[Master G]
I am the king of the rappin thing
But love. is really my game
And when it comes. to gettin the finest chicks
I put all the other rappers to shame
The ladies scream when I`m on the scene
They love my 280-Z
And when the party`s over they stand in line
to go home with the Master G. ha ha hahhh
