    YO!

    [1st Verse]
    Good evening ladies and gents, close and distant fam
    Let me break it down for ya'll exactly who I am...(CAV)
    That brotha straight off of Myrtle Ave
    That dude that make the other dude say that's my man, (CAV)
    It ain't nuttin' I want I can't have
    The haters know it's real and that's why they mad
    They struggle so hard while I just lay back
    They sound under pressure, sweaty and straight wack
    I rock like this because I ain't that, (CAV)
    Tell the players I'm taking the game back...
    Matta fact tell the coaches, the GMs, and owners
    Shut down the stadiums, it's ova
    I make the cat's in the back draw closer
    Get the comp choked up like white folks on Oprah
    Yeah you dope, but (CAV) is more doper
    Mo skill, mo style than mo folkas
    I hit the lab with good shit to smoke up
    And tell the sound man where I wanna go from
    Blow up, skit sheet across the notepad
    School em' all from the drop out to post grads
    What history book you do or don't have
    There's only two eras of rap, pre and post CAV
    Now you know that
    Stop the train, there's no place for the game left to go at

    [BREAK]

    CAV is my name but you can call me, (CAV)
    It's all the same abbreviated or whole
    Shout it out so it don't be a secret to folk it go, (CAV)
    Short for Cavee but I'm not from Cali
    I'm from the rotten apple, dirty streets and alleys
    Bed-Stuy Brooklyn doin'it exactly, Get at me!!!

    [2nd Verse]
    Holla!!...Like Missy and Ja Rule
    Ain't a crowd in the world that CAV cannot move
    Hot dude, cats was thinkin' it's not true
    But come front row at show, I got proof
    I went from sellin' candy in junior high school
    To servin' spoony g for the fiends, to gnaw to
    Got sent upstate on bus, (Not cool)
    In the yard thinkin' damn should've listen to ma duke
    Come home in 99, what the fuck I'm gonna do
    I won't move bundles, I got a new hustle
    I quit pie baking, started rhyme makin
    Buildin' up my rep to be one of the five greatest
    And I ain't saying CAV the best nigga out there
    But until he appear, I'm sittin'in his chair
    And I'ma need a few moments just to get in ya'll ear
    To make you forget the Duke was eva even here
    I got two words for the world, BE PREPARED!!
    I got three words for your girl, DON'T BE SCARED!!!
    And when they ask where the real hip-hop, IT'S OVA HERE!!!
    And when they ask where Brooklyn at, HOLD YA EAR!!!!
    It's like YEAH!!!!, Chris Antione Vashon
    Capricorn hit em' off with the classic bong and then I'm gone...

    Ridin' back to Brook-Lan... boyeeeeee
