MC's try to play close, play me up close
Brag and boast, you know
Things like that make me weary
But I never let a rapper get near me
Cause I'm Rob Base, pick up the pace
It takes more than beats to rock this place
It takes more than rhymes to rock this time
Rhyme for rhyme, the Base design
MC's get mad cause I'm blowin' up
For every battle, the Base be showin' up
A fast tempo, I'm with the hook
Don't judge a book by the way that the cover look
Cause I'm mean, reign supreme
Wrote my first rhyme at the age of fifteen
I'm like a match when struck, I burn
Not concerned cause I'm sure that you won't learn
Now get up and let's start
I wanna see which sucker got heart
I get fresh as I get older
Every time I rock, I get bolder
So don't sleep and say I'm wack
Cause if you do, you get backslapped, so
If it's not in your vision
Don't sleep on it, don't sleep on it
Don't make no decision
Turn it up, just rip your head off
Drop your ego and let me go
And just show what I know cause I'm on the go
I rock smooth, bust a move, hit me
In the way I perform, you can't forget me
Clear up the smoke, this ain't a joke
The new kid on the block is like dope
Been here for a while, been on punishment
But now I'm off, so let's start it
No, I'm not retarded or even crazy
I work hard, I'm not lazy
Rappers don't phase me or even maze me
Or even come up close and just graze me
Coolin', never be a fool and
Give me just a little more time, I be rulin'
Chillin' to the max cause I'm on wax
And should I pay tax or should I just ask
To get a new job? Yes, time is what I'm pressed for
Every time I perform, you want more, so
If it's not in your vision
Don't sleep on it, don't sleep on it
Don't make no decision
Turn it up, just rip your head off
I break it down to get the dope sound
To hang around with the posse from Uptown
On the Ave, they get cash
But I leave it alone cause I'm a smash
On the mic, I think differently
From another or other MC who
Intervene, try to just rip
Up the Rob on the sneak tip
I get mad, they get sad
Or either rag the hat cause I'm that bad
I'm not frontin' cause this is my theory
You don't believe me? So just hear me
I rock harder, I rock longer
I do this cause I gotta get stronger
A lot of rappers rhyme harder and meaner
But I rhyme with a sound that's cleaner
I ain't nothin', that's what they say
Well, okay, if they wanna play that way
Cause I'm Rob, butt-kickin' Base
One rapper's next to be erased
On my list, I'm not known to diss
But I do it, so don't sleep on this, come on
If it's not in your vision
Don't sleep on it, don't sleep on it
Don't make no decision
Turn it up, just rip your head off
Hit it, admit it, you did it, you can't fit it
So forget it cause I know you ain't with it
In the center, I didn't rent her
Sat your butt in the chair, got a splinter
Back in the days, amazed by the rap craze
Rap today, to me, it don't phase me
I'm not another MC
I ain't grieved by the way you speak to me
Jealousy what makes you wanna battle me
Dope beats what makes you wanna idol me
It ain't nothin' to me or E-Z
Cause I'm the R, the O, the B, and he's E-Z
Apostrophe, whatever it be, you see
He or me, the E, the Z, the A
The B, the alphabets from A to Z, you see
I'm not tryin' to confuse your mind
I'm just tryin' to pump this plain, old fresh rhyme
I stay calm, rap like a pro
I know you know, so let's go, come on
If it's not in your vision
Don't sleep on it, don't sleep on it
Don't make no decision
Turn it up, just rip your head off
Now, Easy Rock, you remember how we did it before
I want you to do it one more time for your mind
1, 2, 3, Give it to 'em
If it's not
Turn it up
Don't sleep on it, come on
If it's not
Turn it up
Don't sleep on it, come on
If it's not
Turn it up
Don't sleep on it, come on
If it's not
Turn it up
Don't sleep on it, come on
If it's not
Turn it up
Don't sleep on it, come on
