Warning, MC's stand back
  You better take a chill and observe the skill
  of the man who can, so understand god damn
  I got a masterpiece a master plan and a brand new
  way to attack the wack cut 'em down to size
  to realize LL's back
  Don't sleep I'm too sweet to repeat a beat
  a lyric or rhyme I wouldn't waste your time
  with weak words, that's for nerds, you never heard a rhyme
  So you deserve a line rougher than rough enough is enough
  I'm, gonna slaughter choke ya smoke ya like a sauna
  You don't really wanna
  But if you wanna battle on here's a lesson: stop 'fessin
  I'm a lethal weapon, you better get to steppin
  off the stage, and outta my face
  You're too light ?? save the bass
    Why do you think they call it dope?
  Why do you why do you think they call it dope?
    It seems like people-'ll never understand
  On the microphone I'm not your average man
  I cool out sometimes, I save my best rhymes
  and then the toy boy thinks that he can come and get mine
  Let your friends gas him up, talk trash and make bets
  then gets played like those kids who tried to rob Goetz
  You don't know what I'm sayin? Yo check it
  Give me any microphone and god damnit I'll wreck it!
  I'm coldblooded I'm about to mutilate
  Last year before I left I told you to wait
  But you couldn't stay loyal started goin astray
  Thinkin Tom, Dick, and Harry can mess with Cool J
  Is you crazy? I'm boomin, got the talent of two men
  The stamina and skill in battle to kill a few men
  The heart of a lion, the loyalty of a soldier
  I wreck your whole mob then tell ya I told ya!
    Why do you think they call it dope?
  Why do you why do you think they call it dope?
    Cause I don't jab around you, I come inside
  Bob and weave, deceive until you get tongue tied
  Brawl for all give a lyrical display
  and next time you know better than to get in my way
  "Yo whassup wit LL?
  Will he ever make another 'Rock the Bells'?"
  Yo brothers is comin up, "I think he's fallin off
  I don't think he's still 'hard as hell'"
  See, this is the attitude, of ignorant ones
  cause they don't know, all them MC'sll get done
  One or two might say, "Yo L'll be back"
  but the rest they be suckin on SUGAR SMACKS
  Talkin that crap about who's better than me
  You think so? Just let a MC
  make me mad enough, to really wanna battle
  I put a L on his ass like he was cattle!
    Why do you think they call it dope?
  Why do you why do you think they call it dope?
    Just cause I make a love song, or say a simple rhyme
  "Boom, move over L, it's Miller Time"
  I don't know whether to laugh, get ill or get wild
  Cause brothers don't realize, I got so many styles
  like triplin up the words, confusin all the nerds
  Heard put my sights on mics and ?? flippin above the word
  to the mother, no other
  MC brother, can mess with Ladies Lover
  I'm original, I'm bright under color
  And when I get on the mic, yo I burn rubber
  Can't stand criticism, give 'em an exorcism
  Been rockin for years, now I have wisdom
  The way I'm kickin the lines you can hear my tongue twist
  and it'll have your neck spinnin like you're spineless
  I'm pickin 'em up, throwin 'em down
  Hypin 'em up and slowin 'em down
  All of these words with only one tongue
  Shakin 'em up and then bakin 'em up
  Smash boom bash scrapin 'em up
  Now you thought that was hard, I just begun
  Cause I'm a roll on the microphone
  And take control just like Al Capone
  I'm notorious, you're foolish if you sleep on me
  Cause I'm too slick to let a rapper get sweet on me
  Try to make a move for my heavyweight belt
  You get played like the Wizard of Oz witch, you melt
  Yo I'm crazy dope, with super hype lines
  and a lot of hype lines make one dope rhyme
    Why do you think they call it dope?
  Why do you why do you think they call it dope?
  Why do you think they call it dope?
  Why do you why do you think they call it dope?
    Cause that's what it is
    Why do you think they call it dope?
  Why do you why do you think they call it dope?
  Why do you think they call it dope?
