Freestyling

Check out my man they call Tony Tone

[Part IX: Freestyling]

We got two DJs, one more is three
And with the cut-ologist DJ Leslie G
And we're the tough-talking brothers that's down by law (Ho, ho)
We go by the name of the Cold Crush Four
And we won't stop make-making your
Make-make-making your body rock

Now right about now we gonna get into something that not a lot of people know about. Now there could be 11 people in the crew, and the crew could be bad, but individually, one by one, you got to see it, you got to see it. Now my man Almighty Kay Gee done agree, who you gonna agree to go, who for?
Say what my brother?
Who you done agreed to go for?
Ah yo man, I'm going for the heck of it, [?]
You're going for the heck of it? (Yeah.) Who you want? Who you want? See, there's four of us and five of them (Word), so I'll take the two best, whoever's the two best (Fuck it), they mine
Fuck it, I'll take...
My man the L say he'll take Dot-A Rock
My man Easy, he'll take Kevie Kev
And you'll take Ruby Dee, huh? (Ah shit)
So I got Whip and Rob, right? (Yeah, [?] he got two)
Alright Whip and Rob, wherever y'all at

Bust this y'all, a-bust this y'all
A-bust this, bust this, a-bust this y'all
Some people seem to think that to be an MC
You need a closet full of clothes and a lot of jewelry
A pocket full of dollars, Walkers' every flavor
A stuck-up attitude and a kind of behavior
Sorry to say, that's how it was before
But people ain't goin' for that no more
You got to give a performance 'cause by now you should know
That you're givin' a party, not a fashion show
So J.D.L., ha, J.D.L., ha ha
J.D.L., ha, J.D.L., ha ha
J.D.L., my man, you know my voice is weak
So won't you get on the mic and let me hear you speak

(Well) Dot-A Rock sound like he's in a rut
I better help him with my record hut
So A.D., ha, my throat is sore
Homebody, get on the mic with your rhymes galore

Say five plus four minus seven equals two
I don't smoke no cheeba or carry bamboo
Or drink no wine or sniff no cocaine (Why!)
'Cause all it do, it messes up your brain
I just deal with life and society (What's your name?)
My name is Adrian Harris, they call me Easy
The E is for easy which I am at times
And the A is for authority I have in my rhymes
And the S is for sexy, the type of girls I like
The Y for the years I've been doing it right
And A.D. y'all, so what'll it be
When I enter my house I use a key (True)
And Kay Gee, ha, and Kay Gee, ha ha
And Kay Gee, ha, and Kay Gee, ha ha
And Kay Gee, ha hoo, my throat is sore
Well-a, get on the mic, get-get on the mic, and say-a
Get on the mic with your rhymes galore

Well I'mma tell you a story all about me
How I began to be the Almighty
Well I started on Webster Avenue
And all-a-suddenly my clientele grew
And everybody said that I was a must
Then I got down with the brothers they call the Cold Crush
And ever since then I've been doin' good
Been rock and shock rollin', shock and rock rollin'
Rock and shock rollin' in your neighborhood
So G.M.C., my voice is sore
Get on your mic, yo, stay on your mic
Yo, rock on your mic with your rhymes galore

I'm Grandmaster Caz, initials G.M.C
I'm what a real DJ rapper is supposed to be
And I wouldn't say half the things that I do
If I thought that they weren't worth listening to
Now anyone can grab a mic and say "Yes y'all"
But them a real rapper you do not call
Because you can't buy a mic at a quarter to two
And be a real MC before the day is through
Now for all you MCs who thought it was like that (Ah yeah)
Stop fessin', take a lesson from the good old Caz
You need a voice that is clear, a DJ like Chase
You need a good imagination and a strong steady pace
Gotta have your feet both on the ground
And plus you can't be a duck, you gotta be down
You got to be looking good at all times
And you gotta have tough and original rhymes
Put all that together and you know what it brings?
The Grandmaster, and I'm a-running things
So J.D.L., ha, J.D.L., ha ha
J.D.L., ha, J.D.L., ha ha
J.D.L., ha hoo, you know my voice is weak
So just get on the mic and let 'em hear you speak

Yes, yes, y'all, as I proceed
I'm gonna pull this rhyme right out my sleeve
Rhymethologist on the top of the list
Take any girl in here just for a kiss
Because I'm [?] from the old school
Rockin' to the beat, always acting cool
Well I'm too hot to burn, too cold to freeze
'Cause you never see me talkin', never see me hawkin'
Never see me talkin' to [?]
So A.D., my man, just
Get on the mic with your master plan

Well I'm Easy A. goin' all the way
Keepin' up the funky pace 'til break of day
Then you get up, and then you get on down
Then you rock to the beat [?]
And then you get down, and then you get on up
Because the C.C. Four got the tough stuff
The Cold Crush crew, the Cold Crush crew (Say what?)
Is guaranteed to get the party people in the groove
The Cold Crush crew got nothing to do
But smoke that cheeba and get bamboo
Rock to the beat to the highest degree
(What's your name?) 'Cause I go by the code, I stay by the code
I go by the code of Easy A.D.​
And A.D. y'all, and A-hey-aha
A.D. y'all, and A.D. y'all
So Kay Gee, ha, and Kay Gee, ha ha
And Kay Gee, ha, and Kay Gee, ha ha
And Kay Gee, ha hoo, my throat is sore
Just get on the mic with your rhymes galore

Well I'm the K-A-Y, the K, the K
And don't forget the A
The K-A-Y-G-double-E
The letters in my name is a warranty
But I'm a darkskin, I'mma do it again
And I'm going on down to the A.M.​
And rock to the beat as you can see
I got your girl, I got your girl
I got your girl, I got your girl
I got your girl calling me, your girl calling me
The All, the All, the one who shot the ball
The creep or the crawl, get you off the wall
The Almighty with the capability (Ah yeah)
Rock to the beat, shock to the beat (Yeah, yeah)
Rap to the beat 'cause I'm so unique
G.M.C., my mellow
Get on the mic, get on the mic, get on, get
Get on the mic with the clien—
And then the, and then the clientele
