Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slick, slick
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most
I rock the house
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slick, slick
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most
I rock the house
[Verse 2]
Who put the jazz into hip hop funk?
It's me, chump, the originator with the flavor
Just a like a fine tuned sax, I'm all of that
I'm gettin' phatter than phat to be exact
So when you step to see the man command
Don't get too close, unless you can withstand
The pressure, 'cause now I'm the aggressor
Callin' you out to test skills
Let's see who gets props and who gives the best thrills
Chill, kid, you gotta acknowledge
I'm like dope, yeah, that's what you could call it
Or better yet to say I'm slick
[Verse 3]
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slick, slick
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slick, slick
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most
[Verse 4]
The word is out, Guru's got all the clout
And when I'm rappin', the fans just shout
'Cause I be givin' what they want, yo
Lyrics are tight, with much insight, bro
So never second guess the smooth one
And if a sucker tries to diss, then I'm the rude one
'Cause I can kick it, you know I rip it
Yo, pass the brew so I can sip it
I'm wicked when it comes down to the rhyme
So in '93 I'm takin' what's mine
And this you got to acknowledge
'Cause I'm slick, so watch me clock the dollars
[Verse 5]
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slick, slick
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most
I rock the house
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slick, slick
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most
I rock the house
[Verse 6]
Boom ya ras clot, you're gettin' burned on the spot
Know ifs or buts 'cause I'll go nuts
I never take a short, I rap for more than sport
So now you're caught down to your last resort
Whisperin' behind my back just like a pansy
I'll break an MC's neck, yes, I can, G
So chill, 'cause this you gotta acknowledge
I'm slammin', yeah, that's what you could call it
Or better yet just say I'm slick
'Cause I'm demolishin' rappers, lickety split
You know I'm slick
Mmm, you know I'm slick
Mmm, you know I'm slick
[Verse 7]
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slick, slick
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slick, slick
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most
[Verse 8]
I rock the house
I rock the house
I rock the house
Slick
Slick
Slick
I rock the house
I rock the house
I rock the house
I rock the house
