All that I need
Look at all the love we've found
I won't run and pull the one jack move
They love her for the Kingston sound


Flava-Flav and I-C-E
Once said something that made me[1]
Want to burn my liquor store down to the ground
But I just can't leave the pad
Cause I'll surely wind up dead
Cause I know there out there out there waiting and watching for me[2]
Still I got my yellow cat
And my wooden baseball bat
And my shiny silver gat
And if my homie got my back then I got...


All that I need
Look at all the love we've found
I won't run and pull the one jack move
They love her for the Kingston sound


I won't slip, and I won't trip
Send Matt Vargas[3] to regrip[4]
While I'm wrenchin' on my ride
In that secret pad[5] where we hide
There's always lotsa fun stuff to do
Like relax and design a brand new tattoo
Play with my crossword puzzle book
I'm even learning how to cook (crack that is)


Have you seen that little whore Betty?
Someone said she stole my freddy[6]
And if she made off with my last clean rig[7]
I'm gonna kill that fuckin' ditch pig
So what?
Outta my, outta my, outta my, outta my secret pad
Cause I know you're talkin' about me, makin' it hard to live
Cause I don't want no money fee, don't want no money down
My secret tweaker[8] pad is now the hottest spot in town I guess
Take it nice and easy
Don't want no sheriff breakin' down the door to raid me
Cause...


All that I need
Look at all the love we've found
I won't run and pull the one jack move
They love her for the Kingston sound

Baby you wanna give me kisses sweet
Only for one night with no repeat
Baby you wanna leave and never go
But the taste of honey is worse than none at all[9]
