Suckers - Kool Moe Dee

I’m not your average rapper so I can’t half step

I gotta come off right, I got a Moe Dee rep

And I’ma live up to it, cause y’all can’t do it

Other rappers have tried… but they blew it

There’s a heavy demand for me

'Cause I am the man you see

On stage, and front page, newspapers and TV

Radio stations don’t play me enough

But it makes no difference 'cause I’m so rough (I'm tough)

Either way you look at it, rappers wish that they had it

As good as Moe Dee that’s why they try to be me

And what they’ve become is a facsimile​

Now people wanna see me, rappers wanna beat me

Making new comparisons, so why don’t y’all just leave me alone

'Cause I own the microphone

And when it comes to rhymes, I’m bad to the bone

Suckers!

Now I ask you who’s the best and everybody replied

But if you guess I’m not the best you’re just as wrong as apartheid

Double up thoughts, think twice

But not about me bein' Kool 'cause I’m ice without a doubt

So predictable it’s a shame

Although you can’t predict the rhyme you can predict the aim

And before the rhyme is anywhere near through

You, just like the whole world, knew

That I’d rock, no shocks

Some rappers will jock, the way I rock

'Cause it’s real and nothing phony

I can send the crowd into pandemonium

Lyrically equipped so I can be choosy

and deadly just like an Uzi

I can be strapped just from rapped

Because it’s super-high powered, not like you saps

Suckers!

It’s been proven, history is made

The world gathered around to give me a parade

Records were set, dollars were bet

On me to emerge victorious, no sweat

Hustle or crime nor search to find

Ideas and words to put in a rhyme

tell it by me but not for sale

Although there is a black market for biters, but to no avail

Some can’t read it, the rest can’t say it

You have no choice but to love it and play it

Rewrite it and discreetly bite it

Although you don’t want to, you can’t fight it

'Cause it’s kinda like going to school fool

And since I am the teacher I make the rules

You’re under my control and you’re starting to bore me

I don’t say it the best no more, you say it for me

Suckers!

You silly boys with your plastic toy

Rhymes sometimes really annoy

A vet like me 'cause y’all are rookie

When I was teaching rap class you played hooky

Now your records are fake from the dollars you make

It’s hidden well like icing hides a no good cake

Since you’re the cake, once the people get a taste

Of what you’re really worth they’ll see you were a waste

But the, the newspaper types your name in big letters

But I’ll still fight any of you rappers, and I mean any

In actuality it ain’t but so many

That I could consider, a spot hitter

You rhyme like babies and I am the sitter

Why don’t you children play a man’s game?

When they talk about the best, believe me your name

Is not ever mentioned, 'cause I get the attention

For being the baddest since the invention

Of rhyming on the microphone, alone

I own the get off my in the danger zone

You speak so weak your rhymes are

You try to freak and so you have to sneak

And say you’re better, like a sucker instead of

Tellin' the truth, you’d rather let a

Knucklehead who’s never heard a real rhyme

Think that you’re great, the blind leading the blind

Now the young hip-hoppers don’t know what it’s about

'Cause when rappers was real they wasn’t hanging out

Now they see you phony, a pony

Sneaker-wearing, one and only

Dark-skinned in leather, all of y’all together

Could team on up and battle me, y’all could never

Ever amount to what I am

'Cause I’m Kool Moe Dee, better known as the man

No matter how you suckers feel

I am the best, 'cause I’m for real

Suckers!

Suckers!
