Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They got a committee to get me off the block
'Cause I say my rhymes loud and I say 'em non-stop
'Cause being bad news is what we're all about
We went to White Castle and we got thrown out
[Verse 2]
I got my boy Mike D, I got the King Ad-Rock
I got the jammy with the ammo inside my sock
I shot homeboy but the bullet was a dud
So I reached in the Miller cooler, grabbed a cool Bud
[Verse 3]
Slow-riding, gun-hiding, on the go
I'm fly like an eagle and I drink Old Crow
I'm the King of the classroom, cooling in the back
My teacher had beef so I gave her a smack
She chased me out of class, she was strapped with a ruler
Went to the bathroom, rolled myself a wooler
With bottle in hand at the microphone stand
"Ay yo, homeboy, what you drinking, man?"
[Verse 4]
I got money
I got juice
I got to the party and I got loose
I got rhythms
I got rhymes
I got the girlies with the def behinds
I got ill
I got busted
I got dust and I got dusted
I got gold
I got funky
Got the new dance, they call it the Brass Monkey
[Verse 5]
Because I'm hard hitting, always bitten, cool as hell
I got the trees on my mirror so my car won't smell
Sitting around the house getting high and watching tube
I'm eating Colonel's chicken, drinking Heineken brew
And I'm a gangster, I'm a prankster, I'm the King of the Ave
And I'm hated, confrontated for the juice that I have
All the fine ladies are making a fuss
But I can't pay attention 'cause I'm on that dust
