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