Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cooling on the scene like a horse in a stable
A brother got ill, tried to snatch a fat cable
I step back like it wasn't no thing
I punched him in the jaw with a fat gold ring
I had an ace in the hole when they came to that
Yo Z, he was packing, you know I was strapped
[Verse 2]
Posse kept rolling, it was hard to get with
So I stepped back and unbuttoned my Lee demin
They kept coming
Just like I figured
So I stepped back and started spraying ****
What a way to go out
Out like a sucker
But I'm on track
Like a Long Island train that can head up your mission
[Verse 3]
Suckers who be dissing
Always on my jock
Like a snake always hissing
Grabbing and tapping, we like Luther Vandross
Take me to the bar for the drink and make a toast
Giving best wishes to the best MC
And when the spot is blown
Hey yo, you know it's me
[Verse 4]
'Cause I'm housin'
'Cause I'm housin'
Because I'm housin'
'Cause I'm housin'
Because I'm housin'
[Verse 5]
Because I'm housin'
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
'Cause I'm housin'
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
'Cause I'm housin'
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
'Cause I'm housin'
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
[Verse 6]
Cooling at a party
No, better yet, disco
Head feeling better from a bottle of Cisco
Move
To crush a five sucker MC like Crisco
Give me the cue
Check, one-two
Don't try to come off of me
Because you do-do
You're treating me the Z to the D
Like a step child
Let me tell you, homeboy
You're living foul, MC's
You know who you are
On the bandwagon Y Z
'Cause you a star
[Verse 7]
This is the year
When the jokers are wild
When in fact you're happy
Who tried to bite your style
I get hip to the scene
Before it happens
If it ever gets wild
Then I'll start capping
But for now
Since everything's calm
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
[Verse 8]
Because I'm housin'
'Cause I'm housin'
'Cause I'm housin'
'Cause I'm housin'
Because I'm housin'
[Verse 9]
Come on
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
'Cause I'm housin'
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
'Cause I'm housin'
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
'Cause I'm housin'
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
[Verse 10]
Because I'm housin'
Relate to the matter, relate to the matter
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
'Cause I'm housin'
Relate to the matter, relate to the matter
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
'Cause I'm housin'
Relate to the matter, relate to the matter
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
'Cause I'm housin'
Relate to the matter, relate to the matter
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
Because I'm housin'
'Cause I'm housin'
'Cause I'm housin'
'Cause I'm housin'
