I Got It Made (From Paid in Full) - Special Ed

I’m your idol, the highest title, numero uno

I’m not a Puerto Rican, but I’m speaking so that you know

And understand I got the gift of speech

And it’s a blessing

So listen to the lesson I preach

I talk sense condensed into the form of a poem

Full of knowledge from my toes to the top of my dome

I’m kinda young--but my tongue speaks maturity

I’m not a child, I don’t need nothing for security

I get paid when my record is played

To put it short, I got it made

I’m outspoken: my language is broken into a slang

But it’s just a dialect that I select when I hang

I play it cool--cause coolin' is all that I’m about

Just foolin' with the girlies, yes I’m busting it out

I’m Special Ed and you can tell by the style that I use

I’m creatively superior, yo--I never lose

I never lost cause I’m the boss

I never will cause I’m still

The champion, chief one, won’t lose until I choose

Which I won’t cause I don’t retreat

I’ll run you over like a truck and leave you dead in the street

You’re invitin' me, a titan to a battle--why?

I don’t need your respect cause I-- got it made

I’m talented, yes I’m gifted

Never boosted, never shoplifted

I got the cash, but money ain’t nothin'

Make a million dollars every record that I cut and--

My name is Special Ed and I’m a super-duper star

Every other month I get a brand new car

Got 20, that’s plenty yet I still want more

Kind of fond of Honda scooters--got 74

I got the riches--to fulfill my needs

Got land in the sand of the West Indies

Even got a little island of my very own--

I gotta frog--a dog with a solid gold bone

An accountant to account the amount I spent

Gotta treaty with Tahiti cause I own a percent

Got gear I wear for everyday

Boutiques from France to the U.S.A

And I make all the money from the rhymes I invent

So it really doesn’t matter--how much I spent, because, yo

I make fresh rhymes--daily

You burn me--really?

Think, just blink and I’ve made--a million rhymes

Just imagine if you blinked-- a million times

Damn I’d be paid--

I got it made

I’m kinda spoiled 'cause everything I want I got made

I wanted gear--got everything from cotton to suede

I wanted leg--I didn’t beg I just got laid

My hair was growing too long, so I got me a fade

And when my dishes got dirty, I got Cascade

When the weather was hot, I got a spot in the shade

I’m wise because I rise to the top of my grade

Wanted peace on Earth, so to God I prayed

Some kids across town thought I was afraid

They couldn’t harm me, I got the army brigade

I’m not a trader, if what you got is greater I’ll trade

But maybe later cause my waiter made potato 'n' alligator souflee--

I got it made
