Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Huh-huh-huh-huh
Shazam!
[Verse 2]
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"
[Verse 3]
I'd like a lettuce, tomatoes and muenster on rye
All this cheese is gonna make me cry
Gorgonzola, provolone
Don't even get me started on this microphone
[Verse 4]
I'm blowin' up like my name is Joe Bazooka
I'm a super-dooper 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' Weezy!"
[Verse 5]
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Huh-huh-huh-huh
Shazam!
[Verse 6]
On the court I go by the name Praying Mantis
Got the edge and I've got the advantage
If you could see things from my vantage point
Then you could better understand this
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Huh-huh-huh-huh
Shazam!
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
I'm a hip-hop scholar while you're left back
So Jeckyll and Rush go back to Lefrak
I'm a simple man like Chance the Gardner
"I'm working 9-to-5" Dolly Parton-er
[Verse 12]
I got rhymes for jerks that's bringing on drama
Which rhyme you want first? The one about your mama?
Goodness gracious golly gee
Shazam!
"Freeeeeeeeeak out with the genie!!!"
[Verse 13]
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Huh-huh-huh-huh
Shazam!
