Lyrics

[Intro] One for the night, two for the day Let's let them know, that we don't play! One-two ,one-two, right about this time in the place to be Me, myself, MC Shy D And on the two turntables is my mellow, my man My pal, my deuce, I call him DJ Man So homeboy, cut it up, cut, cut-cut it up Cut it up, cut, cut-cut it up And just let them know that you are tough, hoo-hoo Yo, think I should tell 'em Well, check this out! Yo! [Verse 1] You want to put me to the test, there's something to consider When i'm scheduled to rock, I will always deliver I've been gone for a while, but it's time to attack They call me Shy D, and I am back I came to this place, to rock the house And you know Shy D is gonna turn it out And it's time to rock, and i'm gonna rock hard You know I always do my best, 'cause that's our ??? So don't get us wrong, 'cause i'm here to say DJ Man, and Shy D, we don't play Yo man, cut-cut-cut it! Back, Back Back, Back, Back [Verse 2] Back in '79, when I used to rap Used to think I was talkin' all that crap Now it's '86, so you think you commit And you think you're full of a bag of tricks You're a nothin' nobody, who wanna be known You can't even rock, the microphone You need to get away from me, 'cause you will get squashed You need to be workin' at the, car wash Don't ever try to battle, I think i'm the best They call me Shy D and I know i'm fresh That's right, 'cause i'm the MC dominator And compared to me, there's no one greater You say i'm number uno, when you're talkin' about one Don't you go nowhere, 'cause i've just begun 'Cause i'm the S-H-Y, don't forget the D And DJ Man is in the place to be My mellow, my man, he's not no jerk When he's on the turntable, he cuts up bezerk Don't get us wrong, 'cause i'm here to say DJ Man and Shy D, we don't play Yo Man, cut-cut-cut it! I-I-I [Verse 3] I get real upset when MC's try to bite 'Cause you know it's not polite, and you know it ain't right When I sit down, to write these rhymes And I come in the party, and you're sayin' my lines You get me real mad, you make me want to fight If you know what I know, you better stay out of my sight I'm not goin' that route, 'cause I don't play You better listen to, every word I say 'Cause I live on this kingdom, that I call earth And i'm the ruler of the planet, this is my turf All you bum MC's, what you need to do Is pack your bags, 'cause you are through I'm at a level of success and there is no one higher When see me around, you better call me sire Or Mr. Shy D, or you can call me Peter 'Cause everybody knows, i'm an MC defeater When me and Man, in the house You know, we're guaranteed to turn the party out So don't get us wrong, 'cause i'm here to say DJ Man and Shy D, we don't play Yo Man, cut it! Yo, won't you ask that girl Can she feel it [Verse 4] When I grab a microphone, MC's pay attention There's one more thing, that I should mention You think you're on, the T-O-P You even said your name, was MC Shy D But you know your name ain't Shy, and your name ain't D So you need to stop, acting like me 'Cause I make records, and you make tapes I look like a prince, and you look like an ape You know I buy cars, 'cause I rent it down at the source You better pay attention, because i'm your boss To all you jazzy ladies, Pisces is my sign You're dissin' that boy when i'm runnin' down my mind You know he's just a sucker, comin' off the block And me, myself, i'm as hard as a rock I will give it to you right, put it down to you straight It's you, little boy, that I eliminate There's two in the crew, call us dos I do like to brag, but I don't like to boast So don't get us wrong, 'cause i'm here to say DJ Man and Shy D, and we don't play Breakdown! Cut it! Now my homeboy, DJ Man Yall know what he likes to Do? He like to (Cut it) [Verse 5] It's time to step up, and MC's, don't forget Don't ever try to bite my manuscript When i'm up on stage, don't get excited I know my rhymes are def, and I know you want to bite it 'Cause i'm MC Shy D, I got the capability Of bringin' any MC down to his knees And Man got the skills, he's a turntable master And when he's on the mix, no one cuts faster I'm the S, the H, the Y, the D And you will never find another MC like me So don't get us wrong, 'cause i'm here to say It's Man and Shy D, and we don't play! [Outro] You know what i'm sayin'? We don't play! Party people, bust it, we don't play! 'Cause I gotta be tough DJ Man What's my name? Shy, Shy D Ladies, huh-huh-huh huh!
