I Got You
The Funkmasters Lyrics

I'm your idol, the highest title, numero uno
I am the epitome of success and greatness, the best of the best.

I'm not a Puerto Rican, but I'm speakin so that you know
I am not necessarily from the same culture as you, but I can speak your language.

And understand I got the gift of speech
I have a natural ability to articulate my thoughts and ideas effectively.

And it's a blessin,
This talent is a gift and I appreciate it.

So listen to the lesson I preach,
Pay attention to the insights and knowledge I share.

I talk sense condensed into the form of a poem,
I express myself in a lyrically profound and concise manner.

Full of knowledge, from my toes to the top of my dome,
I possess a vast amount of knowledge and intelligence.

I'm kinda young, but my tongue speaks maturity,
Despite my youth, I am able to communicate with wisdom and insight.

I'm not a child, I don't need nothin for security
I am a grown adult who is confident and self-assured.

I get paid when my record is played, to put it short,
I earn money every time my music is played on the radio or elsewhere.

I'm outspoken,
I am not afraid to speak my mind.

My language is broken into a slang,
I use informal speech and sometimes non-standard dialects.

But it's just a dialect that I select when I hang,
I choose to use this type of speech style when I'm around certain people or in certain situations.

I play it cool, 'cause coolin is all that I'm about
I maintain a calm and collected demeanor because that's my personality and style.

Just foolin wit tha girlies, yes I'm bustin it out,
I am flirting and socializing with women in a fun and playful way.

I'm Special Ed and you can tell by the style that I use,
My name is Special Ed and my unique style reflects that.

I'm creatively superior, yo, I never lose
My creative abilities are top-notch, and I always come out on top.

I never lost 'cause I'm the boss,
I have never been defeated because I lead the way.

I never will 'cause I'm still,
I will never lose because I am always improving and evolving.

The champion, chief one, won't lose until,
I am the champion and the best at what I do, and I won't stop until I achieve my goals.

Which I won't 'cause I don't retreat,
I won't give up or back down from a challenge because that's not who I am.

I'll run you over like a truck and leave you dead in the street,
I will overpower and defeat anyone who tries to stand in my way.

You're invitin me, a titan to a battle, why?
Why would you challenge me, a powerful and successful person?

I don't need your respect 'cause I,
I am confident and secure in myself, I don't need anyone else's approval.

I'm talented, yes I'm gifted,
I have natural abilities and skills that others may not possess.

Never boosted, never shoplifted,
I have never stolen anything or cheated my way to success.

I got the cash, but money ain't nothin,
I am financially successful, but money is not the most important thing to me.

Make a million dollars every record that I cut and,
I earn a lot of money from making music.

My name is Special Ed and I'm a super-duper star
I am a very famous and successful celebrity.

Ever other week I get a brand new car,
I possess many luxury vehicles and acquire new ones frequently.

Got twenty, that's plenty yet I still want more,
I have more than enough, but I always strive for more success and wealth.

Kinda fond of honda scooters, got seventy-four
I have many scooters, and Hondas are my preferred brand.

I got the riches, to fulfill my needs
My wealth enables me to satisfy all of my basic needs and desires.

Got land in the sand of the West Indies,
I own land in a beautiful and exotic location.

Even got a little island of my very own,
I own a small island that I can call my own.

I gotta frog, a dog with a solid gold bone,
I possess exotic and luxurious pets and possessions.

An accountant to account the amount I spent
I employ someone to keep track of my finances and spending.

Gotta treaty with Tahiti 'cause I own a percent
I have a business agreement with Tahiti because I own a portion of something there.

Got gear out wear, to everyday
I have clothing and accessories for any occasion or situation.

Boutiques from France to the U.S.A.
I have access to exclusive and high-end clothing stores in different countries.

And I make all the money from the rhymes I invent,
I earn all of my income from creating and performing my music.

So it really doesn't matter, how much I spent, because, yo
I don't have to worry about my finances because my income far exceeds my expenses.

I make fresh rhymes, daily
I am constantly creating new and innovative lyrics.

You burn me, really?
You think you can outdo me? I doubt it.

Think, just blink and I made, a million rhymes
I can create an incredible amount of quality lyrics in a very short period of time.

Just imagine if you blinked, a million times
If you thought I created a lot of rhymes, just try to imagine how many times you would have to blink to miss them all.

Damn I'd be paid,
I would earn a lot of money from all of my rhymes.

I'm kinda spoiled,
I am used to getting what I want.

'Cause everything I want I got made
I have the resources to acquire anything I desire.

I wanted gear, got everything from cotton to suede
I have clothing and accessories made from many different materials.

I wanted lead, I didn't beg I just got laid
I wanted to have sex, and I didn't have to beg or plead, I just found willing partners.

My hair was growin too long, so I got me a fade
I needed a haircut, so I got a particular style of cut.

And when my dishes got dirty, I got Cascade
I use a specific brand of dishwashing detergent to clean my dishes.

When the weather was hot, I got a spot in the shade
I found a comfortable spot in the shade to escape the heat.

I'm wise because I rise to the top of my grade
I am intelligent and successful because I work hard and aim for the best.

Wanted peace on Earth, so to God I prayed
I hope for world peace and have faith that a higher power can help make it a reality.

Some kids across town thought I was afraid
Some people may doubt or challenge me, but I am not afraid of them.

They couldn't harm me,
I am not easily harmed or intimidated.

I got the army brigade,
I have powerful protection to keep me safe.

I'm not a trader,
I am loyal and honest.

If what you got is greater I'll trade,
If someone offers me something better than what I have, I am willing to exchange or upgrade.

But maybe later 'cause my waiter made potato n' alligator souflee,
I may not be interested in making a deal right now, because I am enjoying a fancy meal.

I got it made
I am successful, wealthy, and fulfilled in life.
