I'm good But I probably should prove it to ya Or else you could just pa** me off As another motherf**er sayin' the same thing I'd be hurt but I couldn't be blaming you Because more than a few be claiming (through?) Their raps is exactly that And never half as phat as what their hypin' it up to be Inevitably what it sounds like to me And I'm sure to you as well cause you're discerning clientele Connoisseurs, know how I can tell? You're listenin' to this. It's elementary, my dear Format Although I'm not a sleuth Stooped with a sore back It's just simple deduction My friend Which brings us to the end Of the beginning Although of course there's still more to come But first we gotta let that chorus run So, run it -Chorus- I'm good Get it straight: I'm great Could you demonstrate? Yeah, go tell your mates To gather 'round, and check the sound Of Abdominal and Format Throwin' down. We're good Get it straight: We're great Could you demonstrate? Yeah, we won't hesitate I'm good Just as good as it gets Eat a chicken vindaloo in a sauna Won't bust a sweat I'll walk a tight rope made of barb wire in my bare feet Over a moat full of crocodiles with scary teeth Fight a bear with an arm tied behind my back Eat an anthrax sandwich when it's time for a snack Wash it down with a hot cup of cobra blood Smoke a rain forest like you might toke a bud And (cup?) a 4 by 100 gazelle relay squad Reach a stalemate in chess with God. While playing Vishnu and Buddha on alternate boards Pick scraps of meat out of my teeth with swords Forged in the fires of Hell Vocal cords similarly rugged Like tortoise shells from prehistoric eras I swear, don't get me started on lung capacity Because the air accumulated in my lungs after just one breath Enough to inflate an alpha male mountain gorilla's chest Verbally dexterous Like Oxford-trained auctioneers Abdominal: Vocab Pioneer Stretchin' the frontiers of speech past where they once stood i.e., I'm good (Chorus and bridge) I'm good But that's quite a vague adjective So let me try to present a more selective profile of precisely how good I am: First of all, I'm dope Not to mention, the man Fantastic, terrific, slickest, the wickedest tight, fresh, nice Magnificent outstanding, slamming, above par Flawless Let's not forget: Best by far Impeccable, exceptional, unparalleled Delectable, invincible, and very swell Gripping, grand, glorious, impressive, envied, victorious Tres bien, muy bien, molto bene Out-of-this-world slash heavenly Amazing, totally awesome, rad Exquisite, superb, on-point, plus bad But, yo Don't get it twisted Not "bad" meaning bad But "bad" meaning "the sh**", kid And get that one straight, too Not "the sh**" meaning the sh** But "the sh**" meaning great, dude Stupendous, tremendous, excellent, tight Super smooth, ultimate Better than alright Superior, supreme, perfect, and treasured These adjectives carefully measured To ensure that you understood That in other words: I'm good (Chorus)
