[Pos Plug Wonder Why] (What the [bad word] do you wanna be when you grow up?) I wanna be a supa emcee (Well you're already that) so let me step up to bat Attack a hit to go beyond this age of rap counterfeits Out of the heavens August one seven sixty nine Born I wonder why with the thoughts to rhyme Til there was no longer thoughts to dream When an unpolished demo led to limos at the age of eighteen [bad word] by the screams, Plug One Shot up with fame like novacaine it made me numb So numb I wouldn't been able to feel Niggaz diggin in my pockets for my currency reels But still, I make girls brown eyes blue at will (until) my [bad word] was no longer mass appeal Oh [bad word] I guess that was all the fame I was alloted Wait a minite, new video, like a leopard I'm spotted in a night club chillin with Kamaal and Phife I be that farmer cultivating owning acres of mics And I likes to make it known Strong Island stylin for a while, so do that dance (Are you rockin the spot?) Yes I be (Showin others they do not?) Yes I be (Havin then towed from the lot?) Yes I be That's my job as a supa emcee, I'm from Long Isle Mobile, make it worth your while If the jam needs motion I'm the one to dial (Goin beyond ninety watts) Yes I be (Well are you rockin it?)

Posdanos help the next get loose Like an alcohol scenario rap be on the rocks Authenticity that missin fee to pay to join the flock of MC These niggaz stand lower than knees Dramatized in they eyes as the ones to please When rap kids apply violent pressure to father, brother and son for fun to say they inflict pain R&niggaz lie to mother, sister, and daughter to have disguised as lovin in the rain Their words are more hallow than October 31st what's worse, hate to see the females switch to ual mentality, it doesn't match with they given anatomy Man they rather be hoes like that male emcee Who walk around like they got nuts And use the [bad word] and [bad word] like a [bad word] Man the underground's about not bein exposed So you better take you naked [bad word] and put on some clothes man this be goin out to the kids from east smash (long island) amityville (long island) to all my people out in whinedance, bayshore (long island) C.I.'s in the place (long island) brinkwood, hempstead, all my (long island) brothers out in roosevelt, freeport (long island) uniondale to long beach (long island) to them girls out in huntington (long island) long island for real (long island)
