[Intro:]

People!! It feels so good to be back.

Ladies and gentleman, introducing the new and improved you know who

[Verse 1:]

Never been the type to bend or budge

The wrong button to push,

No friend of Bush

I'm the centerpiece, your the Maltese.

I am a pittbull off his leash,

All this peace talk can cease.

All these people I had to leave in limbo,

I'm back now,

I've come to release this info

I'll be brief and let me just keep shit simple.

Can-a-bitch don't want no beef with Slim

Noooo!

Not even on my radar,

So won't you please jump off my dick

Lay off and stay off,

And follow me as I put these crayons to chaos from seance to seance,

Aw-a-aw-ch-a-aw

[Chorus X2:]

Y'all C'mon now,

Let's all get on down,

Let's do-si-do now,

We gon' have a good ol' time.

Don't be scared, cus there ain't nuttin' to worry 'bout,

Let your hair down,

And square dance with me!

[Verse 2:]

Let your hair down to the track,

Yeah kick on back.

Boo!

The boogies monster of rap,

Yeah the man's back

With a plan to ambush this Bush administration,

Mush the Senate's face in and push this generation,

Of kids to stand and fight for the right to say something you might not like,

This white hot light,

That i'm under,

No wonder,

I look so sunburnt,

Oh no,

I won't leave no stone unturned,

Oh no i won't leave,

Wont go nowhere,

Do-si-do,

Oh, yo, ho, hello there

Oh yeah don't think I won't go there,

Go to the Beirut and do a show there

Yah you laugh till your muthafuckin' ass gets drafted,

While you're at band camp thinkin' the crap can't happen,

Till you fuck around,

Get an anthrax napkin,

Inside a package wrapped in saran Wrap wrapping,

Open the plastic and then you stand back gasping,

Fuckin' assassins hijackin' Amtracks crashin,

All this terror America demands action,

Next thing you know you've got Uncle Sam's ass askin'

To join the army or what you'll do for there Navy.

You just a baby,

Gettin' recruited at eighteen,

You're on a plane now,

Eatin their food and their baked beans.

I'm 28 ,

They gon take you 'fore they take me

Crazy insane or insane crazy

When i say Hussien you say Shady,

My views aint changed still Inhumane,

Wait,

Arraigned two days late,

The date's today,

Hang me!

[Chorus X2:]

[Verse 3:]

Nothin' moves me more than a groove the soothes me,

Nothin'soothes me more than a groove

that boosts me,

Nothin' boosts me more,

Or suits me beautifully,

There's nothin' you can do to me,

Stab me,

Shoot me,

Physcotic,

Hypnotic, product I got the antibotic.

Ain't nobody hotter and so on and yada yada

God i talk alot of hem-de-lay-la-la-la,

oochie walla um da dah da dah da but you gotta gotta,

Keep movin',

There's more music to make,

Keep makin' new shit,

Produce hits to break

the monotony,

What's gotten into me

Drug's, rock and Hennessey,

Thug like I'm 'Pac on my enemies,

On your knees,

Got you under seige,

Somebody you would give a lung to be

hun-ga-ry,

Like a fuckin' younger me,

Fuck the fee,

I can get you jumped for free,

Yah buddy,

Laugh it's funny,

I have the money to have you killed by somebody who has nothing,

I'm past bluffing,

Pass the K-Y,

Let's get ready for some intense,

erious ass fucking!

[Chorus X2]

[Outro:]

Dr. Dre., wants to square with me,

Nasty Nas, wants to square dance with me,

X to the Z, wants to square dance with me,

Busta Rhymes, wants to square dance with me,

Cana-bitch won't square dance with me,

Fan-a-bitch, won't square dance with me,

Canada-bis, don't want no parts of me,

Dirty Dozen wants to square dance with you-----YEE-HAW!!!
