The Return of Slick Lyrics

[Sample]
If it's the shit we'll lift it off the plastic
The babes'll go spastic
Hip Hop gains a classic
Pimp playing shock it don't matter I'm fatter
Ask Butta how I zone (man, Cleopatra Jones)
And
I'm chill like that [7x]
I'm chill...


[Verse]
Peep, Y to the C
My shit make tough guys rise to their feet
My shit make tough guys hide from the beat
My Do-Re make dough rise from the heat
Off GP should have a college degree
My CD should be the prime nominee
Was on TV but didn't sign the release
If your favorite MC is a blur then it's me
Shit I was throwing bars trying to bar police
I'm the only frog that made it across the street
I'm the only hog that want to hog the beat
I'm the only shark that be in Orchard Beach
The kid got spit but don't got cheese
Even with a lisp I still sound clean
How I'm so nice but still sound mean?
How I'm so hyped, I can't be tamed, I can't be leashed?
Peep, I rather stick six foot daggers in my lips
Than be average

Or un-adequate, back from the forefront
Or un-accurate, more young, dumb rap advocates
I'm the dang main voice for the savages
I'm the dang main voice for the passionate
I'm the dang main change of the mindframe
Of the same, lame, dying game unraveling
Bang, bang shooting up the bing type characters
Bling, bling "Money Ain't A Thang" type characters
Ring, ring calling from the bing type characters
Bet some rappers won't want to rhyme after this
If you don't think Young is a catalyst
You're dumb, I taught myself to write Arabic

These wack rap cats double my age
YC's in the building like government planes
But...
[Sample]
I'm cool Like That [7x]
We Out, we out, we out

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 [?]
