Pharoahe's Official like starter, hit harder than Fort Green
Authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
[Unverified] behind the back like makin' 'em all fiend
From my intricate ways to shake ya whole team
Official, starter hit harder than Fort Green
No authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
Permitted behind the back like makin' 'em all fiend
For my intricate ways to break ya whole team
My style, make the whole crowd Se-au
Like number 55 on the chargers
I promise thee I dodge a nigga like Raul Mondesi
Somberly stay calm, fighting means like Natrone
The bomb, like Hail Mary's inflated wit napalm
Rap please us, deliver scriptures similar to Jesus
That you couldn't catch if you was Ivan Rodriguez
So don't compete within the zone where the [unverified] is
I'm on the phone in the luxury box like George Steinbrenner
The owner, makin' you give your diamond-back like Arizona
Winnin' always Indian like Chief Nakahoma
Sock a nigga in his face, Pharoahe's the sporting authority
Blacks attracted to my rap like [unverified]
You already fucked up when you stepped up to bat
Strike, strike, strike, that's that
(One two, three)
Pharoahe's Official like starter, hit harder than Fort Green
Authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
[Unverified] behind the back like makin' 'em all fiend
For my intricate ways to break ya whole team
Official like starter, hit harder than Fort Green
No authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
Permitted behind the back like makin' 'em all fiend
For my intricate ways to shake ya whole team
Yo, the realness stuck, females blauch my knob like Chuck
Dispense to standing in count commence to rebound like Buck Williams
Triple Crown threat to score, plus the bonus strange
Without the Rover, more range than Rey Ordonez
One of the MC's flip my kind of grammar on the break
Three on one like Phi Slamma Jamma
Serve a slot, a curve-splitter-knuckleball-spitter-change
Every rhyme hid a bitter note, quote, "Get a game"
Not Allen Iverson, forget crossin' over shake men
Similar to Troy, I bring the pain destined to Aik-man
Break men off, take men out, make me wanna slander
Prime time, my rhyme defense beyond Deion Sanders
I walk the earth with my Rod in this Strick-land
Promise, people thought I was Thomas Hearns the way I hit man
Pharoahe's Official like starter, hit harder than Fort Green
Authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
[Unverified] behind the back like makin' 'em all fiend
For my intricate ways to break ya whole team
Official like starter, hit harder than Fort Green
No authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
Permitted behind the back like makin' 'em all fiend
For my intricate ways to shake ya whole team
(Official)
Yeah yeah, come on come on
It's Lee Stone, Pharoahe Monch for real
Wit the Official hip hop to kill
Know what's the deal, come on check it
Yo, yo, yo, Pharoahe's Official like starter, hit harder than Fort Green
Authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
Then hid it behind the back like makin' 'em all fiend
For my intricate way ta-ta-ta-ta, yo, yo
Official like Starter, hit harder than Fort Green
Authentic, Nike, Adidas and Spalding
The minute behind the back like makin' em all fiend
For my intircate way ta-ta-ta-ta
Yo, I stick around like hockey, now what the puck
Cooler than fuck, maneuver like Vancouver Canucks
In ya speaker, destroy your woofer, mids and tweeters
Not Wolverine but still I hold claws like Shameeka
Water Boys get slaughtered automatic like Bobby Boucher
Push ya wig back like Marv Albert's toupe
Blaze a trail like Portland on a track that'll amaze ya
Omnipotent on the D like Clyde Frazier
Slide, phase ya, glide get off the uhh

