Snakes Of The World Today - Slick Rick

Okay, low-lives, let’s start the war

When I’m through with you I’ll have you keelin' on the floor

You sayin' every curve has a story to tell

You say you put my son under some magical spell

You say you’ll take my lady, freak, that’s only because

When I look at the monster, I say, «He can be yours»

He’s a dog, you’re a snake

Two cobras for ya

Left over little hotties with not under desire

So, where’s the crown for the great snake conqueror?

A slap across the face to show how much of a punk you are

You wanna play?

Well, I carry a tray

Let’s call it self-defense if I blow you away

You (Snakes of the world today)

You (Snakes of the world today)

Oh, so now you’re gonna front like you are one man

I’ll beat you down, 'cause they might lie and play me like I’m a fan

Blood-suckers, I’m healin' that it’s not on your side

But, honey, word’s out, and your man’s a duck

From freeload city, he ain’t worth a damn

Tryna come out on the scene tip like that-

Yes, you, little girl

More familiar faces

Don’t play brave or you’ll need more than

So, snakes unite

Respect you’ll never get

You sold your innocence to a royalty check

And my words are true and they hold no mystery

It’s written in the past and you cannot change history

(Snakes of the world today)

(Snakes of the world today)

So, you want me to bow

Well, I’m sorry, Your Highness

Payback is a witch for your undeserving kindness

Your claim-to-fame is now properly over

So straighten up your life or go join Jehovah

Bricks through knives, thug’s a played out user

Countin' up your joints just like another loser

All you snakes, whassup

You think we’re playin'

Your mic styles weak like the man L was sayin'

So, cheerio, stream or vote, it was fun while it lasted

Yo, love’s not the message for you, you white bastard

Yes we’re supposed to play that we carry a tray

We’ll call it self-defense when we blow you away

You (Snakes of the world today)

You (Snakes of the world today)
