[Verse 1: Everlast]

Get up everybody and listen to this rhyme

My name is Everlast and yo, I'm always on time

I got what it takes to make this groove complete

And when my DJ is cuttin', he's never missin' a beat

I'm down with the Syndicate and they're down with me

I'm also down with Divine, Bilal and Quincy D

Tairrie B., DJ Lethal and my brother Kool Nick

Kid Jazz, Scratch, Bango and Cutmaster Quick

I've worked hard and long to master this trade

And to quote my other song yo, I'm just out to get paid

So sleep on me now for my time will come

Everlast lasts forever, that's why I'm number one

[Chorus]

I got the knack

(You got it)

(You know I feel alright)

[Verse 2: Everlast]

Everlast is in effect

Gettin' big respect

Then I collect big checks

1's, 5's, 10's, 20's

100 g's and I'm pullin' honeys

Left and right, day and night

You gotta see it to believe it, it's quite a sight

They're all on my tip to get a sip

Of this poetical performer that's fully equipped

But I'm out to get paid, not to get laid

All across the country my records gettin' played

On radio stations, clubs and on tours

And after every show I make three encores

Sleep on me now for my time will come

Everlast last forever, that's why I'm number one

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Everlast]

Step up, place your bet and I'll serve you fortune

But first I must issue just one word of caution

Dope lyric presentations are my sole notoriety

Everlast is on the rise movin through society

My voice is moist recitin choice vocals

Respected worldwide and feared by locals

Poppin junk out your punk mouth makin bets

It's too late for regrets, it's time to pay your debts

E-V-E-R-L-A-S-T is the name that I bear

A poetic demi-god with skin that's fair

So sleep on me now for my time will come

Everlast lasts forever, that's why I'm number one

[Chorus]

[Verse 4: Everlast]

Now there's too many people in this world tryin to play me

Like I'm some kind of sucker constantly they disobey me

Tellin' me what's sellin', what kinda records get charted

Sound like him, sound like her - but they all sound retarded

Takin very little time to write down a rhyme

It's confusing to see so many people so blind

Some think that it's a sell-out rhymin' to this beat

But Everlast can take any groove and make it sound complete

I got the knack
