' me a basket case from prison Pissed
Blood feenin' the villain like 'Wassup ya'll'
Deep down schemin' how to kill 'em
Misleadin' a bit although proceedin' a hit
I made 'em feel I'd never jeopardise my freedom for shit
Played the empty headed part,
Though the moment they dreaded start, neat
Back of the head and took the credit card
Seen properly decease,
Made it look like an everyday robbery to police
And I's out
Police believed a thief pop for sureity, a jerky
Alert the rest to beef up security
And not to get flashy, although another blast occurred
Another brother deservin' to get massacred
Pleasure in poppin' that flea
Should a heard mister tough guy coppin' mad pleas
Not insane, nor am I biased
Though feels good to watch a motherfucker die before
my fly ass
Ain't nuttin' to blast, fuck it
Then I put some crack vials in the ass pocket and was off
Police said a thug awaited, since I didn't leave no evidence
A drug related incident

I still clock the mil' figures, cock back triggers
Reason why your girlfriends dig us - cause I kill niggaz

You are my shining star, my guiding light, my thug fantasy
You are my shining star, my guiding light, my thug fantasy

Well I had it up to here, that's why a brother buckin' trife
And gettin' way with murder, this the motherfucking life
At a jam, nine figure on shelf
While your army a nigger snickering among self - thiefs
Who wanna clock the br

Here's an oldie but goodie
Hit it
Excuse me
What?
Can I have your attention?
Mn-hmm
There's just a few things that I've got to mention (Uh-huh)
There's girlies out here that seem appealing
They'll come in your life and cold hurt your feelings
I'm telling you
As sure as Rick is my name
I wouldn't trust not girl unless she feels the same
Treat 'em like a prostitute (Do What?)
Don't treat no girlie well until you're sure of the scoop
'Cause all they do is they hurt and trample
Listen up close, here comes my first example

Now ya been with your girlfriend for quite a while
Plans for the future, she's having your child
Celebrate with friends drinking cans and quarts
Tell all your friends about your family thoughts
One friend was drunk so he starts to act wild
He tells the truth about the kid
It's not your child
Acting like a jerk and on his face was a smirk
He said, "Your wife went berserk while you was hard at work"
And she led him on and tried to please him
She didn't waste time, she didn't try to tease him

Treat 'em like a prostitue (Do What?)
Don't treat no girlie well, treat no girlie well, treat no girlie well until
you're sure of the scoop
'Cause all they do is they hurt and trample
Listen up close, here comes my second example

It's your wife
You buy the tramp jewels and clothes
You get sentimental and bring home a rose
Give her everything 'cause you swear she's worth it
All your friends tell you, "The bith dont' deserve it"
Love is blind, so there goes your wealth
Until one day, you see things for yourself
Home from work early, Mr. Loverman
You had a card and some candy in your right hand
There's the mailman, he was short yet stout
He went inside your house and didn't come back out
Bust it
Just a friendly stop, come on, is it?
The mailman comes and he pays your wife a visit?
The thought alone makes your temperature boil
You say to yourself, she might still be loyal
You open up your door and stand in a trance
You see the mailman's bag and the mailman's pants
Came home to party
from work had a hard day
Look around your house and you say, "Where the fuck are they?"
Run upstairs up to your bedroom
You look inside your room, you see something brewin'
Cover your mouth because you almost choke
You see the mailman's dick way up your wife's throat

Treat 'em like a prostitute (Mm-hmm)
Don't treat no girlie well, treat no girlie well, treat no girlie well until
you're sure of the scoop
'Cause all they do is they hurt and trample
Listen up close, here comes my third example

Now your girl, she don't like to have sex a lot
Today she's ready and she's hot, hot, hot
As you open up the door she says, "Get on the floor"
She wants to try things she's never tried before
She takes off your drawers and works you over
She calls you Twinkles
And you call her Rover
Next thing you know, the ho starts to ill
She says, "I love you, Harold" and your name is Will
That's not the half 'til you start to ride her
Take off your rubber and there's one more inside her
It's not yours-who can it be?
I think it was a slick rapper, his name is M.C. Ricky

Treat 'em like a prostitute
Don't treat no girlie well, treat no girlie well
Treat no girlie well, until you're sure of the scoop

Hauk, who goes yonder?
It is I, sire, Richard of Nottingham
Well, speak up man, what is it?
News from the east, sire, Rick the Ruler has returned!

Gather 'round party goers as if your still livin
And get on down to the old Slick rhythm
Now this one here is called the Ruler my dear
Its a mere party booster that will set things clear
Its a hundred percent proof from champions of truth
And if you feel you need spirit I'll bring back your youth
Relax your mind, and folks unwind
And be kind to a rhythm that you hardly find
And off we go, let the trumpets blow
Well hold on, because the driver of the mission is a pro
The Ruler's back

Now in these times, at least to me
There's a lot of people out here tryin' to sound like Ricky D
Not tryin' to cause trouble cause its really a small thing
But they're bitin what I'm writin
God it's great being the king
Some sound allright, but then they act illy
Try conquering my crown and that's really very silly
Now I'm not the type that gets upset
Try to disrespect folks just to earn respect
But learn this fact, whether white or black
I can't be conquered in my style of rap
For jealousy and envy are dumb ones tools
So Ricky says nothing, he keeps his cool
Revenge is not a mission that the Ruler's on
Just forgiveness required for the wrong that's done
So off we go, let the trumpets blow
And hold on, because the driver of the mission is a pro
The Ruler's back

Now one day when I was chillin' at this outside jam
I seen folks havin' a ball and plus clappin' their hands
To beats of records that conquer the streets
Like Pee Wee Herman and Clubhouse Treats
Girls was chillin', boys rule as usual
The slacks, the golds, the rings, I hope I'm not confusin y'all
But everyone in the house looks smashin'
Fresh clothes on their butts and nothing out of fashion
And just when you thought nothing couldn't get better
A news flash concealed in a bright yellow letter
A kid ran up to the mike and said "Alert, hear this,"
Cleared his cloggy throat and then began to persist
He said "Hallelujah, kids hear this
the Ruler's back and he's here to assist"
So off we go, let the trumpets blow
And hold on because the driver of the mission is a pro
The Ruler's back

Here we go,
Once upon a time not long ago,
When people wore pajamas and lived life slow,
When laws were stern and justice stood,
And people were behavin' like they ought ta good,
There lived a lil' boy who was misled,
By anotha lil' boy and this is what he said:
"Me, Ya, Ty, we gonna make sum cash,
Robbin' old folks and makin' tha dash",
They did the job, money came with ease,
But one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease,
He robbed another and another and a sista and her brotha,
Tried to rob a man who was a D.T. undercover,
The cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic,
He said "Keep still, boy, no need for static",
Punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap,
But little did he know the lil' boy was strapped,
The kid pulled out a gun, he said "Why did ya hit me ?",
The barrel was set straight for the cop's kidney,
The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure,
"I'll do years if I pull this trigga",
So he cold dashed and ran around the block,
Cop radioes it to another lady cop,
He ran by a tree, there he saw this sista,
A shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her,
Looked around good and from expectations,
So he decided he'd head for the subway stations,
But she was coming and he made a left,
He was runnin' top speed till he was outta breath,
Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him,
Then he made his move to an abandoned building,
Ran up the stairs up to the top floor,
Opened up the door there, guess who he saw?,
Dave the dope fiend shootin' dope,
Who don't know the meaning of water nor soap,
He said "I need bullets, hurry up, run!"
The dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun,
He went outside but there was cops all over,
Then he dipped into a car, a stolen Nova (?),
Raced up the block doing 83,
Crashed into a tree near university,
Escaped alive though the car was battered,
Rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered,
Ran out of bullets and still had static,
Grabbed a pregnant lady and out the automatic,
Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full o' lead,
He told the cops "Back off or honey here's dead",
Deep in his heart he knew he was wrong,
So he let the lady go and he starts to run on,
Sirens sounded, he seemed astounded,
Before long the lil' boy got surrounded,
He dropped the gun, so went the glory,
And this is the way I have end this story,
He was only seventeen, in a madman's dream,
The cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream,
This ain't funny so don't ya dare laugh,
Just another case 'bout the wrong path,
Straight 'n narrow or yo' soul gets cast(?).

Good night.

Well I'm sittin on my lunch break, grinnin my teeth (my teeth)
It's the last day of the week, boy what a relief (relief)
My muscles kind of ache, they felt rigid and stuff
so I looked around, and I smoked this big fat spliff
Now I'm happy as can be I'm in this pothead spell
I put some Visine in my eyes so that no one can tell
It's 12:55 almost time for the bell
Put the breathmints in the mouth so that the mouth don't smell
Now back on the job, I don't bother no one
I keep strictly to myself and all my work gets done
Now the job's finally over it's time to have fun
and I'm hangin out with Trevor there's a kid named John
Got real drunker than a skunk and happy as can be
We went, to the Latin Quarters and we got in free
Scoopin all the girls like nuttin with my trunk jewelry
cause I'ma fly brown brother and you can't school me
Boogie Down was performin hey they ain't no joke
And a bunch of Brooklyn kids was lookin all down my throat
Was it my big chains with the big plates on em?
Then they rolled on me and told me to run em

This was the moment I feared...
"Hey yo homeboy take off your chains man
Bout to hurt you real fuckin bad, I'm gonna fuck you up"
This was the moment I feared...
"Yo what's the matter stupid? Take the shits off man!
The fuck is up?"

I said, "They're really not real, they're just a front for the girls"
Then a whole bunch of fists just, caved my world
I was in pain, so ashamed, I wish I had not came
Had to kindly pick up my face and then ride home on the train, then
I went to an open store that's where I brought/bought me a quart
Then I went to the park, and I sat and I thought
I seen Danny Boy though he's with his girl named Sarah
in one of his cars, I think this one's a Bravera
She calls out to me, but, I really couldn't hear her
So I went just a little bit closer so I'd hear a little clearer
She said, "I need Veronica Blades that's right near Tilden"
I said, "I know where that's at cause that's right next to my building"
I gave em the information and they went on their way
I went home, and there I slept til almost three the next day
Then someone knocked on my door, I opened up, no quit!
It was Sarah with some magazines and a bag named Kit
She tried to use me and seduce me and at first I wasn't with it
Then we did it and we did it and we did it and WE DID IT
She said it was great, she said she's glad we had done it
The elevator came and Danny Boy was on it

This was the moment I feared...
"Hey yo what the fuck's goin on here?
What you doin to my girl homeboy?"
This was the moment I feared...
"Oh I just KNOW y'all didn't just finish fuckin
I just KNOW y'all ain't just finish fuckin"

Well he was huffin and puffin and he swung at me -- word
So I pulled out my jammy and I silenced the nerd
Then he was dead two in the head I took the cash and the Visa's
She said, "Don't worry about a thing just make sure nobody sees us"
We went back to her apartment, there was blow in the freezers
She said, "We're rich we're rich we can have whatever will please us"
Now I don't hang with no one who ain't good for my health
So I put the sugarhead out and I went for self
Now I was rich as I was rich I could have whatever would please me
Now I could wear real gold in front of folks that would tease me
Yah me, I'll be a new neighborhood dad
Cats'll roll up on me screamin, "Yo Rick my man!!"
I guess I was too fly word up I'm sorry to say
Ya see a cop rolled up on me and told me, "Make my day"
I said, "Relax brother," but he had proof that I had done it
Yah they had false hair on underwear with my fingerprints all on it
This was the rise and fall of my fast lane style
And I was the main event on the TV for a while
but now I'm in jail doin life and I'm scared
Some kids snuffed me cold and greased me where no one dared

This was the moment I feared...
"Turn around nigga (HAHAHAHA)
Spread your cheeks"
This was the moment I feared...
"UHH, AOWWHWHWAA! STOP STOP! AHAOWWHAHAOOHO"

(chorus 4x)
A teenage love, A teenage love
Don't, don't hurt me again

(Verse One)
Hey sport, here's a thought from the old school crew
A serious situation we all go through
It deals with your feelins, so hear what I say
It's like a day when nothing seems to go your way
Bust this, two people, they really like each other
He says their's no one else
And she claims there is no other
The feelins the same, and you receive a notion
To reveal your inner thoughts and deeply hidden emotions

