(Whoah) A lot of funk to make you say, "Aow, C.L. how?"
Cause all I know is listen, can I get mines now? (Say what?)
In my verse brain cells burst so beep the nurse
for the knowledge cause the worst niggaz talk garbage
A mean machine, to light it like kerosene
My cuisine is how David killed the freakin Philistines (uh-huh..)
Begin to sin, with the devilish grin
so me and my kin, can win and break bread when the record spin
(Yeah..) My love is real Ock, a lyrical buildin block
with incredible settable pure funk of Pete Rock (woo-WHOO!)
Forget the soup of the day, cause niggaz are gassin

Got a rhyme so chunky it's amazin G
I make you think the Fat Boys are back on crazy (YEAH)
Major Mecca's in Asia when I date her
Some old flavor by the sun moon and stars and over the equator
Universally thirstin me to show no mercy
to madmen, the Devil wanna send (YEAH)
Word to life money ain't a rapper livin I can't run though so

So box and throw rocks, fish or cut bait
Even if I was a lightweight, I still fight great (UHH)
I double em up and shuffle em down, combinate, stick n move around
til you work me up an appetite to fight
Like a nick in the paint, think it is when it ain't
With no more restraint I make a frail opponent faint (OH!)
You need to get your ears glued to soul food
that makes you boogie til your nude and you never get rescued
(OW!) Now waiter take an order simply nothin shorter
than the lamb to the slaughter recorder I'm flowin like water
(YES..) Since you're popular, I see nothin stoppin ya
from generatin lucci livin larger than Gucci, HELLO
It's Mecca's hour when the man is in power

Word to life, ain't a rapper livin I can't run though so

You know who's the one, the man that gets the job done (yeah)
It's rare, the sound that you hear is so original
You can't copy it down, so let it be subliminal (AOWW)
You can't rock like the Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth (aw yeah)
Together forever, like G. Rap says, "YOU LOSE!"
So pull up a chair and relax and let the music flow
And leave you on that note cause I'm read' to go (yeah..)
