Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Okay, you wanna act trife and flip the script?
With your Wonderama drama slash coma riff
That you're kickin like Pele, flows even Bo knows
My versatility capability is simply bougie
Y to the O-U-N-G
Another G to the U-N-S
Let's back up, shorty, from the naughty like shorty
Berry Gordy with the forty gettin' papes, oh Lordy
[Verse 2]
Claim you shoot more rounds than an Uzi
Stop the violence, 'cause ya can't do me
New York to LA, say what I play
So catch a runaway smooth, like Billie Holiday
You couldn't bag me, boy, with a hefty
Train like Rocky, but still can't step to me
So take a hint, money, leave it alone
And play like Stephanie Mills and find a home
[Verse 3]
Plus I never boogaloo with Yacub
When mixed with the tricks in an alphabet stew
When I design an army, I can reign
But never have more beef than Saddam Hussein
The Night Cap, so prepare for a CAT scan
When I turn your brain into Moogoo Gai-pan
Finger-lickin' the papes like there is no other
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
[Verse 4]
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
[Verse 5]
Schizophrenic, on a panic I do work
When you lurk with a professional ceremonial expert
The bold swinger, the Asiatic acrobatic
Lovable, sing the blues when I tap it
Save the mystery for Agatha Christie
Gimme a break, better wake Chief Kanisky
I'm not your ordinary modern day cliche
'Cause I'm here to save your little lost souls anyway
[Verse 6]
Go with the flow with the flutes when it executes
Any comp livin' got buried in black suits
The limelight, never let it confuse you
It's a Fantasy Island without a Tattoo
The hardcore few tend to look for
It's true, can't buy a knuckle game in a store
Makin' movies like your name is Faye Dunaway
To hear the rumor echo in the project's hallway
[Verse 7]
You want a fast break? Me no static
But Mr. Whipple can't dribble like Magic
I yolk 'em up in domination, nerds got scrambled
The Tony Randall left in shambles
Finger-lickin' the papes like there is no other
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
[Verse 8]
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Let me see
[Verse 9]
Pete Rock is like salad dressing when I toss another lesson
Ready or not, prime time after seven (Kick it)
I pull women like a wisdom tooth
Without any conversation with Doctor Ruth (Kick it, baby)
Makin' all the girls wind with the glamity
When doves cry, Apollonia and Vanity
Picture the Mary Jane frame on the mantle
Consider me a vandal the Virgin can't handle
[Verse 10]
And never clown downtown with Pat Sajak
Poppin' that yang riffin', Homie don't play dat
So don't gas the kid to make a movie
While I'm smackin' a booty who just love to rock a doobie
[Verse 11]
Even though I make petty cash like a beggar
With no stash, I make an Air bet and knit a sweater
So the Night Cap of rappin', no slackin', backin'
Hand clappin', feet tappin', Chief and Captain
Could finger-lick the papes like there is no other
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
[Verse 12]
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
[Verse 13]
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
[Verse 14]
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
[Verse 15]
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
Mecca and the Soul Brothers
