|
I do work and I'm workin' it with the will of a warrior |
|
I'll take on 54 of ya, nah, I'll even take more of ya |
|
Competition is great, and keeps me in shape |
|
And it's mentally stimulatin' |
|
Competitors constantly contemplatin' challenge |
|
Champion's written all on my face |
|
And I'm smirkin', and lurkin' back in the back |
|
Attacking and hacking and jacking |
|
Smacking up losers that's lacking |
|
Characteristics of poets, they blow it |
|
Tryna show it, yo if I'm flowin' they know it, so it |
|
Compels me to step and release the rhymes that I kept |
|
In case of an urgent emergency then these words'd be weapons |
|
Any discrepancy heard'll have to be handled in haste |
|
At any pace when I step in the place, cos I came to do work |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
Lyrically thorough, I'm from the borough of Manhattan |
|
And when I moved to the Bronx, then I got into rappin' |
|
Funky beats would control me |
|
It's like the mic would say hold me |
|
I do a solo, me only |
|
I'd be alone but not lonely, cos |
|
Eric would back me |
|
The only track would be doubles |
|
And when the rappers attacked me |
|
They'd end up buried in rubble, cos |
|
We never took losses, opposing forces proceeded |
|
But they retreated, receded, beat it defeated |
|
We did repeat it as needed |
|
Kept 'em seated and some felt cheated |
|
Gave 'em all second tries and still I superseded |
|
I'm a souped superior subsidiary of soul |
|
I keep the crowd in control, cos I do work |
|
[Verse 3] |
|
I got a need and it's bleedin' |
|
Inside of me to say words |
|
Cos it's my choice and I'm voicin' |
|
Just what I think should be heard |
|
To a sleazy easy goin' |
|
Lazy laid back track |
|
The pace is slow, the bass is low |
|
And yo, I'm ready to go |
|
Do my job, I'm obligated, devoted and dedicated |
|
And loaded and motivated to show that I know the way that it's |
|
Supposed to be done, that's why I chose to become |
|
Professional in this profession, droppin' rhymes on drums |
|
It's automatic that static comes automatically to me |
|
I've had it for longest been at it |
|
So call it fad, it doesn't |
|
Sweat me or get me uncivilized like a savage |
|
I play it civil and give all I got to keep up the image of |
|
Rap cos I happen to be a rapper and poet |
|
Not just rappin' to be rappin' in case you didn't know it |
|
Here's the deal, cos I feel |
|
You oughta be up on what's new |
|
With the rhyme it's time for me to do work |
|
Cos I got work to do |
