Loungin' (feat. Donald Byrd) [Square Biz Mix]

Rap started with

What they did was, which was so ingenious

Was to create a whole form of urban style music from just

2 turntables, 2 records and a microphone

Yeah, I'm loungin', I got my man Donald Byrd on the horns

I wanna give a big shout out to my little man, Miko, he's 2 years old

He's away visiting his grandmoms but I miss him dearly

Check it out

If I rhyme this, you will find this situation shall advance

You could take a glance or dance

Elevator lyrics to arouse the crowd

Now tell me who's the man to show you how

Many legacies of brothers who get busy

And I do it fluid till the suckers get dizzy

Saying peace to the Blackbyrds, 125th street

And check the flow that's unique

For loungin', loungin', mellow out and just loungin'

Loungin', loungin', mellow out and just loungin'

Can't refuse this, never lose this, it's the choice this

'Cause my voice is the smoothest

Dominating to your boys cause I've been around doing work

And sold tons of others jerk

Donald Byrd word on the track, quite exact

Giving you the format, Jack

See we gotta pave the way and display

How to loungin', just loungin', mellow out and just loungin'

Loungin', loungin', mellow out and just loungin'

(It's a living music)

Peace to the pioneers but I gotta try to clear

My throat, check out what I wrote

You can't tap into this unless you know the roots

Words shoot like life, absolute

For real, so now you gotta know the deal

For loungin', just loungin', mellow out and just loungin'

Loungin', loungin', mellow out, check it out and loungin'

(Brooklyn, South Bronx, Inglewood)

Loungin', loungin', mellow out and just loungin'

Peace to Brooklyn, where I live

Realistic, kind of mystic when I kick this

You should witness the slickness

Of the horn player and the dope rhymesayer

Quite emotional and inspirational

Philosophical and yes very logical

Teaching you the method for loungin'

Everybody knows they have times when they wanna just lay back

Kick their feet up, y'know

Listen to some good music and just lounge

That's right, I said lounge

(It's a living music)

You talkin' about literature

You talkin' about sayin' and giving a message to people

And that's what it is and you can't suppress that

And that regardless, if they don't play it on the radio

Or they don't do it like that

It's still going to be heard

I mean there's a network and

But I find that both in jazz and rap that there's been times

In both eras of the music, that the industry tried to change it from it's classical roots

See, like, see, like, we're the type of rap group where we rock shows

We rock shows we don't use D.A.T.

Just 'cause when D.A.T.s came out and all these groups wanna use D.A.Ts now

No more turntable or if the DJ's up there, he's not really doin' nothin'

You know, he's just scratching over the uh, the D.A.T.

And, uh, basically what we do is press up instrumental tracks for everything we do

Because when rap started, rap started with, what they did was

Which was so ingenious, was to create a whole form of urban style music

From just 2 turntables, 2 records and a microphone