(Chorus:4x)

(Verse Two)
Precious times, hopin they won't end
Tell your mother bout your lover
also your best friend
Ya mighty proud while your holdin their hand
Boys, yea that's my woman, and girls, yeah that's my man
This person brings a certain warmth to your heart
And everything seems so great at the start
For she loves him, and he also loves her
And it's hard to turn back to who the person you were
But later on, problems start to occur
And the bond, which combines, y'all turns into a blur
For the feelins were the same, now here's the score
You love them to much, and they don't love you anymore
Is your attitude a number
Or because your not bein true
Or maybe they're just plain sick of seein you
Word, now it might seem strange
You better take hints quick, and make the right change

(Chorus 4x)

See just when you swore the ball was rollin
They're gone and part of your hearts been stolen
get back on your feet with a hop and a skip
but no you'd rather go with this dead relationship
hangin around and buyin them stuff
you see them every darn day yet don't see them enough
you follow them around and they claim your hawkin
when conversation comes you do all the talkin
not to mention attention, we all need a bit
beind your back their say yea he's all up in my
they're gtin sick of you and quite annonyed
and if you had plans for the future they're now destroyed
you saw what was happenin and you still let it
and if you ever let him make love to you girls you can forget it
sweetheart you been caught
an it'll spread around town faster then you thought
then breakup time an you receve the word
yo this is from the heart and I know that part hurts
get over it from now on don't take short slick
if its not true love you shouldn't deal with it
just think of your future and what is to come
and pay attention to the words in this song
they go
(Chorus 1x)
Do you know where you're goin to
do you like the things life is showin you
where are you goin to
do you know
Don't hurt me again(8x)
(Chorus 4x)

[Ricky Walters]
Ladies and gentlemen... and lowlifes
It is with outstanding pleasure
that we are here to present tonight...
Slick Rick the Ruler! And MC Ricky D!!
Doing their smash hit "Mona Lisa "
you know like the picture?
Anyway I'd like to take this time out
to bow before his divine majesty

[Ricky] Oh your majesty...
[Slick] Hmm?
[Ricky] Can I kiss your hand?
[Slick] Mm hmm
[Ricky] (kisses his hand loudly)
[Slick] Enough!
[Ricky] Come your highness.. they await you..

[Slick Rick]
Well, it was one of those days -- not much to do
I was chillin downtown, with my old school crew
I went into a store -- to buy a slice of pizza
And bumped into a girl, her name was Mona -- what?
Mona Lisa (what?) *singing* Mona Lisa, so men made you..
YouknowhatI'msayin? So I said, "Excuse me, dear
my gosh, you look nice!
Put away your money
I'll buy that slice!"
She said, "Thanks - I'd rather a slice of you
I'm just kidding, but that's awfully nice of you"
The compliment showed she had a mind in her
And when I smiled (PING!) I almost blinded her
She said, "Great Scott! Are you a thief?
Seems like you have a mouth full of gold teeth"
Ha-ha, hah! Had to find that funny
So I said, "No child, I work hard for the money
And calling me a thief? Please! Don't even try it (Right!)
Sit down eat your slice of pizza, and be quiet"
She almost got cut short -- you know, scissors
She tried to disrespect WHO?! The Grand Wizard
Me! "Well what's your name, son?"
"MC Ricky D," but not to be so harsh I said to Mona Li-hee
"I'm.. sorry and I know that's low class (uhh, yeah)
Please sit, and tell me a little about your past"
She said, "Well I got courage, and I don't like porridge (uh-huh)
I've never been to college, but I've got crazy knowledge (uh-huh)
Over eighteen and my eyes are green (uh-huh)
I wear more gold than that man on A-Team (uh-huh, uh-huh)
Trim, slim, (yeah) and I'm also light skinned
Best believe Mona's a virgin"
A virgin?! Honey needed a slap
She tried to tell me she's a virgin -- with her yea wide gap
I said, "It don't matter, see, I'm not picky (word)
Let me spell my name out for you, it's Ricky:
R -- Ravishing
I -- Impress
C -- Courageous; so careless
K -- for the Kangols which I've got
that I wear everyday and
Y -- why not?
To fight's not right that I recite and I'm..
quite polite like Walter Cronkite"
Well, just about then, Trevor my friend came in
He said, "Hey Rick, don't you know playin with these snakes is a sin?!?"
He grabbed me by my shirt and pulled me right out the store
He said, "I don't want to see you playin with these lowlifes no more!
Now come along, we have a party to attend
With some real mature women and some more of her friends"
He hailed down a cab and he waited for a minute
And as the cab came, he thrusted me in it!
And as we were leavin and drivin along
I could hear a melody as Mona sang a song

(excerpt from "Walk On By" [D. Warwick])
"If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry.. each time we meet..
Walk on by.. walk on by..
Foolish pride
That's all that I have left, so, let me hide
The pain and the hurt that you gave me
When you said goodbye..
You walked on by.."

Kit, where you goin'?
Sorry, michael, it's rick the ruler, I have to go

Lights, camera, action, you're on,
Get old ricky d, what's wrong?
The crowd's gone,
So help me out kit cause this thief has to be caught,
Radio the chief of police, get a report,
Chief of police said "well, I'm sorry ricky d cause I really can't
Help,"
Ahh drats I think I'll take a long walk,
Kit put your scan on all these rappers in new york,
"but michael's callin' me rick, I got to go,
If I get a word you'll definetly be the first to know,"
Well on that night I felt really up tight,
Hello? , "rick, it's vance wright,
Throw on your clothes, I found 'em, they're down town,"
Word? , "someone's havin' a concert and they're using your crown,"
What? , you sure it's mine?

You know your scratchers? , "yeah, plus I got tape of it,"
Get over my house quick, ride your motorcycle,
Kit, ricky rick, pick up, forget old michael,

I heard a (honk honk), that's kit, so lets pray,
Here go my rap kit,
Analyze a hit, so kit what's the scoop?
"slick rick, this one is it"

Well my tummy was growlin while i'se chillin in my seat,
We stopped by mcdonald's so I could somethin' to eat,
Skipped the line, the crowd started to break,
Hey yo, let me get a big mac and a strawberry shake,
Someone snatched me by my neck I thought I must be dead,
Injected me with somethin', threw a bag over my head,


I felt real weak, word, I couldn't even stand,
I fell, next thing i'se being thrust inside a van,
Unconscious, who could be this shady? ,
When I awoke I was in a room with this lady,
"so your the boss, rick rick with all the clout? ",
Uh-huh know why'm I tied up and what's this all about? ,
And this she left the room this was my one chance for hope,
I used my watch lighter to burn away the rope,
Then i's free, i's free, an alarm was alerted,
I made a flying leap through the window and it hurted,
Someone threw a knife, who could be this trife,
Then I ran and I ran cause i's petro (petrified) for my life,
Stranded and raw I saw a phone not far,
I radioed in to my supadelic car,
Yo, what's with the concert, am I still in it to win it? ,
"yes I'm in manhattan and I'll be there in a minute,
And oh, by the way, I re-listened to your hit, hey rick,"
What's the scoop? ,
"oh man, this one is it!"

Tight tight security, man, there was a (? ),
Came in with some candles and bum rushed the office,
Grabbed up the one who liked to front and pretend,
No, I don't know who it is, some brother lookin' like a hen,
"let me go, let me go, please," you must be dusted,
Hand cuffed this brother cause the thief could not be trusted,
Grabbed up my money and my crown that's how I dissed 'em,
I went on the mike, and dj, man, I'm on the system,
I warmed up the techniques to show he ain't soft,
The crowd was up and this is how it started off,
(who, who, who is the top choice of them all? )
Yo vance, cut, thanks a lot, who wanna die? ,
We up top, somewhat, forget me not,
Class that I have won't last,
Soon as I blast, from out the past, dash fast, and hear a last,
Vance wright, no man can bring you this,
And ricky rick, clean shot, cause I'm the king of this

(Hey young world)

hey young world the world is yours
hey young world
(mumbling in the background)

well I've been a public figure for quite a long time
known to the whole world for what (my style of rhyme)
but tonight let's talk about the ones who bite
although they know they won't (never get it right)
because they have no (class) and they have no (shame)
they'll bite another brother to boost their own (name)
get paid correct on a one way gimmick
I'm happy for you lowlifes but 'member there's a limit - so say

teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it
it looks kinda easy like there was nothing to it
but they don't understand that the master will be
the creator of the style (Ricky D)
teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it
it looks so easy like there was nothing to it
but they don't understand that the master will be
the creator of the style (Ricky D)

when I walk into a party cokesnorters laugh
as the girls be crazy coming for my mere autograph
and it seems that they aspiring my new style of rappin'
and brothers all around me out of vanity are snappin'
the girls say 'wow Rick you're so unique
please tell us how you organize the words you speak'
but my will says chill and I go upon my way
'cause class will be taught some other day - so say

teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it
it looks kinda easy like there was nothing to it
but they don't understand that the ruler will be
the creator of the style (Ricky D)
teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it
it looks so easy like there was nothing to it
but they don't understand the ruler will be
the creator of the style (Ricky D)

well I remember one night when the world was dead quiet
and out of nowhere some boy starts a riot
he tore my clothes, I had to throw blows
a shotgun barrel was dead on my nose
I froze - it was Big Foot and the Toes
yup, a bunch of small timers that be it on my shows
surrounded the ruler with machetes too
they said um 'if you don't teach us how to rap you're through'
I said 'okay, now let me go, please'
I seen an officer - then the officer screamed 'freeze!'
he said 'Slick Rick you okay?'
I had to play it off, some girls were looking my way
so I smacked one in the face and told him 'I won't retire'
and many years from now I'll just be getting higher
for I am the master, set and done
my name is Ricky D and I'm the only one - so say

(...Ricky D) - (...Ricky D)

now when I was a lad my style was bad
so I had to use what little bit of knowledge that I had
so I quote and I wrote 'till I was up to par
some rhymes were (boo-hoo) and some rhymes were (hahahaa!)
I educate myself so I'm able to reach ya
answering the call of teacher, teacher
tell us how you do it, it's so easy for me
the creator of the style, emcee Ricky D
now my only task is to warn all biters
slimy sluts and fake rhyme writers
don't try your luck and get the ruler annoyed
for when I'm through with you boy your whole world will be destroyed
so chill mister muscle or I'll come and hunt ya
if you are a girl I'll make no man want ya
so if you wanna rule and no bribes in the way
pay attention to my syllables and come see me and say hey hey

teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it
it looks so easy like there was nothing to it
but they don't understand the ruler will be
the creator of the style (Ricky D)
teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it
it looks kinda easy like there was nothing to it
but they don't understand that the ruler will be
the creator of the style (Ricky D)

Excuse me, I'm trying to earn a mere buck or two
A solemn rapper come in -- and who the fuck are you?
Around this part of town with diamonds and your girl in fur
"I'm trying to enter in this rap contest you're havin sir"
You're kinda late "Flat tire" Well that'd do it cuz
Well alright, pay me now, and you'll be at the hub
"I hope I don't mess up, or run out of breath, or even BRICK"
Don't worry hon you're hittin em harder than a fuckin brick
"But what do you think Van?" Please, no one can serve us
"Wish me luck dear, I'm scared and I'm nervous"
So who stands, who falls, who crowds the halls
This one the DJ calls... lick the balls!

Now everytime I write dope raps they come vickin it
Now you know the title of this, so start lickin it
Lips kickin it, hey bitch, there is a brick in it
So when you think you're prepared, I keep stickin it
Now here they come with a spike to fight, take it light
Now who the one you're trying to be like with all your might
And anyone that attempted to remove me out the race
best give me space before I fly in they fuckin face
Now raise that vocal, play that role around your local hoods
Don't worry about a thing cause Ricky Rick is bringin home the goods
Who stands, who falls, who crowds the halls
This one the DJ calls... lick the balls!

