The Godfather
The Godfather Lyrics

I'm the product of a violent society
I was raised in a society known for its violence

But I'm not the violent kind
Despite my background, I do not resort to violence

I started out three years ago
Three years ago, I began my career as a mob enforcer

As an enforcer for the mob
My job was to enforce the mob's rules and regulations

Funky rappin' beats are all we pushed
Our main focus was on producing funky rap beats

Hearts are all we robbed
Although we did not rob people of their possessions, we did steal their hearts

And with my posse I built a rep
I established a reputation along with my group of companions

With the ladies everywhere
My reputation with women spread rapidly

Now everywhere that I go
My reputation precedes me everywhere I go

The people stop and stare and say there goes
People recognize me and call me by the name I have earned

I'm the godfather of love
I am known for being a master of love

I'm the godfather of lust
I am also known for my ability to incite lust in others

I'm the godfather of romance
Romance is my specialty

I leave the other guys in the dust
Compared to me, other guys cannot measure up

They put me on the hit squad
I was chosen to be part of the group responsible for taking down rival gangs

For the guys who are a hit with all the girls
Our targets were those who were popular with women

And late one night
One evening, it was late

They gave me a mic
I was given a microphone

And they told me to rock their world
I was asked to give a performance that would blow everyone's minds

Well, I did just what comes natural
I performed in my usual style

And I guess that's all it took
That was all I needed to win the crowd over

Cause when it comes to romance
When it comes to love and attraction

Or a jam to make you dance
Or a song that gets you moving

Baby I wrote the book
I am an expert in both areas

Cruisin' down the boulevard
Driving down the main street

Gangster whitewalls on my wheels
My car has white-walled tires, which are popular among gangsters

I'm a cross between
I am a combination of

Your sweetest dream
The thing you desire the most

And worst nightmare
The thing you fear the most

I've got animal sex appeal
I possess a strong and irresistible sexual attraction

My recipe for sensuality
The ingredients for my sexual appeal

Is a nectar heaven sent
It is a sweet and irresistible concoction

Cause nothing says lovin'
Because nothing is more romantic

Like something from my oven
Like something that I have prepared or created

And baby it's poppin' fresh
It is brand new and exciting

All the gangsters in the house say ho!
A call to those who identify as gangsters

Ain't got time for no ho's
I have no time for promiscuous women

Or cracked out women with coke up their nose
Nor do I have time for drug addicts

If you want to be with me
If you want to pursue a relationship with me

Got to stand out from the crowd
You must be unique and different from everyone else

My love is the only addiction my lady's allowed
The only thing my partner is allowed to be addicted to is my love

'Cause I'm the godfather of love
I am the ultimate expert in all things related to love

I've fought a lot of battles
I have been in many conflicts

But don't need to use muscle
However, I do not need to use physical force

'Cause I beat them with my mind
I use my intellect to overcome my opponents

I've got the fastest tongue in the underworld
I speak quickly and persuasively

But I don't always use it to speak
However, I do not always use my gift for persuasion through words

Cause ladies my actions speak louder than words
My behavior towards women is more effective than my words
