LYRICS FOR "Sure Shot"
'Cause you can't
Oh
Oh
Mike D
I've got the brand new doo-doo guaranteed like yoo hoo
I'm on like Dr
I'm a newlywed
And everything I do is funky like Lee Dorsey
Well
If you want a doo the rhyme then come see me
I've got the savior faire with the unique rhyme and
I keep it on and on
Strictly hand held is the style I go
Never rock the mic with the panty hose
I strap on my ear goggles and I'm ready to go
'Cause at the boards is the man they call the Mario
Pull up at the function and you know I'm Kojak
To all the party people that are on my bozak
I've got more action than my man John Woo
And I've got mad hits like I was Rod Crew
Beause you can't
Because you can't
You know you can't
Ad rock
Hurricane will cross fade on your ass and bust your ear drums
Listen everybody 'cause I'm shifting gears
Fresh like Dougie when I set my specs and
On the microphone
Timing like a clock when I rock the hip hop
Top notch is my stock on the soap box
I've got more rhymes than I've got grey hairs
So that's a lot because I've got my share
I've got a hole in my head and there's no one to fix it
I've got to straighten my thoughts
Everyone just takes and takes
I've got to step back
I'm like Lee Perry
On rock the microphone and then I'm gone
I'm like Vaughn Bode
Never quitting
Oh yes
Because you can't
Because you can't
Oh
MCA come and rock the sure shot
I want to say a little something that's long overdue
The disrespect to women has got to be through
To all the mothers and sisters and the wives and friends
I want to offer my love and respect to the end
Well
But I'm working harder than ever and you could call it macking
So I'm supposed to sit upon my couch
I'm still listening to wax
Well
All f***** up and I wanna
Take a piece of the pie
Think I'm gonna change up my style just to fit in
I keep my underwear up with a piece of elastic
I use a b******* mic that's made out of plastic
To send my rhymes out to all nations
Like Ma Bell
Beause you can't
Because you can't
Oh
Tonin' and rockin' the sure shot
Because
Because
