Hey, this is radio station W S K E E
We're takin' calls on the wish line
Making all your wacky wishes come true
Hello
I wish I was little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four Impala
I wish I was like six-foot-nine
So I can get with Leoshi
'Cause she don't know me but yo, she's really fine
You know I see her all the time
Everywhere I go and even in my dreams
I can scheme a way to make her mine
'Cause I know she's livin' phat
Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball
So how am I gonna compete with that
'Cause when it comes to playing basketball
I'm always last to be picked
And in some cases never picked at all
So I just lean up on the wall
Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls
Who came to watch their men ball
Dag y'all, I never understood, black
Why the jocks get the fly girls
And me I get the hood rats
I tell 'em scat, skittle, scabobble
Got hit with a bottle
And I been in the hospital
For talkin' that mess
I confess it's a shame when you livin' in a city
That's the size of a box and nobody knows yo' name
Glad I came to my senses
Like quick, quick got sick, sick to my stomach
Overcommeth by the thoughts of me and her together
Right? So when I asked her out she said, I wasn't her type
I wish I was little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four Impala
I wish I was little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four Impala
I wish I had a brand-new car
So far, I got this hatchback
And everywhere I go, yo I gets laughed at
And when I'm in my car I'm laid back
I got an 8-track and a spare tire in the backseat
But that's flat and do you really wanna know
What's really whack, see I can't even get a date
So, what do you think of that?
I heard that prom night is a bomb night
With the hood rats you can hold tight
But really tho' I 'm a figaro
When I'm in my car, I can't even get a hello
Well, so many people wanna cruise Crenshaw on Sunday
Well, then I'ma have to get in my car and go
You know I take the 110 until the 105
Get off at Crenshaw tell my homies look alive
'Cause it's hard to survive when your livin'
In a concrete jungle
And these girls just keep passin' me by
She looks fly, she looks fly
Makes me say my, my, my
I wish I was little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her

You could even speed on the highway

Name my kids ghetto names
Little Mookie, big Al, Lorraine
Yo you know that's on the real
So if you're down on your luck
Then you should notice how I feel
'Cause if you don't want me around
See I go simple, I go easy, I go greyhound
Hey, you, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Ah, yes, ain't that fresh?
Everybody wants to get down like dat
I wish I was little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good

