|
Come now |
|
Yes |
|
Now everyone comes in and says that they are |
|
The lyrical champion |
|
But of course there is only a few |
|
That can really stand by that |
|
Come now |
|
[CHORUS] |
|
Rhymin skill, rhymin skills (bo!) |
|
Yes, D-Nice, you got the rhymin skills (come now) |
|
Rhymin skill, rhymin skills (bo!) |
|
Yes, D-Nice, you got the rhyme |
|
[VERSE 1] |
|
The TR 808, and I cultivate with this trait |
|
Nobody can imitate or relate, cause I'm the great (say what?) |
|
Here's your fate, put your weight down on it |
|
And if you try to step to me, I make you pay down pon it (bo!) |
|
Cause I'm the one, and some compare me to the drum |
|
The lyrics and bass combined will make your sound system hum |
|
So when I come you should bow down greatfully |
|
Cause even if you're protected, ya can't face the D |
|
Cause the microphone is just a crumb in your possession |
|
Considerin that I take the cake in this profession |
|
So here's a lesson on the bass with smooth deliverance |
|
And it's called the 'TR 808 experience' |
|
[CHORUS] |
|
[VERSE 2] |
|
There's no mistakin, there's not another brother great when |
|
I step in the place, step out my face with the haste, and |
|
Cause I'm the TR 808, and |
|
Rippin the mic up, in other words you know I'm breakin |
|
New grounds with my sounds, so don't consider |
|
Tryin me (say what?) cause I don't pop the glitter |
|
On my gear, no, not even a tiny bit |
|
I'm Nice, not Ice, so I don't rock the shiny shit |
|
I rock my Nikes instead when I strut (say what?) |
|
I may rock a ring when I feel, but so what? |
|
My rhymes are sharp, so they cut |
|
You're on my tip so much, I mistake you for my cup |
|
Yeah |
|
Right about know I want all y'all suckers to know this is real |
|
(Yes, D-Nice, you got the rhymin skills) |
|
So anyone who cannot go with the flow that I throw |
|
I get the dough, and oh - now you know |
|
I got the |
|
[CHORUS] |

Ease up and hold tight |

All Brooklyn massive |

All Bronx massive |

All Uptown crew |

The mighty D-Nice come down ruff and wicked |
|
Pop this in your cassette |
|
The Don [Name] must rule everytime, seen? |