Now everything that come out your mouth, sound like it's out of spite
I'm back on a mission and this time I'm gonna anchor right
That's right, ads help, he's improvin it
"Thank gosh Rick! We love the way you're movin it"
Who's hittin rough in eighty-eight I bet your momma knows
Backslap you all down like I were dominoes
Stun em all, come on y'all, give me a taste of life
Act trife, I'll let my dog cold fuck ya wife
So be my friend and don't pretend you will not be forgiven
You're cleaning house up to the MASTER, that's how we both are livin
So who will stands, who falls, who crowds the halls
This one the DJ calls... lick the balls!

GO Vance Wright! GO Rick! Look at the style we bring
How come you cannot write a rap that will erase the king
The girls you watch are now entranced now when they see me slam
Shit on motherfuckers and I tell them who the fuck I am
My name is Rick, but now you know who's rulin it
Pump the world and the DJ put the fuel in it
Come ride the dick and if you wanna know what is the word
Who write the baddest raps you and your boys have ever heard
I eat you up and give your girl a bowl of Puppy Chow
You understand alright? Hello! I'm tryin to tell you now
Who stands, who falls, who crowds the halls
This one the DJ calls... lick the balls!

(let's listen to this dramatic show
which was popular in the early days of radio)

Ha ha, unh, yeah yeah
Jazzy Jeff, Fresh Prince and uh Jazzy Jeff, Fresh Prince and uh
Little taste of the old school
Jazzy Jeff, yo, break it down one time Say what?
Unh, unh, unh, unh
One for the treble, two for the bass
Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince back up in your face
Me and Jeff again, "Oh my" you say
1985 to the Y2K
The new millenium, propehicies, I'm fulfillin' 'em
Everywhere I go, people be yelling "yo, that's Will and them"
(so fresh) I check the rhyme like Quest
Some jokes dropped them doo-doo rhymes at my rest
The B-I-G, W-I-L-L King of swing, and I rock well
The nail in the coffin of your average rapper
Jeff do the ditto for your average scratcher
Stature of a rapper slash actor Back to the future on wax
The future of rap
Tap like Gregory Hines, read the headlines
Hip-hop's number one son still shines
'Cause I'm (so fresh) Big Will is (so fresh)
Jazzy Jeff is (so fresh) West Philly is (so fresh)
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Biiiiiz... Marrrr... KIE!

Yes y'all and to the funky beat and
Everytime you hear me rhyme, y'all be freakin'
The B-I-Z will wreck it, R-O-C-K it
You're guaranteed to like me, for what I am sayin'
To all those other emcees that be tryin' to get the info
Forget the rest 'cause I'm the best, and I'm a nympho-
Maniac, insaniac, I'll put you in a trance and
Always keep it tight, cuz, no matter what type was
In, you know I'm fresh in flavor
Yeah, that's right, I'm talkin' 'bout me
The R-K-I-E in the place to be
I recognize and hypnotize, everytime I tenderize
I specialize and open eyes, to make you realize
That you've been rocked with Jeff's plain skills
The diobolocal, and my man Will
And we're (so fresh)

Ha, Big Will is (so fresh) Biz Mark is (so fresh)
Jazzy Jeff is (so fresh) Biz, do it
Whoo, for the old school
Unh, unh, ha ha
Ladies and gentlemen
Rrricky... D!

Well once upon a time eccentric head shorty
Where people wore pijamas and went to bed early
There was a little boy, tight clout that might sprout
Tried to help lead black folk the right route
Delayed,
Negative voices, many, once in prison for unwise
choices that he once made
Divide the men, cops were sent inside of him
And seeing the good he had within him, let him out again
The life no longer for a big time baller, vic
Big Willies like Will Smith now call the kid (yo Rick)
So check the gift, everything no negative
That's what happens when you steer black folk away from negative
Not to mention chasin' charts, killin' 'em
There'll be a member of the Biz-Mark, Will, and Rick
Demise sent, can't mess with the mindset
Come run with us, December 1999 said
It's all because of you, I'm feelin' sad and blue
You went away, now my life is just rainy days
I love you so, how much, you'll never know
You took your love away from me Oh oh oh oh
You took your love away from me Oh oh oh oh
You took your love, you took your love, you took your love
You took your love away from me
Slick Rick
Will Smith
Biz Mark

True dat, true dat
Jazzy Jeff y'all

What a surpriser
Open your eyes, A
Woman advisor

The name of this entertainement is
Women lose weight
Our first years of mariage everything was just great
But after two kids
And a weight gain factor
The fact is
Now she's completely unattractive
Look fat chicks
I don't mean to sound rude
I tell her nice hit the gym
And don't eat so much food
But no

Your shallow
You need to run the course of unconditionnal love and so forth

But how if desire's is not there
That's just delayment
Divorce is, child support, alimony payments
My happiness i doubt discouraged
So hurry for an easier way out of this marriage
Meanwhile my secretary June well groomed
When you gonna leave your wife
I tell her soon mommy soon i assume
Or my destiny is blue
Interestingly
The only thing left for me to do is to kill her

What a surpriser
Open your eyes, A
Woman advisor

I'm gonna have to kill her

Of course there's laws which enforces divorces

Send that ass right to the morgue miss

My plans against or shenanigans
Kinda ran thin
Knowin' nothing about poisoning
And i can't swim
Bad intentions pumping
Might as well become numb
Cut her lungs or the obvious robbery gone wrong
But the catch is do i have the nerve to dispatch this
Who can i get to help me murder this fat chick
I guess i'll have to play a dude robbin on wednesday
The day she usually goes food shopping
Anyway long story short hit the side of her Chrysler
And sent her clean over the divider
"You bastard" she said as the wreck went tumblin down the hill
I thought "she has to be dead"
Later on get a call
(from a)

Yeah, check, check, I can't, I can't manage I, I can't
(But you must Rick) I can't, I can't manage
(But you must Rick) Ah, shit

Hoes ass kiss cause I'm like Jason, vision
Releasin' me a basket case from prison - Pissed
Blood feenin', the villain like 'Wassup ya'll'
Deep down schemin' how to kill 'em
Misleadin' a bit, although proceedin' a hit
I made 'em feel I'd never jeopardise my freedom for shit
Played the empty headed part,
Though the moment they dreaded start, neat
Back of the head and took the credit card
Seen properly decease,
Made it look like an everyday robbery to police
And I's out
Police believed a thief pop for sureity, a jerky
Alert the rest to beef up security
And not to get flashy, although another blast occurred
Another brother deservin' to get massacred
Pleasure in poppin' that flea
Should a heard mister tough guy coppin' mad pleas
Not insane, nor am I biased
Though feels good to watch a motherfucker die before
my fly ass
Ain't nuttin' to blast, fuck it
Then I put some crack vials in the ass pocket and was off
Police said a thug awaited, since I didn't leave no evidence
A drug related incident

I still clock the mil' figures, cock back triggers
Reason why your girlfriends dig us - cause I kill niggaz

You are my shining star, my guiding light, my thug fantasy
You are my shining star, my guiding light, my thug fantasy

Well I had it up to here, that's why a brother buckin' trife
And gettin' way with murder, this the motherfucking life
At a jam, nine figure on shelf
While your army a nigger snickering among self - thiefs
Who wanna clock the bread off the next
That's why

Well first of all sit your cause I'm Victor
The Ruler decorate a record just like a picture
Slicker licker isn't this vigorous
Motherfucker too Don Suave for any nigga it's
I sold that offender
Short killer note is that I wrote a tremendous
Old neighborhood chow now Rick vow
even rich niggaz must bow now
Extrordinarily handsome grandson
Pack your bags suitcase out the mansion
Any time that you wish that - I flow that
A whole bunch of big shots bums, now you know that
Opinions, wifepiece - hers fat
You wish a rapper could be better than perfect
Candidate, who talk shit anyway
And this is what most bitch walk this planet say

Ricky your rappin is trapped in me
Ricky your rappin is trapped in me
Your rappin is trapped in me
Your vocals is trapped in me
Your voice gets trapped in me
Your lyrics is trapped in me
Your vocals is trapped in me..

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fecal sick of it, through the thick of it
Even my cat like,

One of the greatest rapper, walk - I'm sayin'
In the field makin' my brick without hayin'
Mad busy kid, nah whip cut here
You, boy, drop your bundle bring your butt in
A soldier, what I do to that hood?

Well I shot some there, then I copped some beer
And did a show up in West Bubblefuck somewhere
Due to raps wider ratio, satellites to Nato
Hillbilly draws flew on the stage like tomatoes
Apparently more mack than I thought
Unfortunately wife piece back in New York
And I'm starvin
Being human and open with
A mad fine hillbilly woman was scoping Rick
Thought entered how to lean and bent it
Though I'm not gonna lie I was extremely tempted
(To what, Rick?) To discharge in a sista
Next thing in the dressing room, ""Pardon me, mister""
Yes, I said cautiously
""Crazy, but possibly
you could sign your name on the back of these Dazy Duke shorts for me""
Try to resist, now girlfriend startin' it
The pen won't write, ""You can press down hard on it"" -
Now my hand browsing her South end
Spun around about to shove my tongue in her mouth when
Rring! - Loosen the grip my hell had
My girl, she was talking so nice I felt bad
Being untrue, no telling what it might do to her
""I love you"", forced to say I love you back too to her
Any thought of getting pussy was doomed to:""You got a wife?""
And a verse we coming up soon to -
Got off the phone, cock just got mute
Don't get me wrong it's not like you're not cute (Uh-huh)
I'm wrong for mistreating her, the wanting to skeeting her
""I understand, goodbye, it was real nice meetin' ya""
What an angel overcoming his wrongness
The moral I am trying to get across in this song is

If goodness is what you're filling your soul with
And wanna find a woman you can chill and grow old with
Who keeps no secret, like who they creep with
Realise early it's a 2 way street, kid (Say what?)
Goodness is what you're filling your soul with
And

[Slick Rick]
Check, check, check, check
Check, check.. * Slick Rick starts humming a snake charmer song *
Yeah..
They say.. that Rick Rick is..

You're all garbage, that type talk I'm on
Dumb one becomin glad the great one walks among
Whisperin, couple I scuffle eye
You little feedback niggaz don't want any trouble
Rick'll own clout, sewn bout
Lick a throw now, how til death I kick a bone out
Why pursue for folk object?
My record will be barkin all through your broke project
?? Yes my dog art, best to park her, kark her ??
You don't want death to walk her
Not sayin that ain't nuttin could do me
But in the rap game, all secondary to me
WHOA, whatever I settle
if a nigga wanna eat he better never cry battle
Hell yeah, ram the one sell fare elsewhere
Put you and your family on welfare

Chorus: Canibus

(Ricky D!) Rip it up, your watery blood
ain't thick enough, yo wack niggaz ain't slick enough
Ready and willin to face you, death awaits you
The king piece in the chess game, to checkmate you

[Slick Rick]
Ooooooooooh, twist shot bitch, ?? voter ignores ??
Watch toys duck, consider rap's ultimate voicebox
Devour, and addressin dem coward
How can one man posess so much power?
Rhyme tearin through, bash all trifle
the eyes and spare a few assholes lives
This object brothers are glued to knob lick
'Scuse me, if I'm bein overly rude to public
The favorite make you fall in love, make whoever with
clever kid, make you do the best steps you ever did
The trick is, managin to kick it
It's no such thing as challenging the Slickest
It's double-or-sure shot, crumble before spot
(I know) Must be humble before

Verse 1:
(sung by slick rick)
Seems like yesterday
We used to rock the post
Makin love in the sheets
Like a ghost
Kissin and touchin
And holdin ya close
Kimberly Caire
you've got to know that
Love aint always
What it seems to be
Words can't express
What you mean to me
Even though you're gone
We're still a team
Through ya family
I'll forfill your dreams
In the future
Can't wait to see
If you open up
Your heart to me
Reminis some time
When they took ya Kim
'Try to black it out
But it plays again
When these tears
Are hard to concil
Can't imagine
All the pain I feel
Give anything
to hear half ya breathe
Cuz I know that I'll still love you
'Till my death
Chorus:
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every single day
Every bond you break
I'll be loving you
It's kinda hard
When your not around
To know your at yor window
Looking down
Believe me, girl
I cry for you
Every night
I cry for you
When these tears
Are hard to concil
Can't imagine
All the pain I feel
Give anything
to hear half ya breathe
Cuz I know that I'll still love you
'Till my death
Chorus (2x)

