Don't Sleep on It - Rob Base/DJ EZ Rock[00:00:00]
Written by:Robert Giny[00:00:00]
Emcees, tryin' ta play post[00:00:02]
Play me up close, brag and boast[00:00:04]
You know[00:00:06]
Things like that make me weary[00:00:06]
But I never let a rapper get near me cuz[00:00:08]
I'm Rob Base, pick up the pace[00:00:11]
It takes more than beats to rock this place[00:00:13]
It takes more than rhymes to rock this time[00:00:15]
Rhyme for rhyme, the Base design[00:00:18]
M.C.'s get mad, cuz I'm blowin' up[00:00:20]
To every battle, the Base keeps showin' up[00:00:22]
A fast tempo, a-with a hook[00:00:24]
Don't judge a book by the way that the cover look[00:00:26]
Cuz I'm mean, reign supreme[00:00:28]
Wrote my first rhyme at the age of fifteen[00:00:30]
I'm like a match, when struck I burn[00:00:33]
Not concerned cuz I'm sure that you won't learn[00:00:35]
Now git up, and let's start[00:00:37]
I wanna see which sucka got heart[00:00:39]
I get fresh as I get older[00:00:41]
Every time I rock I get bolder[00:00:44]
So don't sleep, and say I'm wack[00:00:46]
Cuz if you do you get backslap (backslap)[00:00:48]
If it's not in your vision[00:00:50]
Don't sleep on it[00:00:52]
Don't sleep on it[00:00:53]
Don't make a no decision[00:00:54]
Turn it up (On the bass right now)[00:00:57]
Drop your ego, and let me go[00:00:59]
And just show what I know cuz I'm on the go[00:01:01]
I rock smooth, bust a move, hit me[00:01:03]
And the way I perform, you can't forget me[00:01:05]
Clear off the smoke, this ain't a joke[00:01:07]
The new kid on the block is like dope[00:01:09]
Been here for a while, been all punishment[00:01:11]
But now I'm on (I'm on)[00:01:14]
So let's start it[00:01:16]
No I'm not retarded, or either crazy[00:01:16]
I work hard, I'm not lazy[00:01:18]
Rappers don't faze me, or eith-amaze me[00:01:21]
Or either come up close and just graze me[00:01:23]
Coolin', never be a fool, and[00:01:25]
Give me just a little more time I be ruling[00:01:26]
Tell it to the mack, cuz I'm on wax[00:01:29]
But should I pay tac, or should I just act[00:01:31]
To get a new job, yes, time is what I'm pressed for[00:01:33]
Every time I perform you want more so[00:01:36]
If it's not in your vision[00:01:38]
Don't sleep on it[00:01:40]
Don't sleep on it[00:01:41]
Don't make a no decision[00:01:42]
Turn it up (On the bass right now)[00:01:44]
Ah, break it down, to get the dope sound[00:01:47]
Then hang around with the posse from Uptown[00:01:49]
On the Ave, they get cash[00:01:51]
But I leave it alone cuz I'm a smash[00:01:53]
On the mic, I think differently, a-from another[00:01:55]
Or other MC who[00:01:58]
Intervene, try to just rip up the Rob on the sneak tip[00:01:59]
I get mad, they get sad, or either rag the had cuz[00:02:04]
I'm that bad[00:02:08]
I'm not frontin', cuz this is my theory[00:02:09]
You don't believe me, so just hear me[00:02:11]
I rock harder, I rock longer[00:02:13]
I do this cuz I gotta get stronger[00:02:15]
A lotta rappers rhyme harder, and meaner[00:02:17]
But I rhyme with the sound that's cleaner[00:02:19]
I ain't nothing, that's what they say[00:02:21]
Well OK if they wanna play that way[00:02:24]
Cuz I'm Rob buttkickin' Base[00:02:26]
What rapper's next to be erased[00:02:28]
On my list, I'm not known to diss[00:02:30]
But I'll do it, so don't sleep on this, come on[00:02:32]
If it's not in your vision[00:02:35]
Don't sleep on it[00:02:37]
Don't sleep on it[00:02:38]
Don't make a no decision[00:02:39]
Turn it up (On the bass right now)[00:02:41]
Hit it, admit it, you did it, you can't fit it[00:02:43]
So forget it cuz I know you ain't wit' it[00:02:45]
In the centre, I didn't rent her[00:02:48]
Sat 'cha butt in the chair, got a splintuh[00:02:50]
Back in the days, amazed by the rap phrase[00:02:52]
Rap today, to me it don't faze me[00:02:54]
I'm not another M.C.[00:02:57]
Or angry by the way you speak to me[00:02:58]
Jealousy, what makes you wanna battle me[00:03:01]
Dope beats, what makes you wanna idol me[00:03:03]
It ain't nothin' to me or E-Z[00:03:05]
Cuz I'm the R, the O, the B, and he's E-Z[00:03:07]
I bust a fee wherever it be, you see[00:03:09]
He or me, the E, the Z, the A, the B[00:03:11]
Alphabet's from A to Z, you see[00:03:14]
I'm not tryin' to confuse your mind[00:03:16]
I'm just tryin' to pump this plain old fresh rhyme[00:03:17]
I stay calm, rap like a pro[00:03:20]
I know you know, so let's go, come on[00:03:22]
If it's not in your vision[00:03:25]
Don't sleep on it[00:03:27]
Don't sleep on it[00:03:28]
Don't make a no decision[00:03:29]
Turn it up (On the bass right now)[00:03:31]
Now E-Z Rock, you remember how we did it before[00:03:33]
I want you to do it one more time, for you mind[00:03:35]
1-2-3, give it to 'em[00:03:38]
If it's not[00:03:40]
Hurry up[00:03:42]
Don't sleep on it, come on[00:03:43]
If it's not[00:03:44]
Hurry up[00:03:46]
Don't sleep on it, come on[00:03:47]
If it's not[00:03:49]
Hurry up[00:03:51]
Don't sleep on it, come on[00:03:51]
If it's not[00:03:53]
Hurry up[00:03:55]
Don't sleep on it, come on[00:03:56]
If it's not[00:03:57]
Hurry up[00:03:59]
Don't sleep[00:04:00]
