Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Looky here
Better hurry up and check it out
Looky here, looky here
[Verse 2]
Your steak
Ain't no hipper than my pork chop
Your Cadillac
Ain't no hipper than my bus stop
You champagne
Ain't no hipper than my soda pop
[Verse 3]
Looky here, I'm ready to take care of busines
Have no fear, I'm already here
[Verse 4]
Yeah, you know (I'm qualified)
Know that I'm qualified
(Don't you know that I'm qualified?)
[Verse 5]
Your top hat
Ain't no better than my ginger brown
And your sharp skin
Ain't no better than my Levi's jean
The money you got
It ain't no better than a higher spendin' band
[Verse 6]
All I've got's a little bit of common sense
I believe in my heart, the best E-D is experience
[Verse 7]
Oh, I'll tell you now (I'm qualified)
You know that I'm qualified
(Don't you know that I'm qualified?)
[Verse 8]
You may find me in a project slum
Be hangin' out with all the skid row bums
I may be sick and I may seem dumb
That don't mean you know where I'm comin' from
[Verse 9]
Look out, look out, kid
Just make a little room for
[Verse 10]
Your social life
Ain't no better than my hotdog stand
Your edu-ma-cation
Ain't no hipper than what you understand
Your woman that you got
She ain't no hipper than a hot lovin' band
[Verse 11]
I got the power to control
I can see clean through your blind fold
[Verse 12]
And I wanna tell you now (I'm qualified)
Oh, you know that I'm qualified
(Don't you know that I'm qualified?)
[Verse 13]
Look at me, I'm fillin' up in class
And you better watch out, I'm steppin' up fast
And I ain't got a jacket on me, I've
Been hangin' out in the projects
Hangin' out with all you rednecks
You rubbernecks and rejects
What it is
Just call it side by
