Gather Round

"Gather round!" Gather round and check the flow! (Repeat 4x) Ayo check it Now the ultraviolet seems to have me slippin Well I'm on guard son, there'll be no ass whippings Behind my back, I know MC's be tripping Some say "What's up?" Some stick out their bottom lip and I motivate, spark the L then skate There's no debate, I put the funk on your plate So get it straight, it's the lyrical mechanic I cause a panic, of depression that's manic Harder than granite, I revolve like the planet And got the game to leave the chickenheads enchanted Word to Janet, and her brother Jackie I put the squeeze on mommies like Pataki "Gather round!" Gather round and check the flow! (Repeat 4x) Now, I dehydrate your body just like a Heinekin Tip-toe through your tulips like Tiny Tim Back up son, it's Diamond D and his mighty men You wanna see a show? Call Chris Lighty and I'll come to your town, tear the walls down Pound for pound I gets down for my crown I gets busy, you can ask my nigga Wizzy I'm slicker than that fox found on Thin Lizzy You wonder "Is he, slacking?" But I'm a mack and I'm always packing, cause niggas don't know how to act and They wanna riff, made because I got the gift Enjoying a spliff, on 125th I roll on your set like a brand new Perelli Got more charisma than Arthur Fonzarelli Got a belly, but that don't slow me down in a telly Put it on ya like the Claw did Jim Kelly "Gather round!" Gather round and check the flow! (Repeat 4x) Now check it To all my foes you can just keep hushin The stage ain't the place you wanna be rushin Cause there'll take place a spontaneous combustion Life's a game of chess and I play like a Russian I mean to win, pass me the gin and a pen And on a skin, I spend no more than a Benjamin Franklin, and I'm off to the bank and I roll with a crew that passes out the most spankings This side of the Mason Dixon I bought your tape and I erased it like Nixon In Watergate, mom don't blame me if your daughter's late Cause she was hooking, one of my niggas saw the bate I bob and weave like Julio Chavez Vacate in San Juan or ?Nisna Budez? Trying to get these beaches, I cut off the dreads Make MC's run like they just seen the Feds Live life for '96 that's my motto Look out for my peeps like Alphonse D'Amato Witty and shifty describes my sticcatto Peace dun, the lyrical desperado "Gather round!" Gather round and check the flow! (Repeat 8x)
