Lord Finesse - Hip 2 Da Game lyrics

(you know what?) (you know what?) (you know what?) [ chorus ] I'm hip to the game (right) I'll always be the same (true) Cause whether i'm broke or got fame Sunshine or rain Ain't a damn thing changed [ verse 1 ] Finesse fell off, that's what some figure You better see mary blige and get the 411, n***a I rock rappers frequently I'm like stevie wonder, i can't see a brother beatin me Wanna throw joints? you get spanked, fella Wanna talk dough? i'm seein more cash than a bank teller Wanna talk girls, you can't follow this I been through more skins than the average dermatologist I'm no joke on a fast or slow tip Pockets stay so thick, be on some down-low sh** I turn mc's red fast I never sell out, f** that, yo, i'm dead a** I'm on it like tnt When it comes to this, ain't another brother seein me That's why opponents always get scared Cause i make brothers go, "hey yo, that's that sh** there!" [ chorus ] [ verse 2 ] Brothers better lounge when i pa** through town (you better recognize) don't know? better ask around Word life, i'm not a new figure They say good things come to those who wait - i'm overdue, n***a I lounge and rock tunes The way i be savin the day, give me a cape and a costume But no, it's not batman, it's the original blackman That goes back like the gap band I don't run scams, got dumb fans Yo, i'm one man that's quick to toast a n***a like a sun tan People wondered would i rock again? sh**, rap without finesse is like life without oxygen It's no quiz, i get biz, you know what the deal is Rap ain't sh** if it ain't real, kid Can't a rapper outplay me (do your thing, kid) word life, no doubt, baby [ chorus ] [ verse 3 ] I don't stutter, i'm so bu*ter, like no other Word, i'm that funky type of soul brother I get stupid, but i'm dumb wise, i'm one guy That can rock a party from night until sunrise You can't mess with the rap lord That's like sayin you can dunk when you can't touch the backboard Ha, i got the smooth rep I got styles that kung-fu muthaf**as didn't use yet How long i been rockin raps? Since n***as was wearin lee's, mark-necks and sportin stocking caps Plus i be flippin figures In '95 and beyond, best believe i got some sh** for n***as (you know what?) (you know what?) (you know what?) (yeah!)
