-Verse 1-
I'm good
But I probably should
Prove it to ya
Or else you could just pass me off as another motherfucker sayin' the same thing
I'd be hurt but I couldn't be blaming you
Because more than a few be claiming (through?)
Their raps is exactly that
And never half as phat as what their hypin' it up to be
Inevitably what it sounds like to me
And I'm sure to you as well
'cause you're discerning clientele
Connoisseurs, know how I can tell?
You're listenin' to this.
It's elementary, my dear Format
Although I'm not a sleuth, stooped with a sore back
It's just simple deduction, my friend
Which brings us to the end
Of the beginning; although of course there's still more to come
But first we gotta let that chorus run.
So, run it.
-Chorus-
I'm good
Get it straight: I'm great
Could you demonstrate?
Yeah, go tell your mates
To gather 'round, and check the sound
Of Abdominal and Format, throwin' down.
We're good
Get it straight: We're great
Could you demonstrate?
Yeah, we won't hesitate
To touch down in your town
It's Abdominal and Format, throwin' down.
-Verse 2-
I'm good
Just as good as it gets
Eat a chicken vindaloo in a sauna
Won't bust a sweat
I'll walk a tight rope made of barb wire in my bare feet
Over a moat full of crocodiles with scary teeth
Fight a bear with an arm tied behind my back
Eat an anthrax sandwich when it's time for a snack
Wash it down with a hot cup of cobra blood
Smoke a rain forest like you might toke a bud
And (cup?) a 4 by 100 gazelle relay squad
Reach a stalemate in chess with God.
While playing Vishnu and Buddha on alternate boards
Pick scraps of meat out of my teeth with swords
Forged in the fires of Hell
Vocal cords similarly rugged
Like tortoise shells from prehistoric eras
I swear, don't get me started on lung capacity
Because the air accumulated in my lungs after just one breath
Enough to inflate an alpha male mountain gorilla's chest.
Verbally dexterous, like Oxford-trained auctioneers
Abdominal: Vocab Pioneer
Stretchin' the frontiers of speech past where they once stood
i.e., I'm good.
(Chorus and bridge)
-Verse 3-
I'm good
But that's quite a vague adjective
So let me try to present a more selective profile of precisely how good I am
First of all, I'm dope
Not to mention, the man
Fantastic, terrific, slickest, the wickedest
Tight, fresh, nice
Magnificent
Outstanding, slamming, above par
Flawless
Let's not forget: Best by far
Impeccable, exceptional, unparalleled
Delectable, invincible, and very swell
Gripping, grand, glorious, impressive, envied, victorious
Tres bien, muy bien, molto bene
Out-of-this-world
Slash heavenly
Amazing, totally awesome, rad
Exquisite, superb, on-point, plus bad
But, yo
Don't get it twisted
Not "bad" meaning bad
But "bad" meaning "the shit", kid
And get that one straight, too
Not "the shit" meaning the shit
But "the shit" meaning great, dude
Stupendous, tremendous, excellent, tight
Super smooth, ultimate
Better than alright
Superior, supreme, perfect, and treasured
These adjectives carefully measured.
To ensure that you understood, that in other words:
I'm good
(Chorus outro)