Yeah check check I can't I can't manage I I can't
(But you must Rick) I can't I can't manage
(But you must Rick) Ah shit

[Slick Rick]
Is it a custom - to what? To provoke out a hostile apostle
and make him smack the coke out your nostril
BAP, the butter cat at gutter rappin and I'm all man
Whatever gotta happen gotta happen
Boy don't make me put my grown man shoe in you
And I'm sorry father, for any wrongdoing doin you
Cause dogs barkin and the girl sigh
Here to present myself as the sparkle of the world's eye
Picture I - where Spice Girls chick arrived
England, January 14th, six-five
While you scream out Brannyville
"You old ass rapper!" You got it, but can he still
sever, in other words, rap more clever
like no other younger rapper walkin could ever?
Apparently I done this, on this
Stunned his behind - out the way of who reign
I RUN THIS

"Hurry up, run" * cut and scratched*
"Run, run, run, are-run" * scratched from Run-D.M.C.*
"Hurry up, run" * cut and scratched*
[Rick] Out the way of who reign, I RUN THIS
"Run.. run, are-run" * scratched from Run-D.M.C.*
[Rick] Stop the world kid, bring it home Slick
"run, are-run"

All of you cock pullers are frontin
Wave your arms around like your some octopus or somethin
To better ya
For any chick you want I'm gettin her
Rob people mad ignorant et cetera
Who the one to entertain and fume with?
Who you know breed humans can't be in the same room with?
Reefer sweet wrap it up free fix greet
Every rapper rap maggot underneath Rick's feet
Evicted why you tryin to find shit to lick with?
Even your kids tell you that you ain't shit to Slick Rick
Though you pretend to be glory
I'm number one, that's the end of the story
The black Clark Gable leave you numb
Every single one, frontin on your label is a bum
Let me slow it down, that's enough of that
This I have to say, to you nothing other rapper cats

Chorus: repeat 2X

From New York to Cali none'll fuck with
the awkward, you think Muhammad Ali used to talk shit?
Bing! This sure hit alone'll bury ya
And even I got de-ported, I Own America

[Slick Rick]
He's so crazy I smash rippin up the place
Give the mack a taste I wipe my ass with a rapper face
Cars come to a dead stop
Rain find ways not to drop on my headtop
Tycoon rush at the richest
Even my complexion is a must-have to bitches
Even without, car money to budget
I would have the most elegant apartment in the projects
Knahmean? Bitches are in awe * at the lingo * (pronounced OAR)
Know that Rick'll put an end to all rapper income
An old-timer, lock up all vagina fields
France nor Italy can fuck with my designer skills
Saltin inferior, faultin to where we are
Tryin to find fault in superior
Let me slow it down, that's enough of that
This I have to say, to yo

Back in the day, we slow kiss
And man, I did search for an interior motive
Cuz all your look is sound hype
I wanna see if your worthwhile, settlin down type
God knows there's bigger
So, abserve to see if you gon sweat the next nigga
Oh help me make green light furriers
You know in life you can't race around with no worthless
So continue the sequel
You weighed in the scale and we lived as free people
Then disagree and erupted too
I don't feel my standards are being lived up to
So erection conquers, I ran out, went and had sex in Yonkers
God knows that flakin, jerkin her and not the replace
Great is lookin for

(Chorus)
I thought you didnt love and didn't need (lay hey hey)
I thought you said forever, to decease (lay hey hey)
I swore you were dishonest, do you believe (lay hey hey)
I'll search this world forever, are you real? (lay hey hey)

(Slick Rick)
Low is my time of honor, friend material and not that type of barner
So myself out of chump
Would the problems with having worth that type of jump
Commitment, rig, act cruddy, and regardless, move made and back studyin
Still screamin, thrown and elegance
Grown, don't play, growned intelligence
Fix what bother, and another
If speed's not made, once again, who gonna suffer? Stubborn fools came
The mule came over here wit a girl from the old school name
Though hit and all though back's about wit, memories
And that's about it, Cuz

(Chorus)
Cuz,I thought you didnt love and didn't need (lay hey hey)
I thought you said forever, to decease (lay hey hey)
I swore you were dishonest, do you believe (lay hey hey)
I'll search this world forever, are you real? (lay hey hey)

(Slick Rick)

Check (5X)

Well, let us skip the boring foreplay I'm slidin' right in
This girl over my house who had to be about 19
Ass, hoes in my poster
She's sweatin' although she tried to hold her composure
I hoped she'd take it in the ass and suck dick
(Girl) My my what a nice apartment you got Rick
On her knees about to make her fall
(Girl)

Yeah, know what I mean Rick?
Know what I mean Rick?
Know what I mean Slick, Whoa!
Yeah, whee!

[Slick Rick]
Fine grown Pine-Sol
Heavenly rhyme throne
Remember when you were young in the 70 time zone
Stages, ages about seven I say kid
The dress code of our parents looked awfully outrageous
Not down on em, games and clownin
When soul was at it's highest rate like James Brown 'n them
??, A groovy era acting
Member seeing Shaft in the movie theater back then?
I feel Richard Roundtree got 'em a fly deal
Black man wearin' bell bottom and high heels
Laughed a lot, some action mass production
Remember when cars were darn near half a block long?
Parents were so into that crap
Bunch a sweet memories to us older rap cats
Muhammad Ali knucklin in tournament
Pimp daddy hats with buckles and ornaments
How we forget snappy
Five people sleepin' in one matress and yet happy
Could even make sex seem sour
As I impress the world with my extreme power, cause

Chorus: repeat 2X

Rick make memories sealed in almanacs
Not to mention the immence appeal the mack hat
When you wake up in the morning (redeem from any crap)
Because I bring that love and feeling back to rap

[Slick Rick]
For situated as poor beneficialator
Kool-Aid couldn't last a hot minute in the 'frigerator
School notes, slidin and stealin, hidin 'em
Bazooka, bubble gum cartoons still inside of 'em
No way same essence of ?
Pimps flyest dressin' muthafuckas, weren't they?
But hood lies, you afraid of a good wine?
I used to love the actor who portrayed one on Good Times
You need a friend to ? a soul, man it kinda slow
One thing 'bout a bro, overflow when it ?
Life, a pitiful

One of the greatest rapper walk I'm sayin'
In the field makin' my brick without hayin'
Mad busy kid nah whip cut here
You boy drop your bundle bring your butt in
A soldier what I do to that hood?

All of you cock-pullers are frontin
Wave your arms around like your some octopus or somethin
To better ya
For any chick you want, I'm gettin her
Rob people, mad ignorant, et cetera
Who the one to entertain and fume with?
Who you know breed humans can't be in the same room with?
Reefer sweet, wrap it up, free fix greet
Every rapper rap maggot underneath Rick's feet
Evicted why you tryin to find shit to lick with?
Even your kids tell you that you ain't shit to Slick Rick
Though you pretend to be glory
I'm number one, that's the end of the story
The black Clark Gable leave you numb

[Doug E. Fresh]
Yo, yo, yo fashion and glamour is ammunition
Cats wishing to rip it like this, keep fishing

[Slick Rick]
Enough. Slang it on a phatter to a badder kid-ac

Hit it!
Aww yea!
Yea...
La di da di... la di da di,
La di, la di!

You know what, you peep this,
La di da di, we like to party.
We don't cause trouble, we don't bother nobody.
We're... just some men that's on the mic,
And when we rock upon the mic,
We rock the mic (right!).
For all a y'all, keepin' y'all in health.
Just to see ya smile and enjoy ya'self.
Cause it's cool when you cause a cozy conditionin',
That we create, so that's our mission, so listen,
To what we say because this type of shit happens everyday.
I... woke up around ten o'clock in the mornin',
Gave myself a (strech up), a mornin' yawn and...
Went to the bathroom to wash up,
Had some soap on my face and my hand upon the cup,
I said a (mirror mirror!) on the wall...
Who is the top choice of them all?
There was a rumble dumble,
Five minutes it lasted.... the mirror said,
(you are you concieted bastard!).
Yo that's true, that's why we never have no beef,
So then I washed off the soap and brushed the gold teeth.
Used oil of olay cause my skin gets pale.
Then I got the files, for my fingernails.
True to the style on my behalf
I put the bubbles in the tub so I could have a bubble bath.
Clean, dry, was my body and hair,
I threw on my brand new gucci underwear.
For all the girls I might take home,
I got the johnson's baby powder and the (polo colonge).
Fresh dressed like a millions bucks, threw on the valley shoes
And the fly green socks.
Stepped out the house, stopped short, oh no!
I went back in I forgot the...
Then I dilly (dally) ran through a (alley),
Bumped into my old girl (sally) from the (valley).
This was a girl playing hard to get
So I said what's wrong? cause she looked upset
She said uh, (it's all because of you)
Say what? (I'm feeling sad and blue)
She said what? (you went away)
And now, my life is filled with rainy days.
And I love you so, how much you'll never know.
Cause you took your love away from me.
Now what was I to do
She was crying over me and she was feeling blue
I said, don't cry, (dry, your eye)
Here comes your mother with those two little guys
Her mean mother steps and says to me (hi!)
Hit sally in the face and decked her in the (eye!)
Punched her in the belly, and stepped on her (feet)
Slammed the child on the hard concrete
The bitch was strong, the kids was gone.
Something was wrong I said what was going on?
I tried to break it up I said, stop it, leave her
She said, if I can't have you (she can't either)
She grabbed me closely by my socks
So I broke the hell out like I had the chicken pox
But uh, she gave chase, she caught up quick
She put a finger in the face of mc rick, and said
So we can go cruising in my oj, and what?
I'll give you all my love today.
What? ricky ricky ricky what?
Somehow your words just hypnotize me
And I just love your jazzy ways
Yo mc rick my love is here to stay
And on and on and on she kept on
The bitch been around before my mother's born
I said, cheer up! I gave her a kiss
I said, you can't have me I'm too young for you miss
She said, no you're not, then she starts crying
I says, I'm thirty-four, she says, (stop lying!)
I said, I am -- go ask my mother
And with your wrinkled pussy, I can't be your lover!
To the tick tock and you don't stopf
To the tick tick ya don't... hit it!

