Don't Even Try It

歌詞

Yo jeff whats shakin man Whats up dude Ay man remember that girl you know when I was walking to school She used to diss me everyday (yeah) Man the record came out she called me 2 days ago Man my phone is off the hook with people asking me for tapes and free records I aint with it Word man Bust this This rap is for the people in the past who were against me Who snapped at every opportunity to diss me Put me down like I was nothing treated me like a jerk Now I'm seeing the pay off of all my hard work But now that its my records on the reel Somehow all of a sudden it's a whole new deal For those in the past who dissed me don't deny it What? Your sorry? Don't even try it Word man People are a trip Putting everybody down what's up with that Word man I gotta let em know I gotta Bust this I used to know this girl by the name of teresa I did all I could to make her release her Emotions to me but she just wouldn't do it She built up a wall and I couldn't break through it I used to walk to school everyday of the week Watching teresa walk on the other side of the street One day I finally got my heart up to speak She dissed me and dismissed me with a smack on my cheek So I bought 6 bottles of new fancy cologne But all I got from teresa was (leave me alone) Bought new clothes to wear every place But all Teresa would say was (get out of my face) So I gave up this quest for Teresa But then on the day my record was released A strange thing happened when it came on the radio Teresa broke her neck just to say (hello) I looked at her I said you must be foolish Why did you ignore me on the way to school if you were interested she said (oh I apologise) I looked deep into her dark brown eyes I said you ignored me for months on end Now all of a sudden you wanna be my friend You didn't talk before so don't talk now what be quiet What you really like me? Don't even try it Man she had a lot of nerve man (word) But man she ain't have half as much nerve as that record producer The one that dissed us man What up When I first started rapping I had one idea And it was set in my mind very vivid and clear I knew that I wanted to be a rap artist I'll give my all and work my hardest But when I took my song to a record producer He told me that I better go drink some rap juice or Something because my song was really absurd He said that it was the worst trash that he'd ever heard Yo my ego was shattered he busted my groove I could hear him cracking up as I left the room I thought my song was good but he busted my bubble The title was girls ain't nuthin but trouble Hopefully I found domeone who had faith He lifted my ego back up into place His name was dana goodman (chill) he thought the song was on track So two weeks later it was out on wax It busted up the charts like a hydrogen bomb Up up up it climbed climbed climbed People eat their words that said I couldn't achieve Now they have no choice bit to believe in me Then no sooner than my record came out That same old producer started calling my house One night he called me about half past 12 I've got some cash if you wanna sell I said you big stupid half wit idiot I told you before that my record was a hit I just laughed like some kind of kid Now don't you regret what you did I wish you'd get off my tip now that's my request See he who laughs last always laughs best Okay I'll be reasonable you wanna buy it Okay I'll sell it psyche don't even try it You know what I'll tell you sumthin I got this so hard man I'm a tell you sumthin Yo prince you remember when we first started out How we used to go to all the parties just to rock the house Word man I remember those good days well Well chill out man cause I got a story to tell About five years ago I began my quest to be the best DJ in the whole US There was a lot of DJ's striving in my spot They were putting me down every chance I got Never cut me a break on any given night They used to all look at me and say (Jeff's alright) but when your magnificent cuts were released all of that left has ceased (word) when you and I used to do our shows All the crowd would say is Ho Yeah time after time we were tearin it up While you rock the mic and I rocked the cut But now that I'm making a name for myself All those DJ's are like Yo Jeff whats up All that stuff is dead nope I ain't with it The'yll push me on the street and say (yo Jeff how bout a ticket man) to your very next show but I say no and I tell them where they can go I cant believe that they have the nerve To hop on my tip now Yeah man word Just the other day homeboy approached me on the street and said "yo jeff how bout a record for free" man the way you dissed me you better go buy it but man we're friends for real don't even try it man straight up you know how it is word maybe they'll know not to diss next time we let em know cause I aint with it aight jeff chill
