Can U Dig It Lyrics

Uh! Yeah! What Up? 

Verse 1: 

I know y'all wanna take me down 

I know y'all wanna see me get clowned 

I know y'all wanna take my sound 

And put a nigga like me in the lost and found 

But I refuse to fade 

I'll stay this way 

Spreadin venom in the mic till I'm old and gray 

And now niggaz wanna attack me 

Flip-flop and back me 

But fool you's a mackey 

I'll starch your ass like some khakis 

Your shit is tacky and you better play the backwoods 

Me and my crew will use your cd for a hackey sack 

Imagine that 

And it shouldn't be hard 

Cause your style ain't large 

And you wanna make all the profits with crowbars 

Can U Dig It? 

When nothin can save it 

Shock your ass like a phaser 

Burn and cut like a laser 

Amaze you, with this flava 

I run with a pack of tennis shoe playa's 

Chorus: 

Can U Dig It? *singing* Can U Dig It? 

Can U Dig It? 

Can U Dig It? *singing* Can U Dig It? 

Can U Dig It? 

Verse 2: 

The first law of age is called survival 

That's why I'm deadly on revival 

And it's vital 

To my basic instinct 

That all wack mc's become extinct 

Because we on the brink 

Or, should I say the edge 

Like a schizsophrenic with seventeen personalities walkin on a ledge 

Then you can't see the black cause it's blocked by the blue and the red 

U.F.O.'s 

And scandalous ass hoes 

Waist deep in the shit, it's still smellin' like a rose 

And I suppose 

You want me to play superstar 

And when I see you on the street act like I don't know who you are 

So, you can run back and tell that 

But I wont do that 

So, fool you can chew that 

To all sucka mc's you better beware 

I been conjurin up forces way back in my lair 

And my crew don't scare 

And we don't care 

We act, we wear, I swear 

Chorus 

Verse 3: 

It's the thrilla 

Straight outta Compton, not Manilla 

Got a chokehold on the mic like I was M.C. Gorilla 

Take this to the heart for real a 

Don't you ever try to steal a 

Like AIDS this shit came like gin a 

Might fuck up your liva 

Call me Pharoh cause I'm floatin bustas up the river 

When I deliver 

Make your sister and your grandma shiver 

Top feelin steadily rakin up the scrilla 

Kickin back in my easy chair sippin on some Henna 

?Exol? cause my whole crew is locin 

And fools always tryin to fix shit that ain't broken 

I'm down with pixies so you don't wanna see me 

So, grab everyone in your crew and disapeer like a genie 

Never said I was the best but I ain't the one to be testin 

Cross the line and in pieces you'll be destined 

Don't stop, get it, get it 

Cause I blow up the spot everytime I grab the mic and hit it, hit it 

Chorus, Repeat 3X