[ghostface killah]
Good morning, good morning
Time to get up

Look at the sun so pretty today
It's so bright, it's so smashing
Lasting, helps out the grass and
Smile when it's morning time
Last night I wrote 3 rhymes, I woke up to see the sun shine
If, God is my witness
In scriptures and pictures
The sun kiss scrumptious son, it's nutricious
It makes me wanna climb
Take a bite out of shine
This little light of mine
Yo, the son could never be pussy, he always come out
He'll sit right there, even if you pull your gun out
He can never run out, when the lights go out
If your pants turn out, a herb head spun around
I see yellow and green, it's a beautiful thing
The sky's blue, 'cos the sun hit the water like "bing"
A reflection (uh-huh) and that's all it is (word)
You can't stare at him long, cos your face'll do like this

[chorus - ghostface & slick rick]
Look who's shining again
(oh my my my)
We've been rhyming again
(oh my my my)
Ice be blinding the men
(oh my my my)
We come through time and time again
(oh my my my)

[raekwon]
Check out my nephew
He jumped up in the window just to see you
Look what he drew
A car, house, always wants to be with you
He's just as jolly, he always begging me to let him see you
I'm like "probably if you clean up, and read a little"
You make people eyes glow
You got the weather channel bugging and you stubborn when it snow
You my mentor, mothers name their kids after you
New slang, nothing personal, we knowin what you been through
(sun) you roll like, one in a million yo
(sun sun) you always find like, one in a building yo


We those babies from day one
All I had was you on my birthday baby- think you owe me one
The way the world look when you around
Prisoners get out, look up, run at you and then kiss the ground
You my favourite, I wish we had three more of you
I adore you, plus I even go to the store for you

[chorus]
Look who's shining again
(oh my my my)
We've been rhyming again
(oh my my my)
Ice be blinding the men
(oh my my my)
We come through time and time again
(oh my my my)

[slick rick]
I would die for a sun , can being richer and cruel
Reachin a full 98, and got the kids in the pool
Isn't it cool how it spreads joy, hons lay in it
And it's hard to go back to work, when your lunch breaks finished
? before, so it's a fact I support
Feeling the warm sun rays, upon your back as you walk
The heat-driven, a theory I plung to deep living is
Souls have to go through the sun to reach heaven
And, sensing retreat, our souls badden the scene
Madame believe, since dinosaurs, and adam and eve
That sun's hovered, to the extermination of us
It's a peephole, which leads to the firmament above us

[rza]
Who can take a raindrop
And turn it to 3?
And drawn up 6 miles, over tropical isles
And bring it to the sea

[chorus]
Look who's shining again
(oh my my my)
We've been rhyming again
(oh my my my)
Ice be blinding the men
(oh my my my)
We come through time and time again
(oh my my my)

One-two, one-two

Is there a party over here, with no guns and knives getting' in
Now let and best, get sweat the life threatenin'
Nettin' and suggestin', guest do the restin'
Mic test, KISS, BLS, who the best then?
'Cause when I appear with hoes off a chair with
Stare with, I'm talkin' 'bout a party over here with
Main wreckin', girls I'm checkin', could be naked too
Respect and to remember every one of y'all a second to
Their maxin', gonna be fraction, a fraction, attraction
Ya'll don't wanna see action or askin'
Screw, 'cause you don't what the Rick'll do
Giggle to, well as you can see a butt wiggle too
Fried and spin my bride and move your hide and
Not another jammy on my side and
So cling although desire I'm thin
I'm wonderin', should I begin to kick ya mind or chin

'Cause I'm King

Did ya'll forget who was the man? I'll stand and live kid
You will be bouncin' up and down 'cause I'm a grand individual
Shit you will fear say I'm cheer to dear, disappear,
to where you no where near to
And could never dream, run horse forever and
Clever trap a hooker screamin' I'm yours forever and
Town to town with the b-boy sounds
That has the Ruler Rick announce, which amounts to bounce to
The class and still hum the last and
Smash, jewelry heavy like kids from the past and
'Cause bodies lay about, respect you better pay about
Obey about, 'cause Ricky isn't sweatin' what you say about him
Oh I'm on the clause, silent you're younger boy
Rap bein' strong, 'cause see this is violence you hunger for
So cling those aren't I'm thin, I'm wonderin'
Should I begin to kick your mind or chin, cause I'm King

Like Ceasar, so wanna chill ho on knees for
Please for, breeze, what money grow on trees for
Ten to play, I'm poppin' willie on the way in
Decay, the Rick could make a million a day and
Kid shot, 'cause we on the boy's heart
'Cause the part don't start that's killin' noise fart 'cause
Strive kid, go for the knife it's
One for the trife shit, run for your life it's
As I scrape ho's, graspin' to shape up
Clothes draped, tell me why you blastin' the tape up
And up high to where's your boyfriend tried to be
Ho's fly to Vance Wright, tearin' upside of me
Sewin' ya, sweat so I bone ya
Let nobody clone ya, and get how I own ya
So hoes cling, those aren't I'm thin
I'm wonderin' should I bring to kick ya mind or chin

Cause I'm King

Wake it up Slick, ya know what I'm sayin?

No complaining
Reached the destination and it's rainin'
I'm in Columbia, the Bond steps off the plane and
I hear a holler from a bro with ring around the collar
Here's Chief of Police, greets Bond, tell me to follow
Treated me to everything, no taxin', maxin'
Gives me a hotel suite for me to relax in
Seems everyone was on my silk drawers, McCloud doesn't
Had to bug me he'd have the nerve for jumpin' out the closet
"Word up, dead nigga", said Chief. "How do you figure?"
"Tryin' to arrest me, the Double for the murder of the nigga?"
Now in a cell, but not for long, and now I'm out, I hear a weepin'
One asleep, other sleepin', kept creepin'
Bumped into another, my appearance was alarming
"To who?" Some lady got. God I'm charmin'
Please, the way I rap, I don't even have to say hon'
So who's a Don? You better believe a negro kept girl fond
The name's Bond

Well, I'm outside and it's the chief with twenty deep, psyched the brainiac
Beware because the Double "0" was buckin' like a maniac
'Til nobody left, so hon', nowhere to do correct
Said "excuse me babe, but where they hiding the hooker at?"
"Around the block, but chill at least chill 'til the storm has stopped"
Outside it was a helicopter, sound like it's warmin' up
Grabbed her leg, shot the chief, somebody said "Stop hawkin'"
Shook me off at twenty-thou, the Bond got up walkin'
They was laughing as they left they grew thinner like a rocket
Got the plans from the dying chief of police it's in her pocket
To make it even worse honey gal was definitely rattin'
Was holding her in a club that was happening in Manhattan
I'm on the plane in the day seemed nothin' wasn't phasin'
Except for this stewardess jockin' the Amazin'
But kept my composure, had another honey hon'
Who the Don? You better believe a nigga kept girl fond
The name's Bond

Back at home in New York, I didn't want to get too overfly
You wonder why I pulled out my 535i? (pimp)
Boy I see some lookouts with some girls that was annoys
It was a private engagement for the dealer and the boys
Double just passed the hoods with their faces painted
Walked in, say a good twenty girls fainted
Though guns was all out but seems everyone was shittin'
And man I was so cool I even carried me a kitten
Trouble for the Double? No, I wouldn't swallow that
Who the man with the Golden Gun and all of that
Heard calls of mercy, left blood on the walls of
Rescued shorty who was all on the balls of
Boss said "You're late!" I don't wanna hear none of your dissin'
Upped the cash, made a good twenty million for the mission
Good job, not to mention had that Boss honey hon
So who's a Don?
Better believe a nigga kept girl fond
The name's Bond!

[Sample: "Well, what do you think, Vance? Please, no one can serve us"]

I try to block it out my mind

As you see [at] Ruler show's is inquirin' noses
Goin' into a story about a kid named Moses
Once a prophet was to be born, so for anything else furthered
Pharaoh orders every first-born son murdered
One got away, a girl with profit bound with her
Gently put him in a basket, went floatin' down the river
Then ends up by a Pharaoh relative, ol' honey peeped in
Couldn't breed herself and was determined to keep him
"Don't say a word", she told her slave who was a real witch
"Snitch, it'll definitely be the last day you breathe bitch"
While kids slaughtered, 'cause they was [in] front of them
Soldiers tellin' the king that they murdered every one of them
"Thanks" said Pharoah, guys were a friend to him
Sister showin' her baby sayin' "[on] the river God sent him"
To her brother who arose and said, "whoa sis!"
Curious I suppose this, the upward knows about Moses

As time passed he proved he wasn't the type to beg or borrow
Grew to conquer lands like ain't no tomorrow
Made the son King jealous 'cause he couldn't do what Mo' did
"Pops I'm not to happy the way y'all jockin' this Mo' kid"
"Son, this rash behavior ruins every feast or bash"
"And why complain, now where's the temple I asked you to build, you piece of trash?"
"Two of you switch, Mo' you build it and you'll find a supreme hero"
"Built it. Anything else, you need Pharaoh?"
"King here's startin' to share my crown"
One said, "How can he?"
But sister not takin' any chance and threw the hooker off the balcony
But word still got to King, who then cold cursed Blessed
Stripped him of his honors and dumped him in the desert
But Mo' returned for the people, with his chest stiff out saw
King said, "You want war? Make brick without straw"
That's a son not being king, the shorty no good [a]rose his
Unhappy I suppose this, the upward knows about Moses

The new king said, "As for your threats, brother stuff it"
"Boy, what do I do now?" prayed the Prophet
Then a vision said "chill" and prophecy filled
Scorn build, hails the fire, all their first-born killed
It was gettin' scary for the king, this made the sufferin' go by merrier
"You win, take these peasants, get the flock out of my area"
Poor villain, still in heat, didn't want Mo' to fulfill 'em
Wasn't chillin', "then I'll flat send the troops to go and kill him"
So Mo' parts the sea, went across and said "run" and
Did some ol' abracadabra and water fell upon 'em
The soldiers that is, since Moses was suaver
Then Mo' in the mountains havin' a convo with the father
Came back with the tens, seen pantyhose droppin', partner swappin'
Folks wasn't into what poor Mo' was poppin'
So the Earth shook and killed those, bible text closes
Talked about a time when idle worshippin' foes had met Moses

One day fishin' heard Indian drums
Saw a brother, listen too, wife kissin' too
Then on another mission to
The city with the sistas, though was a far distance
There's Lone Ranger out of area that needed my assistance
To deliver cash, last man got robbed, pimped
He never returned, I said "ok" and put the money in the Fendi
Then bumped into this girl
Looked like that that girl on "Mork & Mindy" and
"How" I said to the white trim, jockin' me the Indian
Comin' in all this heat, the kind for hopin' a chance for ropin' in
"How'd you like to put your Indian teenie in my openin'?"
Said that would be because the nigga wasn't new to this
True to this, double barrel slide out the uterus
Calm, started singin' sad popular songs
Took the money and the hon', screamin' at the top of her lungs
Now on a hunt, "You carry leaf?" I was about to smoke a blunt
No, not without frontal, screw girl pronto, mean Tonto

Was extremely pissed, still picturin' screwin' this (woo, woo, woo, woo, woo)
I don't know why the fuck I'm doin' this
Nuisance, brother's/horse tracks, "whose to choose?"
Saddle loose, both thirsty cuttin' a cactus for the juice and
All of a sudden, these women like model ho's in Paris
Ganged to rape me the Indian, I was so embarrassed
Don't pull a kid a minute, to give in within a minute
'Til I seen a shack yonder, or a couple livin' in it
Shook my hand, friendly manner, though she pack her up and ran her
Couldn't stand her, fondle her feathers like she wanted some banana
Led me to the back of the house, the hands that started track
Used it as my marks and then I nearly had a heart attack
Brush it off, deal with the floss, way past disgusted
Said "what's the matter granny? Is your blind ass dusted"
Back in the hunt, now what do you want, poor granny offered me a blunt
No not without frontal, screw girl pronto, mean Tonto, grandma

Found they're small timers after all, wasn't her intent to brawl
Pulled out my 45, "How y'all" up against the wall
Where's the hooker and the money, here she came, sweatin' mine
Then the bitch is pointin' a pistol at my fine behind
Now she a smart ass, should of figured when getting' off the hottie
So the horse busted in, startin lettin' off the shottie
Killed the men, slapped the girl, cause he figured I'm stuck trapped in
"Come on Rick, a horse cappin'?" Yeah, that's what the fuck happened
Grieve the folks, bleedin', sides red, I'm pleased and
Indeed, now I'll let the Apache kill the bitch, no I need her
Playin' the role, better yet, "well is your pole up?"
Signals from the wife sayin' "what the hell is the holdup?"
Although he scares the honey, hit the switch dares to run it
Caught and scalp the daffy hooker, said "bitch where's the money?"
Gave it up hunt done, she wants a blunt and so it's frontal
That's not what I want, so drop drawers pronto mean Tonto

Now turn around
That's not it
Shut up bitch, I know what I'm doin'
But that's my... oh!
Oh that's it
Stop, you're hurting me
Bitch I could have killed...
Oh shit feels so good
Open your mouth
Put it in your mouth
Play with my balls too
Know what I'm sayin' wake it up Slick

Oh boy, Rick look all sad again.
What's the matter Rick?
It's a long story, check it out

