DJ E-Z Rock - Don't Sleep on It lyrics

Artist: Rob Base and D.J. E-Z Rock Album: It Takes Two Song: Don't Sleep on It Emcees, tryin' ta play post, play me up close, brag and boast Ya know Things like that make me weary, but I never let a rapper get near me, cuz I'm Rob Base, pick up the pace It takes more than beats to rock this place It takes more than rhymes to rock this time Rhyme for rhyme, the Base design M.C.'s get mad, cuz I'm blowin' up To every battle, the Base keeps showin' up A fast tempo, a-with a hook Don't judge a book by the way that the cover look Cuz I'm mean, reign supreme Wrote my first rhyme at the age of fifteen I'm like a match, when struck I burn Not concerned cuz I'm sure that ya won't learn Now git up, and let's start I wanna see which s**a got heart I get fresh as I get older Every time I rock I get bolder So don't sleep, and say I'm wack Cuz if ya do ya get backslap (backslap) Chorus: If it's not in your vision Don't sleep on it Don't sleep on it Don't make a-no decision TURN IT UP! (On the ba** right now) Drop your ego, and let me go And just show what I know cuz I'm on the go I rock smooth, bust a move, hit me And the way I perform, you can't forget me Clear off the smoke, this ain't a joke The new kid on the block is like dope Been here for a while, been all punishment But now I'm on (I'mon), so let's start it No I'm not retarded, or either crazy I work hard, I'm not lazy Rappers don't faze me, or eith-amaze me Or either come up close and just graze me Coolin', neva be a fool, and Gimme just a little mo' time I be rulin Tell it to the mack, cuz I'm on wax But should I pay tac, or should I just act To get a new job, yes, time is what I'm pressed for Every time I perform ya want more so (so...) Chorus Aaaaaah, break it down, to get the dope sound Then hang around with the posse from Uptown On the Ave, they get cash But I leave it alone cuz I'm a smash On the mic, I think differently, a-from another or other MC who Intervene, try to just rip up the Rob on the sneak tip I get mad, they get sad, or either rag the had cuz I'm that bad I'm not frontin', cuz this is my theory You don't believe me, so just hear me I rock harder, I rock longer I do this cuz I gotta get stronger A lotta rappers rhyme harder, and meaner But I rhyme with the sound that's cleaner "I ain't nuthin'", that's what they say Well OK if they wanna play that way Cuz I'm Rob bu*tkickin' Base What rapper's next to be erased? On my list, I'm not known to diss But I'll do it, so don't sleep on this, c'mon Chorus Hit it, admit it, ya did it, ya can't fit it So forget it cuz I know you ain't wit' it In the centre, I didn't rent her Sat 'cha bu*t in the chair, got a splintuh! Back in the days, amazed by the rap phrase Rap today, to me it don't faaaaaaze me I'm not another M.C., or angry by the way ya speak to me Jealousy; what makes you wanna battle me Dope beats; what makes you wanna idol me It ain't nuthin' to me or E-Z Cuz I'm the R, the O, the B, and he's E-Z I bust a fee wherever it be, ya see He or me, the E, the Z, the A, the B Alphabet's from A to Z, ya see I'm not tryin' to confuse your mind I'm just tryin' to pump this plain old fresh rhyme I stay calm, rap like a pro I know ya know, so let's go, c'mon! Chorus Now E-Z Rock, you remember how we did it before I want you to do it one more time, for ya mind 1-2-3, give it to 'em If it's not (scratching) Don't sleep on it, come on! If it, if it, if it's not (scratching) Don't sleep on it, come on! (To fade)
