Yo, cuz, come here, man. Tell me, I got one question for you
Brother. Who is this kid, Shy D? I was listening to the radio
Man, I heard this tune. It sound like the "Pink Panther." This kid
Was doing the wildest scratching, the wildest rapping. I'm like
"Yo, this is Def #3 on the phone." Then, it came back, cuz, with
"Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun, dun-dun." I'm like, "Yo, man, I'm thinking
I'm watching TV or what. This is Def, man. Who is this kid, Shy D?"
Yo, yo homeboy, before I cold bug out, let me tell you right now
I'm Shy D. Yeah, I made the record the "Pink Panther" and Fred
Sanford. But let me tell you right now, all that is old, 'cause
I'm with a new funky fresh record company, Luke Skyywalker Records
And I'm about to cold bug out and get ill, and it goes like this
Everything I say, you know is rough
I'm MC Shy D, and I gotta be tough
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, you know I came to the stage to give you a lesson
To let you know that I'm not fessing
I'm a certified rapper and my name is Shy D
I'm capable of taking out any MC
I'm back and not strapping with the words that I say
All you soft MCs need to step out my way
Don't try me or deny me 'cause I'm number one
And when I rap on the mic, I get the job done
'Cause everything I say, you know is rough
I'm MC Shy D, and I gotta be tough
Everybody, sing this song
I'm the MC Devastator and I like to rock fast
I got a lot of juice and you know I got class
I like to cool in the crib, max, relax
The IRS won't get me for tax
I won't cause no trouble or start no fight
When I got a microphone, you know I rock all night
Once you get on the floor and start to dance
You know my devastating rhymes will put you in a trance
I will make you say, "Shy D is Def"
And I'ma rap for a day until I run out of breath
But it's not that way 'cause the voice is strong
And I can rap so def and I can rap so long
Other MCs don't like me 'cause I rock real hard
But I'm cold getting paid, I got a credit card
You might as well face it, I'm not wack
You need to step off, you need to get back
I rock on stage, I got on black
You look and went, I'm on the attack
All you sucker MCs, you might as well confess
I can never be the wack 'cause I'm funky fresh
'Cause everything I say, you know is rough
They call me Shy D, and I gotta be tough
Now, everybody, sing this song
You know I gotta be tough 'cause there's a lotta competition
So I drink milk 'cause that's my nutrition
When it's time to rhyme, I rock on time
But I do not sing 'cause I'm running down rhymes
And when I'm on the microphone, I will take all the credit
I'm down with man so don't you never forget it
He's my mellow, my man, my pal, my ice
You wanna battle us, you know you better think twice
'Cause we on our way to be number one
But we don't rock the house free, we do it for fun
'Cause the time is now, the price is right
So all y'all ducks, don't get uptight
'Cause I know it's real hard, how you stare in my face
But you know it's hard to keep up the pace
You gotta be like me, MC Shy D
And be capable of taking out any MC
'Cause I'll break your back, put you out the wack
So don't try to battle, that's a fact
I'm not for games, I get the job done
That's why they call me Super Rapper #1
And everything I say, you know is rough
I'm MC Shy D, and I gotta be tough
Now, everybody, sing this song
Yo, when I'm on the microphone, you know I'm the aggressor
I can even rock harder when I'm under pressure
MCs talk crap but I know they feel me
'Cause I'm so devastating that they can't get near me
You can try to play big 'cause you have no fear
But when I grab a mic, you better beware
You try to play fly, you think you're a leader
And I know you didn't know that I'm a MC defeater
You can even call me Peter, you can call me Shy D
My favorite group is Run-DMC
'Cause they're the king of rock, there is none higher
They will always rock hard 'til the day they retire
To burn their kingdom, you must use fire
It's Run-DMC that I admire
It's like that, and you will hear it from me
I'm talking to all you sucker MCs
I'm the S, the H, the Y, the D
You wanna battle me? You better bring three
'Cause one is not enough, you can even bring two
Bring three, four, five, 'cause you're gonna need a crew
'Cause everything I say, you know is rough
I'm MC Shy D, and I gotta be tough
A-check it out, break down
Yo, let's kick that funky beat
Yo, DJ Man, I'm breaking out 'cause my throat is sore
Tell me what you think of that, homeboy
"That was fresh"
Carlize in the house
Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke Skywalker in the house