Call me the freaker, I bump it in your speaker
Week of my birthday met this girl named Tameka
Astonishing creature made the rest look tired
Desired, though was it beauty I admired?
Out by the 41, broke, no joke
Can I have a toke, fine hooker so I smiled and smoked
Gave the girl my number, though I still felt rejected
Hectic, called me more than I expected
Months passed by, even lived together and all
Dream come true, until suddenly a call
Oh brother, why do I discover
My honey, Tameka, yeah callin' me another
Broke hearted again, it offend and I pretend
Mistakes of a woman in love with other men

Chorus (4x)
How low can go/Hold it now

Well, tried to block it out my mind, here it was again
Other men, confronted later and she said he was a friend
Didn't believe her, she packed
Brave her, strange behavior, so silly me forgave her
Late again Thursday, alone Rick sat
Left flat, look in the mirror and I wonder where she at
Gave the girl my heart and soul, it's after ten
And again couldn't manage if she slept with other men
Out with my jewelry so you know she looked truck
Struck three o'clock, here she come, fishy like a fuck
"Come here let me smell you", I wanted to say "to hell you"
"Hi honey, sorry I'm late, but let me tell you"
It's a fast chat, need the phone, so I'm roped in
"Could you go to the store and get some soda 'cause they open?"
Again it offend and I pretend
Mistakes of a woman in love with other men

Chorus (8x)
How low can go/Hold it now

Strike one, strike two, no exaggeration
Tried to play it off like it was my imagination
Beer mixed with alcohol, help me to forgive
Deal with weak minded and I have no will to live
I deserve honesty, get treated like a pet
Now she's bein' nice but no I still can't forget
Put the cards on the table, don't get loud, cut the bull out
If you slept with another man, I'm strong enough to pull out
She confessed and then she left, smooth
Wanted to kill myself 'cause to live ain't the move
Broke-hearted again, it offend and I pretend
Mistakes of a woman in love with other men

Once again it offend, and I pretend
Mistakes of a woman in love with other men
Once again it offend, and I pretend
Mistakes of a woman in love with other men
Once again it offend, and I pretend
Mistakes... in love with other men

Just gettin' off my job, 'round Wall Street, with the ties on
Finest girl, a brother think he ever set eyes on
Nice day, weather sunny, as he made a run for honey
With a warm personality, well it's on the money
I'd have tounged her right there, seemed kinda fun up there
Wonderin' there, as he tellin' me he could get the underwear
Meanwhile, still jockin' her, like a real sucka
Sister which was so fine, she could have AIDS, I'll still knock her
Heart beatin' for her since a brother didn't figure meetin'
As I ask her if she's single, "yeah, caught my nigga cheatin'"
"Nice to meet ya". Leaves, she had dope combined features
Watched her walk away and observin' the fine creature
Next day again, went in uninvite[d], super angry with us
Ran into to so much that her and her friends had start to hang with us
They pair and move, though fine, they both swine
"Can I take you out to movies wine, dine, the whole nine?"
She condones, good riddance, nigga slid this on her
Didn't want to get to bone her, though I knew I didn't own her
And I could've made a move, a little will power 'cause although
That she told me she liked him as a friend and that was all
And since hang with us, she already told her, cool he freaked her
The week on my birthday bought me a pair of Gucci sneakers
"Did she like me?" Racin' the thought. "Was it a sign?" Guess it weren't immoral
When she saw me, definitely this is kinda special
Since for this dish, none abate, but everybody wanna play
"How long is money gonna wait?" So I asked a honey on a date
And she accepts, though thought it wasn't much [of] a plan
Windows of the world, even had the nerve to touch her hand
Though not lookin' at. Bashful? No sir
Supposed I was so shy and then the hon' pulls closer
Thought "clever hint", so what she straight, never been so excited
And convinced, kiss in heaven ever since
Holdin' her hand too, chillin', future plan to build
Couldn't believe my dream fulfilled and then that girl began to ill by sayin'

Lady if you will
Say you're the one that sent for me to thrill
Someone that I can hold close in my arms
With all the charms of you
All the charms of you
Of a lady, this world is just for ladies
A heart screams out to ladies
A world of love's for you

"Yes, yes the original"
"Ricky, you the nigga don't forget it" (6X)
"Ok, ok, ok, ok" (6X)

(Verse 1)
Well as you know, thousand tear off they blouse
Bear rounds, have a spouse, try 'member who house
And big hitter in leavin a fitter in literin
Get rid of considerin, rocks be glitterin
Walkin over like a hawk and stalkin, king souls
Every one walkin, one of a batch, want a hatch for a poppin
When a catch for a play in pass four and I'm in rap for
As can vision upon pull, now it's all full to a rich or for the poor
Without no more delays, sissy world flips, ok baby
Because of our way, niggas yell hiphiphoorayin'
Is it? So as the next kiss it, and a sex miss it
Remain the exquisite, as I shower the hits
Best feel, let me see you overpower me twig, 'cause I ship

(samples)

(Verse 2)
Blocks and blocks stare in the jocks
Hip hop the fox, knock niggas out box
Wit the fly green socks and the limelight flappin
It's nothin dap in this, so champion of rappin is
Brother girl fiend brought a jugga
Though I overlook her, being dream but a hooker
Yo who got things sowed, one guessed it, blessed wit kit kat messed wit
Bulletproof vest sweat like doors like Coron'
Hello psycho home, pass that microphone
Hearin, whole world cheerin
None scarin, ain't million dollar ring wearin
So let it me, as the world said it
Cold sweat it, Ricky you the nigga don't forget it
As I shower the hits, best split
Or let me see you overpower me twig, 'cause I ship

(samples)

(Verse 3)
Yo, why in the world is rap white wind
Then sent for a mental, who dance or I enter
Present to the fans, who want a picnic bent
To get sent to spray praises on new found intellect
Though I'm wettable, who fedeble, unedible
Mic said mad incredible
Never heard of us, when your words are dusted
Send you move like murderers, not murderers proud to say
Girls go 'wow' and 'ow' to now show ya how to bow to
Scoop-a, in the train goopa, don't bloop a
What, Rick you playin supa dupa
How Slick? Just, you must get the picture
The one eyed kid, remain victor
As I shower the hits, best split
Or let me see you overpower me twig, 'cause I ship

Eatin' a bit and nap, human being make way spittin'
As I'm skippin' through an alley in New York, a stray kitten
Dog chase couple of blocks, shocks, tough being a fox
He in a tux, some good samaritan'll stuff me in a box
"I'll find you a home. Why do you cry? Where went?" Just like whine
'Cause ASPCA to me a kitten ain't like righted
Constable comes, wonder why? I heard say "unhand the fly kid"
Because the bitch looked like she needed a home more than I did
Word, bit her off another like, not a committee, hit her off
Not to mention, sweatin' the kitty litter off
Had to do this, ain't no regular, see the loot is
With this rich white lady sayin' "Ain't he the cutest?"
Clerk said "all deals are straight", so when the car wheels away
Although the ho' better know I want four meals a day
The rest is firm bein' a trap as the hon' adopt cat
"Better be a good lil' kitty", "hooker don't pop crap"
'Cause I'm Top Cat

"Let me hug him" for the millionth, and again, great... the zillionth
Huggin' me so much, she almost suffocate the brilliant
Sad eyes, plus she had a bad pad, nice
Said I have to do my share of work, the hooker had mad mice
Was like a fleet of them niggas, though it was kind of fun to be
Ill treatin' them, clean the mess, must've thought I was gonna eat 'em
"Cat food?!" This ain't none to me, see a rat, you come run
or like "hunt" to me? "You wanna get this shit from in front of me?"
"Word, Thanksgiving too? Please!" Now shout for somethin'
"Can a nigga get some air?", she wouldn't let me out for nothin'
I guess I could be called a brat and now a jolly ball of fat
So let me rub my head against her, so she think she all of that
And every day of the week, sweatin', works like a sinner, stay off
"Would you lay off? I'm watchin' Prince of Bel Aire, you're in the way of!"
Mouse race across the room, should've seen me stop trap
"You're still a hooker snap, didn't I tell you don't pop crap?"
'Cause I'm Top Cat

Male come and the sex triggers, and his penis stiffer, bigger
Said "boy she sure be sleepin' with a lot of different niggas"
Ten positions as he coaches, do it in the mood above reproaches
I wish the bitch would clean her house, you wouldn't have so many roaches
But still she buggin' and he comin', and the naughty with the hottie
Fall asleep, burglar come, "up shorty get the shottie!"
Tried meowin', nothin' stirred him
The ho's meal blurred him
Peed on the bitch, got up and chased me 'til she heard him
"What was that?" Got her gun, she had a dozen, mad lot
And for a over horny lady, definitely wasn't a bad shot
Police came and all of that and now a hero hops, run to her
So I snuggle up under her, 'cause I've kind of grown fond of her
When a mouse run across, should've seen me stop trap
I Thought the ho' was gonna snap, she better not pop crap
To who? Top Cat

(Verse 1)
Well, I waited long time sweatin it
Gettin jerked but yea I'm gettin it
Early mornin, stiff as dawn and 'em, 'cause a brother give the mornin off
And then we doin in, paranoid to new swearin
I said meet me in the lobby skip
So one could cut down on the cherry tip
Alright, he flyin scat, to being fair to show a mighty that
La Di Da Di wanted Gotti and although depended on the body and
Who I know was gonna runaway, am I to live to serve the next day
When I know she's gonna be wit him, so hallelujah, praise God King

(samples)

(Verse 2)
Checked it out, even candle light I figured out
better handle it my nigga, in
I think the best thing is to block her out
'cause she doesn't give a f**k about
So much change and true it in, you would of cared to wish the u-nion
She's not a phony, turn the Sony off, you better overcome the lonely of
Although a brother lettin that, thus don't know where I'm headin at
To see, even though we fought of it
by bother just the very thought of it
When I know she's gonna runaway, am I to live to serve the next day
When I know she's gonna be wit him, so hallelujah, praise God King
And I know you're gonna runaway, am I to live to serve the next day
When I know you gonna be wit him, can't belive that this is happenin

(samples)

(Verse 3)
Well, I should say fine and phone wit coin
but though you say that I'm the only one
What, behind my back thinkin of, or father not the one I'm thinkin of
On this stress, and when it's gonna end
down wit this burden here I'm wonderin
I know I should say fine fed it yea
and think about all the girls ahead of ya
Though hard for me to just forget he
and try to follow to the letter end
Although the terrible things we riff about
or follow wise that I can live it out
When I know you're gonna runaway, am I to live to serve the next day
When I know you gonna be wit him, so hallelujah, praise God King
When I know you're gonna runaway, am I to live to serve the next day
When I know you gonna be wit him, can't believe this is happenin
I know you're gonna runaway, I know you're gonna be wit him
Seems I know you're gonna runaway, I know you're gonna be wit him
Can't believe this is happenin

[Slick Rick]
Forget about the people before I know tired of
Been through the whole world for what? Tired of bride
But tonight let's talk about the ones who bite
Although they know, they won't ever get it right
Cuz they got no class, and they have no game
And can't find another brother who boost it on pain
And hey hooray, on a one way give me
I pack for ya lover, for them, cuz Slick Ricky is a

[samples]

[Slick Rick]
Walk into a party, come smart and laugh
As the girls go crazy, want me for my dear autograph
And it's me they be admirin, my new style of rappin
And brothers go around me, how I done the insanity
The girls say "wow" they can't spell the hate
Say fellas how you organize the word's today
On my will says "chill" and I do it by my way
Cuz that's how we port son, represent, represent

[samples]

[Slick Rick]
Remember one night when the world was dead quiet
And outta nowhere some boys start a riot
Take off my clothes, I had to throw blows
The shotgun barrel and dead on my toes
The pros, it was people and the knows
Had a bunch of small timers, the people on my show
Surround it and bring it wit my empty shift
And said um, will you teach us how to rap, no doubt

[samples]

As a youth, each sunday, dawn went to church and
Paid her respects and not to mention was a virgin.
Kid pushed up, dawn lettin' him
Since he made her laugh and all the other girls was sweatin' him.
Then things started to move without cause
And a couple o'months later kid's pushin' for the drawers.
Under pressure while exchangin' glances
Dawn finally gives in to the sexual advances.
Although it was a mad high cost for her
'cause' after the thrill was gone, so was the lust for her.
Eventually he left her for another.
Now feeling alone and betrayed by her lover
She cried--for no longer knew which way she headed.
Once dreamed of actually wearing white at her wedding
And really being pure, now she thought she'd die without.
Still she finds strength to continue with her life without
Love...
Without love...
Without love...
Without love...

