Slicker Than Most Lyrics

[Hook]
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most

[Verse 1]
Who put the jazz in the hip-hop funk?
It's me chump.. the originator with the flavor

Just like a fine-tuned sax, I'm all of that
I'm gettin fatter than fat, to be exact
So when you step to see the man command
Don't get too close, unless you can't withstand
The pressure, cause now I'm the aggressor
Callin you out, to test skills
Let's see who get props, and who gives the best, thrills
Chill kid, you gotta acknowledge
I'm like dope.. yeah that's what you could call it
Or better yet, just say I'm slick

[Hook]
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most
[Verse 2]
The word is out, Guru's got all the clout
And when I'm rappin, the fans just shout (HO!!)
'Cause I be givin what they want yo
Lyrics are tight with much insight bro
So never second-guess the smooth one
And if a sucker tries to diss, then I'm the rude one
'Cause I can kick it, you know I rip it
Yo pass the brew, so I can sip it
I'm wicked when it comes down to the rhyme
So in '93, I'm takin what's mine
And this you gotta acknowledge
'Cause I'm slick, so watch me clock the dollars

[Hook]
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most

[Verse 3]
BOOM ya ras claat, you're gettin burned on the spot
No if's or but's, 'cause I'll go nuts
I never take a short, I rap for more than sport
So now you're caught, down to your last resort
Whisperin behind my back just like a pansy
I break an MC's neck, yes I can G
So chill 'cause this you gotta acknowledge
I'm SLAMMIN, yeah that's what you could call it
Or better yet just say I'm slick
'Cause I'm demolishin rappers, lickety-split
You know I'm slick
Hmm, you know I'm slick
Mmmm, you know I'm slick
[Hook]
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most
All around the city and from coast to coast
I'm slicker than most, I'm slicker than most

[Outro]
"I rock the house, and I..." (3x)
"I rock the house, and I..." (4x to fade)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
