[Rodney Jerkins]

Darkchild, Big Will, 2000

Bust out, shake it up now

Come on, come on

And shake it up now

Who am I?

You know, you know

Big Will, ya ready?

Come on

[Will Smith]

When I was a lad I used to dream that (one day)

I'd earned the cream that make phat rocks gleam

Phat rhymes to make it seem that I was like Bill Gates

Writing lines, seal fates

Power to change the whole set

For exposure or forfeit

And with the wicked sense on how to get the picket fence

Envisioned a hot life, hot wife

Wanted a crib, well a palace like South Fork on Dallas

With lights simmer trees for the ambiance

I been up and down and high and low

Fly with dough, broke looking grimy yo

My shiny glow definitely ain't cause of my Bentley

It's something that my fam put in me

Who am I? You ask

The guy with the razzmatazz with ten duffel bags packed withpazazz

In the past cut twice by the ladies of my life

(and the wounds) stitched up by my wife

Who am I?

It's suffice to say found gold in my heart

Put the ice away

Nicer day, live foul homie it's a price to pay

Even when it's rainy still I say it's nice to day

Who am I?

That brother with the platinum plaque

With the strength to stand and say gangsta rap was whack

The fact is that when that brother rap or act

Hold position, front of the pack

Who am I?

[Tatyana Ali]

I be fully educated

Not the one to play with

And I find that some of y'all hate it

But you wanna know baby

Who am I?

I be fully educated

Not the one to play with

And I find that some of y'all hate it

But you wanna know baby

Who am I?

Baby if you really wanna know about me

I'll tell you who I am

I'll tell you I be not the one for games

But if you're right with me

I know I'll do the same

I be fully educated

Not the one to play with

And I find that some of y'all hate it

But you wanna know baby

Who am I?

I be fully educated

Not the one to play with

And I find that some of y'all hate it

But you wanna know baby

Who am I?

(L-Y-T-E)

[MC Lyte]

Who am I?

You dare to ask

The same female that hailed from Brooklyn and wailed on thatass

I'm your worst nightmare, you're best wet dream

Break the bank papi cause we're coming for the cream

And while I'm in the world ain't none of y'all safe

Hold face, sell a million and you still won't equate

So who am I? It ain't hard to tell

Like staying on track cause you thinking I fell

See a lot know my face but a few know me well

Just who I am is the one to make ya gel

Who am I? The chick that keeps spittin'

Taking back all my snip that was bitten

Rewritten dangerous laison

With the shades on

Making sure the track stays on

Days on end I'll be that one true friend

That will always be around when the world falls down

I'm honest to the bone

No question, suggest

You don't wanna know

I give the truth, nothing less than

I'm sweet with a heart to fit

Smart as a whip

You feed me well but I'm still hard to get

I'm like a calculus problem hard to solve

Study me well if you wanna get involved

And even after that I'm still unpredictable

Now who am I? I'm unforgettable

[Tatyana Ali]

I be fully educated

Not the one to play with

And I find that some of y'all hate it

But you wanna know baby

Who am I?

I be fully educated

Not the one to play with

And I find that some of y'all hate it

But you wanna know baby

Who am I?

I be fully educated

Not the one to play with

And I find that some of y'all hate it

But you wanna know baby

Who am I?

I be fully educated

Not the one to play with

And I find that some of y'all hate it

But you wanna know baby

Who am I?
