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