For one price, for one price, for one price
In the whole history of man, in the whole history of man,
in the whole history of man
All the people on this earth are joined by
(Skee-Lo)
I don't need your sympathy your misery is drivin me insane
You got your hands out but I refrain
From givin you a pound you bloody hound
You better take heed to cause I don't need you to hang around
Now you wasn't cool ever since back when I got jumped
You played the punk and ran a sprint
See one of us is trippin but I was just concerned
At the time I lost my wallet
and you found it stole my money then returned it
You used to claim in front of people we were next of kin
I never knew that you were sleepin with my girlfriend
And if I did I would've bashed you maybe thrashed you
I never asked you homie tell me is it true
Because I knew you were up to no good
Spreadin rumours on me in the neighbourhood
Yeah, so let me bring this to my point
We ain't friends, we ain't homies and we never shared a joint
So you ain't down
(Chorus)
(Skee-Lo)
(You ain't down)
I don't need your sympathy
your simple case of misery has caused me pain
(You ain't down with me no more)
Yeah, you ain't down
(You ain't down)
I don't need your misery
cause mamma said what goes around comes back again
(You ain't down with me no more)
(You ain't down)
(Skee-Lo)
I remember girls in college who was never ever
Among these beautiful women was my favourite name Venetta
Pain, love and agony she's all of the above
I keep thinkin to myself "Oh I don't wanna fall in love"
But oh Venetta I read your letter
And it gets better as I read on down the lines but in my mind
I cannot find out why you wanna diss me
Getting me to fall in love with you and just to say you can't be with me
(You ain't down)
You're messin with my head and although it seems
Your heart is darker than the night so I'm prepared to use my high beams
You had me doin things silly things
Sharin with you my feelings and in the meantime you was killin
Me softly hey women get off me you know you lost me
Hey that's what you get for actin flossy
You caused me to open up my eyes and look around
I see that we ain't friends, we ain't lovers we ain't homies baby
You ain't down
(Chorus)
(Skee-Lo)
(You ain't down)
I don't need your sympathy
your simple case of misery has caused me pain
(You ain't down with me no more)
Yeah, you ain't down
(You ain't down)
I don't need your misery
cause mamma said what goes around comes back again
(You ain't down with me no more)
(You ain't down)
(You ain't down)
I don't need your sympathy
your simple case of misery has caused me pain
(You ain't down with me no more)
Yeah, you ain't down
(You ain't down)
I don't need your misery
cause mamma said what goes around comes back again
(You ain't down with me no more)
(Skee-Lo)
This is dedicated to the kids who ain't crew
You ain't never been down so homie ain't no pounds for you
You'll never know me so don't you try to show me
We can be friends you can now but somehow you did back then
Just to be down with me you don't need a change of heart
Just change your life and your identity
Cause everybody's on my jock tryin to flag me down
When I come around the block
It's all the same the only thing that's changed is
You used to call me puff but now you call me by name
You and your friends get no love, sympathy or pain
If I gave you the chance then you would diss me again
Is it fortune and fame that you persist to be around?
I don't wanna see a smile I don't wanna see a frown
So now you know that's how it was and that's how it is
By the way stay out of my biz
Cause homie you ain't down
(Chorus)
(Skee-Lo)
(You ain't down)
I don't need your sympathy
your simple case of misery has caused me pain
(You ain't down with me no more)
Yeah, you ain't down
(You ain't down)
I don't need your misery
cause mamma said what goes around comes back again
(You ain't down with me no more)
(You ain't down)
(You ain't down)
I don't need your sympathy
your simple case of misery has caused me pain
(You ain't down with me no more)
Yeah, you ain't down
(You ain't down)
I don't need your misery
cause mamma said what goes around comes back again
(You ain't down with me no more)
(You ain't down with me)
(You ain't down with me)

Jump, jump geronimo

And if you forgot or do not then act like you know
If you could see this wannabe I'm makin sure you're readin me
Know of me knew of me let me hear your demo
I rushed it rushed it to the toilet and I flushed it
Cause cuss words are hush words so sshh I'm disgusted
Just sit back baby listen to your radio
Baffled as a bat sayin who is that?
It's the mad, mad ones from Mad Tracks
Makin mad beats for you punks to get mad at
So, if you really want to know to who's beat am I rhymin

If I want a buffalo ruffa-so big
About my chis-nip skills I get ill to make a mill
From the basement of my cris-nip
Wreck shop and get biz with ruff kids
Like Jodeci makin sure you notice me
Or was we emcees but wanted all our enemies to stop
And just run, run from-a cause I'm the done, done-a

Yo nuff respect due to the one who calls me

(Chorus)
(*Come on scratched several times*)
Wait, waitin in the park

You know I'll cross the sea as if my name was Noah
Watch out cause I know ya
Clear across the continent
Cause you know Apacalla like the lickin monument
(So heeey!) I'm famous but never call me nameless
I don't like cookies, never been a rookie

Arrest me protest me do what you wanna
But you no your gonna have to give me props, give me props
I zip like lock grab my microphone and rock bad news on the block
Did you forget forgot sweat me not
Well listen to the sounds of a rapper go pop
The weasel like diesel I fills up your truck
?I lock ya to the talent? so that I make the bucks

Give me a beat so I can flow and I'm gonna wreck that too
Cause I'll be waitin for ya
(Chorus)
(*Come on scratched several times*)
Wait, waitin in the park

