MC SHAN - Down By Law lyrics

rate me

My name is M.C. Shan, my destiny is the stars

Being driven around in the freshest cars

All his beats and my rhymes are chill

Now I'm back once again ready to get ill

The beat's not fake, the rhyme's hardcore

My name is M.C. Shan and I'm down by law

There's been this rumor going around

About low life crab saying I ain't down

But all MC's will feel my wrath

The system is my power the mic is my staff

I have the power of command, the power of lust

At the battles all papers read...

(Marley mixes 'Another one bites the dust')

All across the country I know I'm hated

Not only by crews I've devastated

Don't ask how I know, I just can tell

By the tone of your voice as you wish me well

Filled with so much envy that your face turns green

Cause my name rings bells on the hip-hop scene

So pull out a bottle let the champagne pour

Fly rhymes so that makes me down by law

Creeping across the nation like a midnight storm

Always rock a jam every time I perfrom

Records I make are not distorted

Made in New York and not imported

Have never been known to make an error

Crews see me coming, their heart full of terror

Dip out the back when I step on the scene

Watch the back door, you'll see what I mean

I love to rock a party every time I can

My DJ is Marley Marl and I'm M.C. Shan

We make the freshest jams that you've ever heard

Marl, ain't we down? (Word!)

Now that we've come to the very end

His beats my rhymes are a perfect blend

We are the ones all others admire

To be like us is their desire

Never get angry always stay calm

Yet do as much damage as a nuclear bomb

Do or say anything we may

We destroy all objects in our way

As expensive as diamonds, as precious as pearls

Rap so strong, take all y'all girls

Make cold cash money, make much much more

My name is M.C. Shan and I'm down by law!
