Emcees, tryin' ta play post, play me up close, brag and boast



Ya know



Things like that make me weary, but



I never let a rapper get near me, cuz



I'm Rob Base, pick up the pace



It takes more than beats to rock this place



It takes more than rhymes to rock this time



Rhyme for rhyme, the Base design



M.C.'s get mad, cuz I'm blowin' up



To every battle, the Base keeps showin' up



A fast tempo, a-with a hook



Don't judge a book by the way that the cover look



Cuz I'm mean, reign supreme



Wrote my first rhyme at the age of fifteen



I'm like a match, when struck I burn



Not concerned cuz I'm sure that ya won't learn



Now git up, and let's start



I wanna see which sucka got heart



I get fresh as I get older



Every time I rock I get bolder



So don't sleep, and say I'm wack



Cuz if ya do ya get backslap (backslap)







Chorus:







If it's not in your vision



Don't sleep on it



Don't sleep on it







Don't make a-no decision



TURN IT UP! (On the bass right now)







Drop your ego, and let me go



And just show what I know cuz I'm on the go



I rock smooth, bust a move, hit me



And the way I perform, you can't forget me



Clear off the smoke, this ain't a joke



The new kid on the block is like dope



Been here for a while, been all punishment



But now I'm on (I'mon), so let's start it



No I'm not retarded, or either crazy



I work hard, I'm not lazy



Rappers don't faze me, or eith-amaze me



Or either come up close and just graze me



Coolin', neva be a fool, and



Gimme just a little mo' time I be rulin



Tell it to the mack, cuz I'm on wax



But should I pay tac, or should I just act



To get a new job, yes, time is what I'm pressed for



Every time I perform ya want more so (so...)







Chorus







Aaaaaah, break it down, to get the dope sound



Then hang around with the posse from Uptown



On the Ave, they get cash



But I leave it alone cuz I'm a smash



On the mic, I think differently, a-from another or other MC who



Intervene, try to just rip up the Rob on the sneak tip



I get mad, they get sad, or either rag the had cuz I'm that bad



I'm not frontin', cuz this is my theory



You don't believe me, so just hear me



I rock harder, I rock longer



I do this cuz I gotta get stronger



A lotta rappers rhyme harder, and meaner



But I rhyme with the sound that's cleaner



"I ain't nuthin'", that's what they say



Well OK if they wanna play that way



Cuz I'm Rob buttkickin' Base



What rapper's next to be erased?



On my list, I'm not known to diss



But I'll do it, so don't sleep on this, c'mon







Chorus







Hit it, admit it, ya did it, ya can't fit it



So forget it cuz I know you ain't wit' it



In the centre, I didn't rent her



Sat 'cha butt in the chair, got a splintuh!



Back in the days, amazed by the rap phrase



Rap today, to me it don't faaaaaaze me



I'm not another M.C., or angry by the way ya speak to me



Jealousy; what makes you wanna battle me



Dope beats; what makes you wanna idol me



It ain't nuthin' to me or E-Z



Cuz I'm the R, the O, the B, and he's E-Z



I bust a fee wherever it be, ya see



He or me, the E, the Z, the A, the B



Alphabet's from A to Z, ya see



I'm not tryin' to confuse your mind



I'm just tryin' to pump this plain old fresh rhyme



I stay calm, rap like a pro



I know ya know, so let's go, c'mon!







Chorus







Now E-Z Rock, you remember how we did it before



I want you to do it one more time, for ya mind



1-2-3, give it to 'em







If it's not (scratching)



Don't sleep on it, come on!



If it, if it, if it's not (scratching)



Don't sleep on it, come on!



(To fade)
