Yeah, going out to Showbiz, Whiz One, Lord Finesse

Jazzy Jay, my man Q-Tip, KX, yo check it out



Check one, two, no one to run to

I Catch-22, when I began to

Express myself on the lyrical tip

Ayo I'm dip and I'm as smooth as Mircale Whip

But some try to flip, and claim I'm not legit

Say I need to quit (Ayo he's on some other shit)

Yeah, but I grab your attention

And bask in wealth, ayo I'm something else

The sound is raw, don't need a million samples

The kids just love it, next year my budget

Will be much fatter, because of my platter

See I'm the flavor in the hip-hop batter

Schooled in the trade so I'm gonna stay paid

Made in the shade from the tracks that I laid (Wooord up)

Like the golden goose, and it's good for the gander

On the DL, don't need propaganda

So put that in your pipe and smoke it

I took a blues break and I broke it

See I'm swift with the words and the verbs and the pronouns

Yeah, it's Diamond D with the dope sound

That you hear when it's pumping in the Benzi

From ??? all the way down to McKinley

I pay the bills from the use of my lingo

Don't try to play me or you'd better play bingo

Or Monopoly, by Milton Bradley

I had to school another brother, but had he

Only took a second, and checked the track record

He would have seen that I'm solid

So gather round there's a new hombre in town

Influenced by James Brown

It's Diamond D with the sound that pumps

And like Bambaataa, I won't fake the funk

Peace to Master Rob and the Ultimate Force

The 90's are here and we're on the right course

With the flavor that you savor and you know that it's true

Check one, two
