4

7
I got my man Melo T in the house
8

9

I got my man Gang Starr in the house
11

12
and I'm Greg N-i-c-e, I'm in the house
13
So peep it
14
[ VERSE 1: Greg Nice ]
15
I got a shitload of story tales in my sack
16
Please come in, hang your coat on the rag
17
While you at it, make my coffee black
18
So I can get the monkey from off my back
19
15 cents minus 5 is a dime
20
Sexy young ladies, let's intertwine
21
Greg N-i-c-e ran it down the line-line
22
[ VERSE 2: Preacher Earl ]
23
I'm the P-r-e-a-c-h-e-r, uh
24
Preacher Earl and I'm considered a superstar
25
Pick up the microphone and I proceed to rock ' roll
26
By the time I sweat I'm out of control
27
I'm like a locomotive goin express
28
My lyrics written in spraypaint on the wall (ssss...) def
29
I'm from Uptown, I'm a gangster from the projects
30
Either or, take it all, get much respect
31
Destined for fame when I'm goin for mine
32
This, this is how I run it down the line
33
[ VERSE 3: Melo T ]
34
Hey yo, beats, styles, mics I be flashin
35
If you step up step in a orderly fashion
36
See, I collect the dough for the show and then I'm dashin
37
House parties I'm crashin, pool parties I'm splashin
38
Eatin candy yams, drinkin Baby Sham, breakin down ( ? )
39
Got the masterplan, glance at the Melo stance
40
Arms are crisscrossed, posture rasta
41
When I wanna go to the mall, I need a helicopter
42
Rrrrring - I think that's my time
43
Yo, (this is how we run it down the line)
44
[ VERSE 4: Bass Blaster ]
45
The biggeda-Bass Blaster with a tongue-twistin rhyme
46
(This is how we run it down the line)
47
Yo, literally, literary literature
48
Six slippery Seals slippin silently ashore
49
Sally sold seashells down by the seashore
50
Sold two shells but couldn't see to sell no more
51
Beautiful babblin brooks bubba between blossom and banks
52
Brothers above the Brooks take a punch off the plank
53
A big black bug bit a big black bear, bit him on the rear
54
The bear was big but the bug didn't care, he had no fear
55
How much would could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
56
Yo, I don't know, all I know is I say it good
57
Asu, you got the funky, funky rhymes
58
Yo my brother, run it down the line
59
[ VERSE 5: Asu ]
60
Yo, rhymes is rippin and the mic is passed to me
61
It was too young so they got me for statuatory
62
Don't take me for granted, punk, yeah, and think I'm worthless
63
Fuck movin mountains I move planets and you'll be earthless
64
You don't wanna battle Asu, all I leave is fossils
65
Lethal Weapons Die Harder cause the Mission's Impossible
66
And my rhymes is riper, I'm ready to come crisper
67
Old jacks know that so they go back and whisper
68
Takin surveys, gettin nervous, I'm just too worthy
69
They can't stand me and say, 'He can't be from Jersey'
70
[ VERSE 6: Guru ]
71
Mad, mad response I'm catchin just as soon as I step into the place
72
That's why a smile's on my face
73
I got styles that you trace with haste but I'm too deep
74
Lots of the ladies I meet, I must be sweet
75
So I say hold up and wait up and then listen here
76
My rhymes come crisp and clear, but beware
77
My format is all that, my concept's refined
78
The Gang to the S-t-a-double r shines
79
Chumps be losin it, abusin it, not gainin
80
So there my gain is they vanish while I'm remainin
81
And twice as Nice with a Smooth groove I end my rhyme
82
And yo (this is how we run it down the line)
83
[ VERSE 7: Smooth B ]
84
Yeah, lyrical, financial and spiritual
85
A dream of touchin my style would take a miracle
86
You didn't know how deadly was my flow as I grow
87
And bumrush and crush any foe
88
But I prefer to have a good time when I rhyme
89
But lately I have had to refine and be sublime
90
Cause sometimes some people don't understand
91
That I'm a man with ambitious plans and I stand to live grand
92
And they fight with all their money invested to hold me back
93
But now I'm featuring the mack pack
94
Smooth B, you know I'm feelin fine
95
(This is how we run it down the line)
96
[ Greg Nice ]
97
As I go on
98
the Bass Blaster's in the house
99
to my man [name] in the house
100
to my man [name] in the house
101
to my man Slick Nick
102
to my man Vance Wright in the house
103
and Premier, you'se a mutha
104
Uhm-uhm
