The dotbombs, them showbizkids makin movies of themselves,
rapper with a Royce
in the projects, wall street suit with waiter's jacket, 
CEO got a bonus...

so don't be tellin me where to put your onus, 
trickle don't tickle it hurts, 
so don't tell me bout the bubble got to blow it first, 
flowin to avoid the caps and blows, 
backin up the bumper of the Brooklyn Hoes, 
gang bangers with side arm turned at the B-Boy shows, 
Man out here gunna control this crowd, 
but They can't just now cause the system be cranked and
loud, 
so what choo sayin turn it up turn it loud, 
Now Brothers lickin off like the Son of Sam, 
heads are flown like Pan Am for the Man, 
the bass goin pump, pump, pump, 
Brothers hit the street poppin up they trunks, 
chains and jewels gettin snatched, 
hoes gettin slapped and eyes gettin scratched, 
Brothers gettin caught in the cross fire, 
no caps, 
Man got you dancin to his raps, 
The Man got choo dancin to his raps, 
the man got you dancin to his white linguistics, 
caps flyin like the Man's ballistics, 
give it up, give it up, give it up, 
now shout, 
now everybody shout,
Man turned on the white light and tuned the party out.
