(Verse one) 

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
