Listen to the rhythm and do your dance
Tryin' to imitate, or better emulate
Some people wanna dance, some people wanna listen
My vocabulary's over their head
Peace and love, conquerin' hate
Party people in the party only wanna dance
(Here we go again)
And word has it the brother's esoteric knowledge
So I gotta come with the watered-down sound
Come on
(Here we go again)
To be known as the great
Some rappers can't rap and try to hide it with a curse
I am the brother that sets tempo
My versatile styles, I'm able to adapt
But they would rather just watch me go
(Yeah, y'all come on)
A positive brother? Yeah, yeah, we know
(Go go go go)
(Yeah, y'all come on)
They would rather me change my rhymes
Check it out
Long as it's movin' on a funky track
(Yeah, y'all come on)
Intelligent, relevant, eloquent speakin'
Money in the pocket, gold around the neck
I drop science for the brothers on the street
And here we go again
'Cos I can pick the beat up and turn it around
Go with the flow? No, no, no
Candy-coated, sugar-coated bubblegum rap
Rock-the-body-body-body-body, here we go
(Go go go go)
Only real brothers wanna hear real rhymes
Raise your conscience and rock your body
If you can't relate, just clap your hands
Some people at the party only wanna hear the dissin'
(Go go go go)
Turn any jam to a political party
Rings on every finger, boomin' system in effect
Become irate, while the ladies irate
So now I gotta tone down the sound
So all you sissy-soft suckers gainin' weight
Around and around and around we go
Here we go
Here we go
With mediocre adjectives, verbs and nouns
I got a date with faith
Is a little too deep for the fans
Come on
I am a brother, young, gifted and black
And I'll just party with the alter ego
I'm lyrically potent, very well versed
Rather than tryin' to change the times
Got a funky rhythm, now watch me go
Like the creator I love to create
(Here we go again)
Intellects get it, and others want the beat
The live lyricist is here and it's so
They can't understand a word I said
Here we go
(Here we go again)
There's no need for the profane rap
Yeah yeah
I tone down the lyrics, suppressed ego
It's hard to rock a party when you're lyrically advanced
If I get too deep, then you won't relate
Come on
Kool Moe Dee's in the house again
All the soft suckers want the nickel-and-dime
You know I'm talkin' shit 'cause I'm all that
(Here we go again)
Infatuate, lust and mate, mental state, compensate
The way they feel I could be erased
You do the dancin', I'll do the freakin'
All they want is you to pump that bass
I can relate, but I rather innovate
The word is out
I got a funky beat to let you know
So he gon' come this time with a simplified rhyme
People comin' to the jam to hear me flow
