Let me brag mineHit this in the 90'sHey yo, bust it (here I go here I go here I go)As I, stand as a pharoah and beat up on ElizaTrick ends on my friends, cause Puba's not a miserLast longer than a Duracell, or a EnergizerI got a little older but a whole lot wiserWhen it comes to shootin ? I'm a damn good shooterMC Grand Puba should be worshipped like a buddhaI boogies to the rhythm, kicks all the flavortismDamn I gets busy, though makin rhyme I gets bizmAlways help another meaning sister or a brotherJust a little tip I picked up, from my motherSmooth as Ali Baba once I week I see the barberSo honey pucker up cause I'm a DAMN good slobberMr. Exquisite, dressed in silk, Bally's made of lizardSo honey, what is it? (What is it?)I rock a rhyme at a wedding, next tour I'm probably headingYou wanna beat like this? Check the stack of Otis ReddingI'm hurtin like a blister, confusin like TwisterNot a only child, four brothers and one sisterNot a rinky-dinky never snackin on a TwinkieWhen it comes to flexin I can bend like a SlinkieSo here comes the champ, to civilize a trampWhen brothers try to play me, that's when the Pub' gets ampedSo smile - here comes the picture - click!A humble type brother so don't play me as a vic'I can relate to the Good Times, the Cosby's on the sometimesGo ? on a Sunday then it's back at work on MondayTake my gear to the cleaners, buy pants or a BeamerThen I'm out, bangin crackheads, I can do without(Definitely, why not Puba? Why why why?) Cause it's ragtime* ad libs to outro *
