I've got the skills to pay the bills ya

I've got the skills to pay the bills

Ah what you got, I got the skills to pay the bills



I'm mike d and I'm bustin' out trap kits Haha

The time has come so I'm going to rap this yea

You Rip Van Winkle now you're gonna' wake up

MC's pick up a hobby that you're gonna' take up

Well on the stage I'm known to break fool huh

But when I'm at the table it's the Futterman's rule wohoo

Workin' on my game cause it's time to tax

I'm on a crazy mission to wax Bob Mack shit

Up to the top, 'till the very last drop yea

I'll make you tapes of the rhymes I say

I'm selling sex rhymes by the pound

You horny MC's I watch you getting around my... agh shit



The skills to pay the bills

I got the got the got the skills to pay the bills

I got the got the got the skills to pay the bills

I got the skills to pay the bills ya'll



So it better pull through when it comes to me

Let it go down like it's supposed to be

Words together like birds in a flock

Ah yes rhymes on time like the hands on a clock

Well I'm an epileptic, a skept-a-cleptic check it

I'm cutting up the beats from the bear I clept it

I fucked around and then I lost my tooth ahaa

I'm telling everybody it's the goddamn truth

Like Dennis Coffey I'm a Scorpio Scorpio

Like my man Schneider, I'm a super ho super ho

Making mountains out of molehills and rockin' some mo' skills

Butt naked beats with butt naked fills



I got the skills - what skills

To pay the bills

To pay the bills

A-wella' wella' wella' wella' welcome back

I don't sell bullets and I don't sell crack

Rub a little oil on my neck and back shit

Now listen baby doll we outta hit the sack

The original young aboriginal oohoo

Continued evolution of an individual well I'll tell ya

Got so many rhymes ya know my throat is sore

Well like my words is what I'm seeing through my own eyes

A little vision of the truth in a world of lies
