To the highest degree in quality!
In our rap technology ladies and gentlemen I am the rapper Ecstasy!
And standing to my side, this is my partner
The Master Rapper Jalil,
My eyes are on the 1 and 2 Grandmaster Dee
Dude doin the do and it goes a little something like this:
Its true my friends who said the saw, my poster hanging up on the wall!
The pictures clear there's no mistake, my video plays in every state!
Well I didn't do a thing, I ain't got no kids and they labeled me a fugitive!
I ain't got no time to spend locked up cause I'm ridin high on Lady Luck!
Things could be better, I know they could but you gotta take the bad along with the good!
I'm one of many on the lost and I want you to acknowledge this! Well, things got heavy and that's a fact so I've pulled a disappearing act so, until things settle down I'm gonna do my thing up around!
(Jalil)
Custer, Cesco, Alakazam, never mind where I was, this is where I am!
And right here and now before your very eyes I will darefully do what others scared to try!
Let me break it down for ya to stop all confusion, the microphone's the only thing I'll be using!
Now the names Whodini but I'm no magician, see I came to this party cause I'm on a mission!
I've been meaning to talk to you face to face cause if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be in the place!
When it comes to making money I don't waste time,
My brother I said please I'll be in front of the line!
Cause I was taught the early bird always catches the worm and a lesson well taught is a lesson well learned!
That's why I'm on the move and everything's alright and the clothes I need to wear were prepared last night! Cause if another be ahead of me you know what? you instead of me when opportunity knocks, I've gotta be ready see?
He who hesitates is lost and the price that you pay is called the cost,
When they said money maker, they must have meant me,
To make money and time you need a M and a E
Cause time is money and money is time
You might waste yours but I'm rocking mine so Rock on!!
(Ecstasy)
Look Here!
When your money takes over like Grover, you ain't worth your weight in gold,
All you need to get cha through is a good OK' fashion roll!
Just like Batman's on his way in the nick of time to save the day,
These people are wishing on a star and guys like us driving in big cars!
So we pledge allegiance to the rhyme
(Jalil) to rhyme to every beat on time
(E) And to our public to which we'd love
(J) to show everybody what there really was!
(E) So united we stand, divided we fall,
(J) we're not the first but were still here y'all
(E) we're your best bet as cause you can't get
(J) a better show for your TV set!
(E) Cause were the ones who rock at your request, were the ones to call if you want the best!
The ones that'll zap you with the super blast with jams for the present and hits from the past!
Hey, ya never know what were gonna do next, so
Don't waste your time, don't try to guess!
Cause were the one and only Master's of the Ceremonies guaranteed to rock the house,
Definitely not a phony!!
Now, those days are gone and I'm on the move, cause I ain't got nothing to prove!
I've got a summons a date for a year or less,
They even got a warrant out for my arrest!
Cause I'm a fugitive and I'm on the run,
And my line of work? that's number one!
My best friend in the world is not a dog, boy or girl!
My only friend in this world I know is my portable TV/Radio
So when we get up, out and on the go, we always travel in stereo!
Because after I've put a town to use, I look back and see who's got the juice?
And when things finally simmer down, they won't have me to kick around!!
