Bilal Bashir - I Got the Knack lyrics

[Verse 1: Everlast] Get up everybody and listen to this rhyme My name is Everlast and yo, I'm always on time I got what it takes to make this groove complete And when my DJ is cuttin, he's never missin a beat I'm down with the Syndicate and they're down with me I'm also down with Divine, Bilal and Quincy D Tairrie B., DJ Lethal and my brother Kool Nick Kid Jazz, Scratch, Bango and Cutmaster Quick I've worked hard and long to master this trade And to quote my other song yo, I'm just out to get paid So sleep on me now for my time will come Everlast lasts forever, that's why I'm number one [Chorus] I got the knack (You got it) (You know I feel alright) [Verse 2: Everlast] Everlast is in effect Gettin big respect Then I collect big checks 1's, 5's, 10's, 20's 100 g's and I'm pullin honeys Left and right, day and night You gotta see it to believe it, it's quite a sight They're all on my tip to get a sip Of this poetical performer that's fully equipped But I'm out to get paid, not to get laid All across the country my records gettin played On radio stations, clubs and on tours And after every show I make three encores Sleep on me now for my time will come Everlast last forever, that's why I'm number one [Chorus] [Verse 3: Everlast] Step up, place your bet and I'll serve you fortune But first I must issue just one word of caution Dope lyric presentations are my sole notoriety Everlast is on the rise movin through society My voice is moist recitin choice vocals Respected worldwide and feared by locals Poppin junk out your punk mouth makin bets It's too late for regrets, it's time to pay your debts E-v-e-r-l-a-s-t is the name that I bear A poetic demi-god with skin that's fair So sleep on me now for my time will come Everlast lasts forever, that's why I'm number one [Chorus] [Verse 4: Everlast] Now there's too many people in this world tryin to play me Like I'm some kind of s**er constantly they disobey me Tellin me what's sellin, what kinda records get charted Sound like him, sound like her - but they all sound retarded Takin very little time to write down a rhyme It's confusing to see so many people so blind Some think that it's a sell-out rhymin to this beat But Everlast can take any groove and make it sound complete I got the knack
