[Verse 1: LL Cool J] I'm sick and tired of the stories that you always tell Shakespeare couldn't tell a story that well See, you're the largest liar that was ever created You and Pinocchio are probably related Full of criss-crossed fits, you lie all the time Your tongue should be embarrassed, you're a threat to mankind That's a lie

[Verse 2: Cool J] You lied about the lies that you lied about You even lied to your aunt when you went down south You lied, and a body builder kicked your butt If you was in Egypt you'd lie to King Tut You claim to do things no one could achieve You said you did things Ripley's wouldn't believe That's a lie

[Verse 4: Cool J] Then you start to lie about things you don't have You speak of limousines? You can't afford a cab Said you slapped Rowdy Piper and didn't get a hassle You promised your girl filet mignon, took her to White Castle You said you have a lot of women, you don't even know a few 'There are 8 million stories' and they're all made up by you That's a lie
[Outro: Russell Simmons] Yo man All the girls everywhere talkin about Rush (You're a liar) Word man, Pretty Tony knocked a hoe down the other day (That's a lie) Talkin so much about 'Rush, Rush,' every time (You're a liar) That hoes just be beefin', man 'Rush this and Rush that' (That's a lie) World's biggest thing, man Rush is gettin' all the money, man (You're a liar) ...wheel barrow full of money, ya understand me? (That's a lie) That they be rollin' that shit in my office all day (You're a liar) Nothin but money, and it be green (That's a lie) Don't front, man, you know what Rush is about, man Rush gets money, man (You're a liar) My Maserati is bad, man, it's blue and green...and gold (That's a lie) I just bought this hoe this million-dollar ring, man (You're a liar) I just wanna look good, man So I got one (That's a lie) Like that, we be cold gettin' money at Rush, man Jewels be them thangs (You're a liar) Rings and things, man, all that type of stuff (That's a lie) Man, I got 900 pairs of Reeboks, man ...pair of...Adidas (You're a liar) I got every color of Adidas they ever made, man (That's a lie) My man Steve, that's a porno star, man And he be bringin them hoes to the house (You're a liar) Word man, they be over my house (That's a lie) Yo, that girl at my house, man ...Lee, man She cleans up behind me, man (You're a liar) Yo, she cleans up behind me, does everything I say, man (That's a lie) Yo man, sweet little Japanese thing, man Takin care of me, man (You're a l-) Yo, man...
