[Note: cover of EPMD`s I`m Housin` with a couple of changes]
[Zack de la Rocha]
Coolin` on the scene like a horse in a stable
A brother got ill, and tried to snatch a fat cable
I stepped back, like it wasn`t no thing
I punched him in the jaw with the fat gold ring
I had an ace in the hole when it came to that
Yo Z, you was packin? You know I was strapped
Posse kept rollin` it was hard to get with `em
So I stepped back, and unbuttoned my Lee denim
They kept coming, just like I figured
So I stepped back, and started sprayin` niggaz
What a way to go out, out like a sucker
But I`m on track, like a Long Island train
That can head up your mission, suckers who be dissin`
Always on my jock like a snake always hissing
Grabbing and tapping me like Luther Vandross
Take me to the bar for the drink and make a toast
Givin best wishes to the best MC
And when the spot is blown and yo you know it`s me
Because I`m HOUSIN!! [Housin....housin`...]
`Cause I`m HOUSIN!! [Housin....housin`...]
Because I`m HOUSIN!! [Housin....housin`...]
`Cause I`m HOUSIN!! [Housin....housin`...]
Because I`m Housin`!
[Hook]
Because I`m Housin`
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
`Cause I`m Housin
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
`Cause I`m Housin
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
`Cause I`m Housin
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
Coolin` at a party, no better yet disco
Head feelin` mellow from a bottle of Cisco
MOVE..
To crush and fry a Sucker MC like Crisco
Gimme the cue, check one two
Don`t try to come off on me, because you doo-doo
You treatin` me the Z to the D, like a stepchild
Let me tell you homeboy you`re livin` foul
MC`s, you know who you are
On the bandwagon, why Z? Cuz you a star
This is the year when the joker`s are wild
When a fag can`t hack it and try to bite your style
I get hip to the scheme, before it happens
If it gets wild, then I start cappin
But for now, since everything`s calm
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
Because I`m HOUSIN!! [Housin....housin`...]
`Cause I`m HOUSIN!! [Housin....housin`...]
`Cause I`m HOUSIN!! [Housin....housin`...]
`Cause I`m HOUSIN!! [Housin....housin`...]
Because I`m Housin`
C`MON!
[Hook]
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
`Cause I`m Housin
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
`Cause I`m Housin
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
Because I`m Housin
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
Because I`m Housin
[*guitar riff*]
Hook 2:
Relate to the matter, relate to the matter, relate to the matter as I drop the bomb (`cause I`m Housin!)
Relate to the matter, relate to the matter, relate to the matter as I drop the bomb (`cause I`m Housin!)
Relate to the matter, relate to the matter, relate to the matter as I drop the bomb (`cause I`m Housin!)
Relate to the matter, relate to the matter, relate to the matter as I drop the bomb (`cause I`m Housin!)
`Cause I`m HOUSIN!! [Housin....housin`...]
`Cause I`m HOUSIN!! [Housin....housin`...]
`Cause I`m HOUSIN!! [Housin....housin`...]
`Cause I`m HOUSIN!! [Housin....housin`...]
