I Own America (Part I) Lyrics by Slick Rick

The Art of Storytelling

1999

[Verse 1]
All of you cock-pullers are frontin
Wave your arms around like your some octopus or somethin
To better ya
For any chick you want, I'm gettin her
Rob people, mad ignorant, et cetera
Who the one to entertain and fume with?
Who you low breed humans can't be in the same room with?
Brief and sweet, wrap it up, thief excrete
Every rapper rap maggot underneath Rick's feet
Evicted -- why you tryin to find shit to lick with?
Even your kids tell you that you ain't shit to Slick Rick
Though you pretend to be glory
I'm number one, that's the end of the story
The black Clark Gable leave you numb
Every single one, frontin on your label is a bum
Let me slow it down, that's enough of that
This I have to say to you, nothing, other rapper cats
[Chorus]
From New York to Cali none'll fuck with
They awkward, you think Muhammad Ali used to talk shit?
Bing! This sure hit alone'll bury ya
And even if I got deported, I own America
[Verse 2]
He's so crazy -- I smash rippin up the place
Give the mack a taste -- I wipe my ass with a rapper face
Cars come to a dead stop
Rain find ways not to drop on my headtop
Tycoon rush at the richest
Even my complexion is a must-have to bitches
Even without, car money to budget
I would have the most elegant apartment in the projects
Knahmean? Bitches are in awe * at the lingo * (pronounced OAR)
Know that Rick'll put an end to all rapper income
An old-timer, lock up all vagina fills
France nor Italy can fuck with my designer skills
Saltin inferior, faultin to where we are
Tryin to find fault in superior
Let me slow it down, that's enough of that
This I have to say, to you nothing other rapper cats
[Chorus]
From New York to Cali none'll fuck with
They awkward, you think Muhammad Ali used to talk shit?
Bing! This sure hit alone'll bury ya
And even if I got deported, I own America
[Verse 3]
You lack the taste hook I'm stickin em with
While degenrate like yourself make our race look ignorant (mm)
And your girlfriend wanna kiss and deploy
Bout in the groin gets none of this tenderloin
Feet planted on deep black firmament
Bow -- in the presence of who lead rap permanent
Like a lion rap rips a chunk of kids
You stunk, cause mortals ain't shit to conquer
Somebody said new pharoahes have appeared
How when everything I wore ten years ago you wear now?
I coulda murder heard a word out quick Rick stomp it kid
Hung to it, you complete bum to Rick
Source Awards, yeah Rick every seminar
Even make Sadaam Hussein tell me where the weapon are (mm-hmm)
Let me slow it down, that's enough of that
This I have to say, to you nothing other rapper cats
[Chorus]
From New York to Cali none'll fuck with
They awkward, you think Muhammad Ali used to talk shit?
Bing! This sure hit alone'll bury ya
And even if I got deported, I own America
