As I was sayin’

As I was palyin’

Start obeyin’

Stop delayin’

This is a way in

Gotta stay in

Something’s sprayin’

Something’s swayin;

No decayin’

No complainin’

Ah jus flow to the beat

So discreet—ly

            Smooth-ly

            Neat-ly

Let me see if ya still

Got tha skill

And tha will

Go until

The space is fill

Or there’s a spill

 

Yo, once upon a time ago I thought I couldn’t swing this

But now I’m more confident I guess I could bring this

No peps for the man

Who could not hang

And who would not

There’s my black butt

Blow it a kiss

 

Hey ya thought I couldn’t hang you thought I wasn’t down

Well now it’s proven I can rip the mic to any funky kinda sound

So one o’ clock Two o’ clock 3 o clock 4

Five o clock, six o clock 7 o clock more

8 o clock 9 o clock ten o clock eleven

And even afta 12 I’ll keep on rappin

Cause I got the swiftness

I got the lyrics

I got more than you can handle

And I got the spirit

 

Somebody told me I was born to do this

Somebody told me I was born to die

Some poet told me I live in my music

And some loser wanna spit in my eye

Just get your messed up mind away from me

My mind I have cleared to set me free

And there’s a level of consciousness turning in my head

And it will keep on burning even afta I’m long dead

So what’s the news

That you’re gonna lose

Whe you’re so confused

Bout the life you choose

Well I guess that I have said what I have to say

And I play my mind when I got to play

So as I was sayin’

I’m out

So have no doubt!
