Lyrics
Y’all got three minutes do what y’all wanna do
Yo, so speak as free as possible
Check the clock!
Watch me!
Come on!
Funky!
Bright everyday I wake up
Look at my travels they scuffed up
Ring go the telly which I pick up
Turn on the news as it screws up
Mase on the line to see if I'm up
Wrong thing to do at 5, I hang up
Lay on the floor sit and think up
Why the whole world alone is messed up
Woke up the same morning I felt fine
Took me a shower I smelt fine
Checked out the weather it looked fine
Made some breakfast, I cook fine
My girl calls me, she's so fine
Wanted me to help her go find
Some shoes but I had words to define
And it was Tuesday, I had to tape P-Fine
Folks styling jokes get the time set
Blooming of the tune growing it’s set
Positive it is and perfectly set
Soul go to show soon we all set
Slipping lunatics shipping one set
Need is for these not upset
Chance to spread word we’re the full set
Rhythm weighs more than your weight set
3 will be the number till sunset
Plug 1 & 2 now we all set
Dove praises flow in your headset
Flow De La Flow there is no threat
Categories carry difference in sets
Differences is equal to an offset
De La from the Soul and its kept set
Soul is the reviver, Mase are you set?
Watch me!
Put it there!
You got to get it!
Get it!
Shout now!
My name's Posdnuos and I'm above sink
The world is so out of synch
A lot of emcees can't play sync
That's why unfortunately they sink
But problem and speak are no way sync
We wash problems like hands in a sink
I hate to make this rhyme leave sync
But the reason De La bad is cuz we think
It took us a time but the crew's here
Activate a dance when you hear
A roll from the Soul like this here
And respond to the bond that assists here
Politics of speaking are intended here
And the president of paragraph will end it here
Cuz the three has completely lured here
That freedom of speak is assured here
Folly fit the frequency in your show
Wa….
Yo, you all only had three minutes!

Lyrics
[Intro]
Merce, Plug One, Plug Two, Plug One, Plug Two
Plug One, Plug Two, Plug One
[Verse 1]
Tell me whats more essential
Rap lines, party past nine
Or reading which is fundamental
Tell me whats more pollution
Black fog, burning logs
Or infested prostitution
Tell me whats more appealing
Fast food job, corn on the cob
Or interstate drug dealing
Tell me whats more tantalizing
Flip flops, skeezer-lizing and props
Or 3 Feet High and Rising
Tell me, whats more?
[Verse 2]
Tell me whats more demanding
A dominant race, a fad called base
Or peace and understanding
Tell me whats more neglected
Teaching our seeds the fact theres greed
Or words being said in a record
Tell me whats more pathetic
A lallygag lush, the habit to cuss
Or a lawsuit filed on a medic
Tell me whats more amusing
Comic strip, or break that hip
Or what Prince Pauls producing
Tell me, whats more?
[Verse 3]
Tell me whats more old-fashioned
Lemonade, a Black mans fade
Or a kiss thats soaked in passion
Tell me whats more secretive
Love looks, a diary book
Or the De La style us speakers give
Tell me whats more off-tempo
Wearing pink, a fizzy Lipton drink
Or a brother with acne and dimples
Tell me whats more confusing
A Rubiks Cube, a dusted dude
Or a figuring which one ya choosing
Tell me, whats more?
[Outro]
Yo, Pos and Dove, stand clear to be plugged up
Ah, to hell with that, I aint got no time to be playin with it
Just tell me whats going on, I just wanna know whats going on
Go ahead, Pos and Dove, tell me whats going on, man
Won’t you just tell me whats happening, man
Ah, you won’t tell me whats going on
Id just like to say whats up to the Jungle Brothers
Id like to say whats up to the Quest
Id like to say whats up to Monie
Id like to say whats up to Latifah
Mike, you in the house
Hey, Pos, Dove, whats going on, baby?
Prince Paul, hey, whats up, man? Im coolin
This is P.A. Mase and I just wanna say
Hey, Kool DJ Red Alert, whats up, man?
Ah man, we outta here, alright, peace, yall

