  1. Now what the blood clot I rap a lot

  2. What you gonna do when the beat goes drop?

  3. Whatcha talkin' 'bout Willis? Who the illest?

  4. You know my name's Adam stop callin' me Phyllis

  5. Ya hear some fuss, you're like what's the clamor?

  6. It's just me naked on the cover of Glamour

  7. A phenomenon pandemonium

  8. The club is blowing up like plutonium

  1. What's all the fanfare what's the to do

  2. We're known to bring the hullabaloo

  3. On stage or at the spa

  4. Guaranteed we bring the brouhaha

  5. 'Cause it's a brouhaha

  6. 'Cause it's a brouhaha

  7. There's a commotion that's goin' down

  8. I talk more shit then drown the clown

  9. I'm like that freak from Cirque de Soleil

  10. With my leg behind my head and a rhyme to say

  11. Ten nine eight seven six five four

  12. Get upon the mic and I'm a even the score

  13. one two three, three to two one

  14. don't carry a knife and I don't carry a gun

  15. Yo we be making mountains out of Cool Whip

  16. Pass me the mint for the julep

  17. Tell me everybody where is the love

  18. Hey yo what's the motherfuckin' hubbub

  19. 'Cause it's a brouhaha

  20. 'Cause it's a brouhaha

  21. Communicator check one two one two

  22. This is Bones McCoy on a line to Sulu

  23. Set the bullshit to warp factor one

  24. Check your tri-corder set your phaser to stun

  25. Oh mai oui you can catch me

  26. At Jean Vie with a pastry

  27. C'est ci c'est la oh n'est pas

  28. Qu'est-ce-que c'est le brouhahaha

  29. Ha haha haha!

  30. Just back from Japan and ooh I'm laggin'

  31. Goin' rao rao with the dungeon dragon

  32. You can dance if you want to leave your friends behind

  33. But if they don't dance and then they won't dance they can kiss my fuckin' ass

  34. 'Cause it's a brouhaha

  35. 'Cause it's a brouhaha

The Brouhaha

Now what the blood clot I rap a lot

What you gonna do when the beat goes drop?

Whatcha talkin' 'bout Willis? Who the illest?

You know my name's Adam stop callin' me Phyllis

Ya hear some fuss, you're like what's the clamor?

It's just me naked on the cover of Glamour

A phenomenon pandemonium

The club is blowing up like plutonium

What's all the fanfare what's the to do

We're known to bring the hullabaloo

On stage or at the spa

Guaranteed we bring the brouhaha

'Cause it's a brouhaha

'Cause it's a brouhaha

There's a commotion that's goin' down

I talk more shit then drown the clown

I'm like that freak from Cirque de Soleil

With my leg behind my head and a rhyme to say

Ten nine eight seven six five four

Get upon the mic and I'm a even the score

one two three, three to two one

don't carry a knife and I don't carry a gun

Yo we be making mountains out of Cool Whip

Pass me the mint for the julep

Tell me everybody where is the love

Hey yo what's the motherfuckin' hubbub

'Cause it's a brouhaha

'Cause it's a brouhaha

Communicator check one two one two

This is Bones McCoy on a line to Sulu

Set the bullshit to warp factor one

Check your tri-corder set your phaser to stun

Oh mai oui you can catch me

At Jean Vie with a pastry

C'est ci c'est la oh n'est pas

Qu'est-ce-que c'est le brouhahaha

Ha haha haha!

Just back from Japan and ooh I'm laggin'

Goin' rao rao with the dungeon dragon

You can dance if you want to leave your friends behind

But if they don't dance and then they won't dance they can kiss my fuckin' ass

'Cause it's a brouhaha

'Cause it's a brouhaha
