Everything I say, you know is rough I'm MC Shy D, and I gotta be tough Bada-bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, action! Bada-bop-bop-bop, action! Bada-bop-bop-bah, action! Bodya-bodya-bodyadiyadiyadiyadiya Bada-bop-bop-bah, action! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo You know I came to the place to give you a lesson To let you know that I'm not fessin' I'm a certified rapper and my name is Shy D I'm capable of taking out any MC I'm back and not crackin' with the word' that I say All you soft MCs need to step out my way Don't try me or deny me, 'cause I'm number-one And when I rap on the mic, I get the job done 'Cause everything I say, you know it's rough I'm MC Shy D, and I gotta be tough Everybody, sing this song Bada-bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, action! Bada-bop-bop-bop, action! Bada-bop-bop-bah, action! Bodya-bodya-bodyadiyadiyadiyadiya Bada-bop-bop-bah, action! I'm the MC devastator, and I like to rhyme fast I got a lot o' juice and you know I got class I like to cool in the crib, max-relax The IRS won't get me for tax I won't cause no trouble or start no fight When I got a microphone, you know, I rock all night Once you get on the floor and start to dance You know my devastating rhyme will put you in a trance I will make you say Shy D is def' And I'ma rap all night, until I run out of breath But it's not that way, 'cause my voice is strong And I can rap so def' and I can rap so long All the MCs don't like me, 'cause I rock real hard But I'm cold, gettin' paid, I got a credit card You might as well face it, I'm not whack You need to step-off, you need to get back I rock on stage, I got on black You're looking when I'm on the attack All you sucka' MCs, you might as well confess I can never be the whack, 'cause I'm funky-fresh 'Cause everything I say, you know it's rough They call me Shy D, and I've got to be tough Now, everybody, sing this song Bada-bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, action! Bada-bop-bop-bop, action! Bada-bop-bop-bah, action! Bodya-bodya-bodyadiyadiyadiyadiya Bada-bop-bop-bah, action! You know I gotta be tough, 'cause there's a lot of competition So I drink milk, 'cause that's my nutrition When it's time to rock, I rock on top But I do not sing, 'cause I'm runnin'-down rough And when I'm on the microphone, I will take all the credit I'm down with the man, so don't you never forget it He's my mellow, my man, my pal, my Ice You wanna battle Ice, you know, you better think twice 'Cause we're on our way to be number-one But we don't rock the house free, we do it for fun 'Cause the time is now, the price is right So all y'all ducks, don't get uptight 'Cause I know it's real hard, how you step in my face But you know it's hard to keep-up the pace You gotta be like me, MC Shy D And be capable of taking-out any MC 'Cause I break your back, put you out-of-whack So, don't try to battle, that's a fact I'm not for a game, I get the job done That's why they call me super rapper number-one And everything I say, you know it's rough I'm Shy D, and I've gotta be tough Now, everybody, sing this song Bada-bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, action! Bada-bop-bop-bop, action! Bada-bop-bop-bah, action! Bodya-bodya-bodyadiyadiyadiyadiya Bada-bop-bop-bah, action! Yo, when I'm on the microphone, you know I'm the aggressor I can even rock harder when I'm under pressure MCs talk crap, but I know they fear me 'Cause I'm devastated that they can't get near me You could try to play big, like you have no fear But when I grab a mic, you better beware You try to play fly, you think you're a leader And I know you didn't know that I'm a MC-defeater You can even call me Peter, you can call me Shy D My favorite group is Run-DMC 'Cause they're the king of rock, there is none higher They will always rock hard, 'til the day they retire To burn their kingdom, you must use fire It's Run-DMC that I admire It's like that, and you will hear it from me I'm talking to all you sucka' MCs I'm the S, the H, the Y, the D You wanna battle me? You better bring three 'Cause one is not enough, you can even bring two Bring three, four, five, 'cause you're gonna need a crew 'Cause everything I say, you know it's rough I'm MC Shy D, and I gotta be tough Ah, check it out, break-down! Bada-bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, action! Bada-bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, action! Bada-bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, action! Bada-bop-bop-bop-bop-bop, action! Bada-bop-bop-bop, action! Bada-bop-bop-bah, action!
