I'm The Don Armed and dangerous With a mic I like Ordain I just Make a wish It becomes a command The rhyme family Is my fans My territory spans From New York to Hollywood the whole country's My neighborhood I extort my fans support With rhymes that taught Lessons and caught The ears of listeners They enlist in the Hip hop mob on the job Stop dissin' us No drugs at all We don't steal or rob We just get paid In the Moe Dee mob I demand fans family loyalty Tour support and record royalties Whenever a band tries to take my fans I put out a hit understand
I'm The Don Started out in parks As a hit-man killin' With the rhymes that sparks a mic Sparks of light Turns dark to light Freeze emcees And rock the mic Hit the deck You know what this is Don't nobody move And I bean biz One dumb hero Tried to step I pulled out my mic I rhymed him to death Other emcees wouldn't Put me on So I took over Now they're gone I made the connections Got paid protection Fees from MCs No late collections I take no shorts Up front on the double You ain't got it You got trouble I'll pull out my mic And a rhyme to bust Hum Another one bites the dust
With the ladies I ain't just a Don In fact I'm more Like a Don Juan Pull ladies In bunches Break my heart I roll with the punches Write 'em off like a tax No respect You ain't down Next 'Cause I'm like A hard-core Casanova Cross me once Girlfriend you're over Outta here quick as A fet no sweat Ain't no limit To the girls I get No time for games Make on mistakes Dis me you're done That's the brakes One conversation Gets my point across You don't like me It's your loss Spread the news I get rave reviews I'll make you An offer you can't refuse
The Don Takes control of the action Without question And who's askin' A takeover Now in effect A world tour To make my connect The R & B radio Family supports me We'll put a hit on On Top 40 Video families B.E.T. We'll put a hit on MTV Store reports And the billboard charts Work hand in hand With the local jocks
As hit-men-for-hire Personal hit-men Makin' the hits From the very first shipment Red and Chuck And the fans that love me Mr. Magic and my man Buggsy The hottest D.J.s in every town is down A sucker emcee In a second I'll dis With a flick of the wrist He'll kiss my fist Tip his hat And bend and bow Ump How ya like me now The O.K. Coral And the Wild Wild West Is recreated when Put to the test Sparks will fly like the 4th of July My name in flames Will light up the sky Other rappers go down Tryin' to confront me You know where to find me Whenever you want me But think real hard Before you step Remember I'm a vet Been runnin' the yard Ever since grade school Never played cool But always stayed cool Before you think about steppin' I already saw ya Step off boy I got somethin' for ya
