Emcees, tryin' ta play post
Play me up close, brag and boast
You know
Things like that make me weary
But I never let a rapper get near me cuz
I'm Rob Base, pick up the pace
It takes more than beats to rock this place
It takes more than rhymes to rock this time
Rhyme for rhyme, the Base design
M.C.'s get mad, cuz I'm blowin' up
To every battle, the Base keeps showin' up
A fast tempo, a-with a hook
Don't judge a book by the way that the cover look
Cuz I'm mean, reign supreme
Wrote my first rhyme at the age of fifteen
I'm like a match, when struck I burn
Not concerned cuz I'm sure that you won't learn
Now git up, and let's start
I wanna see which sucka got heart
I get fresh as I get older
Every time I rock I get bolder
So don't sleep, and say I'm wack
Cuz if you do you get backslap backslap)
If it's not in your vision
Don't sleep on it
Don't sleep on it
Don't make a no decision
Turn it up On the bass right now)
Drop your ego, and let me go
And just show what I know cuz I'm on the go
I rock smooth, bust a move, hit me
And the way I perform, you can't forget me
Clear off the smoke, this ain't a joke
The new kid on the block is like dope
Been here for a while, been all punishment
But now I'm on I'm on)
So let's start it
No I'm not retarded, or either crazy
I work hard, I'm not lazy
Rappers don't faze me, or eith-amaze me
Or either come up close and just graze me
Coolin', never be a fool, and
Give me just a little more time I be ruling
Tell it to the mack, cuz I'm on wax
But should I pay tac, or should I just act
To get a new job, yes, time is what I'm pressed for
Every time I perform you want more so
If it's not in your vision
Don't sleep on it
Don't sleep on it
Don't make a no decision
Turn it up On the bass right now)
Ah, break it down, to get the dope sound
Then hang around with the posse from Uptown
On the Ave, they get cash
But I leave it alone cuz I'm a smash
On the mic, I think differently, a-from another
Or other MC who
Intervene, try to just rip up the Rob on the sneak tip
I get mad, they get sad, or either rag the had cuz
I'm that bad
I'm not frontin', cuz this is my theory
You don't believe me, so just hear me
I rock harder, I rock longer
I do this cuz I gotta get stronger
A lotta rappers rhyme harder, and meaner
But I rhyme with the sound that's cleaner
I ain't nothing, that's what they say
Well OK if they wanna play that way
Cuz I'm Rob buttkickin' Base
What rapper's next to be erased
On my list, I'm not known to diss
But I'll do it, so don't sleep on this, come on
If it's not in your vision
Don't sleep on it
Don't sleep on it
Don't make a no decision
Turn it up On the bass right now)
Hit it, admit it, you did it, you can't fit it
So forget it cuz I know you ain't wit' it
In the centre, I didn't rent her
Sat 'cha butt in the chair, got a splintuh
Back in the days, amazed by the rap phrase
Rap today, to me it don't faze me
I'm not another M.C.
Or angry by the way you speak to me
Jealousy, what makes you wanna battle me
Dope beats, what makes you wanna idol me
It ain't nothin' to me or E-Z
Cuz I'm the R, the O, the B, and he's E-Z
I bust a fee wherever it be, you see
He or me, the E, the Z, the A, the B
Alphabet's from A to Z, you see
I'm not tryin' to confuse your mind
I'm just tryin' to pump this plain old fresh rhyme
I stay calm, rap like a pro
I know you know, so let's go, come on
If it's not in your vision
Don't sleep on it
Don't sleep on it
Don't make a no decision
Turn it up On the bass right now)
Now E-Z Rock, you remember how we did it before
I want you to do it one more time, for you mind
1-2-3, give it to 'em
If it's not
Hurry up
Don't sleep on it, come on
If it's not
Hurry up
Don't sleep on it, come on
If it's not
Hurry up
Don't sleep on it, come on
If it's not
Hurry up
Don't sleep on it, come on
If it's not
Hurry up
Don't sleep
