    "You can't touch this
    You can't touch this
    You can't touch this
    You can't touch this
    You can't touch this

    My, my, my music hits me so hard
    Makes me say "Oh my Lord"
    Thank you for blessing me
    With a mind to rhyme and two hype feet
    It feels good, when you know you're down
    A super dope homeboy from the Oaktown
    And I'm known as such
    And this is a beat, uh, you can't touch

    I told you homeboy (You can't touch this)
    Yeah, that's how we living and you know (You can't touch this)
    Look at my eyes, man (You can't touch this)
    Yo, let me bust the funky lyrics (You can't touch this)

    Fresh new kicks, advance
    You gotta like that, now you know you wanna dance
    So move, outta your seat
    And get a fly girl and catch this beat
    While it's rolling, hold on
    Pump a little bit and let 'em know it's going on
    Like that, like that
    Cold on a mission so fall them back
    Let 'em know, that you're too much
    And this is a beat, uh, you can't touch

    Yo, I told you (You can't touch this)
    Why you standing there, man? (You can't touch this)
    Yo, sound the bell, school is in, sucka (You can't touch this)"

    I went to school with a lad who told everyone, including the teachers, that he was going to be a pimp when he left school. No kidding!

    Not surprisingly, last I heard he was in prison!!

    well guys , don't take this the wrong way but i find it a little bit alarming that most of the replies don't say .....School, then got an apprenticeship as a tiler!!!

    Been in the trade since i left shcool (at 14!!)

    Left the trade in my mid 20's to join art school where i studied new media / graphic design.

    came back to the trade , but i found my learning of visual layout & design very applicable within the tiling trade!!

    Used to be an engineering foreman, used to get earache from the man at the top and grief from the lads on the floor . Do I miss it? do I not. (that's the cleaned up expression!)
