Oh yeah, and you're listening to the sounds
Of the great one himself, the M-E-L-L, all Melle-welly
And I do it somethin' like this here...
I used to be a criminal, it was subliminal
A product of Reaganomics, political
Criminalized with the guys, vandalized
In a high rise, the prize for being streetwise
A young buck, I'm pressin' my luck, what the fuck?
The whole world sucks, think I'm a Mack truck
Out on the road, heavy load, bust a code
Never old, got a soul, kill mode, another episode
Chill? Never will, never ran, still ill
I'm the man, super bad, hundred dollar bills
Money to burn, got a whole little pocket
Tear the roof off, I'm gonna shoot off just like a rocket
I'm goin', goin', gone, yo, I'm outta here
Deranged and actin' real strange, I never shed a tear
I start rappin' in a New York dialect
You d'izzo what I'm sayin'? I work with spizzick
Izzo, what's on the rizzo? Whizzo no sizzo
Mizzin' clizzin' on the sizzin' like a pizzo
Splizzick, quizzick, flizzick, like a bizzick
Yo, you don't like it? Sizzurp my dizzick
Boy, now give me more, I'm tired of being poor
Hardcore, fast draw, open door or a bloody floor
I got a attitude, I like whylin'
Now get serious, 'cause motherfucker, I ain't smilin'

On the freestyle tip, check it out
I'm slammin' like a jail cell
I'm pumpin' like an oil well, M-E-L, Melle Mel, I'm quick
And kickin' like I'm a karate flick
A lot of people don't like me, now get off my dick
I'm swellin', dwellin', jezebellin'
Propellin', excellin', a felon, no smellin', yellin'
Tellin', no shellin', gellin' my clientele, sellin' like a melon
Discovered rap like a Ferdinand Magellan
Or Columbus, Pizarro, De Leon, or Marco Polo
I'm not a weasel, boy, I'm diesel, cop Volvo
Mechanic, manic, pneumatic, impressive, aggressive
The feet that release with Adidas, I'm excessively
Limpin', sweatin', you be bettin', cold workin'
The pressure is incessant, I'm dressin', no mess investin'
'Fessin', no pressin', no second guessin' my finessin'
Here's a lesson, I'm a torture session, listen, you better
Count your blessin', meditate weight, you better pray on
I'm outside your house maxin' out, I'm gonna lay on you
'Cause I'm a chiller, the thriller from Manila like Attila
I get ill, don't take a pill, I'm a killer
The slayer, the sprayer, I'm the stone cold player
The senator, governor, president, I'm the mayor
The judge and the jury, always livin' large
And now I'm passin' out my verdict, punk, guilty as charged
Check this out, I got a million of 'em, check it out
Huh-huh, huh
I'm the greatest invention, I could mention the captain
The wheels don't stop turnin', it never happened
I never had the gas on, just gotta press on
Keep keepin' on, push on, move on, just put the groove on, homie
Play it, rock it, jam it, slam it, damn it
Understand it, I'm the baddest in the planet
I'm cuttin', struttin' like a suttin', a glutton
E.F. Hutton, and when I rap, cut the crap
Don't say nothin', slow, low, soft form
Quiet storm, turn on, work form, cool, collected, calm
Chill, stand still to the max, relax, watchin' my back
Never lax, I'm a battle axe
King of the king, so swing with the black thing
Throwin' it out, comin' back like a boomerang
My pen is mightier than the sword, go 'head and pull it
Just give me your pen name, boy, I'm stoppin' bullets
My pad is a shield, make you feel like a force field
Cold steel, so kneel, you caught a raw deal
On to the next town, next stage, next rhyme
Speak of forever, hold your peace, won't be a next time
Sent by Allah, like the Star of David
It's the last of the grandmasters, boy, you might as well save it
And I'ma tell you why, boy, I'ma tell you why right now, check it out
People are starin' at me in awe
'Cause I'm more awesome than a force or then a course boss
I hire, retire, fire, sell out, buy ya
Do anything my heart would desire
King of the king, the lord of rap is back
With the facts, the mack, the smack, a verbal attack
In your face, it'll taste like a subpoena
Committed a felony 'cause your melody's a misdemeanor
I'm rockin' steady 'cause I'm ready
For Betty, Freddy, Teddy, and Eddie
Don't get petty, now come on, you put a bum on, you got slum on
Dumb as Dukane, put some on, better hum on
The mic, stall all night, bite the sight when I write
You might think you could bite, but you're quite
Light in the ass, passin' gas, fadin' fast
Took in the wind, a minute, the boy might last
'Cause I'm shake, bake, flakin' and takin' and rakin'
And breakin' and quakin', no fakin', no forsakin' and ratin'
And waitin', mate datin' and statin' and syncopatin'
Captivatin', creatin', no debatin', I'm devastatin'
Escapin', imitatin', procrastinatin' and hatin'
Duplicatin', fornicatin', chasin', associatin'
I'm not intimidatin' because I'm fascinatin'
Don't eat bacon, no mistakin', I'm cash money makin'
You're a truant, you're absent, late
Bait for the fickle finger of fate
I'm like Tony the Tiger, no, wait
I'm like Frosted Flakes, I'm grrreat!
That's right, and anybody could take that any way they wanted, you see
You come one at a time, you come all at once
You might pop strong game, but you're nothin' but punks
When you see me on the stage, I ain't gonna be whylin'
But guess what? Motherfucker, I ain't smilin'
