I M Not Playing lyrics

..* Ego Trip`s "Book of Rap Lists"; p. 69 *..



[Verse One]

I`m sportin rings and things, that`s what money brings

If you act like you know I`ll put you under my wing

If you act otherwise, and try to demise me

Take me for granted, then try to surprise me

I`m not a dreg, I`ll break your legs

because you`re yellow, just like the yolk of an egg

He`s DJ Diamond D, and I`m the Master Rob

MC`s bitin my rhymes like they were corn on the cob

or should I say cake, from the bites you take

Know what I`m sayin?I`m not playin



[Verse Two]

Now you know bro, that I`m an MC pro

and like a lamborghini, I`m geared to go

I was raised in Forrest, across from Morris

I got more hair on my chest than Chuck Norris

Smooth as suede, sharp as a blade

I`m not a knave, but rap is the trade

to get paid and laid, have it made in the shade

Here me ridin in my car you`d think it was a parade

Sweet as lemonade; it`s not a game of charades

Know what I`m sayin?I`m not playin



[Verse Three]

Now.. why do people sweat me, they should just let me

go my way, but they just can`t forget me

Is it my rhyme, or my personality?

Could it be my values, or morality?

Whatever the case, people stay in my face

It`s startin to irk me, they tried to jerk me

but the tables are turned, it`s them I`m jerkin

I`m dead workin, and you`re still lurkin

I know you wanna be, Master R-O-B

Do you know what I`m sayin?I`m not playin



[Verse Four]

People who never used to speak, now they scream my name

But I know that it`s just a popularity game

Girls who thought they were fly, now they all say hi

but I guess they didn`t get it - I`m not widdit

Cause I`m not souped, I started rappin in a group

Problems arose, and they flew the coup

NMD, Charlie Rock, and Show and Tell

I`m the only one left, but hey that`s swell

I`m not coppin a plea, nor Diamond D

You comprehend what I`m sayin?Dude, I`m not playin



[Verse Five]

I`m not playin, or jokin, not from Hoboken

It`s kinda hot in here that`s why I`m soakin wet

But don`t fret it ain`t nothin but sweat

The name is Master Rob and I will never forget

when I was younger, and filled with hunger

Go to a jam and get told to get from under

the ropes it used to piss me off, but I was young

I`m tellin you now, that my time has come!

And we`re the pair that dares, we`re not scared of stares

Do you know what I`m sayin?I`m not playin

.. I`m not playin

.. know what I`m sayin?

.. C`mon Diamond, we outta here, Strong City in effect, word up
