[Hook: Ski]
A-yo, T! Can I get open? (You know it!)
Hey, Jay! Can I get open? (You know it!)
Hey, ya'll! Can I get open? (You know it!)
(You want a fly style? Ski's about to show it!)
[Verse 1: Ski]
As I.. um.. you know, play ya like Uno
Sigga-slam a jam, jigga-just like a sumo
I gets big, check out my thingamajigum
Styles I kick 'em, sugar, smack, ya dig 'em
Divva-divva-damn! I'm divva-gonna sigga-sigga-slam
You knows who I am! You knows who I am!
Back up! That's an order!
Da-na! Da-na! Get out the water!
Nah! Not yet! Ready.. set.. go!
When I grab the mic, they get pet-tro-fied
Why? Hey! I'm just so fly!
Lions! Tigers! Bears! Oh, my God!
Goodness, gracious, witness style drive a child WILDDDDD!
I'm rippin' this microphone
Ain't no place like home! Ain't no place like home!
[Hook: Tone Hooker]
Yo, Ski! Can I get open? (You know it!)
Hey, Jay! Can I get open? (You know it!)
Hey, ya'll! Can I get open? (You know it!)
(You want a fly style? T's about to show it!)
[Verse 2: Tone Hooker]
You know they got me like "Holy cow! What can you do now?"
When I flip the style, girls be like "Oooh, child!"
I'm livin' dangerous, so now this stranger is
Livin' the lifestyle of a bad rich and famous kid
When I get raw, baby pah, better parlay
Beat me? Aww, please! That's what they all say
You can't get with the kid! No, not the kid
"Uh-uh! No, he didn't!" — oh, yes, I did!
Well, I wax 'nuff backsides in a jiffy
"I know he ain't just front on him", but you damn skippy
Good god, damn, I'mma slam
Hard with my squad, uh! Good god
Damn! I'mma scream, "Ah!", he's a dream
Boat when I float, rough on every note
Mean like a horror flick, 'til tomorrow
I'm gone, ghost! Peace! Sayonara
[Hook: Jay-Z]
Yo, T! Can I get open? (You know it!)
Hey, Ski! Can I get open? (You know it!)
Hey, ya'll! Can I get open? (You know it!)
(You want a fly style? Jay's about to show it!)
[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
Well, Karl Kani, it's never a question of how, what
When I rip it, will I quit it? Forget it!
Still I'm always on point whenever I hit it
Biting's forbidden, don't do what ya gonna... too late, y'all did it
I'm shreddin' the track, I'm burnin' you back-back like backdraft
Brothers who runnin' the crack down I stutter, "That-that nigga's fast"
I pick up the pieces, I straighten it out like Pete Rock
Or C is, or creases, it's just choice, Jesus..
Christ! I'm nice like that, you're freakin' gay, right?
I flow like water, so put your finger in a dyke
I slam, I got original flavor, pick up the jam
I killed Chico, and now it's just me — The Man
Go get your gun, I go all out with a can
Brothers is havin' a hard time with who I am
J kickin' it, A rippin' it, way past Y
I'm so craazyyyy (Ahhhhh!)
[Hook]
[Jay-Z] Did I get open? (You know it)
[Tone Hooker] Hey, ya'll! Did I get open? (You know it!)
[Ski] Hey ya'll did I get open? (You know it!)
(You know it! You know it! You know it!)
