Same Ol Thing

[Chrous:]

"The same ol' thing (all over the world)

The same ol' thing (got to get 'em wit it)

The same ol' thing (MCs out there got)

The same ol' thing (so let me tell ya bout it) "

MCs keep comin' with the same ol' thing

with the same ol' swing

with the same ol' ending

the same ol' climax

cause many have no vertebrae

yo but D E L & HIEROGLYPHICS have to murder a

fraudulent foe real quick

and get them off of our dicks

show the public that they ass ain't slick

they lack skills

and they can only thrill ya by dance steps

I coulda iced Vanilla, but I haven't got the chance yet

but that's ok

cause he was dissed on Soul Train

he got booed because his rhymes are so lame

he ain't the only one

he's far from it

there's more on Earth

and they're all gonna plummet

like falling stars

because a brother's in charge

I'ma stomp mud holes in they ass like they was El DeBarge

then charge to the front of the class

suckers everywhere like broken glass, yo

but I'ma keep troopin' through the Meadow with the fellow named X

and a pillow

to sock the pussy willows

while I get dough as I grow as a rhymer

and they can keep showin' their teeth like Aunt Jemima

it's the same ol' thing...

[Chorus:]

...and it's gettin' kinda ancient,

I'm in your face with force

to eliminate monotonous

braggin' & boastin' so most will end up profitless

cause they ain't got a foot to stand on

and I'ma leave the stage bloodier than a Tampon

I can't get no rest

because of gamin' little pests

will step & try to test me with the same ol' thing

I wish it would stop

but more than likely it will not

cause too many MCs got the same ol' thing

so I change & rearange rhyme patterens

keep ya mind scatterin'

from the solar system

and I still dissed 'em

the ones with the CRUMBS on they lips

talkin' about Sucka MCs that don't exist

and I get the gist

so don't play me like a imbecile

thinkin' that ya large

but ya small as a thimble

plus I get mantal over funky tracks

and ya still talkin' Sucka MCs?

That shit is wack

if I ever dissed an MC

it was one with a name

so don't tell me he was one in the same

because I know better

I flow better than the average Joe

I use my nubian stick to overthrow that same ol' thing...

[Chorus:]

MCs out there got the same ol' thing

got the sameol' game

and trip, some got the same ol' name

like Rockmaster This

Mighty Kingathat

who died & left you the Wolfman, Jack?

But the Boogiemen are irregular

spactacular, dracula

and plus we're gettin' clever

I never had the urge to ass a tag to my title

and I won't add a (rah!) or a (huh!) at the end of my recital

hip hop hibbit

I never say a rhyme like that

cause I can take my time & give it

thought, so I went & bought

a pen & pad

now I'm makin' MCs real mad

like Young MC

goin' out like Sugar Hill

add a new beat

new rhyme (huh!)

bogus still

and even if we are in the same gang

it ain't no need

for all MCs to have the same ol' thing...

[Chorus:]

...and it's gettin' mighty ancient...
