Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Alright, boy
[Verse 2]
Ah, man
[Verse 3]
Give you your rights
[Verse 4]
Here we go again
[Verse 5]
You have the right to remain silent
[Verse 6]
Hey Ish, what's going on?
[Verse 7]
Chill, chill it's cool
[Verse 8]
Give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you
[Verse 9]
Whatever man, whatever
[Verse 10]
Do you understand each of these rights I've explained to you?
[Verse 11]
Oh, like I ever had rights, kid?
[Verse 12]
Do you wish to give up the right to remain silent?
[Verse 13]
Hell yeah
[Verse 14]
So now lets let into, in my pocket pack
Pummel and I epic, black ethic lack
I walk again, you were shade gray, come display
Mazes in black, fire in the west
Shit is shakin', it's fly
I'm in lookies when I'm pushing vinyl time
Up the forts, where I'm caught
And my thought to shakin' up a few loose
Now I let my cause shoot, KRS One
Cause we fade in and out, are you swinging or coming?
I'm solid on this thought, this ain't living
It's heavy every setback, even when I was a shorty
Now we caught you in your four, thrice
Check me in another place, space, and joy
Nothing you could serve could ever ace me boy
Fat laces, I'm out, fat and no babies
[Verse 15]
"That's right baby"
[Verse 16]
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
[Verse 17]
I got Harlem on my mind, Devil on my back
Brooklyn in my blood and Butter's on the track
I got insect thoughts, catch the cool ways
Clouds of purple haze keep me in a daze
The jazz, the jive, the poetry
The style, the lingo, the bags of equality
Many different things try to get to me
But in a world of hard rock, I keep my humility
The funkanaut from the kingdom of not
With galactic sure shot, they can't, won't, don't stop
Flock to the rhythm I bring
Sing songs called survival on the Mingus revival
Scored the bass hit, with my bugged out clique
It's Doodlebug, give me love for a visual script
Sip the groove juice, it's kind of rough
Sevens never bluff, I had enough, eleven
[Verse 18]
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
[Verse 19]
In the east I rose
Froze in the pose
Of a land diseased
Flows that cooler summer breeze
Nikki did Kevin's braids, we got four in the 'Lac
As we swoop at warp seven, holler, don't crowd cats
'Cause look, corpie is the color and Butter he do it low
All you hear is poppers and rubber, I'm saying, oh
Man, we keep it popping on hot days
Shit, I got the fish eggs dropping any block you dip
And I dazzle that mood with the cool out, fool
Easing semi-swerve to the curb like the do
I'm fro, blow, you got that right
Groove with soul and I'm still spinnin'
Cross 110 and indicate 'em something else
Blackest space, deepest sea
My shit's, a natural high, the man can't put no thing on me
So dig me when my mind stretch out, it's astro black
Time reaching into end, nappy afro blue
We sw-ing, fightin' out the corners
Do my tha-a-ang like Huey with it, ****
[Verse 20]
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
[Verse 21]
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
That's right, sho you right
