[Heavy D]
Tic-tac-toe'n, three-in-a-row'n
Sit back, relax, listen to a pro and
As I start goin, blowin, flowin, and showin
MCs' - that I am the capital H-E-A-V-Y-Deez'n
This is my yard, better yet my precinct
No discontent cause I'm all about pleasin
Ladies come to me because, they love squeezin
If you don't see me, I'm probably skeezin!
Eaaaaaaa-zy does it on the smooth tip
As I get loose, kinda like I say rip this
Format of my rap, listen to direction
Six foot three, wit a vanilla complexion
Dance - shake, rock, roll
Heav is in the house I got total, control
I'mma inject, respect, collect a fat check
Heav is in effect - but you ain't heard nuttin yet!
[Heavy D]
How could I explain to ya...the Heav-mania
Tryna figure a way to make it simple and plain to ya
Hmmmm, I'm the Heavster, a rap register
That flows with cash so fast you can't measure the
Intent of content that I rep-re-sent
The format of my rap from past to present tense
Girls they adore me, they scream for me
Fellas get jealous cause the ladies won't ignore me
Ov-er-weight Lo-ver MC
H-E-A-V-Y-D, rap champion
Ask Nick and Damian
Joe Black, Pete Rock, Billy Bump and they'll explain to ya
Who is the greatest, the biggest, the baddest! (baddest!)
They won't front, they know the Heavy D status
My favorite, old time group, hmmm, Gladys
Knight and The Pips and, love "Flip" Wilson
The Great Houdini was my, favorite magician
Sit back relax, cause Heav is on a mission
I'mma inject, di-tect, di-lect, disect, direct
Heav is in effect - but you ain't heard nuttin yet!
[Heavy D]
Aiyyo back up, don't even press up, it's time to set up
The staaage, and I won't let up, 'til y'all get up
Or respect whet we inject, so come correct
Heavy D's in effect (fect) - but you ain't heard nuttin yet!
Wreaka, no half-stepper, rhyme veteran
Ripper, Moet sipper, cause I'm better in
This hand, even that and, a matter of fact
You wanna know the place to be, the place to be is where Heavy's at
I soar without a fall, cause I'm courageously standing
I'm in demand, and on the stage I be better
With Eddie F., he's right back at me
The Boyz are to the left and the right, you know we gotta be
Correct as we expect, you to accept our subject
That we direct, to all turtleneck rappers who seem upset
Heavy D's in ef-FECT (FECT) - but you ain't heard nuttin yet!
