Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One-two, one-two keep it on
Listen to the shit because we kick it until dawn
Listen to the Abstract got it going on
Listen to the ladies come on and let me spawn
All your eggs then you go up the river
Listen to the Abstract, that freaky ****
[Verse 2]
Now, I'm Ad-Rock and I shock and I tick and I tock
And I can't stop with the body rock
See I've got heart like John Starks
Hitting mad sparks
Pass me the mic and I'll be rocking the whole park
[Verse 3]
Well I'm the M to the C to the A and it's a must
The rhymes that we bust on the topic of lust
[Verse 4]
And my Moms is not butt, but fuck it
Let me get down to the rhythm
Yes I get funky and I'm shooting all my jism
Like John Holmes, the x-rated ****
Listen to the shit cause I am the ill figure
Nobody's getting any bigger than this
[Verse 5]
Phone is ringing, oh my God
[Verse 6]
Ad-Rock's down with the Ione
Listen to the shit because both of them is boney
Got to do it like this, like Chachi and Joanie
[Verse 7]
Because she's the cheese and I'm the macaroni
So why all the fight and why all the fuss 'cause
Hey, I ain't got no dust
Yea, you know I'm getting silly
Got a Grandma Hazel and a Grandma Tilly
[Verse 8]
Well I'm the Grand Royal prez and I'm also a member
Born on the cusp in the month of November
I do the Patty Duke and in case you don't remember
Well, I freak a funky beat like the shit was in a blender
[Verse 9]
Well, I'm long gone, word is born
Don't need a motherfucking fool telling me right from wrong
I don't think I'm slick nor do I play like I'm hard
But I'ma drive the lane like I was Evan Bernard
[Verse 10]
And I've been working on my game because life is taxing
Got to get it together and see whats happening
[Verse 11]
Wait a minute…
[Verse 12]
I go "one, two" like my name is Biz Mark
But I had to do the shit just let just me embark
On the lyric and the noun and the verb
Let me kick the shit off 'cause yo, I'm not the herb
[Verse 13]
Well, it's not the herb but the spice with the flavor to spare
The Moog with the funk for your derrière
While we're on the topic, yes I'd like to mention
When it comes to boning, woah, I'm representin'
[Verse 14]
Spacing, zoning, talking on the phone and
My brain is roaming and I don't know where it's going
Talking lots of shit, a little tweaking on the weekend
I've got to get him by the reigns because I know that I'm freakin'
[Verse 15]
Well, I'm a funky skull and I'm a Scorpio
And when I got the flow I'm Dr. On-The-Go
So Q-Tip, what you on the mic for?
[Verse 16]
Because I had to talk about the times when I rhyme
And when MC's come in my face, I'm like mace
Because I back them off with the quills
'Cause I had to tell you, **** 'cause I'll keep you under prills
Resting One-Nine-One-One Sixteenth Ave off of Farmer's Boulevard, Boulevard…
[Verse 17]
Well I'm from Manhattan, MCA's from Brooklyn
Yea, MCA your shit be cooking
[Verse 18]
Praying mantis on the court and I can't be beat
Yo Tip, what's up with the boots on your feet?
[Verse 19]
I've got the Timbos on the toes and this is how it goes
One, two, oh my god
[Verse 20]
One, two, oh my god, I've got some shit
I've got the kung fu grip behind my green trap kit
Never, ever, ever smoking crack...
[Verse 21]
Never, ever, ever fucking wack
I eat the fuckin' pineapple now and laters
Listen to me now, don't listen to me later
Fuck it 'cause I know I didn't make it fuckin' rhyme for real
But, yo, technically I'm as hard as steel
[Verse 22]
Gonna get it together, watch it
Gonna get it together, Ma Bell
[Verse 23]
Like Ma Bell, I got the ill communication
Ma Bell, got the ill communication
Ma Bell, got the ill communication
Ma Bell, got the ill communication
Ma Bell...
[Verse 24]
Keep it on and on