Verse two of dawn's life--the second segment.
What could be worse than to now find out you're pregnant?
Poor dawn couldn't sleep--laid awake
Not ready for a child and plus her mother's gonna break.
As she doesn't know how she's gonna bring up the subject,
Consequences of being used as an object.
In church though time's runnin' thin
She decides to have the child because the doesn't want to sin.
Props to the girl although it hit hard times;
It was hell finishin' school and working part-time.
Yet dawn did it though her youth went to waste.
Little help from the government, she got her own place.


Hard for an indepentant woman and a kid
And as soon as she could get off the assistance, she did.
Without no man who she once thought she'd die without
Still she finds the strength to continue with her life without
Love...
Life without love...
Life without love...
Continue with her life without love...

While dawn worked two jobs tryin' to meet ends,
Her son was busy cuttin' school and hangin' with his friends.
So when she got words she tried to slap out the taste in his mouth
And explain how important education is.
Under stress, she takes two bufferin.
Son now tired of seein' his poor mother sufferin'.
Starts to sell drugs though the cops did a raid.
Guess who's in the mix, and being legal age
Could do time, please call her employer
To inform her that her son is gonna' need a lawyer.
Never no good news, just more strife.
Dawn barely havin' enough time to live her own life.
Here's the judge's sentence, beggin' and pleadin'.
Now spends nine hours on the bus to go and see him.
Here's the judge's sentence, beggin' and pleadin'.
Now spends nine hours on the bus to goa nd see him.
Without no man who she once thought she'd die without
Still she finds the strength to continue with her life without
Love...
Life without love...
Life without love...
Life without love...
Continues life without love...

And we gonna give you all a little tale about this jail stuff
You know, so rick, why don't you run it homie, yea

(slick rick)

In the slammer kid but I'm innocent
Lord played witty wasn't having any pity
Now wit razor blades, did he
Cry suppose the situation seen mad eyes of foes
Drives a rolls, hey, yo, money, what size are those
Need to phone me toanothe sprang up,hm, to gang up
On the skid, housing the phone like he didn't know how to hang up
Would be hard though ought a minute or so and then yells time on a
And when you get your commisary, buy this and that or else I'm gonna
Be on that ass and won't stay off, extort, fig I say, way off
Beaten death, you ain't protecting me, forgot today's my day off
Hold my head and drift the&nbsp;? sumo weighing nuts and cars?
Instead of sitting here accumulating cuts and scars, behind bars

Chorus:
Dum ditty dum ditty ditty datty day
This type of shit happens every day
Take some punk locked up to get beat down, ripped down to his boots is broke
Down
Dum ditty dum ditty ditty datty day
This type of shit happens every day
Riots, malay and disturbances of the peace

(warren g)

Mister slick rick let me take it for a second
And tell a short tale about the la county jail
9500 that was the lock up
When the lights got dim, it was time for the soccer
Jacking for the money, backstab was my mission
If a riot jumped out, it's time for incision
Sticking niggas here and sticking niggas there
I turn around and look and seen cops everywhere
Jacking brothers up, slapping brothers up
If you got blood on your clothes, lock up
High powered was the level, level fo'
Niggas sentenced to life and you can't be no ho (bitch)
Or you can't tooken wit homies overlooken
As safe next door wit the puma straight cooking


Lighten up the whole module, hm
Godamn, yea, anothe squabble

Chorus

(slick rick)

Showing off 'cause on the phone, click, losing all the hoes off
Nigga housed the watch and&nbsp;? donna? took all of the clothes off
Nigga hell with the was for my clothes figured telling
Every night it seem like mice be in and out a nigga cell and
Still ain't home, like on the hook, seen a bunch of kids look
Miss outdoors, never know what you have until it's tooken
And in fact, the moment you fear, all of that, you quote snaps
Well in a cell, did the exercises and wrote raps
I be a bigger star than you, no never heard of the nigga
Takes my raps and read aloud, I want to murder the migga
Just kidding, no offend to it, finally he ended it
Case dismissed, but your honor, da kindly prevented it
He told to the judge, don't free him, this brother trigger wars
And not just that because I refuse to wash some jive nigga doors
So hold the head, drift the&nbsp;? sunot weight and nuts and cars?
Instead of sitting here accumulating cuts and scars
Behind bars

Chorus

One fight, the nigga trip, seal the rest he might scared
By couldn't squeal, i's like officer that nigga right there
Now if he ain't get me his friends will, needed a utensil
It turn out, I had to stab him in the eye wit a pencil
State of shock, he made a yell, I said, now what you want traitor
Co puts me in the bin, I see ya about a month later
Back in population, didn't matter that his friends tensed
The phone prints, the years added to the sentence
Still chilling and all of that and I escaped
When the damn thing sold, don't hit the sto' cause they made a rape attempt
Thank goodness, failed, call out next, he wail out
Here go the co, ricky walters, back up, bailed out
The co couldn't see the rape, the kid'll snithc mass figure
Fast trigger, you'll be back, you little bitch ass nigga
Au vare, back to dating sluts and stars
At least for now, no more accumulating cuts and scars
Behind bars

Chorus

[Featuring Slick Rick]
Uhh Once upon a time let’s see if I remember
Back in January
Nah chill.....it was December
True...cuz that’s when L started his bid
Partied through the New Year
January third he slid
Up until then yo L had it swell
Called him Sweet Pea like his name was Pe
ell
He did the job money came with ease
Blowing outta town moving bricks and ki’s
Him and his chick in forty G rides
Holding down fort like they Bonnie N Clyde
Luxury cars of all makes and models
New outfits everyday, downin’ champagne by the bottle
Glass in the air (air)
Toast to my team (team)
Toast to my cream and the scotties that beam
While others fiend, I’m abouts da beamer
Think about your girl, just say what (Say what!), I’m a dreamer
Called up CRU
Yo, they probably in the studio
Phil Collins in the background
(Su-Su-Sudio)
Chorus: repeat 3X
Now this ain’t funny, so don’t you dare laugh
Just another case about the wrong path
(Where’s my chick?) Sent her on a mission
Hope she ain’t slip...on that pickup
Yo, who dis on my flip
What! My cash and he fucked her wit dat A
Me and Mitch rollin’ over there quick fast
Rolled up on the spot, (It’s that kid Uzi Ed)
He took me for my paper so just call him Uzi Dead!
Used to run epps wit him back in the day
Mitch popped the trunk
Passed the German AK
You dirty rat! I’m bout to bless that ass
Better take cover from the rat-tat-tat-tat
Uzi Ed, ain’t have a vest, three to the chest, Ed got blessed
L got life, Ed got death
Honey took the money and she slid to the left
Back in the day I told L she was shady
Now she in Cali about to have Ed’s baby
Chorus: repeat 5X
Now this ain’t funny, so don’t you dare laugh
Just another case about the wrong path
(Slick Rick)
Yo, what’s the word, kid?!
Tell you bout a brother named Sid
Got work release after doing a 3-to-life bid
cause of drug logic
Shouldn’t touch it
Now out to budget
With a movie star chick from outta Edenwald Projects
Nice job, took prison camp drives
While he promised up and down to live a civilized lifestyle
The seat off the brow was soon on garment
Both worked
Got themselves a two-bedroom apartment
Great statement, without delayment, away and went
Saved to get a house on one of them low down payments
But an idea concocted his stock
Why don’t we try and tu
this money over on the drug tip
So he gave his man a shriek and excitement
Didn’t know his peeps were under secret indictment
Sick of the path that’ll get you hung by the neck
Sent him back up north to do a super long stretch again
Black folk, you know the half, don’t laugh, it’s...
Just another case about the wrong path
Chorus: repeat 4X
Well, this ain’t funny, so don’t you dare laugh
It’s just another case about the wrong path

Kit, where you goin'?
Sorry, michael, it's rick the ruler, I have to go

Lights, camera, action, you're on,
Get old ricky d, what's wrong?
The crowd's gone,
So help me out kit cause this thief has to be caught,
Radio the chief of police, get a report,
Chief of police said "well, I'm sorry ricky d cause I really can't
Help,"
Ahh drats I think I'll take a long walk,
Kit put your scan on all these rappers in new york,
"but michael's callin' me rick, I got to go,
If I get a word you'll definetly be the first to know,"
Well on that night I felt really up tight,
Hello? , "rick, it's vance wright,
Throw on your clothes, I found 'em, they're down town,"
Word? , "someone's havin' a concert and they're using your crown,"
What? , you sure it's mine?

You know your scratchers? , "yeah, plus I got tape of it,"
Get over my house quick, ride your motorcycle,

"slick rick, this one is it"

Well my tummy was growlin while i'se chillin in my seat,
We stopped by mcdonald's so I could somethin' to eat,
Skipped the line, the crowd started to break,
Hey yo, let me get a big mac and a strawberry shake,
Someone snatched me by my neck I thought I must be dead,
Injected me with somethin', threw a bag over my head,


I felt real weak, word, I couldn't even stand,
I fell, next thing i'se being thrust inside a van,
Unconscious, who could be this shady? ,
When I awoke I was in a room with this lady,
"so your the boss, rick rick with all the clout? ",
Uh-huh know why'm I tied up and what's this all about? ,
And this she left the room this was my one chance for hope,
I used my watch lighter to burn away the rope,
Then i's free, i's free, an alarm was alerted,
I made a flying leap through the window and it hurted,
Someone threw a knife, who could be this trife,
Then I ran and I ran cause i's petro (petrified) for my life,
Stranded and raw I saw a phone not far,
I radioed in to my supadelic car,
Yo, what's with the concert, am I still in it to win it? ,
"yes I'm in manhattan and I'll be there in a minute,
And oh, by the way, I re-listened to your hit, hey rick,"
What's the scoop? ,
"oh man, this one is it!"

Tight tight security, man, there was a (? ),
Came in with some candles and bum rushed the office,
Grabbed up the one who liked to front and pretend,
No, I don't know who it is, some brother lookin' like a hen,
"let me go, let me go, please," you must be dusted,
Hand cuffed this brother cause the thief could not be trusted,
Grabbed up my money and my crown that's how I dissed 'em,
I went on the mike, and dj, man, I'm on the system,
I warmed up the techniques to show he ain't soft,
The crowd was up and this is how it started off,
(who, who, who is the top choice of them all? )
Yo vance, cut, thanks a lot, who wanna die? ,
We up top, somewhat, forget me not,
Class that I have won't last,
Soon as I blast, from out the past, dash fast, and hear a last,
Vance wright, no man can bring you this,
And ricky rick, clean shot, cause I'm the king of this

Here we go,
Once upon a time not long ago,
When people wore pajamas and lived life slow,
When laws were stern and justice stood,
And people were behavin' like they ought ta good,
There lived a lil' boy who was misled,
By anotha lil' boy and this is what he said:
"Me, Ya, Ty, we gonna make sum cash,
Robbin' old folks and makin' tha dash",
They did the job, money came with ease,
But one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease,
He robbed another and another and a sista and her brotha,
Tried to rob a man who was a D.T. undercover,
The cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic,
He said "Keep still, boy, no need for static",
Punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap,
But little did he know the lil' boy was strapped,
The kid pulled out a gun, he said "Why did ya hit me ?",
The barrel was set straight for the cop's kidney,
The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure,
"I'll do years if I pull this trigga",
So he cold dashed and ran around the block,
Cop radioes it to another lady cop,
He ran by a tree, there he saw this sista,
A shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her,
Looked around good and from expectations,
So he decided he'd head for the subway stations,
But she was coming and he made a left,
He was runnin' top speed till he was outta breath,
Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him,
Then he made his move to an abandoned building,
Ran up the stairs up to the top floor,
Opened up the door there, guess who he saw?,
Dave the dope fiend shootin' dope,
Who don't know the meaning of water nor soap,
He said "I need bullets, hurry up, run!"
The dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun,
He went outside but there was cops all over,
Then he dipped into a car, a stolen Nova (?),
Raced up the block doing 83,
Crashed into a tree near university,
Escaped alive though the car was battered,
Rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered,
Ran out of bullets and still had static,
Grabbed a pregnant lady and out the automatic,
Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full o' lead,
He told the cops "Back off or honey here's dead",
Deep in his heart he knew he was wrong,
So he let the lady go and he starts to run on,
Sirens sounded, he seemed astounded,
Before long the lil' boy got surrounded,
He dropped the gun, so went the glory,
And this is the way I have end this story,
He was only seventeen, in a madman's dream,
The cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream,
This ain't funny so don't ya dare laugh,
Just another case 'bout the wrong path,
Straight 'n narrow or yo' soul gets cast(?).

