I Come Off - Young MC

Hey, hey, ya, ya, you got it going on

Aah na-na, na-na

Now I wrote this record for when I perform

Lonely nights inside a university dorm

I put pen to paper with a paper and pen

For the times I’m rockin' the mic in front of women and men

I get raw like Eddie, rough like Freddy

Krueger with a Luger turnin' men into spaghetti

I’m like Fats Domino, off of Blueberry Hill

Because my rhymes are funky fresh and not run of the mill

Just like a king has palaces I give an analysis

You can’t talk because you suffer from paralysis

Of the mouth, of the lip, of the tongue

Comin' to you compliments of a brother named Young

Now you can’t talk because I’m leaving you speechless

So be quiet and let an educator teach this

It’s due to my producer, so he’s in a rage

And Mike you control the vinyl I’ll control the stage

'Cause I come off

Four score and seven years ago

There were a whole bunch of rappers who were in the know

Four score and seven years later

I dig holes in those rappers like the moon with a crater

Because to battle me you’re really taking a risk

'Cause you’re an eight track tape and I’m a compact disc

Like Tyson drops boxers in rapid succession

That’s how I’m droppin' MCs in the rappin' profession

I’m comin' off, just like the clothes on a hooker

And I can fly like Jimmy Superfly Snuka

Like a shuttle goes up into outer space

People’s hands go up when I enter the place

I don’t mean to brag or boast or to tell ya I’m great

But I can rock the microphone like Dorothy Hamill can skate

Yeah, I can say a funky rhyme like Greg Louganis can dive

Don’t have to be Saturday night for Young MC to get live

'Cause I come off

Yo I come off, My name is Young MC and baby I come off

Yo the brother’s comin' off, Bust this, Here we go

Now one behold, Young MC struck gold

From the rhymes that I’ve been sayin' to the young and the old

From the battles I’ve been havin' with the smart and the dumb

From the records I’ve been makin' with the mic and the drum

You know the other rappers wanna play a game with me

They run and hide when they hear the name of Young MC

Like a kid playing tag, that’s how it’s got to be

So when I start I say Olly Olly Oxen Free

Yo, you can never write a rhyme as strong as this one

So pay attention cause you don’t wanna miss one, of my healthy rhymes

Nobody’s are healthier, New York, New Jersey, LA or Philadelphia

City to city, and town to town, place to place

Country to country, 'cause I get around

Even if you were in prison you’da heard me play

'Cause the warden had me rock and I’m on the PA

So when you get out come and see my show

And if you start static back in you go

'Cause comin' off is the title and the theme of the jam

And when the rhymes are finally finished people say God damn

'Cause I come off

I come off.

Yo baby, I come off.

Here we go…
