Fat Rat
Grand Puba Lyrics

Over like a fat RAAAT
I'm succeeding greatly and can't be stopped, like a big, fat rat taking over.

You can't deny it
My success is undeniable and there's no use in trying to argue with it.

so never stop
I won't ever stop my rise to the top.

Here I go with the new style such a versatile child
I'm introducing a new style, one that's versatile and adaptable.

Hons crack a smile as the dancers hit the tile
The women are happy and the dancers are hitting the floor.

General like Custer spread skins like mustard
I'm commanding and influential, with my music spreading like condiments.

Brothers try to copy but they shit sound busted or should I say chopped brothers need to stop
Other artists are copying my style but failing, they need to stop and create their own unique sound.

Once Puba shits you know the joint is grit
When I perform, the place becomes lively and energetic.

More followers than Jehovah, call me Casanova
I have a large following and many women are attracted to me, like the historical figure Casanova.

Used to drive a Nova, but now I push a Rover
I used to have a cheap car but now I drive a luxury vehicle.

Pumpin nuff hits, scoopin mad chicks
I'm making lots of popular songs and attracting lots of women.

A golden brown complexion and you won't find a zit
I have a clear complexion.

I take a sip of my brew, before the night is through
I enjoy drinking alcohol during my performances.

Honies askin Pu', "Can you woo woo woo?"
Women are asking me if I can woo them and make them feel special.

Yes I got the skills that'll always pay the bills
I have the talent to make a lot of money.

"My, my, my," like Johnny Gill
I'm smooth and charming like the singer Johnny Gill.

Quick to knock the block baby all around the clock
I'm quick to impress and satisfy women in bed.

Ticky-ticky-tock, ticky-ticky-tock
The clock is ticking and time is running out.

So don't try to play the Puba (cause ain't nothin happenin)
Don't try to mess with me because you'll fail.

Don't even waste your time (cause ain't nothin happenin)
It's not worth your time to try and compete with me.

Step left with that garbage (cause ain't nothin happenin)
Take your poor quality music somewhere else because you won't be successful here.

You know why black? (Why is that?) Bust it, cause I get
I'm successful because I have the talent and drive to succeed.

Follow me now see
Come with me and I'll show you something special.

Ooh la la la, me say take to dis guy on de natural high
I'm offering a pleasurable and natural experience.

I caught wreck in a sec with a girl that I met at this discotheque, now let me recollect
I had a great time with a woman I met at a club.

Mmm, the night was lovely, oh so lovely She still thinks of me
The night was great and the woman still remembers me fondly.

Now I keep my hair peasy, mo' fine and greasy
I keep my hair greasy and styled perfectly.

Never hit the skins if the skins look sleazy
I won't sleep with someone who appears unclean or promiscuous.

Sweetheart, here goes a hint, you better take a mint cause I can smell the scent
If you want to get with me, you need to freshen your breath.

Now if I smoked a bag of sess, I still wouldn't mess with a girl in a tight dress, cause a tight dress just won't impress, but you can try your best and it still won't matter
Even if I was high, I wouldn't be attracted to women just because of how they dress. It's about personality and character.

Game for a quickie, I can make a sticky Hold on the hickie, cause next week it's Vicky
I'm ready for a quick sexual encounter, but I won't leave a mark because I have another woman lined up for next week.

Rhyme style fat, the God'll break a back
My style of music is impressive, and I have the power to impress and dominate other artists.

of a new jack, or old jack, who wants to sweat the sac Time for the papes so you better drink some coffee
I'm ready to earn money and become successful, so you should prepare yourself for a long day of work.

Hon thinks she knows me, but bitch back up off me
Women think they know me, but they need to step back.

Bust it I'ma drop one more before I travel like sound
Before I go, I'll share one more piece of music.

Brothers say Puba, I'm happy that you makin it
Other artists are congratulating me on my success.

Then turn around and tell a female some other shit
But then they're being untruthful to women.

Sincere, you bear my witness (True indeed)
The truth is being witnessed by a trustworthy person.

A nobody in somebody's business
Someone who isn't important interfering in others' affairs.

Mind your own neck, and go collect your Mickey D's check
Worry about your own career and don't interfere with mine.

But when you see me give me nuff respect
When you see me, show me respect.

Sincere Allah how do you think I should take it? (Let's slide them niggaz down Lincoln butt naked) Bust it!
What should I do in response to this issue? (Let's teach them a lesson in a violent and humiliating manner) Let's do it!

I'm not the Captain or the Skipper, got it good behind the zipper
I'm not trying to be in charge, I'm just enjoying my sexual prowess.

Now if honey wants to flip you know the God'll have to flip her
If a woman wants to cause drama, I'll have to respond in kind.

I won't smack it but I'll flip it and I'll rub it down
I won't hit a woman, but I'll respond confidently and physically.

Catch a movie and a dinner and then I'm back uptown
I'm going out to enjoy myself and then returning to my home neighborhood.

I rock beats on the daily really when I'm in the mood
I make music every day when I feel like it.

Attitude never screwed, I only eat the righteous food so
My attitude is always positive, and I only consume healthy foods.

cut on the amp and I can show you who's the champ
Turn up the volume and I'll show you my talent and superiority.

The man who leaves with all the scamps cause I gets over
I'm able to attract lots of promiscuous women because of my talent and success.

Chorus to fade
Repeat the chorus as the song fades out.
