What I Got
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was bored
I need a new drug
Everybody bitin' shit
Gettin' fucked up
M.I.A. rollin' wit Blaqstarr
Anyone talking shit
I'm gonna blow em all up
Who's mad, who's crazy, who's fucked up?
It's about time I rack em all up
More fire, more power, more wound up
I'm the queen of this shit
Don't bother steppin' up
Dance dammit dance
I rule
Dance dammit dance
I rule
What I got you can't get from ya mama
What I got you can't get from ya ho
I got alien aphrodisiacs
I found visiting planets of the zodiac
Got a six pack so you don't get side track
I'll be in Baltimore tonight on the amtrack
Got a Mac with PCP for ya lap
Same effects as LSD and smack
Boom boom I'm bringin you the new crack
Like a club track made from Iraq
What I got you can't get from ya mama
What I got you can't get from ya ho
Get to you in high tech pro tool
Woop woop chop screw in hotels
Club cars in the street front of people
At home we can play some scruples
But tonite I'll wait 'til the nightfall
Like a ninja glide over waterfalls
Get to you to give you a lil rock and roll
Tap tap that bed to the wall
Tap tap that bed to the wall
