Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This one definitely goes out on a censorship tip
So everybody sit back, relax, and have a champagne sip
We gonna teach these people out there who are
Against sayin' what we want to say the right way
You know what I'm sayin'? So, what we gon' do
Is kick back, swing a little funky beat by my man
DJ Pete Rock, producer extraordinaire
Yo, Pete Rock, make it clear
[Verse 2]
I can flex, bend, lend a pen to a friend
Keep a party pimpin' from now till then
I don't have to swear, curse, or juggle
Lyrics in the verse to make a party bubble
So Mr. Censorship, tell me, what's your problem?
There's girlies on the corner if wifey can't solve them
How did she say it? I'm curious, G
Does she say, honey, love me, or baby, baby, fund me?
Anyway, we say what we wanna say
Play how we wanna play, feels good that way
So G rap, huh, it's time to kick a verse
Do your man a favor and don't curse
[Verse 3]
You're tellin' me don't curse on a verse, then did it worse
First I put a curse on every verse
I kind of got outrageous, check it, even made a record
How I'm doin' on the B-I-T-C-H-es
Drop some verses for the bust
Every word that you heard is 'cause I didn't give a F, aw shucks
Hey yo, I almost forgot
The curse is a plot, but it's gettin' kinda hot
So, I'ma let profanity retire, hey
But if worse come to worse, I'll cut you out like Richard Pryor
So Grand Puba, kick a verse
But do your man a favor, and don't curse
[Verse 4]
Don't curse, bust it
I won't curse, I'll take a famous curse word and just say kcuf
Kcuf flipped around the other way means ha
Boy, when I do, I see, I can't get stuck
Jump on the mic then I earn a quick buck
Buck meanin' loot, then I grab some boots
And set with my troops
For those who can't follow and got stuck
Kcuf flipped the other way means
It's just a curse, I freaked the nurse in a hearse
But I made sure I had my hat first
CL Smooth, it's time to kick a verse
God cypher the rhyme, we can't curse
[Verse 5]
Go ahead ask me, when I kick a curse in a verse, I say nope
Grab ya by ya hand, wash ya mouth out with soap
Thinking to be the last one with the bad lingo
Scoopin' on the skins in the church from your bingo
Sounds of the Mecca, dark fresh from the tailor
Because they made a movie when he cuss like a sailor
Better yet, dialect dirty like a subway
Freakin' for your loot, here to make it go the other way
In a vocabulary scrimmage
But cursin' in my village ain't good for my image
So Big Daddy, you know it's time to kick a verse
But do your man a favor, don't curse
[Verse 6]
Uh, the smooth rap inventor that enter
Parental discretion's not advised so there's no need to censor
Kiss wanna peep it, but you wanna beep it, what
I feel like slapping a sticker on ya (Chill, chill, see) what?
Too magical rhymes are too tragical
For any source to stop Kane from gettin' capital
If I thought stickin' me was dissin' me, man, don't you know
That this would be worse than Stephen King's misery
So clean all profanity, stealing all the man to be
Rockin' any microphone you're handin' me
So Heavy D, I'm about to disperse
So, kick another verse and don't forget not to curse
[Verse 7]
Ay yo, Big Daddy, check this out
I'm about to do some old sly, slick, smooth on the trick Tip stuff
I'ma bring my little cousin, the producer of this joint
His name is DJ Pete Rock, definitely part of one of the family
You know what I'm sayin', G?
He about to flex on this here mic and get busy
Like his big cousin, you know what I'm sayin'? Check it
Pete Rock, take a verse, but don't curse
[Verse 8]
God Bless, but I can't mess around with the curses
So, I'ma kick verses or a verse
Soul brother number one here to kick facts
Smoke the microphone and produce crazy tracks
You're my bad bro, let's start the flow
I'ma kick rhymes till it's time for me to go
I cant curse 'cause Heavy D said so
Now, I'ma get back to the subject
Get wreck, it you think I'm bluffin', just check
With the crew, Pete Rock and CL smooth very down to earth
And we didn't have to curse
[Verse 9]
Yea, yea the abstract poet Q-Tip of a Tribe Called Quest
Here to wreck, you know what I'm sayin'
Got my man Pete Rock and my man Heavy D in the house
And we're definitely chillin' on the lifted Tip
So bust the spit out, aha
[Verse 10]
Flim flam flam, lick my big black stuff
Plus I kick a curse to be rough enough
You can put the sticker where the sun don't shine
So back off and let me get mine
Visions in my head when it's dealin' with hits
If I had 4 girls then I lick 8 its
Wait, don't wanna hear no drama
'Cause the bum diddly Heav is a fav of my mama's
So I blew out and get mad lifted
Don't have to say up to show that I'm gifted
God bless me 'cause I reach my 21st
Heavy D, don't drop a curse
[Verse 11]
Peace, peace, peace to the preacher
I'm talkin' about a verse without a curse, that's how I reach ya
I can rock a party without a swear or a harsh verb
Backwards, no curse words, Heavy D prefers
So swing, swing to the soul, be clean rhythm
Before I say goodbye, let me tell ya how I hit 'em
CL, Pete Rock, G Rap, Maxwell
Big Daddy, Q-Tip and ah, me as well
Time to say peace, thank Pete for the beats
This funky beat was made for the street
Notice how clean that we kept every verse
But if worse came to worse (We all said a curse)
