Y Should I Do That When I Can Do This?

Let's play a game called "U agree"

Cuz nothin' was created in disagreement, see

And if I didn't try 2 school U, I'd be remissed

U know what?

Y should I do that when I can do this?

(Do this)

(Boom shakalakala boom)

This drummer wicked

(Do this)

U were just conceived on a Friday night

I was on stage wasting brothers in a real fight

Everytime they copped my space down I worked it harder

Stripped down 2 my underwear and spanked them like they father

Never before had people seen a vision so bizarre

Play a hand that's equal 2 mine

Uh, look at my cards I heard your little groove and I raised U another

On a Sunday morning would U play that smack 4 your mother?

Huh, I believe U would think otherwise

A few CDs from now when the software that U're banging's not alive

In a real battle those loops y'all got suffer TKO's

Until U're playing in front of 70,000 U'll never know, nigga

This a grown folks job

All the young dogs need 2 recognize

If the world was God, the people need 2 use it with a 3rd eye

Who? What? Why? Uh, lookout

And if I didn't try 2 school U I would be remissed

Y should I do that when I can do this?

[If a nigga never stylin', who would I diss?]

Y should I do that when I can do this?

(Boom shakalakala boom)

This drummer wicked

Y should I do that when I can do this?

This drummer wicked

Y should I do that when I can do this?

Everytime I turn around there's another boot

Talking about what another boot can't do

Quiet as it's kept, everyone of U boots need 2 try 2 walk a mile in my shoes

I've had devils (out) try 2 take me out but I stand 4 the truth

So my words makes mo' dollars than sense on your hellavision or your radio

With this flow it just grows

Yo, ask Chuck D. - he know

He's been fightin' the "so called power" since the days of old

So tell me now what should be sold?

Sleepy Jack hazards y'all need a couple of No-doze (Ooh)

Ask Mary J. about Chaka

Mary, is Chaka on the radio? (No)

Huh, see U gotta save your own

In the end it ain't about the dollars but the seeds U've sewn

In a mind state full of Dutch ELM that's where the ghetto's grown (Ohh)

Watch out y'all can't block me out 2night

If I didn't try 2 school u I'd be remissed

Y should I do that when I can do this? (Hey yeah)

(Do this)

[If a nigga never stylin', who would I diss?]

Y should I do that when I can do this

(Boom shakalakala boom)

This drummer wicked

Y should I do that when I can do this?

Uh, a drummer in a cold sweat, backin' up my rhyme

I'd make U take your shortie outta here (Everytime )

Calling me fine

I got a big stick, one 4 each hand

Everybody know I keep a tight band, come on

Uh

My brothers in Manhattan say, "Got 2 shut these haters down G."

He say, "Dog I got yo' back but U gotta, U gotta make a sound" (Make a sound)

Like we used 2, "Well U might be pissed

Cuz y would I do that when I can do this?"

2 most I'm known as a lover, 2 others I'm just a pain (Say what?)

The latter's opinion usually form when mediocrity reigns

And if I didn't school ya, U know what? (What?)

I would be remissed

Yo, y would I do that y'all, (haha) Londell, when I can do this?

(Y should I do that when I can do this?)

Y would I do that y'all, Ananda, when I can do this? (Backup)

(Y should I do that when I can do this)

Y would I do that y'all, Doug E., when I can do this?

Y would I do that y'all, Spike, when I could do this?

(Y should I do that when I can do this?)

Y would I do that y'all, NPG? We can do this, we can do this

Boom!
