Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, funk
Record mode
Yeah, slow down, baby
Uh, slow down, baby
Uh, slow down, baby
Yeah, uh, slow down, baby
[Verse 2]
Yeah, LL Cool J in the house, know what I'm sayin'?
EPMD in effect, snappin' necks, cashin' large checks
All the non-believers can cold get the dick , y'know what I'm sayin'?
'Cause this is daddy mack, king of the bozack
All my friends knows that
Mix the master down
As I kick it like this
[Verse 3]
'Cause you can get rugged, tough, hard like P
Tried to play my man but you couldn't touch me
You faggot, no comp' rapper on a quest
To get your head flown, boy, you must be loc' on sess
'Cause many often wonder is M.D. paid
You're God damn right, punk, stay outta my way
'Cause I clock G's while you clock Z's
And I don't smoke crack, I smoke MC's
So pick up a pen, cop a squat, and take note
A rapper suffered from bleedin', sprains and slit throats
'Cause my style deadly, psychopath, schizophrenic
A rapper choke like a carburetor, freeze up and panic
'Cause I clock pesos, don't sell yayo
'Nother word for cocaine, mi amigo
That's Spanish, terminology for friend
Now sit back and ride my bozack as I send
Bass funk, with beats that thump
For speakers and amps, cold lined up in my trunk
My system's crankin', my headlights are blinkin'
Brothers ridin' my tip L, at the same time thinkin'
"Damn, how could a brother be so nice?"
'Cause I'm the capital, P-E twice, M-D-E twice
I choose to squeeze, some choose to fight
I like to write but, then again, some bite
And while you was bangin' on tables
I was bangin' Snow White, P
[Verse 4]
Slow down, baby
Yeah, slow down, baby
Uh, yeah, slow down, baby
Yeah, slow down, baby
[Verse 5]
The Ripper, the master, the overlord-ian
Playing MC's like a old accordion
I get the inspiration from a necessary station
Them sayin' I was vacationin'
You can't quote with your weaker throat
Tryna sneak a peek at how I freak the notes
Major MC's become minor B-flats
So retire the mic, get your chains and your bats
Here's your chance to advance, get in your stance
I shoot the holster off your cowboy pants
Pure entertainment, tonight's your arraignment
You're guilty, face down on the pavement
No holds barred, it's time to get scarred
You and your squad better praise the real God
The undertaker, droppin' thunder on fakers
When it comes to lyrics, I'm as freaky as Seka
So lay the mic down slow and careful
'Cause mine is fully loaded and I got another handful
A clip to slip in and start rippin'
Divin' and dippin' and givin' punks a whippin'
Just in case you wanna go a few rounds or so
I'm down so that you clowns'll know
Me gettin' burnt or hurt won't be tolerated
I got rhymes up the, huh, forget it I'm constipated, L
[Verse 6]
Slow down, baby
Uh, slow down, baby
Yeah, slow down, baby
(E-Double in the house) Yeah
[Verse 7]
When I come around, homeboy, watch your nugget
A master on the beatdown, my style's rugged
When I attack the microphone, close the zone
Rap sees danger, can't roam
Security's packed and wall to wall, can't fall
A rap tank is full so I can't stall
My microphone is filled with premium
Any whack MC that flexes, I'm creamin' him
Not with lotion, bust the motion
Flotation when I rock on the mic, I'm like coastin'
I'm unique, fatigued at my peak
You still seek a style 'cause yours extra weak
New method, to rip the stage at my age
And get loose and kick, like Bruce in a rage
I'm on a rampage
[Verse 8]
Slow down, baby
Slow down, baby
Slow down, baby
Slow down, baby...
