So Solid, ladies and gentleman, I'm about to resort to violence.
Yo, this is a So Solid criminal gangster production,
Listen cause you don't play games you know trust me,
Ha Ha Ha Ha.

A yo, Let her know, me in the doe, 
See me yo, busted a show and here I go,
See ma flow, dirty though, 
You never know like woah,
There I go, there I go,
A yo you never know until I made (Oh No!)
You know So Solid,
On a roll, dirty though, we dirty though, 
Like there I go, there I go, there I go.

Why d'you really want to imitate me? 
Why d'you really want to imitate me? 
Why d'you really want to imitate me? 
Why is it that you just want to be me? [Repeat: x 2]

Ladies when I get down in ma physical, 
When I get down down in ma lyrical mibical,
Ha, lyrical, biblical, bad vibe inside, get up and wants to rhyme,
Ladies when I get down in ma physical, 
When I get down down in ma lyrical mibical,
Ha, lyrical, biblical, bad vibe inside, get up and wants to rhyme.

Want to be wawanna be want to be, do what I want to do want to do,
So Solid Crew made me realise its an outgoing fight to stay the mike,
When I ride the mike, make you feel the vibe,
When I ride the mike, make you feel the vibe,
When I ride the mike, make you feel the vibe.

[Chorus: x 2]
They don't know about my crew,
They don't know what I do,
They don't know about my flow,
They don't know where I go,
They don't know about my click,
They don't know about my shit,
They want to know about my doe,
But I don't spend it let it grow.

Play the part, big time in ma art,
I'm in a hurry in the basement in the dark,
I gotta bring ma elision, I'm gonna spark this,
When ma style is relentless,
People say So Solid never meant this, 
I'm mad and this is ma way to break this,
How many people do you know could?ve wrote this,
How many people do you know could?ve wrote this.

Yo run it up, give up flow,
Ha give me the cash, give me the doe,
Yo I've been the bad guy and the hero,
As long as the police make ma statements grow.

I'm making money from Jim to the Joe,
I'm eating chicken getting shook like crows,
Asher D is at the start of the show, 
You never mimical the crucial though.

Yo stopping the show, you know gonna flow,
A yo lyrical, biblical bad flow, 
Yo stopping the show, you know gonna flow,
A yo lyrical, biblical bad flow,
Yo stopping the show, you know gonna flow,
A yo lyrical, biblical bad flow,
Yo yo, yo yo.
Asher D starting the show.

Want to be wawanna be want to be, do what I want to do want to do,
So Solid Crew made me realize its an outgoing fight to stay the mike,
When I ride the mike, make you feel the vibe,
When I ride the mike, make you feel the vibe,
When I ride the mike, make you feel the vibe.

[Chorus: x 2]
They don't know about my crew,
They don't know what I do,
They don't know about my flow,
They don't know where I go,
They don't know about my click,
They don't know about my shit,
They want to know about my doe,
But I don't spend it let it grow.

Want to live life, bringing the family,
Want to kick back and watch them spend money,
So niggas want to feel when I'm hypie like say the words,
Want to see do you recite me (what?)

Wait what would you do if you were me?
Would you scrape now away from the big heat?
Niggas want to see niggas get rich,
But niggas don't want to see me to live pricey, 

Nicely, everywhere you like to live, you'd settle with me, 
Come into ma crib g,
Oh I see niggas want to bite the dust thinking mega?s 
Gonna to do his own thing g,

Back in the day, I had no luxury,
That never stopped because of ma bravery,
You get shook when you're ne-are me 
Asher D telling ma life story.

Spin keys make money for centuries,
Had doe and enough when I spend ma g?s,
People on ma back always wanting freebies,
Get out of ma face, 

Watch me on T.V.
Listen you don't really want to see me, 
When it's dark outside and I'm angry,
I grow up wishes for girls like a genie,

I press in the car with my CD's,
I'm stack in my car in my TT,
I'm bus big up show you want to see me,
Danger when you're ne-are me, 
You can't hear me, but you feel me.

Why d'you really want to imitate me? 
Why d'you really want to imitate me? 
Why is that you just want to be me,
But you can't see that you're the only one to the scene.

[Chorus: x 2]
They don't know about my crew,
They don't know what I do,
They don't know about my flow,
They don't know where I go,
They don't know about my click,
They don't know about my shit,
They want to know about my doe,
But I don't spend it let it grow.