(Skee-Lo)
Yeah, this is not the diddy cause the diddy's dum, dum
Now I'm checkin out the sounds of the phat jazz drum
The horns and the samples with the bass and the boom
When added all together it's a phat jazz tune
Listen examine this carefully you can even dance to the beat
Or chill and have a seat or choke of the smoke of a cactus tree
As I'm steady pumpin sounds out my NBC
With the natural ability to make you wanna get down
And maybe slap five to everyone around
So pass me a drink stop and let me think
About the sounds of the street - The Funkadella Beat
So go and get your friends and strap yourselves in
For the journey's of your life the saga now begins
3, 2, 1 contact we have lift off right?
So I'm about to take flight and this is how it sounds
(Skee-Lo)
I freak the funk on the microphone check it baby 1, 2
Cause I got the skills and I thought that maybe you knew
That I can be chilled and have a good time
So when you see me - make sure you throw up your peace signs
Recline, let your mind be free
Till the break of dawn at a club I'll be
So you know to put your dirty hands up in the air
And wave em side to side like you just don't care, yeah
Sister's in the back with the afro's
And the brothers in the corner with the jerboas
And if you haters start trouble you know where to go
And now you're tuned in to the sounds of the Skee-Lo
I take the stage and your aid to another fella emcee
Produce tracks is not whack with sounds from my MP
3, 2, 1 contact we have lift off right?
And so I'm about to take flight and this is how it sounds
(Skee-Lo)
Beats they be infinite and phatter than the pork
The sounds can be heard from Cali to New York
Forget about your troubles forget about your blues
Cause jazz is alive so go and spread the news
And once the news is heard then others can relate
Maybe find the phattest samples from the back of the crates
So chill cool with the breeze microphone check one, two to the three
Break down doors dance on floors and have your fun
Cause the party doesn't stop till the morning comes
Yeah, now I can feel the beats so I'ma kick back for a second
Have a seat yo and this is how it sounds
(Skee-Lo)
This is how it sounds

(Skee-Lo)
Bonsai and oh my
Yippee Kai yai yay
Hello, hello, hello
Hooray, hooray, hooray
I am here to interrupt your regular program
So hey man now don't you touch that dial
Unless we step in single file
Keep it pretty slowly
Cause you know I like to focus on the ease
And you can call me Skee if you please
So come on in, come on in
Come in and give a pound mix and mingle with your friends
Or just have a drink or just sit down
Get up stand up come on throw your hands up
If ya girl is throwin fronts then your brothers keep your chin up
Be cool with the flexin she's in the mood for sexin
You could pop the question but that's just my suggestion
And when the mood is right we can switch it off to candle light
But hold on to your girls cause if you don't well then I might
I know that you just might be in the mood-a
To want to shoot a spark into the dark
But this is just a start
(Chorus)
I'll keep holdin' on
I'll keep holdin' on
(Skee-Lo)
Thinkin back black yo I could remember that high school flame
Now was it Nikki or Lorraine yo what was her name
Anyway she was so cute that back at school I tried to rock it
But she often put her purse to any brothers tryin to knock it
So stop it to get with I got with
But what's this was honey just fakin it that kept me from my ducats
Now the rain has gone I can clearly see
What was we enemies?
Not for long alone is what she wants to be
But what am I to do, what am I do to?
What would you do if you were in the same shoes?
With a bunch of bad news from my hoodrat
Sorry but I gotta scatter I'm movin from the East to the West
So please say God Bless and oh yes see I miss her very much
I wish that I could give her my number so that she could stay in touch
I wonder if she remembers me and what went on
And if she does not understand word is born I'ma keep holdin on
(Chorus)
I'll keep holdin' on
(I'ma keep holdin' on)
I'll keep holdin' on
(Skee-Lo)
Well hello my honey ?dips?
See I'm back from my trip
All the letters you wrote I kept
Do you remember when I left?
I said, "I'm leavin on the next plane
Don't know when I'll be back again"
Kiss me, smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go my little trick-a-dee
Cause life is what you make as we take it as reality
Now we're reunited and it feels so good
You know were reunited and it feels so good
Through the centuries of time heal the rhymes and unwind
Melodies flowin swift with the jazz fill
Kill the lights move in closer to your loved ones
Baby hold em tight like tomorrow never comes
Gaze into the eyes sympathise not the sympathy
Me and Mrs Jones got a marriage going on understand me
Everything is dandy so what can be wrong
And if you now know the song then sing along
(Chorus)
I'll keep holdin' on
I'll keep holdin' on
(My word is true)
I'll keep holdin' on
I'll keep holdin' on
(I'ma keep holdin' on)
I'll keep holdin' on

