Listen to the ballad of 40 Thevz number one
As I grab the microphone like a dagger does a gun
But I don't be jackin' fools for dey automobiles
I gained management publishing a record deal
I feel I been rappin' on the mic for so long
But still ain't nothin' goin' on but a funky song
Long as it's strong I remain
40 Thevz in the house, Billy Boyz and the Gang

I put up wit' this and I put up wit' that
I got mo' tricks than Felix the Cat's bag
Bags of all colors couldn't upset my tempo
A dark-skinned bro like my circle
I'm a cheetah, you're a turtle over the top
My hurdle win dis rap race or should I say rat race
And since I be the rat I'm in first place ya better play catch up
I'm servin' fools with the huh hiccups

Throw ya hands in the air and wave 'em like you just don't care
Throw ya hands in the air and wave 'em like you just don't care

I got some funk in my pocket for the true hip-hoppers
I gets my props
When I bus' dese rhymes on top o' funky tracks
Puffin' on the crack I'll have none of that
Down wit' the thieves I believe could be my runnin' pack
I'll steal your shoes while you're walkin' in 'em
I got the bomb that'll have you coughin' if you hit 'em
We couldn't get 'em up wit' me if I was wearin' skates
I read bustas like books and see through 'em like lace

Now I gotta put it down like a real G only
If you ain't wit' the program then hear from the voter
I'm down around the end like my name was Lawrence Taylor
I'm down with a rat dat used to be a sailor
To funk or not to funk, dat is the question
These fools better watch where dey steppin'
'Cause my act is like a secret weapon loaded and cocked
So gimme a call 'cause I'm always on the clock

Call me if you need someone to rock you
Call me Coolio and the 40 Thevz
Ding-dong-ring-a-ding-ding-ding-dong
Ring-ding-dong-ring-a-ding-ding-ding-dong

Around the global the mobile dial the digits push in
One way or another, 40 Thevz breakin' in
Takin' on non believers in the industry
Who's to find sucker rappers and put 'em out their misery
I spit game like a new B got more drama than a movie
If you know me then you knew me, little badass Pookie
Like to wear my pants droopy
But I shine like a ruby
You candt do me
I'm down with the twenty times two thieves

I throw into the hype wit' my fresh pair of ears
I'm down wit' the hustler and the gangsters and the players
I'm hittin' fools hard like my name is Ronnie Lott
And I'm down wit' the circle 'cause you know it don't stop
Fools don't wanna step 'cause the suckers know I'm packin'
Crack over the fence like my name was Reggie Jackson
Switchin' around the pitcher like Catfish Hunter
On the mound like Doc Gooden all rolled into one son
Ooh ah ooh ooh ah, 40 Thevz in the house gettin' large

Call me if you need someone to rock you
Call me Coolio and the 40 Thevz
Ding dong ring a ding ding ding dong
Ring ding dong ring a ding ding ding dong

It's time to step to the mic wit' the steel in my grip
Cool and the forty like Gladys and the Pips or the O'Jays
But not the Simpson, you must be trippin'
From city to city we be tennis shoe pimpin'
I'm lookin' for some action, that's why I'm rappin'
I got a ship, you can ride, but I'm the captain so
Dippin' chicken tender in the barbecue funk
Just make sure you got a lot of room in your trunk

I'm a winner, Bill's a winner, B's a winner, Lee's a winner
Wouldn't you like to be a winner too?
Ooh I got a job to do, somebody's gotta lose it
Won't be me so I guess it's gotta be you
I'm just one in the pack of four black Macks that's
Down to gang bang if you want it like that
So bring yo' team yo' posse, yo' crew
And you still can't see the thirty-eight plus two

Call me if you need someone to rock you
Call me Coolio and the 40 Thevz
Ding-dong-ring-a-ding-ding-ding-dong
Ring-ding-dong-ring-a-ding-ding-ding-dong
Call me if you need someone to rock you
Call me Coolio and the 40 Thevz
Ding-dong-ring-a-ding-ding-ding-dong
Ring-ding-dong-ring-a-ding-ding-ding-dong
