Letras de I Don’t Play

Yo yo yo
Worldwide, worldwide
Kool Keith from Bronx housing
′99, 2000
As we get biz, yeah
I'ma let you have it
Let′s do this

Yo, my life is clocked up while broke people talk about me
Cut empty pockets, shock faces like electric sockets
Sideburns with afro, nasty pro, flow like Rollo
In Wells Fargo cashin' checks while you tryin' to borrow
My game is cut through, plastic cuttin′ we can see through
Disco music, jazz loops, I ain′t tryin' to be you
1999, 2000 Black new design
My head is on right, back up kid you wasn′t born right
Playin' center I block your wack raps like Bill Cartwright
Pick up your rebounds, plastic soft production sounds

All MC groups will be cartoons like Mother Goose
No joke I bust back, kid for real watch your butt crack
Entourages, move in neighborhoods like Mr. Rogers
Slam rhymes on concrete, mash ′em up in car garages
Cadillac spin, open magazines, Vibe again

You're jealous, they′re lickin' paws like you're Rin Tin Tin
I′m back again I stop your programs like Gentle Ben

Yeah (yeah yeah yeah)
I′ll be the man, watch your backpack
Pen and pencil, school today, grown man, I don't play
I′ll be the man, watch your backpack
Pen and pencil, school today, grown man, I don't play
I′ll be the man, watch your backpack
Pen and pencil, school today, grown man, I don't play
I′ll be the man, watch your backpack
Pen and pencil, school today, grown man, I don't play

Back up the turnpike watch Mad Max turn into you

Get gassed at truck stops, leave diesel fuel burnin' through you

I come to boo you, best believe, I′m a damager
Cancel shows, interviews, I don′t need no manager
Slash fan, half of y'all, think I′m the Elephant Man

Look through my records analyze me like I'm Michael Jackson
Collect my vinyl DJ moves spinnin′ on my waxin'
Groupies in line, camera flashes, I don′t need the action
Sweaty hotels, dumbbells, I'd rather shop in modales
While y'all wear backpacks with corny macs, rollin′ L′s
CDs get melted, ask your favorite rapper how he felt it
I turn on ovens, light up this, when I'm cookin′ muffins
That's on the grill, make your girlfriend buy my Ampex reels
Pay for studio time, droppin′ birds with dope words

I'm on the real herb, pick up mics you got some nerve
Always stay prison bring my projects in the music business

That′s if you with this, yo Greg, there will be no winners
I'm comin' through with Bronx crew a black, good vibe baboon
Techs in my pockets make your feets dance, do the locking

Yeah (yeah yeah yeah)
I′ll be the man, watch your backpack
Pen and pencil, school today, grown man, I don′t play
I'll be the man, watch your backpack
Pen and pencil, school today, grown man, I don′t play
I'll be the man, watch your backpack
Pen and pencil, school today, grown man, I don′t play
I'll be the man, watch your backpack
Pen and pencil, school today, grown man, I don′t play

Yo, what are you doing lookin' in my closet?
Why are you tryin' to try on my sneakers?
Stop lookin′ around in my kitchen
That′s right, it's honeycomb up there, raviolis
Everything a regular man eats
I′m not the Elephant Man
What's up?

You don′t scare me, I'm the man that bought your girl some hair
Walk in giant arenas and stop your show at Madison Square
With security, you can′t call the Secret Service
Got your roadie cases packed up, your bookin' agent nervous

Backstage passes, special units break your Fendi glasses
Cancel your fights, town car, see me in the brown car
Rip up your passport, I follow you through Kennedy Airport
Lock up the gates, time seized up, like Norman Bates
Book Hotel Nikko, change my face up, in Puerto Rico
Julio Cantaro bumpin' beats, in a El Dorado
I′m movin′ swiftly, the game is fast, very quickly
Greyhound bus tickets, I'll vick you for the whole season
That′s the reason I be easin', eatin′ cheese and
That's right kid

Yeah (yeah yeah yeah)
I′ll be the man, watch your backpack
Pen and pencil, school today, grown man, I don't play
I'll be the man, watch your backpack
Pen and pencil, school today, grown man, I don′t play
I′ll be the man, watch your backpack
Pen and pencil, school today, grown man, I don't play
I′ll be the man, watch your backpack
Pen and pencil, school today, grown man, I don't play

I′ll be the man, watch your backpack
Pen and pencil, school today, grown man, I don't play

I′ll be the man, watch your backpack
Yeah, that's right, watch your backpacks
For the '99 to the 2000
