What is an MC
Coolio

Yo, the G is off the chain when you come round here

Better watch what you claim when you come round here

You can do your thing when you come round here

But it's blessed that you can hang when you come round here

Ain't no playin games when you come round here

Weak niggas feel the flame when they come round here

We tryina make it bang when you come round here

Everything ain't the same when you come round here

DJ's pump the bass up

And pull the lights back

It's time to get it crackin and we love it when it's like that

Ain't no reason for no treason

So put the hater-ray down in this new millenium season

Who you gon' believe in while you're cheesin?

Ain't no logic or no reason in your teachings

I'm steady on the grind round while you're reachin

So just sit and look and listen, hear my twenty screechin


What is an MC if he can't rap?

How you gonna throw up from the shoulder and can't scrap?

Twenty-five with a L, ain't no gettin back

Where niggaz do it all, homie just like that

What is a DJ if he can't scratch?

How you gon' keep on trickin and stay fat?

Jump your ass in a gunfight without no strap

Where niggaz do it all, homie just like that


You can be yourself when you come round here

Ain't no titles or no belts when you come round here

Keep your game on stealth when you come round here

But be about your wealth when you come round here

You get cut and left when you come round here

So don't let 'em see you sweat when you come round here

We'll be makin busters melt when they come round here

So you'd better check yourself when you come round here

We be gettin gangsta with it all through the weekend

Get your lazy ass up, no time for sleepin

Call your homegirls up, jump in your jeep and

They ain't ready when you come, then you're leavin

You're goin to the club, it's time for freakin

You ain't got no ID to try to sneak in

It's on and crackin once again you cheat the G-game


Just open up your mind, no time for tweakin


What is an MC if he can't rap?

How you gonna throw up from the shoulder and can't scrap?

Twenty-five with a L, ain't no gettin back

Where niggaz do it all, homie just like that

What is a DJ if he can't scratch?

How you gon' keep on trickin and stay fat?

Jump your ass in a gunfight without no strap

Where niggaz do it all, homie just like that


Fat meat is greasy when you come round here

So don't be acting cheesy when you come round here

You might go off the heasy when you come round here

And we'll still be bumpin Eazy when you come round here

You better watch the greedy when you come round here

Cos some of these fools are sleazy when you come round here

Give to the needy when you come round here

But understand you can't defeat me when you come round here

Most stack a grip, trip and roll with some new friends

Some'll sell their soul to the devil just to chip in

Some'll lie, steal and rob their mama just to get ends

Which one is you nigga?

Where do you fit in?

But this thing don't stop just cos you's a trick

And hatin cos you ain't rich, you's a bitch

we gon' dip like the old school, c'est la vie

Hop your tread like me

Watch what you say and get paid like C


What is an MC if he can't rap?

How you gonna throw up from the shoulder and can't scrap?

Twenty-five with a L, ain't no gettin back

Where niggaz do it all, homie just like that

What is a DJ if he can't scratch?

How you gon' keep on trickin and stay fat?

Jump your ass in a gunfight without no strap

Where niggaz do it all, homie just like that
