Get ya popcorn, get ya condiments, you dont wanna miss nothin, ok listen
They call me Edward Scissorhands cuz i'm tryin to cut
She claim she got cramps, im gone get you to suck
And you not gon use ya teeth ya hear?
You gon find out What Lies Beneath right here
The Preachers Wife dont give head? Get a divorce man
The kids been callin you the headless horseman
Like Sleepy Hollow see she swallow
Suck like ol girl got booed at Apollo
13 Ghost use my Hollow Mans for Friday 13th
You be Ghost , Backdraft from the toast
Niggaz who drop names is, oh so shameless
Get a chain thats stainless, they Almost Famous
My bling got em callin me, Lord Of The Rings
The Shining make it hard for her to Do The Right Thing
But I Dont say word , I'll never tell
Until you get a Kanye beat, you'll never sell
[Chorus]
I'm livin a movie, not livin by rules
It's just a movie, dont lose ya cool

Jeeper Creep-up on your block and cops Clock-us

You gave him 9 1/2 Weeks , why you tryin to Rush Hours huh?
And in The Cell dont drop soap in the showers huh
They try to give me Life , I'm out in a hour huh

[Chorus]
I said some shit like, umm, you in my things like Suicide Kings
There's only Three Kings , Me, Myself and Irene , you know what im sayin
