Lord Finesse Hip 2 Da game Lyrics

(You know what?)
(You know what?)
(You know what?)

[ CHORUS ]
I'm hip to the game (right)
I'll always be the same (true)
Cause whether I'm broke or got fame
Sunshine or rain
Ain't a d___ thing changed

[ VERSE 1 ]
Finesse fell off, that's what some figure
You better see Mary Blige and get the 411, n____
I rock rappers frequently
I'm like Stevie Wonder, I can't see a brother beatin me
Wanna throw joints? You get spanked, fella
Wanna talk dough? I'm seein more cash than a bank teller
Wanna talk girls, you can't follow this
I been through more skins than the average dermatologist
I'm no joke on a fast or slow tip
Pockets stay so thick, be on some down-low s___
I turn MC's red fast
I never sell out, f___ that, yo, I'm dead a__
I'm on it like TNT
When it comes to this, ain't another brother seein me
That's why opponents always get scared
Cause I make brothers go, "Hey yo, that's that s___ there!"

[ CHORUS ]

[ VERSE 2 ]
Brothers better lounge when I pass through town
(You better recognize) Don't know? Better ask around
Word life, I'm not a new figure
They say good things come to those who wait - I'm overdue, n____
I lounge and rock tunes
The way I be savin the day, give me a cape and a costume
But no, it's not Batman, it's the original blackman
That goes back like the Gap Band
I don't run scams, got dumb fans
Yo, I'm one man that's quick to toast a n____ like a sun tan
People wondered would I rock again?
s___, rap without Finesse is like life without oxygen
It's no quiz, I get biz, you know what the deal is
Rap ain't s___ if it ain't real, kid
Can't a rapper outplay me
(Do your thing, kid) Word life, no doubt, baby

[ CHORUS ]

[ VERSE 3 ]
I don't stutter, I'm so b___er, like no other
Word, I'm that funky type of soul brother
I get stupid, but I'm dumb wise, I'm one guy
That can rock a party from night until sunrise
You can't mess with the rap lord
That's like sayin you can dunk when you can't touch the backboard
Ha, I got the smooth rep
I got styles that kung-fu m____fuckas didn't use yet
How long I been rockin raps?
Since n____s was wearin Lee's, mark-necks and sportin stocking caps
Plus I be flippin figures
In '95 and beyond, best believe I got some s___ for n____s

(You know what?)
(You know what?)
(You know what?)
(Yeah!)
