(You got it)(You) (you) (you) (you got it)(You got it)(You got it)(You) (you) (you got it)(You got it)Get up everybody and listen to this rhymeMy name is Everlast and yo, I'm always on timeI got what it takes to make this groove completeAnd when my DJ is cuttin, he's never missin a beatI'm down with the Syndicate and they're down with meI'm also down with Divine, Bilal and Quincy D.Tairrie B., DJ Lethal and my brother Kool NickKid Jazz, Scratch, Bango and Cutmaster QuickI've worked hard and long to master this tradeAnd to quote my other song yo, I'm just out to get paidSo sleep on me now for my time will comeEverlast lasts forever, that's why I'm number oneI got the knack(You got it)(You know I feel alright)I got the knack(You got it)(You know I feel alright)I got the knack(You got it)(You know I feel alright)I got the knack(You got it)(You know I feel alright)Everlast is in effectGettin big respectThen I collect big checks1's, 5's, 10's, 20's100 g's and I'm pullin honeysLeft and right, day and nightYou gotta see it to believe it, it's quite a sightThey're all on my tip to get a sipOf this poetical performer that's fully equippedBut I'm out to get paid, not to get laidAll across
the country my records gettin playedOn radio stations,
clubs and on toursAnd after every show I make three
encoresSleep on me now for my time will comeEverlast last
forever, that's why I'm number oneI got the knack(You got
it)(You know I feel alright)I got the knack(You got it)(You
know I feel alright)I got the knack(You got it)(You know I
feel alright)I got the knack(Ah yeah)(Hit me)(Alright)
(Check this out)Step up, place your bet and I'll serve you
fortuneBut first I must issue just one word of cautionDope
lyric presentations are my sole notorietyEverlast is on the
rise movin through societyMy voice is moist recitin choice
vocalsRespected worldwide and feared by localsPoppin junk
out your punk mouth makin betsIt's too late for regrets,
it's time to pay your debtsE-v-e-r-l-a-s-t is the name that
I bearA poetic demi-god with skin that's fairSo sleep on me
now for my time will comeEverlast lasts forever, that's why
I'm number oneI got the knack(You got it)(You know I feel
alright)I got the knack(You got it)(You know I feel alright)
I got the knack(You got it)(You know I feel alright)I got
the knack(You got it)(You know I feel alright)Now there's
too many people in this world tryin to play meLike I'm some
kind of sucker constantly they disobey meTellin me what's
sellin, what kinda records get chartedSound like him, sound
like her - but they all sound retardedTakin very little
time to write down a rhymeIt's confusing to see so many
people so blindSome think that it's a sell-out rhymin to
this beatBut Everlast can take any groove and make it sound
completeI got the knack
