and I got a tenderoni\n Love the way she is not too fat, not too bony\n Don't drink Sanka, won't sink like a tanker\n Knock the boots of a skirt in Casablanca and I thank her\n\n Some rappers stink, like Englebert Humperdink\n Better yet Dick Caveat, I got a bad habit\n Similar to the girl, from she's gotta have it\n I think with the brain and I wish behind the zipper\n\n I'm living kinda good similar to Jack Tripper\n A landlord named Roper did a show at the Copa\n When I finish with this, I'll be paid like Oprah\n So, honey wants to act fly\n\n I'll just play like Guy and I'm\n Sayin' bye bye, bumb bitch\n Stick out your thumb and hitch\n 'Cause you've been cut off like a light switch\n\n See I'm programmed to slam with the summer, spring, and fall\n Before I do a show I get some kicks out the mall\n Then I get my gear and I give Trev a call\n 'Cause he works in the barbershop, right behind the mall\n\n Other rappers tried to rob me but you know they got did\n To put it blunt, honey I shrunk the kids\n So hookers back off break North here comes the regulator\n 'Cause you doesn't find none greater\n\n One for all\n Is all for one\n One for all\n Is all for one\n\n On file is a style that's why you caught a clip\n My suitcases is packed and I'm going on a trip to Mic-a-delphia\n I go for self and still be slamming\n The school bell is ringing and I caught somebody cramming\n\n For the test, oh yes, my study guide was thick\n I cut you with my verbal didn't hurt you just a nick\n Off your face don't play possum watch me and I'll blossom like a rose\n And get some new clothes and a fresh fade from Rob\n\n Jump on the phone and dial the Now Rule Mob\n Now come one, come all, we about to get hectic\n If my crew don't get in, then the X makes an exit\n To the
