[ The E (& DJ Boss ) ]
Hey yo Boss
(Yo, what`s up?)
Yo man, we been waitin on this break for a long time
(Word, long time, gee)
But yo, why don`t we take it on that other level
and this time we`ll go nationwide
(Yo, but what about the doubters?)
Yo man, I know we got some doubters
but eh, why don`t you rock some funky drums
and let me drop some cool lyrics and eh
we`ll just get paid, knowmsayin?
( *DJ Boss cuts up* )
(I know how to)
[ CHORUS: The E ]
I know how to play em, yeah
I know how to catch em slippin
Huh
I know how to play em, yeah
I know how to catch em slippin
[ VERSE 1: The E ]
Why don`t I just sit back, let em make a dumb track
Act like it`s a hype track
Play scared and don`t write back
Let him play big shot, thinkin that he`s real hot
All the time I be schemin on a big plot
Baitin the man till the kid gets scent strong
He`s gettin real souped, but yo, he`s dead wrong
I ain`t goin out like a sucker, no way, Jack
Time to get busy, this is my payback
First we`ll get into this while I enter this
Content of smooth rhymes is built for this
Then I get wild, I get real wild
Profile like a child but I freestyle
Then I`ma activate while I captivate
MC`s try to breeze, but yo, that`ll take
Measures and measures of metaphors and beat breaks
But you come with a smile and a handshake
Singin that same 4/4 it-ain`t-jack tune
Let`s squash that and step to the backroom
It really doesn`t matter who you are and where you come from
Long as you get the job done
Cause yo
[ CHORUS ]
[ VERSE 2: The E ]
Then he`ll be thinkin that he can walk by me
But I ain`t down with that, don`t even try me
I`m the Original E down with crew OG
And Boss is in here rockin the beat
Step on up to this, you`ll be down to dig
You`ll be dissed and dismissed like that other kid
Straight out the pack he`s wack
I tried tellin him that
He tried frontin at E and Jack (what`s up)
He don`t want nothin, he frontin, laughin, gigglin
Jokin and gankin, still he wasn`t thinkin
That`s how I planned it all cool and subtle, right?
I didn`t talk about it, I just did it, you like
Boss, so if you was in it from the get-go
You tuned in to a real pro
Cause yo
[ CHORUS ]
[ The E ]
Yo Boss, break it down
( *DJ Boss cuts up* )
(Played him like a sucker)