Mercy! (ego trip, ego trip)
Mercy!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Yep, yep big trucker mans rollin in town
How ya do, how ya do
I got the joints to make ya (jump!)
Because Im headin eastbound
Tired of the merry go round and around
And everybodys talkin bout youre stuff funny
But they still tellin lies to me
I got the trees in my backyard
And its hard for them to tell a lie to me
And whos the foot, Im the foot but whos steppin
(Aint no half steppin)
You know where Im steppin
Skirts play wit it cause Im slick like that
Im the greatest MC in the world
You gots to gimme gimme mine cause Im heavy when I weigh it
Watch the way I say it (ego trip)
I change my pitch up, smack my bitch up, I never did it
The flavors bein bought, but brothers aint gettin it
Get it, or else youre a goner
When I rolls over ya gonna have to wanna lamp
Cause its the Chattanooga champ
Takin the train, takin the train, takin the train, takin a train
Now Im somethin like a phenomenon
Im somethin like a phenomenon
Well, Im the hourglass cat
Drug it out of jack (For Jill)
Cause I spilled the phenomenon
Pack the holes in my lawn
Got girls in my song
Word is bond, Im a livin phenomenon
Well Im a better brand cause Im a superman
I run the block with my circle cause Im nubian
I got the platinum rust, so dont even fuss
Cause DJ Paul, hes down with us
Now people stop takin my stylin for a joke
I dont sassafrass, I put the foot up their ass
Sometimes Im fast, blow off like a seal
When they reminisce over you
For real
Mase chopped the record down to the bone
And now Renee King is on my telephone
But I got the Ring Ring Ha Ha Hey Hey
Cause this type of shit it happens every day
I got to make me a connection so my imports stuff
(Word) Word em up
Cause Im so fly
Yes on and on
Im ins like - (Dont rock my yacht)
I got Gills like Johnny
Sail at 7 elf (Well, good for ya)
Bigger than bigs, dig it (I dug it)
Ways that amazes popes
I am the is equals is cause its caught up
When the tides taught me the ropes
No weights for the baits (Man, Ill give you four)
For a verb unheard of (Man, gimme one more)
Alright you got it if youre special
With a dapper toe tapper when a lots goin on
(And aint a damn thing happenin)
The answer to the riddle is me and heres the question
Who can be (fresh), who can be (dope)
Who can be (nice), who can be (beautiful)
Who can be (word), who can be?
Me be the Jericho Turnpike bandit
Yes, competition try to troupe my way
I sing the song you never heard before
I feed the famine in the mind
So mind ya manners baby
I run a line on ya
Lay ya on the springs then slay ya
All this and a condom cause I be a taxpayer
Promotin of a moccasin I skin like Danny Boone
When I swallow hear the (gulp)
So give me roomm just give me room back the hell up
Back the hell up
Know what Im sayin
Or when I run the mic there wont be no delayin
Pressure 40 does it like a Easy Bake oven
Blues got the muffin
Eat it!
Blues got the muffin
Eat it!!
Intoxicate many wit my talk without intoxicatin myself low
So I gots to walk slow but...
Dont you get too high
(Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip
Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip
Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip
Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip
Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip
Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip)

Lyrics
Party people, your dreams have now been fulfilled (word)
Get your ass up, and lets get ill
Thats right, yall, we more than rough, we callin your bluff
And when it comes to rhymes (Brick City)
Yo, dont scandalize mine
I spent too much time
Straight talk with the catch to etch my line walk
Never fetchin for crime, halt, who goes there?
Yo, its the squeeze of five fingers, puffin Smokey the Bear
Shinin black like Darth Vader caps, they on stare
While we rockin it, Ill rock in it (rock in it)
Like the little ball inside the spray can
Providing three coats for both child, woman and man
God bless the God, lay these Streets wall to wall
It go, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yo, you got popped like a flick by that rivalry clique
It went, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
It aint my fault your ass is on the asphalt (phalt)
Got your chin touched by my fam who though you brought harm, you see
Im iced out like a glass of tea
Better yet, oatmeal cookies, yall just rookies to me
Slidin up and down the court, but I dont think you can D
Why try? Maseo be gettin high since Luke was Luke Skywalk (yo)
Man, my topic of talk is sheddin shame all over your game
Like them shorties who claim that Afrocentric lovin is the past drug (what?)
A life filled with (guns) thats what thugs love
Snatch you fast, wrap that ass in the rug of your choice
While it muffles your voice
Now when Im swimmin through the joint, I put the funk on hold
Cause if you dont, youll see the bubbles come up
We run up a tab and gladly add a little extra for miss
Flashy faces with bigger lips for that ass to kiss
Most crews are post-current while were forever
Direct beats thats contagious, loved by all ages
Graduated from the you-and-I-versity
Of hard-hitters, for real
Yo, I got niggas in the streets thatll blast your ass for the shine
And get, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yo, if you a fat chick gettin your fuck on tonight
Then go, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yo, put your hands opposite to the ground if youre lovin our sound
Go, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yo, and to my broke niggas on the corner holdin me down
Go, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yo, I swear Tommy gon get it, he done did me wrong
I had plans to buy more land, plant corn
Bust kernels on heat, work hard like wetbacks
Set backs is gonna get my ass to be hostile
Rockwilder the beat, top dollar defeat (uh-huh)
Big moneys make the big decisions
Keep Hip Hop alive, its just an intermission (yeah)
Back to the second half of the feature flick
Dick stacks and fuck rap
I had a name for makin paper since papier-mâché (come on)
Now my dollar coins join pounds of Yen for play
While you broke niggas reach drunk much quicker
You dont make enough bread to soak up all your liquor
Went from God to Goddamn
Damn, God, youre killin it
Should incorporate it, invest half a mil in it
Rap cats talk with no will in it (uh-huh)
Soundin like they virtual
This jointll hurt you, yo
Twas the night before Christmas and my crib got robbed (shh, shh, shh, shh)
They did a job (shit)
Took all my goodies out from under the tree, except the CDs (word up)
Of shiny suit rappers and flossin emcees
Who fail at takin it to rhyme degrees
Man, you know them whack poems get no play in our homes (nah, man)
You need to not get nappy with me
Or else we gon relax your mind, let your conscious be free
Yo, where my Wall Street niggas, if ya up in the stands
Go, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
To my women thatll throw they hands against they punk-ass man
Go, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yo, if you never been shot or stabbed
Brick City go, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yo, I gotta catch a cab back to the lab so I can smoke
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah (too smoked)
Yeah
Right now they call me, Hardcore Motherfucker
Hey, Hip Hoppers, tired of that old trend of ghostwriters?
Well, heres the newest sensation thats sweepin the nation
Ghost Weed, Ghost Weed
Hey ballers, ballettes, thugs, chickenheads
Take a listen to how Ghost Weed
Will help you kick it like your favorite rapper
Just a couple of hits and its gangster
Watch how we secretly sabotaged this cypher with Ghost Weed

(Let me get some) I got Pharoahe Monch, Ima do it
(Yo, you gonna fuck that shit up, man) I got that kid like, whoa
