(It's showtime!)



Once they announce my name and I get out on stage

I'm just like an animal let out of his cage

I can't control myself, I start dancin and rhymin

People on the streets start droppin a dime and

Tellin everybody: "Hey, Spoonie Gee's housin

He got the people in the place jumpin and bouncin"

Up and down, hey, they just don't understand it

How do I get results, my brother I just demand it

It starts with a pen and a paper, then to a studio

With the engineer that says 'go', now you know

This is the place to be



This is the place to be



Now in this game you gotta be a perfect rapper

Be sharp, clean, dressed up, for me I just be dapper

Do what I have to, I make money, but no trouble

But if your head is swollen, I bust your bubble

Cause in this game, with fake MC's it's been polluted

The reason that I'm in it, cause in me it has been rooted

Before I was born Almighty God had a plan

He said, "You're gonna be a rapper, my man"

So - this is the place to be



This is the place to be



I finished my mission, I'm in a higher position

So when it comes to my records, choose to dance or just listen

You'll be excited, could never be bored

I'm givin you a piece of my talent you can't afford

It, so as the clock ticks and the time goes on

I thank God every minute for the day I was born

He gave me a talent, and above all the chance

To rap on the mic, to show you my dance

He wakes me up, then lays me down to sleep

So that I can write a record that can rock to the beat

You're feelin low and need somewhere to go?

You come check me out at the show, you know?

This is the place to be



This is the place to be
