Can I Get a Witness
T. L. C. Lyrics

Can you kick it like I kick it when I kick this,
Do you have the same level of skill as me when I perform this?

Can I get a witness? (Yes you can!)
Can someone verify my abilities?

New jacks better back up, before they get smacked up
Newcomers should be careful before they get taken down.

By the are-you-N-D-M-see (that's where it's at cuz)
By the famed NY neighborhood, that's where the best come from.

Known as the tough cats, kickin' tough rough raps
Our group is known for producing intense, hard-hitting lyrics.

In jeans, leather jackets, my Adidas and gangster hats
Our tough image is reflected in our fashion.

I'm tired of brothers tryin to front like they don't hear me though
I'm fed up with people pretending not to notice my talent.

Knowin' if it wasn't for me, they wouldn't be able
They owe their success to me.

Cause I'm the man with the hand that rocked the cradle, uhh
I'm the one who started it all.

A lot of punk for the chunk baby that's a bet
We have a lot of fight left in us.

Album number seven and we still ain't finished yet
We have plenty more to offer.

I didn't get old, I got better at the craft
I've honed my skills over time.

Sat back and watched you try to kick it but you made us laugh
We find your attempts at emulation amusing.

So get back, you already had your chance to dance
You've already had your opportunity to prove yourself.

You proved you had no waist to fit in this man's pants
You're not cut out for this line of work.

Word to God, I'm back fo' sho'
I'm definitely back, you can count on it.

Hollis Queens gettin' wreck so act like you know
My hometown is producing great talent, recognize it.

As I spit this and get this out of my throat
As I deliver these lyrics of mine.

I need a witness to get with this, take notes
I'm looking for someone to confirm and heed my message.

Great quotes like boats float flowin' so dope
My lyrics are powerful and memorable.

Never givin' up hope, nope, know what I wrote
I stay hopeful and determined, and remember my own words.

I'ma saver spectator educator entertainer
I'm multi-talented, offering a range of skills.

You want to ask me, can't be now or later
If you have questions for me, ask me now.

I'm a rough rugged person, been that way from the start
I've always represented a tough image.

Darryl Mack got the knack to put the H in heart
I know how to touch people's hearts with music.

(And it ain't no fun, to step to D and Run
It's not wise to challenge me and my colleague.

But if you want to step up, step up and get that ass - done)
But if you're feeling brave, we'll take you down.

A reporter with recorder was recordin' the slaughter
Our recent music has been the talk of the town.

As I'm peepin' 'cross the border leapin' water keepin' order
I'm surveying my surrounding, keeping things in check.

Lit it up like a spliff, get a whiff of this hit
My music is like a strong joint, take a listen.

Cause I flick em like bits, and I bust 'em like zits
I dismiss weak competition easily.

Dippin' down to grip this microphone I rip this
I pick up the mic and deliver great lyrics.

I'm glad not sad I flipped this, now can I get a witness
I'm feeling positive about this music, who else agrees?

Can I get a witness, can I hit a, never been ?? fitness
Can someone verify my skills, even if I've never been the fittest?

Don't play like I'm bitter, when you come with your best
Don't think I'm holding a grudge, even when you give me your all.

And I make a suggestion save it David with your bull
Don't bother with your immature behavior, David.

Cause you're full of congestion
You're holding yourself back with poor attitude.

Soft? Never me, never get more hard
I'll always present myself as tough, I won't back down.

The King of Kings, Lord of Lords, is the one Lord God
God is the ultimate authority.

Can I can I get a witness ?? ?? next
Can someone else verify this when I perform next?

To my God, DJ Run and I kick it
I dedicate my talents to God and my colleague.

Suckers suckers suckers
People who are weaker than me.

Suckers get flipped when I start to flip
I can easily bring down these weak opponents.

Slip in a clip when they die I dip
I use a gun to take down my opponents, and don't stick around.

Still spray a gun, see how DJ Run
I'm violent and enjoy weapons, watch how DJ Run handles things too.

Leave a sucker stunned, gettin' ill to the drum
I astonish others with my skills, and work hard on making music.

Mic check and I wreck and I'm second to none
I have total confidence in my skills, no one is as good as me.

Accept it don't regret it I expect to get dumb
I have no regrets, and aim to get even better.

So don't you forget this, we'll put you on the hit list
Don't forget that we can take you down.

To stick ya stick ya wicked wickedest can I get a witness
We'll bring punishment upon the strongest offenders. Who agrees?
