Kool Moe Dee Lyrics
"I Go To Work"

(0:30)
I go work
Like a doctor
When I rock the mic
You got to like
The way I operate
I make miracles happen
Just from rappin
I'm so lyrically potent
And I'm floatin
And explodin
On the scene mean
I got the potential
To make you go then chill
I got the credentials
That is so essential
To make a rhyme send chills
And you know I will fulfill
Make a couple a mill
As I build the guil
For all the rappers and skill
And kill the weak rappers and no thrill
Hang em in effigy
If he's a sucker
Hang him to the left of me
Cuz my right hand man
Is my mic stand and
The microphone that I own
And my game plan
Is keep it at a steady pace
Ain't no reason to rush
It ain't no race
I'm a hit the top
Just when I wanna
And it's a matter a time
And I'm gonna
Cuz I know when ta
Go ahead inta
The classic Moe Dee rap
That sends ya
Runnin around
A holdin ya head
Askin ya homeboy
Yo man, you heard what he said?
Another funky rhythm
Look at ya man and give him a high five
Cuz I'm live
Runnin round with him
Tellin everybody hangin out on the block
It's time to wake up, check the clock
Punch it

I go work

I go work

(1:39)
I go work
Like an architect
I build a rhyme sometimes it climbs so erect
Skyscrapers look like atoms
Cars electrons
Rollin in patterns
Writin out word after word
With each letter
It becomes visibly better
Cuz my foundation
Built a nation
Of rappers and after I came off vacation
I came to roam
The land I own
Stand alone
On the microphone
Daddy's home
So open the door
Play time is over
Time to go to work work and show the
Suckers in the place who run their face
a taste of the base and who's the ace
Start the race
I'm comin in first
With each verse I build a curse
So rappers can't capture Moe Dee's rapture
And after I have ya
I have to slap ya
Senseless with endless
Rhymes don't pretend this
Is anything short of stupendous
And when this rhyme is done
Your mind will become
So trapped in the rap
You'll lust another one
But you gotta wait
It takes time
I don't write I build a rhyme
Draw the plans
Draft the diagrams
An architect in effect and it slams
And if it's weak when I'm done
Renovate and build another one
I go work

I go work

(2:48)
I go work
Like a boxer
Train the brain and aim to out fox ya
Like a punch, my rhyme rocks ya
Sometimes it knocks ya
So hard it stops ya
Dead in your tracks
So power packed
Before you can react
You're flat on your back
Down for the count
Get up and dismount
Cuz I'm comin with an endless amount
Of rhymes in a hurry
Like a flurry
A collage a camouflage
A power punch but don't worry
Knowledge is an antidote
I got hands a smoke
Writin at the speed a light with insight I wrote
Rhymes on a level so you can't relate
Unless you're intelligent
So stay awake
Sleepwalkers
Slick talkers
This time a native New Yorker's
Ridin a crescendo way to say the mental
State a the fan so he can understand my pencils
Writin a rhyme in its highest form
And I'm a drop it on in ya like a bomb
And when it explodes I blow up
A few casualties but so what?
If you're slow you blow
You know you go
I flow I throw all pro
I go to work

(3:49)
To say rap is not work Is ludicrous
Whoever said it must be new to this
When you hear me
You'll compare me
To a prophet for profit not merely
Puttin words together for recreation
Each rhyme's a dissertation
You wanna know my occupation?
I get paid to rock the nation
I go work

I go work

I go to work

I go to work

I go to work!
