 Struggling with M.P.E.? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I'm cold gettin' busy while I'm shakin' you down
        I'm on the air, you're on the ground
        Chuck D, the enemy, words you heed
        Build for speed, but what you need is
        Funky fresh lyrics fallin' down on time
        Your enemy poppin' it, droppin' a dime
        Comin' back rockin' a tomahawk jam
        And still gettin' fly with the mike in my hand
        I'm cold coolin' out, layin in the shade
        Dealers buggin cause they're gonna get sprayed
        Their intimidator, your Scarface
        What's goin' on (huh) what's takin' place
        I don't wear gold but I clock ducats
        And I have the money overflowing out of buckets
        You want crazy dollars, I make people holler
        You stick 'em stupid and I'm snatching biters collars
        I'll rebuilt the mine to alleviate
        Unnecessary pressures that can create
        The sting that stung Yama-Goochie Foo Yung
        When he bit the Public Enemy he only got hung
        Cause his brain was gettin' bigger than a pregnant toad
        His heartbeat stopped cause of overload
        I made the beat that broke his back
        I cut his circulation  made his world turn back
        I find out things like E.S.P.
        Amazing world of Kreskin's brain velocity
        Like Alexander Munday, I'm in like Flint
        Mercedes limousine with a hardcore tint
        I'm captain of the ship, I make 'em walk the planks
        Riding round the world, hundred sixty million francs
        Not like the kind that you put on the grill
        Cause I only do it like that when I'm on a chill hill
        When I get to the beach, the ground's so sandy
        Girls on my jock like ants on candy
        Checking out the fellas with the girls on the side
        Put ya boat in the water, let's take a ride
        to the land of party people rocking shocking to the beat
        So keep ya eyes on ya girl cause ya know I'm gonna cheat
        I'm gonna max and relax and chill my will
        Body rockin', brain shockin' makes your heart stand still
        I'm goin' for the money that man ever made
        Gettin' thrill from orders, suckers obeyed
        It's gettin' late and I can't wait
        To drive by the bus and rock my tape
        My car is movin', fast like a train
        Never skid off the road, even in the rain
        Cold dodgin' tickets, rockin' all the jams
        Make biters step back and understand
