Kool Moe Dee I go To Work

I go to 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 flowin'
And explodin'
On the scene mean
I got the potential
To make you go
Then chill
I got the credentials
That is of which I chose
To make a rhyme
And chill
Then you know
I will fulfill
To make a couple of mill
As I build a guild
For all the rappers and skills
And kill the weak rappers and no thrills
Hang 'em an ephigy
If he's a sucker
Hang 'em to the left of me
Cause my right hand man
Is my mic stand and
The microphone that I own
And my game plan
Is keeping at a steady pace
Ain't no need for a rush
It ain't no race
I'ma hit the top
Just when I wanna
And it's a matter of time
And I'm gonna
Cause I know when to
Go 'head enter
The classic Moe Dee rap
That sent ya
Runnin' around
Holdin' ya head
Askin' ya homeboy
Yo man
You hear what he said
Another funky rhythm
Look at ya man
And give him a high five
Cause I'm live
Runnin' around with him
Telling everybody
Hanging out on the block
It's time to wake up
And check the clock
Punch it
I go to work
I go to work
I go to work
Like an architect
I build a rhyme some times it climbs so erect
Skyscrapers look like atoms
Cars electrons rollin' in patterns
Writing out word after word
With each letter it becomes visably better
Cause my foundation built a nation of rappers
And after I came off vaction
I came to roam
The land I own
And stand alone on the microphone
Daddy's home
Open the door playtime is over
Time to go to work and show the
Suckers in the place who run their face
The base and a taste of who's the ace
Start the race
I'm coming in first
With each verse
I build a curse
So rappers can't capture Moe Dee's rapture
After I got ya
I have to slap ya
Senseless with
Endless rhymes don't pretned this
Is anything short of stupendous
And when this rhyme is done
Your mind will become
So trapped in the rap
You'll lust on another one
You gotta wait it takes time
I don't write I build a rhyme
I draw 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 to work
I go to work
I go to work
Like a boxer
Train the brain and aim
To out fox ya
Like a punch my rhyme knocks ya
Some times it rocks 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
Cause I'm coming
With an endless amount
Of words in a hurry
Like a flurry
A collage to camouflage
The power punch but don't worry
Knowledge is an antidote
I got hand of smoke
Writing at the speed of light with insight
I wrote
Rhymes at a level
So you can't relate
Unless you're intelligent
So stay awake
Sleepwalkers
Slick talkers
This time a native New Yorker's
Riding a crescendo wave to save the mental
State of the fan so he can understand my pencil
Rhymes in its highest form
I'm a drop it on ya like a bomb
When it explodes I'll 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
I go to work
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
Putting words together for
Recreation
Each rhyme's a dissertation
You wanna know my occupation
I get paid to rock the nation
I go to work
I go to work
I go to work

[PhillipOrion]

[lheard8664]

@maxbuck24 yep, rather listen to Kool moo rather than summa these new rappers

[Apsu72]

@maxbuck24 I agree, he IS underrated. But I think his beats were so whack. Maybe if he was on a better label, he would have been given something a little funkier to work with. (Except for Wild wild west of course)

[swacfan100]

After all these yrs this joint still goes hard,i still cant sit still.The jump off (the beginning) is so tight.And you just had to love the JAMES BOND flava he put to it.This is the main thing rappers 2day are missing....CREATIVITY.

[jawzmuzik]

underrated like hell, but still living an exciting life i hear

[gearboxbreaker]

and if its weak when im done? rrrenovate, build another one..

[gnquijada]

Rythm and Poetry anyon?

[macktt501]

The man is the BEST rapper of all time. The words, the rhythm, the delivery. No one else has done it better.

[MrRamto13]

Shit man!!!!!!!

[penmastertoch]

THE BADDEST BROTHA THAT EVER PICKED UP THE MIC!!! While Tupac might've had the most cleverly-syncopated flow, and Rakim was elevated thug-a-licious, Kool Moe Dee was the intelligent, college-educated MC with the wickedly aggressive flow that poured ever so smoothly over those James Brown Funk tracks. Kool Moe Dee definitely "Goes To Work!"

[petercox9]

for some reason whenever i hear this song, i think of the james bond theme. it's a nice azz hook. it stands the test of time...

[bluebird9903]

1 person forgot to see the doctor.

[daboss88100]

@theaudiophilestore YES!!! Kool Moe Dee was the lead rapper of the hip hop trio, The Treacherous Three, in the EARLY 80's, before he went solo. The classic battle raps vs. LL Cool J...Kool Moe Dee been puttin in work WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before Hammer!!!! Great MC and superior lyricist....

[edinrussell]
