Spoonie Gee - This is the Place to Be lyrics

(It's showtime!) Once they announce my name and I get out on stage I'm just like an animal let out of his cage I can't control myself, I start dancin and rhymin People on the streets start droppin a dime and Tellin everybody: "Hey, Spoonie Gee's housin He got the people in the place jumpin and bouncin" Up and down, hey, they just don't understand it How do I get results, my brother I just demand it It starts with a pen and a paper, then to a studio With the engineer that says 'go', now you know This is the place to be This is the place to be Now in this game you gotta be a perfect rapper Be sharp, clean, dressed up, for me I just be dapper Do what I have to, I make money, but no trouble But if your head is swollen, I bust your bubble Cause in this game, with fake MC's it's been polluted The reason that I'm in it, cause in me it has been rooted Before I was born Almighty God had a plan He said, "You're gonna be a rapper, my man" So - this is the place to be This is the place to be I finished my mission, I'm in a higher position So when it comes to my records, choose to dance or just listen You'll be excited, could never be bored I'm givin you a piece of my talent you can't afford It, so as the clock ticks and the time goes on I thank God every minute for the day I was born He gave me a talent, and above all the chance To rap on the mic, to show you my dance He wakes me up, then lays me down to sleep So that I can write a record that can rock to the beat You're feelin low and need somewhere to go? You come check me out at the show, you know? This is the place to be This is the place to be
