Slick Rick - Teacher, Teacher lyrics

Well I've been a public figure for quite a long time Known to the whole world for what my style of rhyme But tonight let's talk about the ones who bite Although they know they won't never get it right Because they have no cla** and they have no shame They'll bite another brother to boost their own name Get paid correct on a one way gimmick I'm happy for you lowlifes but 'member there's a limit - so say [Hook] Teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it It looks kinda easy like there was nothing to it But they don't understand that the master will be The creator of the style [Ricky D] Teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it It looks so easy like there was nothing to it But they don't understand that the master will be The creator of the style [Ricky D] When I walk into a party cokesnorters laugh As the girls be crazy coming for my mere autograph And it seems that they aspiring my new style of rappin' And brothers all around me out of vanity are snappin' The girls say 'wow Rick you're so unique Please tell us how you organize the words you speak' But my will says chill and I go upon my way Cause cla** will be taught some other day - so say [2nd Hook] Teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it It looks kinda easy like there was nothing to it But they don't understand that the ruler will be The creator of the style [Ricky D] Teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it It looks so easy like there was nothing to it But they don't understand the ruler will be The creator of the style [Ricky D] Well I remember one night when the world was dead quiet And out of nowhere some boy starts a riot He tore my clothes, I had to throw blows A shotgun barrel was dead on my nose I froze - it was Big Foot and the Toes Yup, a bunch of small timers that be at all my shows Surrounded the ruler with machetes too They said um 'if you don't teach us how to rap you're through' I said 'okay, now let me go, please' I seen an officer - then the officer screamed 'freeze!' He said 'Slick Rick you okay?' I had to play it off, some girls were looking my way So I smacked one in the face and told him 'I won't retire' And many years from now I'll just be getting higher For I am the master, set and done My name is Ricky D and I'm the only one - so say [...Ricky D] - [...Ricky D] Now when I was a lad my style was bad So I had to use what little bit of knowledge that I had So I quote and I wrote 'till I was up to par Some rhymes were [boo-hoo] and some rhymes were [hahahaa!] I educate myself so I'm able to reach ya Answering the call of teacher, teacher Tell us how you do it, it's so easy for me The creator of the style, emcee Ricky D Now my only task is to warn all biters Slimy s*uts and fake rhyme writers Don't try your luck and get the ruler annoyed For when I'm through with you boy your whole world will be destroyed So chill mister muscle or I'll come and hunt ya If you are a girl I'll make no man want ya So if you wanna rule and no (?) in the way Pay attention to my syllables and come see me and say hey hey [2nd Hook]
