Master of Philology Lyrics by Awesome Dre

You Can’t Hold Me Back

1989

[Intro]
Master of Philology
Mas— Mas— Master of Philology
Master of Philology
Mas— Mas— Master of Philo— Philology
[Verse]
Awesome Dre is back with another dope rap
So, yes, show your support and, no, it would not hurt to clap
Oh, yes, this came to be, what sucker lames have dreaded
And what you have been waiting for, my rhyme is steady headed for
Platinum, Gold, yes, that I have been told
So much money, wallet's hard to fold
Awesome Dre, remember the name you just heard
My name's becoming common knowledge and a household word
I got this warning, may even call it admonition
I'm sendin' out to all sucker lames in addition
To anyone who plots out a scheme to try to stop
A down trooper like me will get dropped
You don't understand, justice banned while I reprimand
Every punk sissy handyman in your clan
How you wear your clothes, no one really knows what type
You be tryna pose but you really oughta wipe
Your nose 'cause it's runny, you are not makin' money
The table's been turned and now you're lookin' funny
Skatin' on your skateboard lookin' scandalous while you're schemin'
Try to make a baby giggle, baby starts screamin'
In fright, alright, you're not what they like
Get out my sight, go take a hike 'cause Dre is on the mic
Don't be afraid of what comes out the crossfader
I'm Awesome Dre, he's my DJ, we are collaborators
Gettin' paid and gettin' laid, got no money? See you later
Don't try to play me 'cause I mash you like potatoes
I got the rhymes that are blowin' people's minds
Admit it, you dig it, now read between the lines
You do not call me a rapper, call me Master of Philology
When you try to down me it's reverse psychology
If you can't grasp all the words I'm speakin'
It's very obvious, your mind's already weakened
To a level quite lower than a snake rollin' over
Your intellect is neck and neck with your dog Rover
You try to flex your muscles to show how much you be benchin'
I come around and get all the attention
Not to mention, while you were still flinchin'
Your woman's booty, I was pinchin'
Peep out the position of my musical ambition
Do not try and hex me, I'm not into superstition
You're on a mission, you have a solid disposition
To be like me, you're always wishin', listen
You are captivated by this portion of my chapter
Experience a sense of rapture
Hands like illegal weapons when I'm throwin' punches
But my nine millimeter's quite rambunctious
First is what I'm rankin', fuck second and third
Awesome Dre's the best rapper that you ever heard, word
Awesome Dre
They call me Master of Philology
[Outro]
Master of Philology
Mas— Mas— Master of Philology
Master of Philology
Mas— Mas— Ma— Master of Philology
Mas— Mas— Master of Philology
Mas— Mas— Mas— Mas— Ma— Ma— Master of Philology
Mas— Mas— Master of Philology
Ma— Ma— Master of Philo— Philology
