The Don Lyrics

[Intro]
The only thing in this world that gives orders is balls
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent? (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
I'm The Don, armed and dangerous
With a mic, I'm like ordained, I just
Make a wish, it becomes a command
The rhyme family is my fans
My territory spans from New York to Hollywood
The whole country's my neighborhood
I extort fans support
With rhymes that taught lessons and caught the
Ears of listeners as they enlisting a
Hip hop mob on the job, stop dissin' us
No drugs at all, we don't steal or rob
We just get paid in the Moe Dee mob
I demand fans family loyalty
Tour support and record royalties
Whenever a band tries to take my fans
I put out a hit, understand?

[Refrain]
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Yeah) (Gangster boogie)

[Verse 2]
I'm The Don
Started out in parks
As a hit man killin' with the rhymes that sparks
A mic sparks a light, turns the dark to light
Freezes emcees as they drop the mic
Hit the deck, you know what this is
Nobody move and I mean biz
One dumb hero tried to step
So I pulled out a mic and rhymed him to death
Other emcees wouldn't put me on
So I took over, now they're gone
I made the connections, got paid protection
Fees from emcees and no late collections
Take no shorts, up front, on the double
You ain't got it, you got trouble
I'll pull out a mic and a rhyme to bust
Huh, another one bites the dust

[Refrain]
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Yeah) (Gangster boogie)

[Verse 3]
With the ladies, I'm not just a Don
In fact I'm more like a Don Juan
Pull ladies in bunches
Break my heart, I roll with the punches
Write 'em off like a tax, no respect
You ain't down, next
'Cause I'm like a hardcore Casanova
Cross me once, girlfriend you're over
Outta here quick as a jet, no sweat
There's no limit to the girls I get
No time for games, make no mistakes
Diss me, you're done, that's the breaks
One conversation and my point's acro– ha-ha
You don't like me? It's your loss
Spread the news, I get rave reviews
I'll make you an offer you can't refuse

[Refrain]
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Yeah) (Gangster boogie)

[Verse 4]
The Don takes control of the action
Without question, and who's askin'?
A takeover is now in effect
A world tour to make my connect
The R&B radio family supports me
Put a hit on, Top 40
The video families, B.E.T
Put a hit on MTV
The store reports and the Billboard charts
Work hand in hand with the local jocks
As hitmen for hire; personal hitmen
Makin' the hits from the very first shipment
Red and Chuck and the fans that love me
Mr. Magic and my man, Buggsy
The hottest D.J.'s in every town is down with The Don

[Refrain]
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Yeah) (Gangster boogie)

[Verse 5]
A sucker emcee, in a second I'll diss
With the flick of the wrist, he'll kiss my fist
Tip his hat and bend and bow
How ya like me now?
The “O.K. Corral” and the “Wild Wild West”
Is recreated when put to the test
Sparks will fly like the 4th of July
My name in flames will light the sky
Other rappers go down tryin' to confront me
You know where to find me whenever you want me
But think real hard before you step
And remember, I'm a vet
Runnin' the yard ever since grade school
Never played cool, but always stayed cool
Before you think about steppin', I already saw ya
Step off boy, I got somethin' for ya

[Outro]
Wanna play with us? Wanna play with us? Say hello to my little friend!
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent? (Yeah)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent?
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
Is he innocent? (Gangster boogie)
You fuck with me, you fuckin’ with the best!
Is he innocent? (Yeah)
You got an all-out prize fight
You wait till the fight’s over, one guy's left standing
And that's how you know who won
