Bad To The Bone
Kool G Rap Lyrics

I'm bad to the bone with a style like Al Capone
I have a tough and dangerous persona like the infamous gangster Al Capone.

I'ma smile while I give you the dial tone
I'll be happy to hang up on you without a second thought.

Eatin' shrimp and girls I be pimpin'
I enjoy eating fancy food and being with beautiful women that I control like a pimp.

Walk like I'm limpin' this brother ain't simpin'
I may look like I'm struggling, but I'm not a weak or foolish man.

Not to mention I'm winner of Mack Daddy conventions
I am successful and respected in the world of being a stylish and seductive man.

I get a lot of attention
People notice me and give me respect or admiration.

Sleepin' in sheets that's made of satin
I live comfortably and luxuriously, even down to my bedsheets.

With one of my money makin' honies she's mixed Spanish and Latin
I am romantically involved with a beautiful and exotic woman who is of mixed heritage.

She's a fly type of swinger
My girlfriend is stylish and attractive to other people.

Twenty carats on her fingers, minks on every coat hanger
My girlfriend has expensive jewelry and wears luxurious fur coats.

In a high rise, made for only fly guys
I live in a fancy and exclusive apartment building that is only for fashionable men like myself.

With a size that attracts the ladies eyes
I am physically appealing and attractive to women.

Keepin' the stash and the cash flow
I am saving and protecting my money and income.

Profile's kept low, more dough than Barry Manilow
I keep a low profile, but I have more money and success than the famous musician Barry Manilow.

Fly cars, I got diamonds in jelly jars
I drive expensive cars and even store diamonds in jars, showing my wealth and extravagance.

To earn respect, collectin' bar fight scars
I gain respect from others by fighting and winning dangerous bar fights.

Slick talkin' with a chick when I'm walkin
I am smoothly and skillfully flirting with a woman while I walk.

Midnight stalkin', all the suckers be hawkin'
I am walking around at night attractively, while other men watch with envy and admiration.

And I max while you be waxin' your Cadillacs
I am living luxuriously and prospering, while others are not as successful and may be working hard to maintain their cars.

Smooth as a fax, but I can cut you like an axe
I may appear calm and smooth, but I am also dangerous and can easily harm others.

Big spender, cause I'm a winner like Bruce Jenner
I am spending money frivolously and excessively because I am as successful and glamorous as the famous athlete Bruce Jenner.

I burn all beginners and let em simmer like a TV dinner

Give me a clever girl and I'll outfox her
I am so charming and smart that I can outwit even a clever woman.

The man that rocks her in pure silk boxers
I am the man who seduces her even while wearing luxurious silk boxers.

So what you want honey a chump or a champ?
Do you want a foolish and weak man or a strong and successful champion like myself?

Visa or food stamps, Latins or lamps?
