Round & Round
D. Brown Lyrics

"Gather round!" Gather round and check the flow!
Come listen to my rap and appreciate my talent!

Now the ultraviolet seems to have me slippin'
I'm experiencing some kind of drug-induced hallucination.

Well I'm on guard son, there'll be no ass whippings
I'm being cautious and ready to defend myself.

Behind my back, I know MC's be tripping
Other rappers might talk behind my back or try to sabotage me.

Some say "What's up?" Some stick out their bottom lip and
Some people greet me positively while others give me a sour face.

I motivate, spark the L then skate
I inspire and energize myself before leaving the scene.

There's no debate, I put the funk on your plate
It's indisputable that I bring the funky beats and rhymes to the table.

So get it straight, it's the lyrical mechanic
I am an expert in making rhymes and music.

I cause a panic, of depression that's manic
My music can cause a frenzied and ecstatic reaction.

Harder than granite, I revolve like the planet
My style is unbreakable and I constantly evolve and improve.

And got the game to leave the chicken heads enchanted
I have the skills to captivate and entertain my fans.

Word to Janet, and her brother Jackie
I acknowledge the famous Jackson siblings as inspirations.

I put the squeeze on mommies like Pataki
I enjoy seducing women and making them feel attracted to me.

"Gather round!" Gather round and check the flow!
Listen to me some more because I have more to say!

Now, I dehydrate your body just like a Heineken
I can make you thirsty and dehydrated like a dry beer.

Tip-toe through your tulips like Tiny Tim
I sneak around and evade obstacles like the fictional character Tiny Tim.

Back up son, it's Diamond D and his mighty men
I have a group of strong and capable collaborators with me.

You want to see a show? Call Chris Lighty and
If you want to book me for a show, contact my agent Chris Lighty.

I'll come to your town, tear the walls down
I can perform a energetic and intense show wherever I go.

Pound for pound I gets down for my crown
I'm dedicated and relentless in maintaining my status as a respected rapper.

I gets busy, you can ask my nigga Wizzy
I stay active and productive, as my friend Wizzy can confirm.

I'm slicker than that fox found on Thin Lizzy
I'm very cunning and clever like the fox on the band's album cover.

You wonder "Is he, slacking?" But I'm a mack and
You might think I'm lazy or not working hard, but I'm actually a skilled seducer.

I'm always packing, cause niggas don't know how to act and
I carry a weapon as a precaution, since some people can be unpredictable and violent.

They want to riff, made because I got the gift
Some people envy my talents and skills.

Enjoying a spliff, on 125th
I'm smoking marijuana on 125th street, a busy commercial and residential area in Harlem.

I roll on your set like a brand new Perelli
I confidently and smoothly enter your territory, like a luxury car tire on the road.

Got more charisma than Arthur Fonzarelli
I have a charming and charismatic personality, like the famous TV character Fonzie.

Got a belly, but that don't slow me down in a telly
I might be overweight, but it doesn't affect my performance in bed.

Put it on ya like the Claw did Jim Kelly
I can sexually satisfy you like a skilled performer or athlete.

"Gather round!" Gather round and check the flow!
Pay attention to me again for another impressive round of rhymes and beats!

To all my foes you can just keep hushin'
I don't want to hear any negative comments or disses from my enemies.

The stage ain't the place you want to be rushin'
Don't try to mess with me or the situation when I'm performing onstage.

'Cause there'll take place a spontaneous combustion
Because I'm so talented and intense, I might trigger a sudden burst of energy and heat in the audience.

Life's a game of chess and I play like a Russian
I approach life strategically and cleverly, like a skilled player in a Russian chess match.

I mean to win, pass me the gin and a pen
I'm determined to be victorious, give me some alcohol and a writing tool.

And on a skin, I spend no more than a Benjamin
I'm not willing to pay more than $100 for sexual services.

Franklin, and I'm off to the bank and
After earning money from my music, I go to the bank to deposit it.

I roll with a crew that passes out the most spankings
I have a strong and aggressive group of friends who punish their enemies severely.

This side of the Mason Dixon
In this area, below the northern boundary of the former US slave states.

I bought your tape and I erased it like Nixon
I disliked your music so much that I erased it from my cassette tape, like Nixon's secret recordings.

In Watergate, mom don't blame me if your daughter's late
If your daughter is pregnant or late for school or work, don't accuse me of being responsible.

Cause she was hooking, one of my niggas saw the bate
She was probably working as a sex worker, as one of my friends confirmed.

I bob and weave like Julio Chavez
I can dodge and avoid obstacles like the famous boxer Julio Cesar Chavez.

Vacate in San Juan or Nisna Budez?
Should I take a vacation in a Puerto Rican city or a European one?

Trying to get these beaches, I cut off the dreads
I'm trying to look more presentable and less like a stereotypical Rasta on the beach.

Make MC's run like they just seen the Feds
I can intimidate and scare other rappers so much that they run away like they've just seen the FBI.

Live life for '96 that's my motto
I'm committed to enjoying life and making the most of it in 1996.

Look out for my peeps like Alphonse D'Amato
I care about my friends and associates, like the New York politician D'Amato.

Witty and shifty describes my sticcatto
My style of rhyming is clever and unpredictable, like a fast-paced staccato rhythm.

Peace dun, the lyrical desperado
Goodbye my friend, remember me as a talented and daring rapper.
