[Verse 1: Oakland female MC, sharp and rowdy] Freshman year they needed somebody who could fit the head Forty pounds of fur and foam, a bulldog with a smile of red I said I'll do it, keep it quiet, put me down as staff Four years running, nobody ever saw me take it off and laugh Cartwheels on the sideline, push-ups every time we score Kids pull on my tail, the dean high-fives me by the door Professor flunked my lab and then he hugged me at the game Never knew he squeezed the girl he failed, never knew my name [Hook: Oakland female MC, full force] You don't know who's in the suit Big head, big paws, big attitude Whole stadium screaming for a dog they never knew You don't know who's in the suit [Verse 2: Oakland female MC, heating up] Rivalry weekend, here come the Hornets, wings and stinger Seven-foot mascot with an attitude and a middle finger Shoves a little kid in row one, knocks his nachos to the ground Bulldog dropped her pom-poms and the whole place made a sound I hit him like a linebacker, wings went flying through the air Ref threw both his arms up and they dragged me out of there Thirty thousand people chanting for a dog in the tunnel Coach said who was that, the AD said, not a clue, it's a puzzle [Hook: Oakland female MC, full force] You don't know who's in the suit Big head, big paws, big attitude Whole stadium screaming for a dog they never knew You don't know who's in the suit [Verse 3: Oakland female MC, muffled to clear, rapping from inside the head] May come around, I'm in a gown beneath a bulldog head Dean calls the names, the families clapping, all the seats are red Deja Monroe, Mechanical, with honors, here I come Walk the stage on four big paws, and the whole crowd's going dumb Shake the president's hand with a mitten made of fur Then I pull the head off at the mic and let 'em hear it clear It was me the whole time, every touchdown, every fight Same girl you overlooked in class, the dog you loved at night [Bridge: Oakland female MC, half laughing] Hornets wanna sue me, let 'em find my ass in the crowd Professor's looking sick, the kid from row one screaming loud Dean's in shock, my mama's crying, Coach just shook his head Four years in a costume and they never heard a word I said [Final Hook: Oakland female MC, full force] You don't know who's in the suit Big head, big paws, big attitude Whole stadium screaming for a dog they never knew You don't know who's in the suit [Outro: Oakland female MC] Diploma in the paw, bulldog on the resume [End]
