Who's That?

Who's the man with the mic in his hand
And the six string on his back?
Who's the whitey with the singer-songwriting style
Versatile in his rap?

Bob Dylan came in with a bottle of gin
Put it down and began to say
Now I brought you all here today
'Cause we got a little situation coming our way

The shit that you hear in the charts
Ain't got the same smarts as it did
Ain't got the same spark as it did
Kids growing up with fake role models
I don't give a fuck, said Elvis, I got no morals
What's that? said McCartney and Lennon
All these smoking fat blunts and toting weapons
We don't care much for that, so that shit gotta stop
We just tell 'em like that, either quit or get popped

No way, said the O'Jays, we hated the old days
There was too many rules, there was too many fools
As for now, we got the new school, fly rides and jewels
Minks and pearls, we think pimpin' is cool

Who's the man with the mic in his hand
And the six string on his back? (Who's that?)
Who's the whitey with the singer-songwriting style
Versatile in his rap?
Who's the man with the six pack in his lap
With a beat this phat? (Who's that?)
Who's the whitey with the singer-songwriting style
Versatile in his rap?

Yo, hold on, said Simon Le Bon
Don't you know them days is gone?
Old timers, yo, I'ma set it straight
This ain't '98, gotta keep your shit up to date
Aight, chill, said Bob Dylan, take a pill
This is getting us nowhere, no time to kill
Now's the time to take a stand, so raise one hand
If you're in, if not, get to steppin'

Who's the man with the mic in his hand
And the six string on his back? (Who's that?)
Who's the whitey with the singer-songwriting style
Versatile in his rap?
Who's the man with the six pack in his lap
With a beat this phat? (Who's that?)
Who's the whitey with the singer-songwriting style
Versatile in his rap?

Okay, here's the plan
We're gonna clone our DNA and create a man
Only the best, of course, nothing less than
Top notch gets in the vault
Some from Lennon and some from Sheryl Crow
Some from Del Shannon, Kenny G? No
But the guys in Bell Biv DeVoe
And that guy from The Tonight Show, oh

Who's the man with the mic? (This white boy)
Who's the man with the six string on his back?
Who's the man with the beat? (White boy)
Who's the man with the six pack in his lap?
Who's the man with the mic? (This white boy)
Who's the man with the six string on his back?
Who's the man with the beat?
Who's the man with the six pack in his lap?

Who's the man with the mic in his hand

Everybody be quiet as I input the data
This is science at its latest
I have to make sure I punch in the right code
No mistakes or we're all toast
Now Elvis Presley hadn't left the building yet
He's watching TV, smoking homemade cigarettes
But where's the remote? I wanna switch channel
And puts down the stogie on the control panel
