[VERSE 1]

I can be paid, and don't have to have money

Jump off a bridge, and don't have to use bungee

I like Cypress Hill, and don't have to smoke blunts

And when the beat comes in, you don't have to jump

Oh yeah, it don't have to be 'oh no'

Serch rides the rhythm, but it doesn't have to flow

You can be beefin, and not be a Tom

Go get skins, and don't have to be a John

I can raise the roof, and not have a home

Go solo, and don't have to be alone

I can be Simon, and don't have to draw

Step to the a.m. and not sit by the door

I can have pockets, and don't have to be swollen

Fat-ass beat, and it don't have to be stolen

Went a 1000 places, and didn't have to be hike that

World full of hate, and it don't have to be like that



[CHORUS]

And it don't quit

And it don't stop

When it don't quit

Then it don't stop

When it don't quit

Then it don't stop

It keeps on and on [x2]



[VERSE 2]

I can come ghetto, and don't have to be a bastard

Hold a conversation, and don't have to have the last word

Shoot the gift swift, and not miss the street

Even - ehm - and not come off the beat

Oh yeah, be ??? without shootin at the earth

Even be gold, and not have any worth

You can beat beef, and don't need utensils

Write ruff rhymes without pens and pencils

Mad low end, and I don't have any treble

Be like rock, and it don't have to metal

Be in Detroit and don't have to be a Piston

Tell me a white lie, yo, I don't have to listen

I can walk, and I don't have the need

Catch a cut, but I don't have to bleed

Go to a club, and I don't have to sweat

Chill, time to go, but you don't have to get up yet



[CHORUS]



[VERSE 3]

I can be the U.S., and don't have to war

I can get open, and don't need any door

I can get loud, and don't have to scream

Peace to Dr. King, and don't forget about the dream

Oh yes, oh yes, I don't have to be a yes-man

Go get married, and don't have to have a best man

I can be positive, and don't have to be a plus

If you're not gettin papes, then you're not down with Rush

I can have skills, and don't need a trade

I can be in London, don't have to like rain

Nots, nots, nots, and not have any rope

Go take a shower, but don't need any soap

Point me to the mic, I need no rehearsal

Yes, I'm the man, there'll be no role reversal

I can be blue, and don't have to be the jeans

Don't wear the X hat when you don't know what it means



[CHORUS]
