Lyrics

So you wanna be a rapper, well, here’s the lowdown
Be prepared not scared for a throwdown
Cash money, accolades, fortune, and fame
Come to an MC if you know the game
The game is rhyming on time and not lying
No biting, no fighting, if you diss no crying
Beats in effect, DJ spins the sound
No fronting nor grunting, this is a throwdown
Mathematically applied, I’m equal to none
By the process of division, one by one
Well I will strap the wack, take all the toys back
Take all the duck MCs and make them go quack
They belong in the pond, them and the frog
Frontin’ hard rock but soft as egg nog
Green like an apple that’s not quite ripe
Wanna be an MC but can’t read nor write
Big title for a sucker, you don’t read you just follow
If I fed you my lyrics, you couldn’t even swallow
So you wanna be a rapper? Well, here’s the lowdown
Be prepared, not scared, this is a throwdown
The rules of the game are simple and plain
Turn on the microphone and recite your name
After that, matter fact, start the party on the left
By time you reach the middle, you better be def
‘Cause you’re not, your last shot in the people on the right
If you don’t impress them, homeboy its good night
If you was me, you’d be smart and rock them straight from the start
Anybody get ill, tell your crew to snatch his heart
So once again, my friends, here’s the lowdown
This is a jam, a alias, a throwdown
Complete with the beat, grace, sweetest and mids
Able to rock men, women and kids
Voice with command, rhymes in demand
Come fresh, not less, or you’re through my man
Or ladies, whichever it may be
I’m Sparky, yes the one with the dash and the Dee
So don’t you dare slow down
This is a party and this is the low down
Microphones are on, MCs is in the house
Not a creature to see, not even a mouse
So even repetition, let the competition
Situate themselves in a ready position
Rules’ve been stated, now its time to get busy
You weak MCs are bound to get dizzy
‘Cause my musical skills scale to high heights
Better rinse, don’t suffer, from stage freight
May not be the winner, but I won’t be the loser
But this is one thing, I’m an MC bruiser
So you wanna be a rapper? You wanna throw down?
Here’s your chance MCs, here’s the low down
