| Ouais c'est moi, Fab Freddy, détective privé | |
| Toutes les femmes que je suis, elles me courent après | |
| Je suis cool, dans les rues, tout le monde me connaît | |
| Car je peins sur tous les murs de New York City | |
| Yo, ma thune est très affreuse, c'est une période noire | |
| J'ai le téléphone coupé et mon loyer en retard | |
| Une bombe dans la poche, plus de crédit dans les bars | |
| (???), le boulot se fait rare | |
| Je passe mon temps au café à jouer des vidéos | |
| Je fais du rap (???) | |
| To the beat... | |
| Quand la petite est rentrée, je sens que ça craignait | |
| Et quand j'aime bien la musique avec la belle poupée | |
| Je n’veut pas perdre mon temps à travailler sans blé | |
| Elles vous font les yeux doux, et ne vous paient jamais | |
| Je n’veut pas perdre mon temps à travailler sans blé | |
| Avant qu'elle ouvre la bouche je lui ai dit mon prix | |
| Deux cents dollars la semaine (les frais sont pas compris) | |
| Les sous et billets verts se dépensent en affaires | |
| Je viens du trottoir et c’est une sale histoire | |
| To the beat | |
| C'est moi, Fab Freddy, détective privé | |
| Toutes les femmes que je suis, elles me courent après | |
| Je suis cool, dans les rues, tout le monde me connaît | |
| Car je peins sur tous les murs de New York City | |
| En fonçant jusqu’au Roxy, il y a une Rap party | |
| Les rappeurs font la fête, Fab 5 Freddy enquête | |
| Avec mes Adidas, ma casquette sur la tête | |
| L’affaire n’est pas facile, et c’est une sale histoire | |
| Elle était amoureuse, elle s'est fait avoir | |
| La fille faisait des offres pour quitter le trottoir | |
| De l'oseille bien cachée, elle vidait ses pourboires | |
| Son copain, le vilain, lui a tiré le magot | |
| Et moi Fab 5 Freddy, je cherche le gigolo | |
| Il est venu au Roxy pour jouer au plus malin | |
| Je suis détective privé, je fouine dans tous les coins | |
| Y’en a plus pour longtemps que je crois que je le tiens | |
| Le mec est dans le pétrin, cette affaire marche bien | |
| La petite est toute contente, Fab 5 Freddy va vite | |
| J'ai trouvé sa monnaie… le DJ change de beat | |
| Change the beat | |
| Change, change the beat | |
| C'est moi, Fab Freddy, détective privé | |
| Toutes les femmes que je suis, elles me courent après | |
| Je suis cool, dans les rues, tout le monde me connaît | |
| Car je peins sur tous les murs de New York City | |
| Well, the hip-hop world is a fantasy | |
| Grooving to the rhythms of reality | |
| Just grab the mic and take control | |
| Beyond the monumental monster playing the role | |
| Pulling the curtains back and letting you know | |
| When I'm on the mic, you bet I run the show | |
| Like this, the funky beat | |
| I like this, party people, it's very unique | |
| Wherever I go and wherever I be | |
| I just rock this mic so viciously | |
| To the rhythm of the beat | |
| To the world, it sounds so sweet | |
| Change the beat | |
| Check check check check it out | |
| Fab 5 Freddy knows what I be about | |
| When I'm on the mic, I'm just running the show | |
| Let all the suckers know where to go | |
| Do the Smurf dance | |
| Just do it to the east, do it to the west | |
| When I'm on the mic, I got to run the best | |
| To the beat y'all, and we don't quit | |
| Just check me out while I run the shit | |
| To the rhythm of the sure shot rhythm of beat | |
| To the rhythm that's on the go, you see | |
| Well, I was born and raised on the Planet Mars | |
| Where I used to chill and rock to the stars | |
| Til one day I got bored and decided to split | |
| I came to Earth on a rocket ship | |
| I crash-landed in a park | |
| Was a full moon out and very dark | |
| Somebody was talking up on the mic | |
| They sounded kind of good, they rocked alright | |
| Then I moved a little closer just to see what he was doing | |
| Said four-five rock and drop a little fresh so | |
| Got on the mic, shocked them all | |
| I made them beg, scream, cry and crawl | |
| I took my vicious beat that was so unique | |
| I made all the fly ladies want to do the freak | |
| Throw their hands up in the air | |
| Rock shock, body rock it like you just don't care | |
| Fab 5 Freddy knows he's on the mic | |
| I'm guaranteed to do what I like | |
| Cause when I get into my shit I'm gonna let you know | |
| I'm like the cream in the middle of a Oreo | |
| I'm the strawberry jam on the toasted bread | |
| Fab 5 Freddy jam rocking way ahead | |
| I was born and raised on Hancock Street | |
| Where I listened to the sounds of the disco beat | |
| And I practiced my rhymes every night and day | |
| Cause I'm qualified to rock it any old way | |
| To the rhythm of the rhythm of the funky beat | |
| Say this pretty lady live down the block | |
| You're coming to my house at nine o'clock | |
| To pick up baby doll, we can rock the spot | |
| With you on the bottom and me on the top | |
| To the rhythm of the beat | |
| And when the Fab 5 Freddy rocking it, it sounds so very unique | |
| When I'm on the mic, I rock it well | |
| Cause I'm pushing more power than a Duracell | |
| Or a Eveready with the copper top | |
| Fab 5 rock the hip-hop | |
| To the hip, the hip, the hip, the hop, the hop | |
| The hip, you don't stop | |
| To, to, to body rock | |
| Fab 5 rock around the clock | |
| I'll let you know I got to go | |
| I run run run this stereo | |
| I'mma let you know just where I'm at | |
| Rock rock on on back to back | |
| Like this, party people, when we're in the house | |
| Rock to the beat and I turn it out | |
| Like this y'all, like that y'all | |
| You know about the wack, check it | |
| Check it out | |
| Cause I'm on the mic so naturally | |
| Rock this y'all, rock that y'all | |
| And you don't stop that body rock |
