[The E (& DJ Boss )]

Hey yo Boss

(Yo, what's up?)

Yo man, we been waitin on this break for a long time

(Word, long time, gee)

But yo, why don't we take it on that other level

and this time we'll go nationwide

(Yo, but what about the doubters?)

Yo man, I know we got some doubters

but eh, why don't you rock some funky drums

and let me drop some cool lyrics and eh

we'll just get paid, knowmsayin?



[DJ Boss cuts up]

(I know how to)



[CHORUS: The E]

I know how to play em, yeah

I know how to catch em slippin

Huh

I know how to play em, yeah

I know how to catch em slippin



[VERSE 1: The E]

Why don't I just sit back, let em make a dumb track

Act like it's a hype track

Play scared and don't write back

Let him play big shot, thinkin that he's real hot

All the time I be schemin on a big plot

Baitin the man till the kid gets scent strong

He's gettin real souped, but yo, he's dead wrong

I ain't goin out like a sucker, no way, Jack

Time to get busy, this is my payback

First we'll get into this while I enter this

Content of smooth rhymes is built for this

Then I get wild, I get real wild

Profile like a child but I freestyle

Then I'ma activate while I captivate

MC's try to breeze, but yo, that'll take

Measures and measures of metaphors and beat breaks

But you come with a smile and a handshake

Singin that same 4/4 it-ain't-jack tune

Let's squash that and step to the backroom

It really doesn't matter who you are and where you come from

Long as you get the job done

Cause yo



[CHORUS]



[VERSE 2: The E]

Then he'll be thinkin that he can walk by me

But I ain't down with that, don't even try me

I'm the Original E down with crew OG

And Boss is in here rockin the beat

Step on up to this, you'll be down to dig

You'll be dissed and dismissed like that other kid

Straight out the pack he's wack

I tried tellin him that

He tried frontin at E and Jack (what's up)

He don't want nothin, he frontin, laughin, gigglin

Jokin and gankin, still he wasn't thinkin

That's how I planned it all cool and subtle, right?

I didn't talk about it, I just did it, you like

Boss, so if you was in it from the get-go

You tuned in to a real pro

Cause yo



[CHORUS]



[ The E ]

Yo Boss, break it down



[DJ Boss cuts up]

(Played him like a sucker)
