| Lyrics | Fresh dressed 'cause I shop at Modell's Deep in Brooklyn, I rode the L's Used to ride the D to beat the morning bell At Edward R. Morrow out on Ave. L Now we be grillin' cheese and flippin' flapjacks With the diamond stylus, yo, we cutting wax We're the super-elastic, bubble-plastic Got ethereal material that's straight up classic You try to vex, reject, but you should respect Or we'll have JC send you out a FedEx So don't start to flex up in the discotheque Or we'll make you extinct, tyrannosaurus rex We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way Three the hard way Three the hard way Your rhyme technique, it is antique To all my heads, Qu'est-ce-que tu fabriques? Che cazzo fai? Come stai? Ho fatto molte telefonate I said, oops, gotcha, clutch like Piazza Sneak between the sheets so hide the matzoh Holler back, challah bread... next We are the crew who put the crew in Cruex I can see that Def Jam doesn't recognize me I'm Mike D, the one who put the satin in your panties Time to count MC's in this place to be Not five, not four, not two, just three We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way Three the hard way Three the hard way You might also likeRound-house kick the mic out your hand Drunken mantis, my name brand If you're slick with the tricks and the sleight of hand I'm hip to the shit that you're trying to scam Gnip-Gnop, I got shit to pop I'm an exceptional professional that just don't stop So pack up your bag and your mic and don't wait E.T., phone home, now get the fuck out my face You know we shake 'em, bake 'em, then we take 'em Treat MC's like leaves, go out and rake 'em Sell our CDs on Canal before we make 'em Serve you on a platter like Steak-umm We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way Three the hard way Three the hard way |
