Don't Understand

[Hook: Sister Sledge & The Real Roxanne]

And I don't understand, why

Yes, you are now rocking with the best

[Verse 1: Masta Ace]

I don't do white music, I don't do black music

I make rap music, for hip hop kids

Y'all know what it is when I get biz with this

Flows thats hard enough it could hit your kids with this

Thugs walk through Queensbridge with this

Italian cats drive through Bay Ridge with this

Pump it in they IROC, your block to my block

I make hits like Chuck Knoblauch

But don't make no error or get it confused

You'll find yourself gettin abused, you fittin' to lose

I'mma send this out to everybody

Every nigga, every chick, every person up in every party

For all the shorties in the tight denim

And all the hood rats gettin' jealous starting to start a fight with 'em

And to the D's in the black Taurus

Loadin' up the lead in the clip put a gat for us (echos) for us

[Hook]

And I don't understand, why

Yes, you are now rockin' with the best

[Bridge: Greg Nice]

(echos) Oh!

When ya pump it in ya BM's ya pump it like this

When ya pump it in ya Range, pump it like this

When ya pump it in ya Cadillac, pump it like this

Way out from Brooklyn, pump it like this

To my people out in Queens, pump it like this

To my people in the Boogie Down pump it like this

People Uptown, pump it like this

Pump it like this, yeah, pump it like this

[Verse 2: Masta Ace]

I get the feelin' that these cats is thinkin', that I might be on the verge of sinkin'

Either they weeded or they heavily drinkin'

Niggas know that I'm steadily seekin' to readily weaken

These so-called thug cats with a melody beacon

That the world hear, loud and clear over the airwaves

I move up on the charts like stairways

I bus raps like trailways and greyhound

This is for them kids that was shot on the playground

Yo, don't know why the streets is so evil

To this ghetto shit there's no equal, them yo people

I love rap no matter how much I say I hate it

Some support it, some cats player-hate it

But understand that I'm very thorough

And I'm not gon' stop 'til my name is heard in every borough

Every borough, every borough

[Hook]

And I don't understand, why

(Oh, oh, take that turn it up now)

Yes, you are now rockin' with the best

[Bridge: Greg Nice]

To my people out in Cali, pump it like this

To my people down in Boston, pump it like this

My people out in D.C. pump it like this

My people down in Atlanta pump it like this

To my people down in Philly, pump it like this

To my people out in Texas, pump it like this

To my people out in Queens, pump it like this, hey

Pump it like this, pump it like this

[Verse 3: Masta Ace]

There's a lot of love that's lost when you start being the boss

And ya name start to be in The Source and UGNR

Cats just start teeing off and taking shots

See you making knots now they waiting in vacant lots

Yo, I just want to rock the newest sneaker

Or own a beeper, and hear my song come out the speaker

I never knew there'd be so much drama

I'ma send this out to all my niggas and all my niggas' babies mamas

On the block with the newest Prada

Gettin' a lotta, chips like Eric Estrada

Uh, whats up miss, put me on your list

So when ya pump it in your Beamer, ya pump it like this

Like this, like this

[Bridge: Greg Nice]

What? What? What? What?

Turn it up now, stop playin'

Turn it up now, stop playin'

Turn it up now now, turn it up now now

Turn it up now now, stop playin'

[Hook]

And I don't understand, why

Yes, you are now rockin' with the best

[Bridge: Greg Nice]

If ya sittin' on ya 20's, pump it like this

If ya gettin' cash money, pump it like this

If ya way out in Brooklyn, pump it like this

If ya chillin' in the club, pump it like this

If ya chillin' in your mansion, pump it like this

If ya puffin' on trees, pump it like this

If ya sippin' on sizerp, pump it like this

What? Pump it like what? Hey pump it like what, like

Makes no sense just standin' around

Pump yo fist, jump up and down

Makes no sense just standin' around

Pump your fist, jump up and down

Mashed by the sounds of the M to the A y'all

[Hook]

And I don't understand, why

Yes, you are now rockin' with the best

[Outtro: Greg Nice]

Stop playin', blow it up now, it's ya birthday... (fades out)
