Lyrics | Everybody get down huh Everybody get down huh Everybody get down huh Huh huh huh huh, Shazam! I sneak a chicken tikka Masala at a gala event I represent that's stupid, that's for sure You be like, "Oh yeah Adam, real mature" I'd like a lettuce, tomatoes and Munster on rye All this cheese gonna make me cry Gorgonzola, provolone Don't even get me started on this microphone I'm blowin' up like my name is Joe Bazooka I'm a super-duper MC party pooper On a track so sick it'll make you feel all queasy Make you do like Fred Sanford with "I'm comin' Wheezy!" Everybody get down huh Everybody get down huh Everybody get down huh Huh huh huh huh, Shazam! On the court I go by the name Praying Mantis Got the edge and I got the advantage If you could see things from my vantage Point, then you could better understand this I'm in the lab all day I Scrabble all night I got a bedazzler so my outfit's tight When it comes to panache I can't be beat I got the most style from below 14th street Internationally known as the Keebler Elf I can't keep a catalog up on the shelf You know, I splash on beats like sauce on spaghetti Putting MC's out of business like they're Crazy Eddie Everybody get down huh Everybody get down huh Everybody get down huh Huh huh huh huh, Shazam! I know you're sitting pretty in the Hampty Hamps Posing like you're rolling with that camp In layman's terms let me break it down You're flipping and flopping just like a flounder I'm a hip hop scholar while you're left back So Jeckle and Rush, go back to Lefrak I'm a simple man like Chauncey the Gardner Working 9 to 5 Dolly Pardner Got rhymes for jerks that's bringing on drama Which rhyme you want first? The one about your mama? Goodness gracious golly gee Shazam! Freeeeeeak out with the genie!
