(Do this) (Boom shakalakala boom) This drummer wicked (Do this) [Verse 1] You were just conceived on a Friday night I was on stage wasting brothers in a real fight Everytime they copped my space down I worked it harder Stripped down to my underwear and spanked them like they father Never before had people seen a vision so bizarre Play a hand that's equal to mine Uh, look at my cards I heard your little groove and I raised you Another On a Sunday morning would you play that smack for your mother? Huh, I believe you would think otherwise A few CDs from now when the software that you're banging's not alive In a real battle those loops y'all got suffer TKO's Until U're playing in front of 70,000 you'll never know, nigga This a grown folks job All the young dogs need to recognize If the world was God, the people need to use it with a third eye Who? What? Why? Uh, lookout [Refrain] And if I didn't try to school you I would be remissed You should I do that when I can do this? (If a nigga never stylin', who would I diss?)