Good night.

(chorus 4x)
A teenage love, A teenage love
Don't, don't hurt me again

(Verse One)
Hey sport, here's a thought from the old school crew
A serious situation we all go through
It deals with your feelins, so hear what I say
It's like a day when nothing seems to go your way
Bust this, two people, they really like each other
He says their's no one else
And she claims there is no other
The feelins the same, and you receive a notion
To reveal your inner thoughts and deeply hidden emotions

(Chorus:4x)

(Verse Two)
Precious times, hopin they won't end
Tell your mother bout your lover
also your best friend
Ya mighty proud while your holdin their hand
Boys, yea that's my woman, and girls, yeah that's my man
This person brings a certain warmth to your heart
And everything seems so great at the start
For she loves him, and he also loves her
And it's hard to turn back to who the person you were
But later on, problems start to occur
And the bond, which combines, y'all turns into a blur
For the feelins were the same, now here's the score
You love them to much, and they don't love you anymore
Is your attitude a number
Or because your not bein true
Or maybe they're just plain sick of seein you
Word, now it might seem strange
You better take hints quick, and make the right change

(Chorus 4x)

See just when you swore the ball was rollin
They're gone and part of your hearts been stolen
get back on your feet with a hop and a skip
but no you'd rather go with this dead relationship
hangin around and buyin them stuff
you see them every darn day yet don't see them enough
you follow them around and they claim your hawkin
when conversation comes you do all the talkin
not to mention attention, we all need a bit
beind your back their say yea he's all up in my
they're gtin sick of you and quite annonyed
and if you had plans for the future they're now destroyed
you saw what was happenin and you still let it
and if you ever let him make love to you girls you can forget it
sweetheart you been caught
an it'll spread around town faster then you thought
then breakup time an you receve the word
yo this is from the heart and I know that part hurts
get over it from now on don't take short slick
if its not true love you shouldn't deal with it
just think of your future and what is to come
and pay attention to the words in this song
they go
(Chorus 1x)
Do you know where you're goin to
do you like the things life is showin you
where are you goin to
do you know
Don't hurt me again(8x)
(Chorus 4x)

Go Go Go Go Go Go
Keep runnin' homie
Go Go Go Go Go Go
They on the trail
Go Go Go Go Go Go
Keep runnin' homie
Go Go Go Go Go Go
They on the trail

All in the grill of the gruesome

Schedule, I aim to be in Atlanta with the legendary Jermaine Dupri

[JD]
Uh huh, I'm more delicious than shit outta cook books
See I'll even make Salvation Army clothes look good (you know)
That divine, so fine, don't even wear the same underwear 2 times

[SR]
JD, not the one to fuck around with
Heard ya got the whole entire state locked down, kid

[JD]
That's right so don't ask us who the best
From the north to the south to the east to the west
We're...

[Chorus]
Fresh, dressed like a million bucks
Still worn the Bally shoes and the fly green socks
We're fresh, dressed like a million bucks
Still worn the Bally sodadadadada socks

[JD]
Come on, kids, Jermaine Dupri a wiz
Walkin' down the street, you kow mindin' my own biz
My man girlfriend started actin' like she hoein'
"Hey JD, where your fine ass going?"
To the studio, I told her frontin'
Unless you wanna take it in the cooler or sumpin'

[SR] For real and that shit ain't a fact?

[JD]
She said that she would meet me at my house around 10
Not to mention, a nice tender body
10 o'clock, here came the red beau hotty
My man girl told totally deceptive
Still I try to fuck the full out the bitch rectum
See, the woman so shady
Talkin' bout actin' like she upped and offed JD
Now she wanna kiss and caress cause i left a couple of bite marks on the hun's
breasts I'm...

[Chorus 2x]

[SR]
When the doubt falls, my door they knock up on
Designers even ask me what they need to stock up on
Why the fuck did ya like to done pest us
When the tag team ya hearin' is untouchable, peasant?
Slick, Jermaine Dupri back as the fat trackers
We'll diarrhea up on your black ass
Babies jump out the carriage
Could even fix the Hillary and Clinton marriage
Charisma now felt
To the point where even I could make even lesbians melt
Models bookin' at me
Could even make her grandmother catch an orgasm lookin' at me (you know)
It's kinda outlandish, rastas even say
"What kind fine young man dis"
So don't put me to the test
From the north, from the south to the east to the west
We're...

[Chorus til end]

check one two
check one two
hey young world
check one two
check one two
young world young world

this track here may cause concern
for all ring leaders
why don't you listen and learn
love peace happiness once was strong
but due to society
even that's turned wrong

why?

don't be a dumb dummy
and disrespect mommy
why?
she put you on earth
and loved you since birth
and you

hey young world
the world is yours
hey young world
the world is yours
young world young world
young world young world

reward is a brainwashed kid gone wild
young little girls already have a child
bad company and now you've been framed
parents are hurting so hurted and ashamed
why?
hell lil kids don't follow these dopes
why?
don't be a fool like those who ditch school
it's yours

hey young world
the world is yours
hey young world
the world is yours
young world young world

get ahead
and accomplish things
you'll see the wonder and the joy life brings
don't admire thieves they don't admire you
their times are limited
and hardrocks too
listen be strong
and scream
woopie doo
go for yours
cause dreams come true
you'll make your mommy so proud of you too
and this is a message that the ruler rick threw

why?

(slick rick)
elders see our wise ones grow
interest in what their kid learned 'bout
seen how the offspring turned out
knowing you can now safeguard self
put upon an exciting path
you see immense pride they'll have

hey young world
the world is yours
hey young world
the world is yours
young world young world

don't discipline rule soundly
kids that we have lose boundaries
grow into what's called curse race lack independence
worst case imprisonment death near for
not what we brought kids here for
norals and values of sorts should be the first thing installed

believe it or not
god still shines on you
he guides you
and he watched you as you grew
stay out of trouble
when it comes insight
cause a man never loses a fight in god's sight

Here we go,
Once upon a time not long ago,
When people wore pajamas and lived life slow,
When laws were stern and justice stood,
And people were behavin' like they ought ta good,
There lived a lil' boy who was misled,
By anotha lil' boy and this is what he said:
"Me, Ya, Ty, we gonna make sum cash,
Robbin' old folks and makin' tha dash",
They did the job, money came with ease,
But one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease,
He robbed another and another and a sista and her brotha,
Tried to rob a man who was a D.T. undercover,
The cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic,
He said "Keep still, boy, no need for static",
Punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap,
But little did he know the lil' boy was strapped,
The kid pulled out a gun, he said "Why did ya hit me ?",
The barrel was set straight for the cop's kidney,
The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure,
"I'll do years if I pull this trigga",
So he cold dashed and ran around the block,
Cop radioes it to another lady cop,
He ran by a tree, there he saw this sista,
A shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her,
Looked around good and from expectations,
So he decided he'd head for the subway stations,
But she was coming and he made a left,
He was runnin' top speed till he was outta breath,
Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him,
Then he made his move to an abandoned building,
Ran up the stairs up to the top floor,
Opened up the door there, guess who he saw?,
Dave the dope fiend shootin' dope,
Who don't know the meaning of water nor soap,
He said "I need bullets, hurry up, run!"
The dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun,
He went outside but there was cops all over,
Then he dipped into a car, a stolen Nova (?),
Raced up the block doing 83,
Crashed into a tree near university,
Escaped alive though the car was battered,
Rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered,
Ran out of bullets and still had static,
Grabbed a pregnant lady and out the automatic,
Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full o' lead,
He told the cops "Back off or honey here's dead",
Deep in his heart he knew he was wrong,
So he let the lady go and he starts to run on,
Sirens sounded, he seemed astounded,
Before long the lil' boy got surrounded,
He dropped the gun, so went the glory,
And this is the way I have end this story,
He was only seventeen, in a madman's dream,
The cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream,
This ain't funny so don't ya dare laugh,
Just another case 'bout the wrong path,
Straight 'n narrow or yo' soul gets cast(?).

Good night.

[Intro: Mos Def]
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, power
Mad Liberator, Def Operator
Rock the data, amazing flavor

[Verse: Mos Def]
Yo, the way I feel, sometime it's too hard to sit still
Things are so passionate, times are so real
Sometimes I try to chill, mellow down, blowin' smoke
Smile on my face but it's really no joke

You feel it in the street, the people breathe without hope
They going through the motion, they dimming down the focus
Their focus get cleared, then their light turn sharp
And the eyes grow teary, the mind grow weary

I speak it so clearly, sometimes ya'll don't hear me
I push it past the bass, no nations got to feel me
I feel it in my bones, black, I'm so wide awake
That I'm hardly ever asleep, my flow forever deep
And it's volumes or scriptures when I breathe on the beat

My presence speak volumes, before I say a word
I'm everywhere penthouse, pavement, and curb
Cradle to the grave, tall cathedral of a shell
Universal, ghetto life, holla black, you know it well

Quiet storm, vital form, pen pushed it right across
Mind is a vital force, high level right across
Shoulders, the lions raw voice is the siren
I swing round, ring out, and bring down the tyrant
Shocked a small act, could knock a giant lopsided
The world is so dangerous, there's no need for fighting
Suttins trying to hide, like the struggle won't find him
And the sun bust through the clouds, to clearly remind him
He's everywhere: penthouse, pavement, and curb
Cradle to the grave, tall cathedral of a shell
Universal, ghetto life, holla black, you know it well

[Chorus: Mos Def and Slick Rick]
What it is
You know, they know
What it is
We know, ya'll know
What it is
Ecstatic, there it is

Huh, what it is
You know, we know
What it is
They know, ya'll know
What it is
You don't know?
Here it is

What it is
You know, we know
What it is
They know, ya'll know
What it is
You don't know?
Here it is

[Ad lib: Mos Def]
Peace, power, fantastic, original
And always on time, and rocking your mind, it's like

[Verse: Slick Rick]
Sit and come relax, riddle of the Mack
It's the patch, I'm a soldier in the middle of Iraq
Well say about noonish, coming out the whip
And lookin' at me curious, a young Iraqi kid (Awww)
Carrying laundry, whats wrong G? Hungry?
No, give me my oil, get fuck out my country
In an Arabian market, other stuff
Till his moms come grab him, and they walk off in a rush

Distrust, bitter like I's pissed off on moon
I'm like "Shorty, hope that we can fix our differences soon! Bye!"
Buying apples, I'm breaking 'em
Brooklyn take everything, why not just take the damn food Black bastard
I don't understand it, on another planet?
15 months of this stuff, how I'm gonna manage?
And increasing the sentiment, gentlemen
Getting down on their Middle-Eastern instruments
Realized trapped in this crap
Walk over, kicked one of my fabulous raps (La-dee Da-dee)
Arab jaws dropped, they well wished, they glad wrapped
Now the kid considered like an Elvis of Baghdad

[Mos Def and Slick Rick]
What it is
What it is

[Chorus: Mos Def and Slick Rick]
What it is
You know, they know
What it is
We know, ya'll know
What it is
Ecstatic, there it is

Huh, what it is
You know, we know
What it is
They know, ya'll know
What it is
You don't know?
Here it is

What it is
You know, we know
What it is
They know, ya'll know
What it is
You don't know?
Here it is
