C'mon, clap your hands, wind it up (x6)

Hush, I'm comin thru with the bum rush

Feelins forced style, adidas, cold crush

What? my style's ridiculous

Who's gettin wit that spectaculous, miraculous?

Word to lexus, I'm from new york

I can't believe, I come with the mad degrees, boy

Freakin the funk with extra shit up the sleeve, uh

I hold it down, so gimme that microphone

And lounge homeboy, you in the danger zone

When a brother like e is on the microphone, uh
