D.E.F.

(verse one) I'm the beat box original Cool individual Rockin' for no one,some funds is my residual Salary,calories in just one rhyme Would last any even a whole life time Dictate,conversate,translate,lose weight From 1987-88 And the years to come The bass will still be dumb And bounce Sellin' DEF rhymes by the ounce And if you ain't wit it it's the thought that counts (chorus) Cause they call me Doug E. Fresh Cause known I'm DEF and the initials of my name is D.E.F Know what I'm sayin' I ain't playin' Picture this... (verse two) Standing outside in the front of the place Eyes hypnotized by the sound of the bass Kickin' it wicked I wonder who it is performing Cops barricade so the crowd won't storm in I'm in the middle of this and and I'm left unknowin Standing and plannin' if the groups not showin up But the tension of the crowd is growin up Out of adolescence to a full size problem And if I have problems I solve them and they,and they (chorus) (verse three) Pointed in the direction headed for the door As my mind recalls being through this before So I'm figuring and adding and here I am mad In a way getting closer to the metal detector Pass my shank to the cut professor I was taught to never roam as they check my home boy And find out the shank ain't nuthin but a comb Through a distant block I didn't come to rock I came to put the whole place in shock But this girl followed me just like a shadow I told her to chill because I know the girl Had no reason for teasin' Because it ain't skeezin' season Me and the fellas were just breezin' on by I didn't want to dis'her so I said Hi And capitalize in what I specialize in And begin to get down into something more important While the Dj spins the records And I recon without double checkin' I have you spell bound in the average of a second or less (chorus) Cut it up Will Cut it up Barry Cut,cut,cut,cut Cuttin up Cut it up
