Lyrics

Here it is

Here it, here it, here it is

Here it is

Here it, here it, here it is

Here it, here it, here it is

Here it is

Here it, here it, here it is

Here it is

Here it is

Here it is, bam!

And you say, "Goddamn, this is the dope jam"

But let's define the term called 'dope'

And you think it means funky now, no

Here is a true tale

Why the ones that deal are the ones that fail? Yeah

You can move if you wanna move

What it prove?

It's here like the groove

The problem is this, we gotta fix it

Check out the justice and how they run it

Sellin', smellin', sniffin', riffin'

And brothers try to get swift in

Sell to their own, rob a home

While some shrivel to bones

Like comatose walkin' around

Please don't confuse this with the sound

I'm talkin' 'bout

Base

Come on

Base

Yeah

Base

Alright

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Kick it

Years ago

I put this together to

Rock the bells of those that boost the dose

Of lack a lack and those that sell to Black

Shame on a brother when he dealin'

The same block where my Ninety-Eight be wheelin'

And everybody know another kilo

From a corner from a brother keep another below

And stop illin' and killin', stop grillin'

Yo, Black, yo (We are willin')

4, 5 o'clock in the mornin'

Wait a minute, y'all, the fiends are fiendin'

Day to day, today they say no other way (Ain't no way)

This stuff is really bad

I'm talkin' 'bout

Base

Base

Base

Base

Hold it, listen

We gon' get on down now

How low can you go?

How low can you go?

How low can you go?

Low, low, how low can you go?

Yo, (Listen) I see it on their faces

First come, first serve basis

Stand in a line, checkin' the time

Homeboys playin' the curb

The same ones that used to do herb (You heard?)

Now they gone, passin' it on

Poison attack, the black word bond (Word)

My man Daddy-O once said to me

He know a brother that stayed all day in his Jeep

And at night he went to sleep

And in the mornin' all he had was sneakers on his feet

The culprit used to jam and rock the mic

Yo, he stripped the Jeep to fill his pipe

And wander round to find a place

Where they rocked to a different kind of, come on, y'all

Come on

Come on

How low can you go?

How low can you go?

How low can you go?

How low, low, low, how low can you go?

We are willing

Base

Base

Yo, yo word to the mother

Base

Hold it now, wait

Yo, run it, Black

Succotash is a meal for kids that make cash

Sellin' drugs to the brother man instead of the other man

Brothers and sisters

Base
