[Chorus: DJ Premier sample]

"You know how that go, stop doing that

Ya'll are violatin', straight up and down"

"You know how that go, stop doing that

Ya'll are violatin', straight up and down"

"You know how that go, stop doing that

Ya'll are violatin', straight up and down"


[Intro: Count Bass D]

Uh, Count Bass, uh, yeah

Check it, Spongebath, '9-9-9, Egon


[Verse 1: Count Bass D]

We just did like Jimmy Castor

Here's the brother who causes mad disasters

I make you see things where they supposed to go

For instance, I think it should be "Fat Pun" and "Big Joe"

Where were you when G Rap rocked "Stilleto"?

If you're over 19, you should know

But I bet you never ever heard of MC Marshon

'Cause you're too busy banging all that garbage in your car

What? I declare I'm the best with vigor

But you still figure that you can test the drums, bass, and keys [nigga]

You think you Guru, 'cause your rep is growing bigger

But you can say I'm sort of the Boss, 'cause I'm a skinny black beat machine

Doctor Rhythm, giving quadruple bypasses

To my sampler in a 4/4 meter

And while ya'll rhyming about your homes in the Hamptons

We down here, keeping it live like Peter Frampton

Yeah, at Matt's mansion like Knots Landing

I've been on four labels, but yet I'm still standing

And there was never a doubt that when I landed

In 1991, I would turn the whole region out


[Chorus: DJ Premier sample]

"You know how that go, stop doing that

Ya'll are violatin', straight up and down"

"You know how that go, stop doing that

Ya'll are violatin', straight up and down"

"You know how that go, stop doing that

Ya'll are violatin', straight up and down"


[Verse 2: Count Bass D]

I got the rhythm like Jarobi (You got the rhythm)

All y'all know me

It's the brother taking notes from Paul C's legacy, here in Tennessee

I'm 25 years old, I'ma let the truth be told

And who am I? A Beenie Man

And you? A Beanie Baby

Why? 'Cause you got a child and a lady, but you can't feed 'em

But when they act up, you the first one to beat 'em

What? I hate no one but I love only a few

Bobby McFerrin, Mervyn Warren, and Mr. Say Who

Scientifik, to be specific

'Cause him and Vic taught me how to make beats in 360 minutes

Y'all finished, we take ya spinach

'Cause I'm an A-sharp-seventh and you'se an F-flat-diminished

I own a Grand Am, and you lease a Lex

But if you so damn rich, then why you staying at your mom's rest?


[Chorus: DJ Premier sample]

"You know how that go, stop doing that

Ya'll are violatin', straight up and down"

"You know how that go, stop doing that

Ya'll are violatin', straight up and down"

"You know how that go, stop doing that

Ya'll are violatin', straight up and down"

"You know how that go, stop doing that

Ya'll are violatin', straight up and down"

"You know how that go, stop doing that

Ya'll are violatin', straight up and down"

"You know how that go, stop doing that

Ya'll are violatin', straight up and down"
