I'm the beat box original
 Cool individual
 Rockin' for no one some funds is my residual
 Salary calories in just one rhyme
 Would last any even a whole life time
 Dictate conversate translate lose weight
 From 1987 88
 And the years to come
 The bass will still be dumb
 And bounce
 Sellin' DEF rhymes by the ounce
 And if you ain't wit it it's the thought that counts

 (chorus)

 Cause they call me Doug E. Fresh
 Cause known I'm DEF and the initials of my name is D.E.F.
 Know what I'm sayin'
 I ain't playin'

 Picture this...

 (verse two)

 Standing outside in the front of the place
 Eyes hypnotized by the sound of the bass
 Kickin' it wicked I wonder who it is performing
 Cops barricade so the crowd won't storm in
 I'm in the middle of this and and I'm left unknowin
 Standing and plannin' if the groups not showin up
 But the tension of the crowd is growin up
 Out of adolescence to a full size problem
 And if I have problems I solve them and they,and they


 (chorus)


 (verse three)

 Pointed in the direction headed for the door
 As my mind recalls being through this before
 So I'm figuring and adding and here I am mad
 In a way getting closer to the metal detector
 Pass my shank to the cut professor
 I was taught to never roam as they check my home boy
 And find out the shank ain't nuthin but a comb
 Through a distant block I didn't come to rock
 I came to put the whole place in shock
 But this girl followed me just like a shadow
 I told her to chill because I know the girl
 Had no reason for teasin'
 Because it ain't skeezin' season
 Me and the fellas were just breezin' on by
 I didn't want to dis'her so I said Hi
 And capitalize in what I specialize in
 And begin to get down into something more important
 While the Dj spins the records
 And I recon without double checkin'
 I have you spell bound in the average of a second or less

 (chorus)

 Cut it up Will
 Cut it up Barry
 Cut,cut,cut,cut
 Cuttin up
 Cut it up
