Everlast - I Got The Knack Lyrics






You got it, you got it, you got it
You got it, you got it, you got it
You got it, you got it, you got it
You got it, you got it, you got it, you got it

Get up everybody and listen to this rhyme
My name is Everlast and yo, I'm always on time
I got what it takes to make this groove complete
When my DJ cuts he never misses a beat

I'm down with the Syndicate and they're down with me
I'm also down with Divine, Bilal and Quincy D
Terry B., DJ Lethal and my brother Kool Nick
Kid Jazz, Scratch, Bangle and Cut Master Quick
I worked hard and long to master this traight
And to quote my other song, yo, I'm just out to get paid

So sleep on me now, for my time will come
Everlast lasts forever that's why I'm number one
I got the knack, I got the knack, I got the knack
I got the knack, I got the knack
I got the knack, I got the knack

Everlast is in effect, gettin' full respect
I collect big checks, 1's, 5's, 10's, 20's, 100 G's
I'm pullin' honey's left and right, day and night
You gotta see it to believe it, it's quite a sight

There all on my tip to get a sip of this poetic performer
I can get whipped but I'm out to get paid, not to get laid
All across the country my records gettin' played
The radio stations, clubs and renkores
All the shows I play I make them do encores

So sleep on me now, for my time will come
Everlast lasts forever that's why I'm number one
I got the knack, I got the knack, I got the knack
I got the knack, I got the knack

Ah yeah, hit me, check this out

Step up place your bet and I'll serve your fortune
But first I must issue just one word of caution
Dope lyric presentations are my soul notiriety
Everlast is on the rise movin' through society

My voice is moist resighting choice vocals
Respected world wide and feared by locals
Poppin' junk out your punk mouth
Makin' bets it's too late for regrets
It's time to pay your debts, E V E R L A S T
It's the name that I fed a poetic demigod with skin that is fare

So sleep on me now, for my time will come
Everlast lasts forever that's why I'm number one
I got the knack, I got the knack, I got the knack
I got the knack, I got the knack, I got the knack
I got the knack, I got the knack
I got the knack, I got the knack

Now there are too many people in this world tryin' to play me
Like I'm some kind of sucker constantly they disobey me
Tellin' me what's sellin', what kinda records be charted
Sound like him sound like her her but they all sound retarded

Takin' very little time to write down a rhyme
It's confusing to see so many people so fly
Some think that it's a sell out rhymin' to this beat
But Everlast takes any groove and makes it sound complete
I got the knack

Everlast I Got The Knack Comments
  1. _.... _....

    From Reseda, CA not Boston

  2. M.... L....

    Everlast should've fucked up Dr. Dre for beating up Tairrie B

  3. A.... ....

    Oh god.... like his music was actually good, and then he pulled a Vanilla Ice...

  4. J.... V....

    Its bern at least 15yrs since I last heard this and I STILL know every. Single. Word!

  5. A.... K....

    gay as fuck

  6. S.... R....

    Michael Madsen sure can rap.

  7. D.... ....

    Wow I remember this tune from back in the day, who were those guys messing around in the funny clothes? It's interesting that this was meant to be a commercial rap tune, I like it, and love the video too, a Young Quincy D3 in the house

  8. A.... J....

    Nice suit!

  9. B.... T....

    Terrible beat

  10. S.... D....

    This song does not make me want to jump around.

  11. R.... ....

    So what do we have here? A shitty version of Run DMC'S "It's Tricky", and a video that looks like a commercial for a local ambulance chaser?

  12. J.... P....

    If nobody remembers Everlast for this song, it might prove that God is kind and just. This song amounts to a reasonably good demo tape.

  13. S.... ....

    I wonder what creative process lead to the decision to wear that suit.

  14. F.... f....

    I agree with todd in the shadows

    F.... f....

    It was good that this didn't take off.

  15. F.... f....

    Everlast was right... he would of almost ended up like vanilla ice

  16. d.... ....

    Horrible song. House of Pain aesthetic and aggressiveness were the right call

  17. J.... T....

    а че, блядь, наложить нормальный трек на видео мозгов не хватило? чтобы не шуршало ничего. долобоеб блядь, кто залил. но всё равно спасибо, еблан.

  18. S.... S....

    I haven't heard this in a long time since I was 13 yrs old in 1990

  19. T.... B....

    0:40 DJ Lethal from limp bizkit ?

    T.... B....

    Yes, and this is everlast from house of pain.. also known as whitey ford

    T.... B....

    Damn, I’m gettin’ old... DJ Lethal from House of Pain !

  20. C.... S....

    Everlast is a fraud !! I lovd him back in the day but now he's a joke !!

  21. C.... S....

    Garbage !! How did Ice T approve ??

    C.... S....

    Christopher Sloane Ice-T’s taste is often questionable.

  22. B.... B....

    Going for the Pete Nice look when this came out. Yes 3rd Bass was first. I remember seeing Divine Styler and the Scheme Team at party's in the Valley. Everlast is from Reseda (Karate Kid). Supposedly Divine was the one who got Everlast into rap.

  23. m.... ....

