(chorus)
Tell me what does it take?
When u wanna be greeeeat?
(Hol up)lemme get my cape
But umma need my cake..
———–
Hiphop started out in the park
But gettin paid wasn’t part of the art
So when Cats’d be rappin it was from the heart
&And it was so dark we all saw the sparks————-
We’d lissen when they talked learn what they taught
Like stay Fly like a kite on a day in march
&bitin wasn’t right-alla dogs’d bark!
U gotta be fresh serve it alaCarte—-
U wan make yo mark spray yo tag
Rep yo block pull out yo pad
Butchu don’t rock& thas yo ass
Cuz this hiphop not the same old jazz—
I aint hatin cuz man that aint my bag
But I’m jus sayn sumtimes I do get mad
Like where da pizazz mcs used 2have?
One more fag tell me they got swag….

Why u chasin that girl homes? she’s a skeezer
Who aint what she seem like condoleeza
I’m tight w/my money like ebenezer
But they know I’m in charge tho ¬ cuzza visa
Broke ass bitch swear she’s a diva
But Ive had more hoes than queen latifah
&I’m so cold they get shivers& fever
The game don’t lover& I don’t care neither—-
Follow the leader across the bridge
Got a gorgeous wife& I got 4kidz
U wanna wear my shoes but them shits too big
I know u aint a G I see how u live—
Been husslin for years still aint get no crib
Thinkin like me a prolly splitcho wig
Im real as it giz- I’m built for biz
If I gave cats a shovel they still couldnt dig
==============
Where’d it all go wrong I think I understand
Public enemy brand Nubian xclan
Would talk alotta shxx while u threw up ya hands
“Fight the power” while they work for the man
Then the kids see masterP, baby& slim
Start way at the bottom& they still win
Witout pickin cotton they sittin on rims
Why wouldnt we wanna be like them?
Yeah TooShort& iceT would talk bout pimpin
But first they got money then came the women
Started wit rags then came the linen
&these are the facts this is not opinion
Can’t pretend when i know right from wrong
Take for instance most nites i perform
They act like they hustle on the microphone
But End of the nite they need a ride home
