    Why Do You Think They Call It Dope?

    Warning, MC's stand back
    You better take a chill and observe the skill
    of the man who can, so understand god damn
    I got a masterpiece a master plan and a brand new
    way to attack the wack cut 'em down to size
    to realize LL's back
    Don't sleep I'm too sweet to repeat a beat
    a lyric or rhyme I wouldn't waste your time
    with weak words, that's for nerds, you never heard a rhyme
    So you deserve a line rougher than rough enough is enough
    I'm, gonna slaughter choke ya smoke ya like a sauna
    You don't really wanna
    But if you wanna battle on here's a lesson: stop 'fessin
    I'm a lethal weapon, you better get to steppin
    off the stage, and outta my face
    You're too light ?? save the bass

    Why do you think they call it dope?
    Why do you why do you think they call it dope?

    It seems like people-'ll never understand
    On the microphone I'm not your average man
    I cool out sometimes, I save my best rhymes
    and then the toy boy thinks that he can come and get mine
    Let your friends gas him up, talk trash and make bets
    then gets played like those kids who tried to rob Goetz
    You don't know what I'm sayin? Yo check it
    Give me any microphone and god damnit I'll wreck it!
    I'm coldblooded I'm about to mutilate
    Last year before I left I told you to wait
    But you couldn't stay loyal started goin astray
    Thinkin Tom, Dick, and Harry can mess with Cool J
    Is you crazy? I'm boomin, got the talent of two men
    The stamina and skill in battle to kill a few men
    The heart of a lion, the loyalty of a soldier
    I wreck your whole mob then tell ya I told ya!

    Why do you think they call it dope?
    Why do you why do you think they call it dope?

    Cause I don't jab around you, I come inside
    Bob and weave, deceive until you get tongue tied
    Brawl for all give a lyrical display
    and next time you know better than to get in my way
    "Yo whassup wit LL?
    Will he ever make another 'Rock the Bells'?"
    Yo brothers is comin up, "I think he's fallin off
    I don't think he's still 'hard as hell'"
    See, this is the attitude, of ignorant ones
    cause they don't know, all them MC'sll get done
    One or two might say, "Yo L'll be back"
    but the rest they be suckin on SUGAR SMACKS
    Talkin that crap about who's better than me
    You think so? Just let a MC
    make me mad enough, to really wanna battle
    I put a L on his ass like he was cattle!

    Why do you think they call it dope?
    Why do you why do you think they call it dope?

    Just cause I make a love song, or say a simple rhyme
    "Boom, move over L, it's Miller Time"
    I don't know whether to laugh, get ill or get wild
    Cause brothers don't realize, I got so many styles
    like triplin up the words, confusin all the nerds
    Heard put my sights on mics and ?? flippin above the word
    to the mother, no other
    MC brother, can mess with Ladies Lover
    I'm original, I'm bright under color
    And when I get on the mic, yo I burn rubber
    Can't stand criticism, give 'em an exorcism
    Been rockin for years, now I have wisdom
    The way I'm kickin the lines you can hear my tongue twist
    and it'll have your neck spinnin like you're spineless
    I'm pickin 'em up, throwin 'em down
    Hypin 'em up and slowin 'em down
    All of these words with only one tongue
    Shakin 'em up and then bakin 'em up
    Smash boom bash scrapin 'em up
    Now you thought that was hard, I just begun
    Cause I'm a roll on the microphone
    And take control just like Al Capone
    I'm notorious, you're foolish if you sleep on me
    Cause I'm too slick to let a rapper get sweet on me
    Try to make a move for my heavyweight belt
    You get played like the Wizard of Oz witch, you melt
    Yo I'm crazy dope, with super hype lines
    and a lot of hype lines make one dope rhyme

    Why do you think they call it dope?
    Why do you why do you think they call it dope?
    Why do you think they call it dope?
    Why do you why do you think they call it dope?

    Cause that's what it is

    Why do you think they call it dope?
    Why do you why do you think they call it dope?
    Why do you think they call it dope?
