Bilingual
MC's try to play close, play me up close
Brag and boast, you know
Things like that make me weary
But I never let a rapper get near me
'Cause 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
MC's get mad 'cause I'm blowing up
For every battle, the base be showing up
A fast tempo or with the hook
Don't judge a book by the way that the cover look
'Cause I'm mean, reign supreme
Wrote my first rhyme at the age of 15
I'm like a match when struck, I burn
Not concerned cause I'm sure that you won't learn
Now get up and let's start
I wanna see which sucker 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
'Cause if you do, you get backslapped, backslapped
If it's not in your vision
Don't sleep on it, don't sleep on it
Don't make no decision (turn it up)
Turn it up, rip your head
Drop your ego and let me go
And just show what I know, 'cause I'm on the go
I rock smooth, bust a move, hit me
In the way I perform, you can't forget me
Clear up the smoke, this ain't a joke
The new kid on the block is like dope
Been here for a while, been on punishment
But now I'm o, now I'm o, so let's start it
No, I'm not retarded or either crazy
I work hard, I'm not lazy
Rappers don't phase me or even amaze me
Or either come up close and just graze me
Cooling, never be a fool and
Give me just a little more time, I be ruling
Chilling to the max 'cause I'm on wax
Should I pay tax or should I just ask
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 no decision (turn it up)
Turn it up, rip your head
I 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 'cause I'ma smash
On the mic, I think differently
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 ride the hat 'cause I'm that bad
I'm not fronting 'cause this is my theory
You don't believe me? So just hear me
I rock harder, I rock longer
I do this 'cause I gotta get stronger
A lot of rappers rhyme harder and meaner
But I rhyme with a sound that's cleaner
I ain't nothing, that's what they say
Well, okay, if they wanna play that way
'Cause I'm Rob, butt-kicking base
One rapper's next to be erased
On my list, I'm not known to diss
But I 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 no decision (turn it up)
Turn it up, rip your head
Hit it, admit it, you did it, you can't fit it
So forget it 'cause I know you ain't with it
In the center, I didn't rent her
Sat your butt in the chair, got a splinter
Back in the days, amazed by the rap craze
Rap today, to me, it don't phase me
I'm not another MC
I ain't grieved 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 nothing to me or E-Z
'Cause I'm the R, the O, the B, and he's E-Z
Apostrophe, whatever it be, you see
He or me, the E, the Z, the A
The alphabets from A to Z, you see
I'm not trying to confuse your mind
I'm just trying 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 no decision (turn it up)
Turn it up, rip your head
Now, EZ Rock, you remember how we did it before
I want you to do it one more time for your mind
One, two, three, give it to 'em, give it to 'em
If it's not (turn it up)
Don't sleep on it, come on
If it's not (turn it up)
Don't sleep on it, come on
If it's not (turn it up)
Don't sleep on it, come on
If it's, if it's, if it's not (turn it up)
Don't sleep on it, come on
If it's not (turn it up)
Don't sleep on it, come on
