[Verse 1: Coolio]
I'm gettin' bunions from all the disrespectful sisters in my face
I give love, but when push come to shove
I'm 'posed to solo, diggin' me out the ditch
(Hey, hey, Cool, give me some chips, fool) Ain't that a bitch?
Ain't no cash just fallin' out the sky, you hella high
But why, oh, why did she touch the tie?
But I slide on full with a gangsta limp
Morris couldn't see this pimp, I'm backslappin' simps
True, I be in the cut, but you notice me
Try to throw with me, now you wanna roll with me, fate
I'll lead you left instead of right, tonight's the night
So let's get the situation tight
I hear 'em tryin' to playa hate me on the under
My mama said, "Never let a sucker take you asunder"
Don't be gettin' outta line where it concerns mine
It might be your time, but it's my rhyme

[Chorus: Coolio & Malika]
Can I get down one time
To make the people say yeah and nobody won't care?
Can I get down one time
Without all the criticism and media up in my business?
Can I get down one time
And release my rhyme and speak my mind?
Can I get down one time?
Can I get down one time?
[Verse 2: Malika]
I lit my vigil with a smile like Jack 'cause I'm back
You picturin' all them chips in stacks
I got love, though, don't be no stank ho
I'm not fallin' for the gank, no, God I thank, though
In the means, it's your decision
The gift I been givin' got you in the life I'm livin'
Watchin' 'em say-sayin' like Paul and Mike
Your game ain't right, you be slippin' every night
I'm hoverin' up in the nest with the claws out
'Cause he had his paws out and it caused doubt
He's out, now it's in with the new
In with the true, you know how these Thevz do

[Chorus: Coolio & Malika]
Can I get down one time
To make the people say yeah and nobody won't care?
Can I get down one time
Without all the criticism and media up in my business?
Can I get down one time
And release my rhyme and speak my mind?
Can I get down one time?
Can I get down one time?

[Verse 3: Malika]
I can't do what I wanna how I wanna, this shit is drama
So what is it you want, huh?
We tryin' to make it to the tizzy, I'll be a highly busy
Bee, the gizz-ee through the frizzy, is we
Tryin' to have somethin'? We goin' broke frontin'
'Cause nothin' leaves nothin' and nothin' means we head bumpin'
Pumpin', no pumpkin if his mind's unstable
Twistin' me a fable, somethin' sweet like Sable
[Verse 4: Coolio]
You shoulda reached out and grabbed it and got his pay nice
Jealousy got him dropped with his neck sliced
Liquor be revealin' the homie's true feelings
So I'll be willin' to turn into a villain
Then if you're still with me, you got to chill with me
Bustin' lyrics with a skill when they deal with me
Never senseless, thank you for your business
And I got more rhymes than L.A. Times got headlines

[Chorus: Coolio & Malika]
Can I get down one time
To make the people say yeah and nobody won't care?
Can I get down one time
Without all the criticism and media up in my business?
Can I get down one time
And release my rhyme and speak my mind?
Can I get down one time?
Can I get down one time?
Can I get down one time
To make the people say yeah and nobody won't care?
Can I get down one time
Without all the criticism and media up in my business?
Can I get down one time
And release my rhyme and speak my mind?
Can I get down one time?
Can I get down one time?
Can I get down one time
To make the people say yeah and nobody won't care?
Can I get down one time
Without all the criticism and media up in my business?
Can I get down one time
And release my rhyme and speak my mind?
Can I get down one time?
Can I get down one time?
[Outro]
Can I get down one time
To make the people say yeah and nobody won't care?
Can I get down one time
Without all the criticism and media up in my business?
Can I get down one time
And release my rhyme and speak my mind?
Can I get down one time?