[Joe Love]
last year when I went home, got in my car and got gone
hit the streets and shot on, 18 years since I'm gone
call my homie Jerome, spoke to his brother Tyrome
who seemed a little distant cause my calls were not persistant
he say Rome went to prison for resistin' arrest
and mamma had a problem wit her chest, what, cardiac arrest
I was hurt and ain't even been here a week
and after all that bad news I couldn't speak
and my toes went weak and my legs went numb
it gets crazy in the streets tryin' to live wit no funds
don't cheat you don't eat, your case you can't beat
public defenders is there to make the deals go sweet
for the prosecution it's like an execution
but you can mae it if you're patient and avoid confusion
it took a while for me to learn this and stay on my feet
but if this rappin' don't happen for me I'm goin' back to the streets
[chorus x2]
street life, street life, street life, street life
street life, street life, street life, street life
[Skee-Lo]
before the day that I blew up back when I grew up
back when I had a shag chewin' gum wearin' chucks
before I even thought about makin' the big bucks
I was busy throwin' rocks at cars and dump trucks
even now I can hear her mamma callin' my full name
me and uncle Joe would be watchin' the Bulls game
before they had Jordan when all you needed was change
to get yourself some candy, some pickles and sugar canes
even then I could feel the streets movin' all through
my veins and everything I seen absorbed in my brain
I'm not afraid to tell it my brother I'm not ashamed
you take a look at me now and look at where I came
Robert Taylor, 4500 on State Street in Chicago
where most of the hoodsters and thugs be
if it hadn't of been for all the people that loved me
and for god's grace life get cruel and ugle in the streets
[chorus x2]
street life, street life, street life, street life
street life, street life, street life, street life
[Skee-Lo]
it's all good
but people don't, got it misunderstood, street code is
simply you stick to your own hood
stay in your own woods and chop your own tree
and if something jumps off pretend you didn't see
keep your mouth shut up, for you get knocked up
ain't no since in tryin' to get somebody else locked up
and that's the truth
that's why I send messages to the youth
hope the lord makes a way out
forget the gang and stay out
cause everybody wants to live in the sunshine
if not right now at least at one time
look back in your mind remember you was a kid
remember before you grew up how innocent you lived
from big wheels to big thrills and big heights
from innocent to killin' your brother for Air Nikes
and I can't believe that none of these things don't
strike y'all brothers in the head like this ain't right
[chorus x2]
street life, street life, street life, street life

I used to think that I was hard
The kind of kid you don't wanna mess wit'
I'll fight you and your bodyguard
I was illeterate, we're talkin' gibberish
But never considerate of the way I treated friends
I would fight ten kids and I would fly all heads
I would even fight dragons 'til they'd be dead
I would presidents and the mayor, you bet
But it's just too bad because I ain't fought yet
You see, I took a slug at no one
But if I ever did, I'll have to show one
That I was like, able to wreck it
I thought I knew but I didn't know
That all the talk in the world doesn't make you a pro
And so, 'cause my first real fight in the hood
I would bash a skull, if I could
But that's when these kids wrecked my world, swept my feet up
Straight got illed and I was nearly killed
It never crossed my mind
[Chorus]
I could go ten different places at one time (all at one time)
I could jump through my ears and walk through my mind (walk through my mind)
I never thought that it could happen to you
I never thought that it could happen to me
But then it happend, see
Coolin' out, chillin' with my homeboy Paul
Now we was chillin', talkin' to ladies up inside of the mall
I got a few numbers and some girl's address
So I was feelin' kinda fly and I was dressed real fresh
We was coolin' as if we didn't care
He was too busy talkin', and so he wasn't aware
That's when he caught a slug to his chest
A hole in his vest, worst of all he made a mess all over the carpet
Started to tumble all over the place
'Cause a bullet has no name, it sees no face
Anyways, this girl pulled a trigger on us
She was tryin' to kill the man who's next to the man
Who's next to the man...what?
And that's all he gots to give
He's ready to die, but I'm hopin' he lives
It never crossed his mind
[Chorus]
For my groupies, why must you do me?
You never knew me, so what makes you hot for me?
Is it fortune and fame just because of my name
You wanna tell your friends that you did it Skee
See, we can't be, because there is no us
You and I won't happen, so don't make no fuss
Now we could persist with a hug and a kiss
But I can't help but wonder "who's daughter is this?"
I'm glad you respect me, now let me respect you
If I was a dog, then I might want you
But if you want it that bad, then baby, don't get mad
Because you're welcome to share with the rest of my crew
Now that's on you
I know you fellas who ain't wit' it
You're thinkin' "like, dang Skee, why don't you hit it? do that, yeah!"
But you better think again
Next groupie could be your girlfriend
Just in case it never crossed your mind
[Chorus]
You never what could happen
Everyday situations
It could happen you're going to the store
Somebody drop a house on you and steal yo' slippers
Who knows?

