Well listen everybody, my name is Craig G

More rhymes than your mind to the deep blue sea

My goal is to reside at the top of the heap

Although I might be young, MCs don't sleep

For me to stay at one place are you out of your mind?

For me to step up you're gonna have to decline

With the power of destruction that my rhymes emit

Once my rhymes get started you might as well quit

If you're aiming for me, MC's you'll miss

When I say a rhyme you can't resist

In the world of rap music I gave much clout

With the devastating rhymes that make you shout

Shout!

Shout!

Shout!

All the rhymes that I say are my own preposition

If you battle me you'll be using demolition

Using demolition that's what I say

You'll be making conjunctions right out of your hay

On the microphone I will dis your fate

'Cause the rhymes that I say are my choice of taste

When I rock the mic I use my own proportion

On the microphone I'm an act of caution

When you run into me there won't be much distortion

And when you go against me it will be your own misfortune

When I rock the mic I turn things out

'Cause when I say a rhyme you wanna shout

Shout!

Shout!

Shout!

I rock on the mic with all the clout

Now I'm gonna tell ya bout the things I can do without

I could do without the girls who walk by

When I make a gesture or say hi

I could do without those girls who sleazy

And the girls I get too easy

I could do without those weak MCs

Bitin' rhyme after rhyme such as these

I could do without rappers who think they're good

Sayin' that they're better every way they could

Talkin' bout how they're greater without

But I'm gonna make you MCs shout

Shout!

Shout!

Shout!

I rock the mic better than doin'

When I say a rhyme MCs get ruined

When I say a rhyme I put ya on the spot

So listen to me as I do the beatbox

(beatboxing)

Shout!

Shout!

Shout!

(scratching and cutting)
