Milky, and I'm back 
My ace in the hole was this brand new track 
I'ma slow it up and speed it up and now you're gonna eat it up 
Listen to the funky beat, my tongue is gonna beat it up 
I did it, but the devil didn't make me 
I did it for the suckers who tried to shake and bake me 
Proving a point that I'm a serious joint 
You can roll me up and puff me, and then I'll anoint 
Your head with oil--lots of oil 
Make it run like water, watch it boil 
'Cause I made 'em play it, made 'em say it 
Made 'em okay it, made 'em obey it---huh!
Prince of the growl is on the prowl 
How you like me now punk? You living foul 
Here's what my game is, here is what my aim is 
A washed up rapper needs a washer, my name is-- 

[Chorus:]
Jack the Ripper 
Jack-Jack-Jack the Ripper 
Jack-Jack, Jack-Jack, Jack-Jack, Jack the Ripper 
King Hercules! 

Back for the payback, I must say that 
I heard your new jam, I don't play that 
It ain't loud enough punk, it ain't hitting 
This year you tried, next year you're quitting 
Last year you thought I was dying out 
But again, and again, and again without a doubt 
It's the gangster boogie, the earthquake sound 
Pump it up and play it so they hear it all around 
I do it up rough, tough, I don't bluff 
And this is an example of funky stuff 
When you want to make hits, you make 'em like this 
They ain't like this they don't hit, they miss 
It's a strong record, a record for the strong 
For those who appreciate real rap songs 
Listen how I won't allow myself to go off track 
Stay back, I got the power, I'm-- 

[Chorus:]

Jack the Ripper, a man, not a myth 
A-k-a James Todd Smith 
Hard like penitentiary steel 
Breaking necks while I flex my sex appeal 
Home girls in the house, see'mon 
Home girls in the house, give it up 
You gotta want to get hotter 
Moving and grooving, and always improving a lot of 
People don't know how nice I am 
People sleeping, so now I gotta slice my man 
Like ham in a pan, wrap him up in Saran 
Kidnap him and slap him up inside of a van 
While you're doing your dance I want you to make moves 
Don't run out there ? ? ? 
You know my name and my game and what I'm here to do 
Party people, lemme see if you can dance to-- 

[Chorus:]
Break it down! x3 
Yo Bob, show that old school sucker punk what real hip hop is boy 
[scratches] 

"How Ya Like Me Now?" I'm getting busier 
I'm double platinum, I'm watching you get dizzier 
Check out the way I say my, display my, play my 
Ain't holding back, behind the cool without the A.Y. 
I love to ride the groove because the groove is smooth 
It makes me move and I'll improve 
As it goes on, as it flows on 
When you see me, don't ask if the show's on 
How that sound? Don't came around, playing me close, brown 
Pull on my jock to be down 
You need to stay down, way down, because you're low down 
Do that dance, the prince of rap is gonna throw down 
Aiming to please while I'm killing emcees 
I'm gonna keep on hitting you with rough LPs 
Day after day after day 
Tou smashed in the face by the vase of Cool J 
I'm--[scratches] 

I'm a beast on the microphone, a night stalker 
A killing machine, a savage street talker 
Jason with an axe, but I put it on wax 
To eradicate the suckers who thought I had relaxed 
The prince of hip hop, straight from Queens 
Kicking it mean, keeping it clean 
And you've never seen anybody rock the party 
All you punks ? ? ? this beats Bacardi 
I go to the show, and terrorize emcees, don't you know 
Moving my hand like I'm playing the piano 
Don't touch the dial, don't change the channel 
Don't let me hear you say I ain't debonair 
I'm better than any emcee out there 
As a matter of fact, suckers can't compare 
When I rocking the mic people stop and stare, at..
