[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

This is for the lover in you
The lover in you, i know she's in there somewhere
This is for the lover in you
Ah for the lover in you...
