16 ContributorsI’m the Magnificent Lyrics From his LP “Youngest In Charge,” this golden era classic samples Desmond Dekker’s “007 (Shanty Town).” The video was directed by Malcolm-Jamal Warner a.k.a. Theo Huxtable from “The Cosby Show.” I am the Magnificent! I'm the Magnificent with the sensational style And I can go on and on for like a mile a minute I get in it like a car in drive And if the record is smash, I can still survive 'Cause I'm the Man of Steel, on the wheel that you're steerin' Or rather playin' on the record that you're hearin' You might not understand what I'm saying at first So, Akshun Love, put it in reverse I'm just conversin' with you, person This is just a conversation I'm Special Ed, with the special presentation, hey I like to play, so for me, it's recreation It's not just a job, it's an adventure If worse comes to worse, I've got your thirst-quencher But ya gotta buy it, don't even try it I don't rhyme for free, no matter how dry it gets I collect my money in sets One before the show and again when I jet So I get mine, and I'ma get more 'Cause I'm financially secure and I'm sure So I don't need your tips or advice 'Cause I'm too nice for that, you rat I can't stand mice, I'm like a cat, kinda frisky Battling is risky business You might acquire dizziness, just like whiskey Isn't this enough? Oh, you think you're tough, cookie I think you better call your bookie 'Cause you can bet your life, I'm gonna play you like hooky On a Friday, this is my day When I was through, I heard you say, "Why they diss me like that?" I shoulda repent Somebody shoulda said that Special Ed was the magnificent I am the Magnificent I'm the Magnificent, dynamite, super dope, outta sight Special Ed with my trusty pal Akshun Love, the run we shall Continue to win, yet this is not a game But I'ma play you if say you claim to be better I hate rumors and I give tumors And eye jammies get Grammys Yet I'm not an actor, it's just a factor that we're famous Don't blame us for nothin' Akshun Love is cuttin', I'm on the rhyme Skin your teeth and it's your beef that I'll grind Like a butcher, I'll put you on a table And let my DJ cut ya But you're such a little sucker I might not even touch ya I bet ya what ya want is just attention Your mother and your father shoulda used some prevention Look at all the time and the money they spent And now ya wanna die against I, the Magnificent? I am the Magnificent! I'm the Magnificent with the sensational style And I can go on and on for like a mile a minute I get in it like a car in drive And if the record is smash, I can still survive 'Cause I'm the Man of Steel, on the wheel that you're steerin' Or rather playin' on the record that you're hearin' You might not understand what I'm saying at first So, Akshun Love, put it in reverse
