Lyrics

I can do it Yeah mayne! Now I can do it Aww this that rollin beat man I can roll with this I can roll with this just like ridin over that Bay Bridge Golden Gate y'nderstandwhatImean? Oh look at that skeezer over there man I ain't with it Now now now the drum gets deeper and the beats get stronger So take a deep breath before you're forced under The line that divides what's yours from mine In effect is what I am cause I served my time Concrete solid beats topped off with rhymes A fly posse put together by the Hammer's mind Now the song is in effect and my soul is fed And these are my words, that's what I said That's what he said (Yo hype my posse man) Go posse, go posse go; go posse, go posse go Go posse, go posse go; go posse, go posse go M, MC's line up and they start to boast Who's the best, who's the best, and they all get roasted By the Hammer on the mic, by the Hammer on the floor That leads to the chair where the king of rap sits While MC's battle, in the rap pits They go RHYME, for RHYME, and HOOK, for turn rappers and rappers turn CROOKS Now the song is in effect and my soul is fed And these are my words, that's what I said Dance! Use the Hammer as a weapon so don't you worry about a thing I don't worry about a thing, I'm goin straight up You understand me? There they go There go that big ol' greasy Now now now, I go to the show, I pay my money I realized, something's funny Music's cold kickin and the crowd is hyped But the MC on the stage, is stiff as a pipe His hips do move but his feet don't budge He moves across the stage like he's stuck on a rug He needs the beat and the Hammer and the posse gettin busy The show that we give, will make a sucker dizzy Now the song is in effect and my soul is fed And these are my words, that's what I said - To fade
