You know what?
You know what?
You know what?

I'm hip to the game, right
I'll always be the same, true
'Cause whether I'm broke or got fame
Sunshine or rain
Ain't a damn thing changed

Finesse fell off, that's what some figure
You better see Mary Blige and get the 411, *****
I rock rappers frequently
I'm like Stevie Wonder, I can't see a brother beatin' me

Wanna throw joints? You get spanked, fella
Wanna talk dough? I'm seein' more cash than a bank teller
Wanna talk girls, you can't follow this
I been through more skins than the average dermatologist

I'm no joke on a fast or slow tip
Pockets stay so thick, be on some down low ****
I turn MC's red fast
I never sell out, ***k that, yo, I'm dead ***

I'm on it like TNT
When it comes to this, ain't another brother seein' me
That's why opponents always get scared
'Cause I make brothers go, 'Hey yo, that's that **** there'

I'm hip to the game, right
I'll always be the same, true
'Cause whether I'm broke or got fame
Sunshine or rain
Ain't a damn thing changed

Brothers better lounge when I p*** through town
You better recognize
Don't know? Better ask around

Word life, I'm not a new figure
They say good things come to those who wait
I'm overdue, *****, I lounge and rock tunes
The way I be savin' the day, give me a cape and a costume

But no, it's not Batman, it's the original black man
That goes back like the Gap Band
I don't run scams, got dumb fans
Yo, I'm one man that's quick to toast a ***** like a sun tan

People wondered would I rock again?
****, rap without Finesse is like life without oxygen
It's no quiz, I get biz, you know what the deal is
Rap ain't **** if it ain't real, kid

Can't a rapper outplay me
Do your thing, kid
Word life, no doubt, baby

I'm hip to the game, right
I'll always be the same, true
'Cause whether I'm broke or got fame
Sunshine or rain
Ain't a damn thing changed

I don't stutter, I'm so butter, like no other
Word, I'm that funky type of soul brother
I get stupid, but I'm dumb wise, I'm one guy
That can rock a party from night until sunrise

You can't mess with the rap lord
That's like sayin' you can dunk
When you can't touch the backboard

Ha, I got the smooth rep
I got styles that Kung fu
Mother***kers didn't use yet

How long I been rockin' raps?
Since *****s was wearin' Lee's
Mark necks and sportin' stockin' caps

Plus I be flippin' figures
In '95 and beyond
Best believe I got some **** for *****s

You know what?
You know what?
You know what?
Yeah