[DJ scratches up "Ooh, it's time"]
[Chorus:]
Oh, yeah - Well the bell has rung because the time is here
Oh, yeah - We gotta switch it around and put the thang in gear
Oh, yeah - Not much is for sure, but this here is true
Oh, yeah - I gotta do it for me, but then I'll do it for you
Major attraction, trouble distraction
Scramble up my name and it still come action
Music's our number, dial to sue slumber
Open up your ears to the low tint of thunder
Creative Queens native, mixes are the Native
Want some fresh shit? Then we're correlative
Busta is ferocious, unflawed and precocious
Airin fools out 'cause my willy bodacious
Peoples don't blame me, shorties can't game me
Country Cherokee but the city here made me
Rock like coral, distinctive 'bout my orals
Got lil' grime and got lotta laurels
The rhythm stay bangin, my one-two thangin
Is exemplified by the comp left hangin
Percussion's our weapons, drums are Smith & Wesson's
Lyrics poppin off leaving deep impressions
[DJ scratches up "Ooh, it's time"]
[Chorus]
Yo, I feel what the beat does, people fuck with me 'cause
When the song end, I become what the beat was
Same thing as other, no need for cookie cutter
The bar gets raised, not your average old gutter
For that I hit a chin up, B, ya time been up
Would've came sooner but I overslept my get-up
Now let's get in the middle, girl I'll solve your riddle
'Cause we can be strong and protect against the brittle
If groupies need to see me, go and get the CD
I aerosol you all top to bottom like graffiti
Biz {? } lot and, dudes say I'm pardon
When you hear the music, thus begins the Mardi Gras and
Rhymes ain't the issue, that's how I'm gon' get you
Don't need a Billboard hit for me to +hit+ you
The clairvoyant micist, who ALWAYS come the tightest
Queens everywhere demostratin who the flyest
[Chorus 2:]
Oh, yeah - Well the bell has rung because the time is here
Mmm, mmm - We gotta change it around and put our thang in gear
Oh, yeah - Not much is for sure, but this thang is true
Mmm, mmm - Gotta do it for me and then I'll do it for you
Oh - Ohhh, gotta do it for me and then I'll do it for you
Oh - Yeah, gotta do it for me and then I'll do it for you

The beauty is gone - move on

Yeah, yeah and I'm feelin official
Got my high class chick and she lookin official
Everytime she come around
She look better than the rest
Bet you never ever seen another girl like this
Like this, like this
Bet you never ever seen another girl like this
And I'm bout to scoop my chick up
I pick her up and we take a ride and I'm feelin so official
If you disagree I'd say you trippin and
Don't like that I'm gettin it
Still a young one, enterin my prime
Livin it up one day at a time
First we hit a restaurant, yeah you know, high class
I'm lookin at her fine ass while I'm sippin on this wine glass
So I let the time pass and I let the mood kick in
Attraction growin stronger every minute that we sippin
Now we dippin to a movie and we lovin this night
Let me open the trunk I got a present inside
I'm bout to, bout to blow ya mind cuz I know how to handle ya
I cover every angle, some-somethin like a camera
Been a rush, been makin her blush
Diggin this girl and I can't get enough
And she can't either, don't trick but I treat her
Swipin a Visa, like it ain't nothin
I ain't bluffin, better believe it
Known to be confident, not conceited
Expectations I bet I've exceeded
Next time I see her she'll happily greet me
Yeah, yeah and I'm feelin official
Got my high class chick and she lookin official
Everytime she come around
She look better than the rest
Bet you never ever seen another girl like this
Like this, like this
Bet you never ever seen another girl like this
I got my high class chick
And she tellin me she wantin it all over again
So we pour a little tonic and we mix it with Gin
You can forget about your ex cuz I ain't nothin like him
I been the one that you run too, bump it and you go dumb too
And I ain't talkin shoes when I say that I wanna pump you
Girl come here I'm feelin you it's simple as that
And when I'm busy leave a message and I'll hit you right back
Rat-a-tat-tat how I'm makin hits
Like a nice girl but I love a bitch
Love how ya feelin me up
Love the confidence in her strut
This chick got me trippin, to the bedroom and we flippin out
Doin it dirty like we in the South
All started out with some mouth to mouth
Then her clothes came off and I went to town
Pressin on her body, fluid movement never sloppy
Every minute she beside me got us feelin like insomniacs
We ain't never sleepin cuz we imbetween the sheets and
Under covers steady freakin so you know right where to find me at
Yeah, yeah and I'm feelin official
Got my high class chick and she lookin official
Everytime she come around
She look better than the rest
Bet you never ever seen another girl like this
Like this, like this
Bet you never ever seen another girl like this
So we had a great time
I'm a treat you like a queen, so come on and be mine
My approach is not a joke more like a flawless design
Honestly I had a little too much got too twisted all because I had too much
wine
Get a little better with time and I'm tellin you I had a hella good night
Hard to say goodbye so I had to make sure that we met up again
Cuz I'm tryna be more then friends, sinnin everytime we meetin
Well that's relatively speakin, things are free for a reason
So I never will be cheap and, you know I go crazy
When it comes to pleasin my lady
And the rest of them don't get my attention so they hate me baby
Maybe cuz you special? No basketball but I press you
Do it all to impress you and its been that way since I met you
Yeah, so we should do this again
And again and again and again and again
I love ya grin when ya smile and ya tellin ya friends
That you ain't never met another guy quite like him
Yeah, yeah and I'm feelin official
Got my high class chick and she lookin official
Everytime she come around
She look better than the rest
Bet you never ever seen another girl like this
Like this, like this

It's official now