If you don't mind
(If you don't mind)
We'd like to play somethin'
(Play somethin')
Gloria, pick up I know your there
Stop frontin' just pick up
Aight look, look I know I messed up
But check it out just listen
I'm leavin' you this message spotly 'cause I miss you
I didn't mean to diss you but sometimes I slip, ya got me
Stumblin' over boulders, lookin' over my shoulders
Hopin' you're behind me but the sun blinds my vision
No competition 'cause I'm wishin' and hopin'
That we could go to Canada, and Ann Lee lopin' but nopin'
I know you caught playin' with your heart
Shoulda known that I was up to no good from the start
Little Hoodrat who's that guy I saw you walkin' with
Talkin' with, actin' like he's wit ya
Just like 2 Pac you know I get around
But I didn't mean to get around with your little sister
Think I was lookin' for your friend so let me try again
To prove myself 'cause I don't want nobody else
It's been seven hours and 16 days since you took your love away
So I just want to say that you should
Come back to me, come back to me
Baby, baby please come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
Baby, baby please come back to me
Oh, stacker, cracker I'm the one who's badder
One step, two step, three step four
Oh, are you sure that you really want to leave me
I tell you that I love you but I don't think you believe me
I never meant you any wrong my dear
Besides yo you can't believe everything you hear
So just like Stevie I wonder is there water all under the bridge
It's thrillin' but lately I've had this strangest feelin' like Jodeci
I'm goin' through the emotions so baby won't you just stay okay
I'm tryin' to get you offa my mind but you just won't go away
In fact just the other day I was coolin' at a party on a Friday
Doin' things my way chillin' with my cousin Shareef
A girl walks my way couldn't say get away
'Cause then again it goes against my Islamic believes
So I'm a big game to get to know the honeys name
'Cause you know that I was lookin' for a real good time
She was fine so I kicked a few lines
But I couldn't get ya out my mind, get ya out of my mind, so
Come back to me, come back to me
Baby, baby please come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
Baby, baby please come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
Baby, baby please come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
Baby, baby please come back
All the real good ships of lollipops
Stop for a second and listen to ya heart
And if ya still say no then I'm gonna have to let you go with it
And wave goodbye and give one last cry
'Cause I'm not goin' to take it no more so don't do that
Can't keep breakin' my heart so don't pursue that
Time has been wasted time has been spent
Pain is the essence but not my intent
So gaze through the woods and stop through the meadows
'Cause I love Lucy like Bill love Jello
And if you ever change your mind one day
Then you know where I stay just a block away and I wait for you to
Come back to me, come back to me
Baby, baby please come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
Baby, baby please come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
Baby, baby please come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
Baby, baby please come back
Do you like the music, do you, do you like the music

Crenshaw on Sunday night
(Skee-Lo)
Drinkin up my friends me and Funke Trend

When I get the Jefferson and I'm bustin at you

On my eyes is the locs freaks all around
They' be tryin to be down because I'm Skee-Lo yo

A daily special for Funke

Stand with women that stack with Toni Brax
Brothers left they straps and gats at the pack
The just askin for some Jimmy hats so they can tax
But I'ma max and relax and enjoy my bomb day
Crenshaw on Sundays
(Chorus)
Crenshaw on Sunday night
Slowin down to forty five

