(verse one) 
I'm the beat box original 
Cool individual 
Rockin' for no one some funds is my residual 
Salary calories in just one rhyme 
Would last any even a whole life time 
Dictate conversate translate lose weight 
From 1987 88 
And the years to come 
The bass will still be dumb 
And bounce 
Sellin' DEF rhymes by the ounce 
And if you ain't wit it it's the thought that counts 
(chorus) 
Cause they call me Doug E. Fresh 
Cause known I'm DEF and the initials of my name is D.E.F. 
Know what I'm sayin' 
I ain't playin' 
Picture this... 
(verse two) 
Standing outside in the front of the place 
Eyes hypnotized by the sound of the bass 
Kickin' it wicked I wonder who it is performing 
Cops barricade so the crowd won't storm in 
I'm in the middle of this and and I'm left unknowin 
Standing and plannin' if the groups not showin up 
But the tension of the crowd is growin up 
Out of adolescence to a full size problem 
And if I have problems I solve them and they,and they 
(chorus) 
(verse three) 
Pointed in the direction headed for the door 
As my mind recalls being through this before 
So I'm figuring and adding and here I am mad 
In a way getting closer to the metal detector 
Pass my shank to the cut professor 
I was taught to never roam as they check my home boy 
And find out the shank ain't nuthin but a comb 
Through a distant block I didn't come to rock 
I came to put the whole place in shock 
But this girl followed me just like a shadow 
I told her to chill because I know the girl 
Had no reason for teasin' 
Because it ain't skeezin' season 
Me and the fellas were just breezin' on by 
I didn't want to dis'her so I said Hi 
And capitalize in what I specialize in 
And begin to get down into something more important 
While the Dj spins the records 
And I recon without double checkin' 
I have you spell bound in the average of a second or less 
(chorus) 
Cut it up Will 
Cut it up Barry 
Cut,cut,cut,cut 
Cuttin up 
Cut it up
