The Godfather

Lyrics

[Intro] I'm the godfather I'm the godfather I'm the godfather Of rap [Verse 1] Well let's get this straight, there's no contest So now you people know and don't have to guess I'm not the king of rap, not lord, not prince I was a young kid rappin', I've been rockin' ever since I was just a young buck, I didn't care what MCs were in my way, they never uttered a "but" [Chorus] 'Cause I'm the godfather I'm the godfather [Verse 2] I cause silly young ladies to just chill They never say no to me, always say that they will do Whenever I want them to, when I confront them to Watch where you're walkin', or you just might bump into I never rule them, I only school them But if they ever try to fool me, that's when I fool them [Chorus] I'm the godfather I'm the godfather [Verse 3] No time to be jealous, only to make money I rap on stage, shake my butt for your honey 'Cause I'm a rockin', I'm a non-stoppin' MC baby, who loves finger-poppin' So don't diss me, just kiss me If I ever had it and leave, you're gonna miss me I'm just a brother, so what's up sis? 'Cause it's the pretty young ladies that make me talk like this [Chorus] Yes I'm the godfather I'm the godfather [Verse 4] They say that I'm an MC, some say that I'm a poet I changed my style, people just didn't know it yet I had to tell 'em, I'm like Pelham You mess with me and both of your eyes, I swell 'em Well like Al Capone, I'm 'bout to take charge I've got a spit-shined, spankin'-new car in my garage All the ladies want to cruise me, they don't move me See my bankroll, they want to try to use me But I'm no fool, never losin' my cool And for me to undress, I make the young ladies drool I'm not braggin', tellin' you what I'm about Young ladies, no babies, and marriage is out But if you insist, you can come get this Your house or mine, night or day'll be fine So let's get with it, so that I can hit it In an hour or two me and you can just quit it [Chorus] I'm the godfather I'm the godfather [Verse 5] Now the beat'll be smokin' while the fire's out So take your hand off your hips and baby let's work out No leanin' on the wall, no standin' around So are you ready (For what?!) for the beat in me now Because people come and see me, some even want to be me Pretty young ladies wanna L-U-V me The beat's so bad that at 9 o'clock In the morning if you play it, they'll call the cops [Chorus] Yes I'm the godfather Yes I'm the godfather [Verse 6] You've got rockin' beats, non-stoppin' beats Some records even have finger-poppin' beats Always rappin' on time, Gemini is my sign I'm so deep, that's why I keep all the girlies on mine I'm a fanatic at this, I'm at the top of the list Stay cool, don't break the rules unless you wanna get dissed Respect me while I'm rappin' on a record or show You could stare 'cause I don't care, just as long you know [Chorus] That I'm the godfather Yes I'm the godfather [Verse 7] Now you'll be jumpin', your heart'll be thumpin' Place'll be rockin', sweat'll be poppin' Off your face, all over the place Easy Lee spinnin' records at a steady pace Don't stand around, your face holdin' a frown This is the season, no reason you can't get down So get off the wall, let's have a ball Boogie down to the beat, just give it your all No need to get high, just have money to spend So you can have a good time because it's within [Outro] 'Cause I'm the godfather Yes I'm the godfather Of rap