Bumper to bumper people frontin Crenshaw fun
And do flossin on slossin cars parkin music bumpin
Nobody dumpin nobody startin nothin
We just kickin it and getting digits
On one time be givin tickets
But I'm straight with up to date tags on my plates
The boulevard is hot from spot to spot watch your block
All the homies be comin from Long Beach, Compton and Wash
This song is props and all the cops can do is watch
It's two 'o' clock am and we still at the parkin lot
Coverin freaks with the camera it's like the freak net in the Atlanta
Georgia, with more hoes than Santa told ya
West Coast will be havin more hoochies for ya I wanna know ya
That's the type of game that I'm spittin
Rollin up and down the strip steady dippin is how I'm livin
Ain't no fun if the homies can't come
Show ya ride we all packed in the bag at the Shaw on Sunday night
(Chorus)

Slowin down to forty five

Slowin down to forty five

Slowin down to forty five
Crenshaw on Sunday night
Slowin down to forty five
Crenshaw on Sunday night

[Skee-Lo]
we fall and we bounce back I bet you an ounce that
my lyrics make sense and the base line's phat
this life that I'm livin' is so sweet that
I'm constantly chased by millions of hoodrats
in the same room I see them all at one time
yellin' Drew better get you a freak I got mine
and I know she probably be wit me in no time
cause it's gold on my watch and money on my mind
plus I'm rollin' a Lex that's on 20's
serious about my sound so my amps be
fillin' up most of the space that be empty
don't want to take yo chick so don't tempt me
can't get it out my head
this thought I had when I got out of bed
as I looked at the mirror at myself and said
got to call Big Chris, Drewskee and Tez
see what's crackin' tonight
[chorus x2: Kozii]
do it tonight
all night
let's get it started right
[Drewskee]
sittin' in the casino surrounded by women
up twenty thousand tryin' to cash in my winnings
Hennessey on the rocks got my head spinnin'
baby see me count my money then she started grinnin'
can I go wit you she said me and my friend
and I'm lookin' for Skee-Lo so we can tag team him
call him on the celly phone, what's goin' on
tonight's the night like Betty Wright
let's get it on
I got two ladies say they really like your music
they say they not groupies but still they want to do me
you tell them that we ain't spendin' a dime
I ain't got to tell them nothing they still stuck in '99
plus I'm not wastin' your time
what these freaks look like
well, mines is tight but yours is fine
I'ma tell you one more time
you need to hit me back on the line
let me know what's up for tonight
[chorus: Kozii]
do it tonight
all night
let's get it started right
[Skee-Lo]
say Drew these brothers ain't done nothing new
and for everything they did we done done that too
let them go ahead and stare skeeter don't care
I crush the player hater out of anybody in there
even padlocks ain't safe from mattlock
you shouldn't have got me started I told you I can't stop
makin' your heart drop, makin' you kids watch
I'll make you wanna party wit everyone on your block
thinkin' you top notch you trippin' like hop schotch
my lyrics is blue prints two chicks on Bay Watch
for exposure, we get wet and smoke doja
everybody know about Skee I gots flow I
don't mess wit none of these women that's mintelosha
everybody tryin' to get a sip of my Momosa
[chorus: Kozii]
do it tonight
all night

