I Let ’Em Know

Lyrics

[Intro] Ladies and Gentlemen In the next ten rounds for the heavyweight championship of the world [Verse 1] Now I have won one million battles Take MCs, round 'em up like cattle Grant em and then I lock em up in a pen And if they want another try then I will do it again Because my name is Young MC and rockin' a mic is my craft But when I first started, everyone just laughed 'Cause I got rocked 'n rolled, left out in the cold 'Cause I was tryin' to battle men when I was ten years old But time went by and I got wise And every time I did a party, well I opened my eyes Until now ya see before, the guy who won't ignore ya Won't be talkin' about the girlies, like I read on Latoya See I am just that kind of fellow Sometimes rough, most other time mellow Gather a crowd when I start rappin' out loud And I am here to rock a party, that's what I vowed So, just like Clark Kent is into Superman I become a superhero when the mic's in my hand 'Cause I am hard to swallow, a tough act to follow I'm solid straight through while the others are hollow 'Cause I been rockin' parties since I was a child And every time place that I went, I made the crowd go wild It wasn't hard for me to do it, there was really nothing to it And not once did I hear someone say, "Yo Young MC, ya blew it" So listen party people I got something to say I guess I'm just like Burger King, because you have it your way You know it makes me delighted to think that I'm a rhymin' writer So next time I have a party, I'll make sure that you're invited The jam of the year, I'll hold it right here And after all is said and done, I like to make it quite clear That I came here tonight to have some fun My name is Young MC, backwards it's MC Young [Hook 1] I let 'em know I let 'em know [Verse 2] Now, one an' one is two and two and two make four My name is Young, I rock the house, we're talkin' rhymes galore It doesn't matter who you are, who you want to be You'll never ever rock as nasty as the Young MC So now darlin', darlin' come and see my show You want a ticket then I get you one in the front row And you can bring a friend, yes, a girl perhaps And when the show is over, come sit on my lap Because you can't resist me, neither can your friend It starts in the beginnin' finishes up at the end And all these others come around and swear they're better than me When they can't even deal with the Young MC I mean they think they in command, but they're outta control They think that they're out of jail, they're only on parole They think they're walkin' on water when they're on a jet ski They think they hot on the mic, they ain't as hot as me They think they flyin' through the air when they on a plane They think they have a sound mind when they goin' insane They think they lyin' on the beach when there ain't no sand They think that they the freshest rapper, they ain't heard the man So let me tell you party people, this is how it goes I am the one you listen to, 'cause I'm the one you chose And if you think they competition, they can deal with me Here is my number, call the house, the name is Young MC [Hook 2] I let 'em know You know what I'm sayin'? I let 'em know Break it down [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] They said a boy is a boy and a girl is a girl And Young MC, he is a rapper ready to rock world I am a man with a skill of a duty to fulfill Of party goers every which without the need to get ill No need to scream and to shout, 'cause that's not what I'm about 'Cause I'm a man who's rockin' the jams, to this there is no doubt Continuing with my tale, to never flop or to fail Be good to you just like a discount at a one-day sale I'm not a criminal or hood, neither the riff or raff If every rapper was a comic, I'd be makin' you laugh If every rapper was a worker, I'd be chief of the staff And on a scale of one to ten, I am a ten and a half If every rapper was a lion, I'd be king of the beast If every rapper was a cop, I would be chief of police If every rapper was a soldier, I would be Rambo If every rapper was Hawaiian, I would be Don Ho You're a fish who's out of water, I'm a great white shark I'm a healthy burst of lightin', you're a shot in the dark I'm a law abidin' citizen, you're breakin' the laws And I'm a man who's almost perfect, you're filled with flaws This is not exaggeration, this is straight up truth Rap is to me what good sex is to Dr. Ruth Rap is just like sex 'cause I'm aimin' to please But when you're listenin' to my rhyme, you'll never catch a disease Now like a man once said, when you're slow ya blow To prevent against this I'm always good to go Never ever frontin' moves, I'm makin' sure of stuff And when the mic is in my hand, that's when the stuff get rough 'Cause I'm a man who's on a mission and I'm not done yet 'Cause this is rougher then the roughest of the rough stuff yet I make noise like a smoke detector when there's smoke I'm good to go, so now you know the Young MC's no joke [Hook 3] I let 'em know Word 'em up, I let 'em know There it is
