praswell

nah mean

the streets are getting a little crazy. looka looka looka looka looka

looka looka looka here looka shorty got back

should i ask her for a dance? hold on

there's too many in the wolf pack

and besides

dirty cash talking to her

buying her fake furs and taking her to the fever

quiet as it's kept

that ain't even his benz

she spends his franklins at the malls with her friends

material girl

living in a material world

but it's all right cause it's saturday night

so mister funkmaster

pump the bee gees

and all you college students

play your ouijas

check the spelling: r-e-f-u-g-e-e

get the cd from sam goody

hee hee!

you ain't even close with the rhymes that you wrote

don't be mad cause you broke

let me clear my throat. john forte

grab the mic

let's sway this way

i'm more than just a rhymer

you still a small timer

hoping that the game treat that ass a little kinder

every step tango'd

your beef don't concern me

i'm eating mangoes in trinidad with attorneys

my crew's slang flow worldwide like a current

with the every spot where nobody got insurance

brother

do the math

you ain't half near exotic

my man's claim true

you

forget about it

po-po just a nuisance

like my influence

well

recognize you a lie trying do it

got juice

told your lady

oops! we nutz baby

smooth and charismatic

automatic

you gonna save me

god bless the day that my sons survive

we strive to teach the youth

baby

and stay alive

well

you can tell by the way i roll

shorty

that i'm a ladies man

a business man

condos down the shore

multi-million pension plan

but it ain't in my plan to make moves without the fam

i keep it intact

yo 'clef

do the track

john

play the mack while i pay the tax

business as usual

watching suspects steal my assets

get cut with gillettes

we built this concept

connect like nynex

drinks at the bar

my american express

yo i cook up cook up

the copper pull up pull up

then i cuff up cuff up

you who's calling bluff

now you shook up shook up

cause you lock up lock up

when i love up love up

you who's calling bluff

hey yo

john is chilling

dirty cash dealing

what more can i say

we living

that's what we got

we got it good

and since you understood

we be. yeah

live at the carnival

97 till infinity
