| 25 years ago a friend of mine | |
| asked me to say some mc rhymes | |
| so i said the rhyme i'm about to say | |
| the rhyme was def and then it went this way | |
| took a test to become an mc | |
| dj run said "d, come and rhyme with me" | |
| so i climbed inside of larry's cadillac | |
| the caddy drove off and we never came back | |
| the car we drove, it was the car called rap | |
| that's the way it is and it's like that | |
| i gotta give props to all hip hop | |
| and i'm gonna keep rhymin 'till the day i drop | |
| chorus: | |
| just as i suspected, you can't touch me | |
| d to the a double r y ello | |
| you wanna know why i'm still raisin hell | |
| and you stand corrected by dmc | |
| i'm fine like wine | |
| i get better with time | |
| and all the young girls sing "do do do do do" | |
| sucker mc's make history | |
| and everybody in the streets wanna be an mc | |
| i thank hip hop for adopting me | |
| and helpin me get where i got to be | |
| some people seem to think that to be an mc | |
| you need a closet full of clothes and iced out jewelry, | |
| pocket full of dollars, cars in every flavor, | |
| (somethin somethin) behavior | |
| sorry to say that's how it was before | |
| but people aren't goin for that no more | |
| you gotta give a performance 'cause by now you should know | |
| that you're givin a party not a fashion show | |
| oh oh oh-oh | |
| just as i suspected, you can't touch me | |
| d to the a double r y ello | |
| you wanna know why i'm still raisin hell | |
| and you stand corrected by dmc | |
| yeah | |
| everybody wanna rap, but that's not all | |
| but a real mc, you do not call | |
| cause you can't write a rhyme at a quarter to two | |
| you need a real mc before the jam is through | |
| now fake @$$ rappers got (something) | |
| you need to take a record from childhood back(?) | |
| just as i suspected, you can't touch me | |
| d to the a double r y ello | |
| you wanna know why i'm still raisin hell | |
| and you stand corrected by dmc |
