[ VERSE 1 ] Aiyo, stop what you're doin, kid, here comes the tracks From the heart to the head to the pen to the wax And then to the store and the video channel I'm not the Black Crows but I'm still 'hard to handle' I don't wear sandals, I'd rather wear kicks When I chill with the fellas and I watch the Knicks See, I run things like Judge Wapner in the court I'm like New York in the winter cause I take no shorts Or no sports, but I know something too Gimme the mic and 4 minutes and I show what I can do Fu Man Chu was a famous oriental And Katmandu made a funky instrumental I don't get sentimental, even with a honey dip My chorus line a rental cause I have a pink slip And I won't flip as I make my way through this So check it cause I got a record, yo, and we can do this

(What, what, a say what?) Yo, we can do this (What, what, a say what?) Yo, we can do this (What, what, a say what?) Yo, we can do this (What, what, a say what?)
