MC Shan - Born to Be Wild lyrics



(Cut it nice)

(Get ready to get busy)

[ VERSE 1 ]

It's been so long and I paid my dues

And with rhymes like these, yo, Shan can't lose

You won't believe the strange thought that ocurred to me

So intense, it absolutely startled me

I knew that I was buggin when I stopped walkin:

"I think that you should hear me, I'm your conscience talkin

If you don't wanna listen, hey, it ain't no thing

You rap for a living, but you wish you could sing

You think your life is complete, there's a lot that you're missing

You enjoy making music for the people to listen

Hip-hop is your life, by oath you've sworn

Now it's time to start the mission for which you were born

You've acquired a rep, now you're labelled a villain

But I don't really care, Shan'll always be chillin

That's why I'm tryin to say, that's just part of your style

You were (born to be) wild, wild"

(Born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be) --> Steppenwolf

(Cut it nice)

(Get ready to get busy)

[ VERSE 2 ]

I couldn't forget, no matter how I tried

But my conscience just wouldn't let a day go by

All day long I watched and observed

No, I gotta be jokin, that's word to Herb

I can take a lickin and keep on smilin

Who needs a license to ill, I was born to be wildin

Rhymes sweeter than a premium vintage grape

>From the paper I knew it'd sound dope on tape

Never in a rush, I'm Cold Chillin'

And the next perpetrator I find, I'm killin

Just ask your boys how many heads I flew

And that's why I roll with the Juice Crew

That voice in my mind taught me one lesson

I was born to be wild, and only suckers be fessin

I knew I had a purpose since the days of a child

I was (born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be)

(Cut it nice)

(Get ready to get busy)

[ VERSE 3 ]

The meaning of 'wild' is not screaming and yelling

It's 'bout showing and proving and not showing and telling

All you counterfeit rappers, you might as well quit

You'll never hear me say I'm bad, bein wild is the shit

Rap symbol, and never been defeated yet

If rap is a crime, how much time I get?

The best impersonator couldn't copy my style

And even if he did, you know what I'd do, I'll -

As a matter of fact, it's what I already did

I pulled out a rhyme and cold blasted his lip

Most opponents get on, they're guilty as tried

They're diggin and stripped of whole manhood and pride

Don't be brave and save yourself half of the bill

You can't chop me with a saw cause your ass should chill

When they're slippin on the cuts I gracefully smile

Cause I was (born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be)

(Cut it nice)

(Get ready to get busy)

[ VERSE 4 ]

Born to be wild, I'm takin command

While you're performin people screamin out: "We want Shan!"

I'm colder than ice and hot as a flame

And my rhymes are always clever, but they're never the same

What's wrong with your girl? Somebody ought to stop her

For bein in the presence of a low-life rapper

This rhymin was pressed as a special edition

I was born to be wild and you're the one on a mission

Allow me to say that I weaken resistance

Makin examples just to prove my mortal existence

Born to be wild means a prototype

And the roar of the crowd increases the hype

You have to be bold to try and steal my rhyme

Or even to dis cause you think that I'm

A sucker, a softie, or even a child

But I was (born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be) wild, wild

(Born to be)

(Cut it nice)

(Get ready to get busy)
