[Intro]

Yeah Paul McKenna on the board

My man Erick Labson on the masterin'

And Young MC on the flows: 52 bars and some hooks

Break it down to ya like this

Cause in the studio I got (flows)

And on the radio I got (flows)

And in the video I got (flows)

In the city, yo, I got

Even kitties know I got


[Verse 1]

The first verse is the genesis, with no menaces

Great for fans and bad news for my nemesis

I'll get you into this, make you all see

When Young gets on the mic it's like a fait accompli

I got flows like the Nile river. I'll make a child shiver

I'll make your hands shakе and I'll make your smile quiver

But keep in mind, if a rappеr wanna test

I ain't paying for no mics and I ain't cleanin up no mess

Cause my rhymes are continuous and they're contiguous

Clear, concise and not one bit ambiguous

Before you dig you must picture the hole

Just like I picture these flows in my soul

Cause this is for the hip-hop backers, computer hackers

Peace to the international beat jackers

Like the Green Bay Packers play ball when it snows

That's the way that Young MC got flows. Check it!


[Chorus]

Cause in the studio I got (flows)

And on the radio I got (flows)

And in the video I got (flows)

In the city, yo, I got

Even kitties know I got

Men and ladies know I got (flows)

Even their babies know I got (flows)

Cats in Mercedes know I got (flows)

Warren Beatty know I got

When I'm 80 yo I got


[Verse 2]

My flows have made me very big. It's like a scary gig

I keep it clean. I don't come off like a hairy pig

My flows are sober so I'm sorry I can't share a swig

My flows are air-tight, not broke-down or jerry-rigged

Not stationary. Dig the way the people bob their head

And some are flippin' cause they're trippin' off the rhyme I said

I take my time instead of getting too hype

Because the frantic semantics are simply not my type

It's a fight on the mic. When I'm rhymin' I tussle

Like broncs at a rodeo, the rhymes that I rustle

Get people all dancin' a phenomenal hustle

And Judd Dunning helps me work on my abdominal muscles

See nominal trust'll have you listening twice

Like kids do with their parents when they're given advice

Nice college athletes that graduate to the pros

That's the way that Young MC got flows. Check it!


[Chorus]


[Verse 3]

These rappers now-a-day-n, I'm thinkin' that they're just playin'

They're rockin' the mic hella-quick but I can't understand a word they're sayin'

So I'm-a lead the way in and let them know the time

Like you crawl before you walk, you'd best to speak before you rhyme

See I had to drop a dime. Booty rappin' is a crime

Practice once, twice, three time, four time, all the way to nine

When the flow is goin' fine hit the studio. Drop your line

So when people by your record they don't think it's a waste of time

See time is money so I keep it on schedule

Write it all down, keep the handwriting legible

Money legit, corporate individual

Clock my cheese from royalties and residuals

See here's my thesis, intellect increases

Stay old time and make whole rhymes from pieces

Turn 'em into songs for my record releases

And move people with my mind just like telekinesis

Now lyrics, when I write 'em, suckers try to bite 'em

It happens to me every day ad infinitum

And fans, I excite 'em when I'm doin' my shows

That's the way that Young MC got flows. Check it!


[Chorus x2]