[Skee-Lo]
the other day I was cruisin' the shaw I seen Jay
the big homey from Oakland runs the bay
I used to be in love wit his sister back in the day
had to holler at him see what he had to say
it's good to see him now and know that he's ok
he asked how I was doin' and then proceeded to say
what happened to the record, what's up wit the air-play
politics too many haters is in the way
it's ok now but really it's no excuse
I can tell you how it all went down but what's the use
it's a lot of people walkin' around wit there tounges loose
and I don't care what nobody tell you I got juice
takin' it day by day, do or die
hustlin', imagine this game wit I
did you think I would just lay back and not try
I'ma bounce back, get on my feet, get on my hustle man
[Chorus x2: Skee-Lo]
if you can go anywhere in this world where would it be
it depends on how much in this life you wanna see
and to get there can't be cheap it ain't free
gotta bounce back, get on your feet, get on your hustle man
[Skee-Lo]
do the math focus and stay on the right path
forget about the busters and snitches that all laugh
you know people when they see money they wanna grab
greed, how much money you wanna have
stay away from criminal act and crack labs
quick money ain't no money it turns bad
trust god make him the only friend you have
instead of short brothers wit tempers that get mad
whenever there's somebody that's tryin' to limit you tho'
downin' you tellin' you places you can't go
you got to have faith in yourself you gotta show
their opinions really ain't worth nothing they don't know
it's a whole lotta player involved you ain't seen
that ain't been half the places that you been
I'm tellin' you all you brothers that want cream
bounce back, get on your feet, get on your hustle man
[Chorus x2: Skee-Lo]
if you can go anywhere in this world where would it be
it depends on how much in this life you wanna see
and to get there can't be cheap it ain't free
gotta bounce back, get on your feet, get on your hustle man
[Skee-Lo]
will you go to the top, will you settle for crumbs
I hope you ain't none of these brothers that act dumb
never learned to chill and relax and have fun
steady livin' life in the shade wit no sun
you got to learn to deal wit your problems you can't run
how you gonna ever advance to number one
and settle for number two that's something I can't feel
got bein' broke mixed up wit bein' real
keep it real brothers, stay on your feet, get on your hustle
if you can do it without force use muscle
walk soft carry a stick ready to tussle
your friends really ain't your friends and don't trust you
wait for the day that you fall and hope and pray
you probably owe some of them money and can't pay
and you wanna know what I do think what do I say
bounce back, get on your feet, get on your hustle man
[Chorus x2: Skee-Lo]
if you can go anywhere in this world where would it be
it depends on how much in this life you wanna see
and to get there can't be cheap it ain't free

(Skee-Lo)
Growin up as a kid tough skins and Afros
Wasn't South Central, but still it came natural
There wasn't nobody to watch my back
Didn't wanna be strapped to get jacked
Mama taught me not to trust no man
Brother what's your plan?
If you ever lose a fight, then you go back again and win
And I don't care if it was one of your friends
You better bury your feelings within
And understand that on top of the stairs
They got keys to Catalacs BMW's Mercedes, Benz and all of that
And on top of the stairs yeah
They got colour TV's and even girls come in two pairs
And on the bottom you've got nothin but guilt
Bad feelings bein kept homies been killed
When I die always know that I never was see my little brother drop
So you better stay on top
(Chorus)
(Skee-Lo)
Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom
No one really cares about the guy beneath
And everybody wants to be down with the dude
On top of the stairs, top of the stairs
Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom
No one really cares about the guy beneath
And everybody wants to be down with the dude
On top of the stairs, top of the stairs
(Skee-Lo)
Little brother look around you, can't you see
All the possibilities and we, you and me
To the bang boogie up jump the boogie
to the boogie to the boogie to the beat, I'ma emcee
I spent three years in Mickey D's cleanin dishes
Half of that time was makin wishes
Want ya hit switches in a brand new six-fo'
But all I could afford was another nine and Roseau's Chicken and Waffles
How bout that Honda Cord
Used to watch drop by at night till I got bored
But not no more really that's for sure
Cause I gotta million honeys knockin on my door
And I'm not tryin to score with one
Cause diseases kill and that's ill
To make a mill in you gettin done
When you on top of the world girls may come
But when you fall down you won't find one
(Chorus)
(Skee-Lo)
Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom
No one really cares about the guy beneath
And everybody wants to be down with the dude
On top of the stairs, top of the stairs
Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom
No one really cares about the guy beneath
And everybody wants to be down with the dude
On top of the stairs, top of the stairs
(Skee-Lo)
Little brother this is all we got
Me and you will be cruel
Even though it doesn't seem like a lot, it is
So don't be thinkin negative
I know just how you feel when you got time to kill I'll tell you how it is
I know you might be unsure
Cause it gets rough out there and when it rains and pours
I stole shoes from stores hung out with cool cats
Put cars on flats broke windows with bats
And that's not all even made prank phone calls
I was flossin and sloshin in Fox Hills Mall (So whattup y'all?)
After all please check my credentials
I once got busy in the whenchles yeah
So throw your hands in the air
Wave em around if you've been treated unfair
Yeah cause no one cares (no one cares, no one cares)
Top of the stairs (top of the stairs, top of the stairs)
(Chorus)
(Skee-Lo)
Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom
No one really cares about the guy beneath
And everybody wants to be down with the dude
On top of the stairs, top of the stairs
Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom
No one really cares about the guy beneath
And everybody wants to be down with the dude
On top of the stairs, top of the stairs
Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom
No one really cares about the guy beneath
And everybody wants to be down with the dude
On top of the stairs, top of the stairs
Cause no one really cares about the guy on the bottom
No one really cares about the guy beneath
And everybody wants to be down with the dude
On top of the stairs, top of the stairs
(Skee-Lo)
Yeah to all my little brothers out there
It's cool to be on top, but don't ever forget where you came from
Most importantly you better remember
The little guy you step on to get on top
Is the same guy you gonna run into goin back down

