Well Now don't you tell me to SMILE | |
You stick around I'll make it worth your WHILE | |
Got numbers beyond what you can DIAL | |
Maybe it's because I'm so VERSATILE | |
STYLE profile I SAID | |
It always brings me back when I hear Ooh CHILD | |
From the Hudson River out to the NILE | |
I run the marathon til the very last MILE | |
If you battle me I will REVILE | |
People always say my STYLE is WILD | |
You've got gall you've got GUILE | |
To step to me I'm a RAPOPHILE | |
If you want to battle you're in DENIAL | |
Coming from Uranus to check my STYLE | |
Go ahead put my rhymes on TRIAL | |
Cast you off into EXILE |
