[Verse 1: Chi-Ali]

I be the Chi, oh, who I be?

No matter 'cause I serve say tre on a dime platter

Batter up, batter boy, joy to the world

Get goosed by the Footloose crew and the youth

Back your brother, Bam Bam, here comes the stew with more

What you hear will come clear

Fix up the mommy-doo jams that I adore

Makin' it clear to all ears

You wanna grab a yolk? Don't choke on the young one

Come here I come, here I kiddy-come-come

Me not finagle yo' ways in the days that come

Lay low, until you get some

I'm around you on the neck for respect

You didn't want to cash in, so I'm mashin'

Level of the low mumbo jumbo, they be splashin'

And I be askin', "Wanna swing a chop-shop rhyme by the pack?"

That's a no-no, coyote, look how ya act

As I step on, you'll be steppin' all in it

'Cause I'm the roadrunner runnin' things


[Chorus: Trugoy The Dove]

Cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin' things

Coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, coyote, coyote

Cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin' things

Coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, coyote, coyote


[Verse 2: Chi-Ali]

So form after Jabberjaw and for sure

I rhymes many rhymes, I rhyme for sure

Pash is to bash and big the figure here

Ashes to ass, I trigger niggas here

Coyotes learn I burn every time

It's my turn, seems like a perfect

But is it worth it? Better be, better G

Than the next wrecks, or else I gets vexed

Now how did this kinda dap young kid turn rap?

All hips wanna flip when they check the stat

But shorty ain't the 40 to be guzzlin' with

I'm out to get paid, so I sip lemonade

The ruffian youth with the pocket full of poof

So don't check the label, you're liable to goof

I work wonders, put a drumbeat to thunder

Rhyme like the rain, lay low and maintain

Break the batter boy with my rat-a-tatta toy

Don't block the roadrunner, son, enjoy

A talk from a New York brother in a swing

It's the roadrunner runnin things


[Chorus: Trugoy The Dove]

Cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin' things

Coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, coyote, coyote

Cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin' things

Coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, coyote, coyote


[Verse 3: Chi-Ali]

My problem, coyote? I wrote this hit

This for the doggy, doggy, step right out

Don't flow the ritual, puppy, just sit

Soon comes a mini-rhyme, in styles out

I funk the whole pile, the wicked and wild

Must I profile? Well, not by the mile

I've got you naggin', braggin', that the Chi was raggin'

But I grin and just smile

So listen real close, the brother might boast

Although I appear as the guest and the host

No need for all the lingerin' and loiterin'

When the roadrunner's runnin' things


[Chorus: Trugoy The Dove]

Cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin' things

Coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, coyote, coyote

Cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin' things

Coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, coyote, coyote

Cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin' things

Coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, coyote, coyote


[Outro: Trugoy The Dove]

Cool it, cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin' things

Coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—

Cool it, cool it, coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin' things

Coyote, I'm the roadrunner runnin'—
