Lyrics: Kool Moe Dee. The Best.

The best

Like other music, rap is an art
And if you wanna get the feeling, got to feel it in your heart
You need brain power, dictation, vocabulary, articulation
Creativity and originality, execution of a feud formality

Versatility and a voice that's loud with the ability
To take a crowd to its apogee
And always has a feeling like you're havin' a mental orgasm
Makin' all minds come to one conclusion
You are the best and it's not an illusion

The best, rockin' my beat
The best

For instance, if this record was an atom, I'd be the nucleus
The center of attention, Kool Moe Dee
And I'm just like the core of an apple, the priest of the chapel
With the mic in my hand, I'm like a surgeon with a scalpel

Ready to operate the rhymes that I create
Sounds like music to your ears 'cause I can combinate
Bass and treble to create a level
Of highs and lows and sounds that goes with syncopated
Concrete-created beats that meet the standard of a street credit

Gotta critique, a rhyme, if it's weak
You won't wanna speak if your rhymes not peak
With verbs and nouns and adjectives combined to make a phrase
That'll play with a beat, stop and start, slow it down at a part
And totally amaze the whole crowd

Leave 'em in a state of awe
'Cause I'm as perfect as a diamond without a flaw
And yes, I'm legendary, also very, very educated
Proficient and extraordinary

In my field, the other rappers yield
A knight in shining armor and the mic is my shield
In rap, I'm vital, the other rappers' idol
The best MC and Moe Dee's my title
But you can call me Kool

The best, the best
The best

Now when I rock instead of just average
I'm better than the average man and that's why I can
Make a real human feel like a mannequin
I mean, I'm cold heart, [Incomprehensible] from the time I walk in

I'll shock ya and amaze ya, hit ya, then I'll daze ya
Either way, I'm gonna phase ya 'cause I'm sharp as a razor
When I'm rhymin' to the cut, you know what?
I'm the best MC, many imitate me

They never would admit it, they just can't get it
I rhyme like the rest but the juice I possess
Always seems to be more, I'm a rhyme connoisseur
My taste for the beat is also elite
I'm the best hip-hopper from off the street
'Cause when I'm rhymin' on the mic, I always take control
Can't another rapper touch me with a 10 ft. pole

The best, the best

I rhyme a 100 miles an hour with lightning speed and power
Make the sweetest of the sweet MCs look sour
Timber as they tower because I devour
Any other rapper and I can prove it now
Or a little bit later 'cause I'm a graduator

From a rhymin' alma mater but some say alma mata
Like you say patata, I say potato
Tomata, tomato, my data's up to data
'Cause somethin' is the matter with those of you say dada
Could mean opposite of mama like the kids at Wonderama

I'm very good at actin', I'm very good at drama
I confuse you with a period, colon and a coma
'Cause when I'm rhymin' and I take a pause
You think the rhyme is over
But when you and yours really check out what I'm doin'
Then you say, ooh

When they say who's the best MC to you
You'll look at me, then you say I know who
(Moe Dee, Moe Dee)
It's Kool Moe Dee
(Moe Dee, Moe Dee, Moe Dee, Moe Dee)

The best
(Moe Dee, Moe Dee, Moe Dee, Moe Dee)
The best
(Moe Dee, Moe Dee, Moe Dee, Moe Dee)
The best

(Moe Dee, Moe Dee, Moe Dee, Moe Dee)
The best
(Moe Dee, Moe Dee, Moe Dee, Moe Dee)
The best
(Moe Dee, Moe Dee, Moe Dee, Moe Dee)
The best

The best, the best, the best
The best, the best, the best
