Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Well, now, don't you tell me to smile
You stick around, I'll make it worth your while
Got numbers beyond what you can dial
Maybe it's because I'm so versatile
Style, profile
I said it always brings me back when I hear "Ooh, child"
From the Hudson River out to the Nile
I run the marathons 'til the very last mile
Well, if you battle me, I will revile
People always saying my style is wild
You've got gall, you've got guile
To step to me, I'm a rapophile
If you wanna battle, you're in denial
Coming from Uranus to check my style
Go ahead, put my rhymes on trial
Cast you off into exile
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic
Jazz and AWOL, that's our team
Step inside the party, disrupt the whole scene
When it comes to beats, well, I'm a fiend
I like my sugar with coffee and cream
Well, I gotta keep it goin', keep it goin' full steam
Too sweet to be sour, too nice to be mean
Well, on the tough guy style, I'm not too keen
Trying to change the world, I will plot and scheme
Mario C likes to keep it clean
Goin' to shine like a sunbeam
Keep on rappin' 'cause that's my dream
Got an A from Moe Dee for stickin' to themes
Now when it comes to envy, y'all is green
Jealous of the rhyme and the rhyme routine ('tine)
Another dimension, new galaxy
Intergalactic planetary
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic
We're from the family tree of old school hip-hop
Kick off your shoes and relax your socks
The rhymes will spread just like a pox
'Cause the music is live like an electric shock
I am known to do the wop
Also known for the Flintstone flop
Tammy D gettin' biz on the crop
Beastie Boys known to let the beat
Mmm, drop
Now, when I wrote graffiti, my name was Slop
If my rap's soup, my beats is stock
Step from the table when I start to chop
I'm a lumberjack (ooh), DJ Ad-Rock
If you try to knock me, you'll get mocked
I'll stir-fry you in my wok
Your knees'll start shakin' and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Another dimension, another dimension
Do it
Go by the name of the King Ad-Rock
Super educated, I'm smarter than Spock
You ever tell me, you will agree
Ain't no brother like the K-I-D
You know what I mean? (Ay, yo)
Tellin' you with that echo?
I'm tellin' you