    He should have gotten Mark Wahllbergs life

    m.... ....

    mad4669 What are you talkin about maybe he didn't wanna act.Well he did have that minor role in Judgement Night but that was it

    m.... ....

    He and the rest of House of Pain were in Who's the Man too.@Soul 70's Mike

  24. D.... H....

    We used to say he was the west coast Prime Minister Pete Nice...the pre American Psycho look was banging

  25. A.... G....

    How is this a single? Most rappers can rhyme better than this off the top of their head. The rhymes and beat are so basic in this, even for 1990. It's not surprising this was a complete flop.

  26. T.... D....

    COOL G FuNkY GOT THE KNACK RAPP

  27. I.... ....

    Robert Palmer with an edge 😁

  28. J.... ....

    I think Everlast was trying to emulate Pete Nice from 3rd Bass.

    J.... ....

    Nester This was before 3rd bass which I thought were underrated in my humble opinion.

    J.... ....

    +Tazz Hardwick This was mid 3rd Bass The Cactus was 89

    J.... ....

    No I think he or his team were trying to find his style period. If you see his other old video from back then called "Syndication" totally more natural clothing style and rap. This is more like Rick Astley or Robert Palmer which are both before 3rd Bass. So they've might've been considering marketing him to a white pop audience since Wild Thing from Tone Loc had crossed over. So they were trying capitalize but with imagery of past popular MTV clean cut acts.

  29. S.... S....

    💯 PAID MAD DUES TAKING CRAZY SHROOMS🤣🤣

  30. T.... G....

    Aren't they House of Pain?

  31. N.... D....

    Before Dre, Ice -T had the first white rapper!!

    N.... D....

    Neal Damiano Beastie Boys first.

    N.... D....

    Kevin Johnson I know that! I simply meant ICE-T discovered him. The Beastie Boys we’re doing their thing on their own and Def Jam caught wind -signed them.

    N.... D....

    Rhyme Syndicate FTW!!!!

    N.... D....

    You've said it, dawg, fo' reals!

  32. D.... H....

    eminem brought me here

  33. k.... ....

    Man, this song is weirdly addictive.

  34. C.... T....

    I bought LAPSes red line hurts huh

  35. C.... T....

    old republic that's the group see ya lazy american

  36. T.... ....

    I have neck also.
    But you won't catch me making song and dance about it.

  37. S.... S....

    I love that New Jersey Devils Jersey 👍

  38. A.... F....

    AWESOME SONG BY EVERLAST !!!!

  39. t.... ....

    a young Tarrie B at 0:38! def changed since her my ruin days.. :D

    t.... ....

    beatnik she still got flow...she WILL KILL iggy and all these other girls of today.

  40. M.... C....

    anyone else think he looks like Ewan Mcgregor in this?

    M.... C....

    Never gonna give you yup! 😁

    M.... C....

    I was thinking affleck

    M.... C....

    More like Nick Cotton.

    M.... C....

    Both are irish

    M.... C....

    @Impactum: Consultora y Escuela de Talento Humanono, Ewan McGregor is Scottish, Everlast is American.

  41. N.... B....

    Knew dude was onto something back when I first heard him on Ice T's Rhyme Syndicate!

  42. S.... ....

    After all these years I am just seeing this pre-House Of Pain video here...OMG SO awful lol

    S.... ....

    Same here. Don't know how I missed it before.

    S.... ....

    Nah. They good. Better than the weak shit now..or it's so awful you see it in Bruno and cards Vids.

  43. t.... ....

    He looks SO uncomfortable to be there, and to be dressed that way. I can't really blame him.

    t.... ....

    I don't get that impression. I see an non - Robert Palmer. Anyway I'm here to see Tairrie B. She's rapping again. Beware the Crone is good.

  44. G.... R....

    The Counselor and 16 Bars Rap Battle League

  45. M.... F....

    Lethal was in House of Pain first. Then when the group split he joined Limp Bizkit.

  46. E.... S....

    This song at his best. It's too bad when his 1990 debut flopped. Got rid of that pretty boy image and out goes the shaved head and House Of Pain took off. Loved this dude ever since.

  47. M.... ....

    Не думал что на ютубе этот клип будет в лучшем качестве у человека с Украины)
    Глянь мой канал если любитель олд скула

  48. F.... ....

    Why is Ewan McGregor rapping?

    F.... ....

    FromNothingICome American psycho

  49. F.... ....

    yeah-- funny that I could easily determine both of your age ranges based solely on his comment, and your response. lol

  50. J.... S....

    Channing Tatum?

    J.... S....

    Its edged Robert Palmer.

  51. G.... ....

    DJ Lethal from fucking Limp Bizkit?
    HAHAHAHAHA!!!

  52. 8.... ....

    ccccccCracked.

  53. A.... ....

    what an awful song.

  54. J.... Y....

    I knew i hadn't imagined this! Just won a bet by finding this....have that Dal! This song flops...he gets dropped from Ice T's Rhyme Syndicate....shaves head....joins House Of Pain...the rest is history!!!!!!

  55. l.... ....

    God he was so young here! HOT!