Ah, how many brothers been charged?
Go through wires and set fires in my garage
Sabotage, I'm coming to you fools in camafloughe
Gods must be crazy, stole yo' style from the eighties
Lookin' at that show lady, why she look like Brady?
Shady business, wanna stop and look at my profile
People like me be catching girls with Kangol hats on Argyl
Styles, skills, I get ill everytime I rhyme
Quantum leaps stole my jeep, gonna catch that fool in time
'Cause I'm Skeeter, Mr. Nine Milimeeter, with bad aim
Fame, Now I'm gonna live forever, never say die
Bronze eyed and black guy with a black eye, fat lip, wanna set trip
Dang y'all, look at my watch, I gotta shake this spot
So pow, look at this brother with stilts
Thinkin' his name was Skeeter, Mr. Nine Millimeeter
What the? holy cow
A brother hung a couple of sings from these trees
The day that I became an MC
[Chorus]
I'm your idol like Micheal, so won't you beat it
I'm deader like Shredder, I joined the Foot now I can't be defeated
Mis-treated MC's like it was the eighties
My style is tigher than a wet lycra on a two hundred and fifty pound lady
Maybe, maybe not
Maybe you should check that
Pop this in yo' tape deck, play me in yo' cassette
On Channel 7 News At 11 watch these fools get hurt
Have you more confused than a Christian reading a bible in a Muslim church
Come down to earth, now ask yourself is worth
Losing your title in a rap recitle?
I've been vital since my birth
MC's get vaided 'cause I'm over-rated
And if you laughed it, you ran
But when I blast it, you lucky you made it
I'm the most hated MC, just like the OB
You'll be outy like last year, cookin' like Gary Coleman
'Cause no man, no children or woman can get with the Super
I got the West Coast sewn up and I load up your spot trooper
And ain't no to be continuied
When I get in you get looser
Hope that you get used to losing
So shut up and start thinking
Before I leave you danglin' from my mic cords
And you hear me swingin'
[Chorus]
Put yo' gun away, Superman don't run away
See I got x-ray, I can spot you like OJ on the freeway
But anyway, we can do this all today
'Cause I embarass more people on national telivision than Richard Baye
Today's topic: "MC's who set-up for beat downs"
Sit down and tell me about your last lyrical melt-down
You come to battle you get beat like drums
And I'm a put you on the bus and send you back to where you came from
And I don't care if you don't like me now
You go home and tell your friends I'm the mighty one
AKA Skeeter, Mr. Nine Milimeeter, with bad aim
Also known as Skee-Lo, but you can call me Supreman
Super, Superman
You know they call me Superman

Your words make your head seem pretty big
But will they help me understand?
Will they hide me from your hand?
Your eyes lit up just as Jesus said
Our God seems poor, hungry and sad
Shall we cheer him up as well?
Shall we sip a cup of hell to make us strong?
Your son, he looks just like Peter Pan
But with a huge gun in his hand
Will it help him dig his hole?
Will it keep him from the cold, the lame, the ugly?
And all we need is peace in our savannah
And our savannah is just a piece of what we need
We believe...
Your hair, it looks shocking as can be
And it's probably what set you free
But will it help you love your child?
Will it make me look so wild, so fun, so pretty?
So pretty, so pretty, so pretty, so pretty, soap ready, soap ready
