Please let me get down and blow a fuse
Acting fools breaking shit down to molecules
Yo let me hit you with my ill street blues

Woo-Hah! Hey baby girl don't be confused
Sail my seven seas and enjoy my boat cruise
I know you really want to know who's
Coming through leaving blunt stains and residues
Sorry homeboy but your flow sound used
Got to pay your dues baby you know the rules
Whenever I travel the world I landcruise
If you choose to f*ck around you get bruised
Now I got you gassed on super unleaded fuels
Give me room, give me some space yo excuse

Throw your hands up in the air don't ever disrespect
Woo-Hah! I got you all in check

Straight to your dome, we coming straight to your dome
Bringing all new ruckus to all you rap motherfuckers

Blast your ass hit you with a direct blow

Make you bounce around like this was calypso
Always shine cause I got the Hi-Pro Glow
You think that you can hide you think you can lay low
Roll up on your ass like Hawaii 5-0
Macked out with my dreads and my Kangol
Forget the Moet nigga just pass the Cisco
Yo! Take a trip down to Mexico
Come back with that shit that might make you psycho
Maximum frequencies through your stereo
Sorry this is it but homeboy I got to go

When I step up in the place a-yo I step correct
Woo-Hah! Got you all in check

Woo-Hah! I got you all in check
And you know we come through to wreck the discotheque
Woo-Hah! I got you all in check
Throw your hands up in the air don't ever disrespect
Woo-Hah! I got you all in check
