Lyrics
Ha ha ha-hah ha-hah ha, ha-hah ha-hah ha
Ha ha Flipmode y'all, whatchu talkin' 'bout?
De La y'all, whatchu talki' 'bout?
Whatchu talkin' 'bout?
Yo, you gettin' stomped by the marching band
Keep 'em shook like spray cans (it's so hot)
It's so hot it'll make your face tan (ooh!)
Ace ban rap, the place the wasteland
Bit y'all in my mouth, but you taste bland
I feel fake niggas and mince these snake niggas
That hiss but won't bite - false alarm
And if it don't Rockwild, we fin' to drop a bomb
(Word up) Strong grip on a mic like we Stretch Arm
I been shine, you been warned and been torn
Get smacked for the B.S. you been on
Storm bad weather or not you stay scorned
For ten years I've baked shit like hot potato
Rhymes still drippin' like stu-b's, you groupies
Need to show I.D. before the bust down
Touched down the God put 7 to your Zippo
And drop it on you heavy like a hippo
(Now you heard that?)
To all my dogs all the way in the back, ready to black
I.C. y'all (see y'all) I.C. y'all
Ladies get down shake yo' ass around, I hope you know that
I.C. y'all (see y'all) I.C. y'all
To all my soldiers on the corner I.C. y'all (see y'all)
Women doin' what they wanna I.C. y'all
To them people gettin' pulled over I.C. y'all (see y'all)
I.C. y'all (see y'all) wouldn't wanna be y'all
It's the one and only effect, that you catch from a cassette
Straight wig out the world and girls we straight dig out ya back
With letters spellin' out my name
All over your marquee, cause the spark is me
Currently we can be seen across your screen
Stayin wide-eyed cause you niggas tryin' to scheme
Welcome to the spot, I'm slaying with it
Chop it up and fit it inside your quart of rice
You speak ghetto falsetto on the mic device
Tryin to give me third degree, you just a third of me
Couldn't be the shit if you were a turd of me
A man tight with my funds, crush like Ricky D
Who quoted Vance Wright, no one can serve us
My squad advance heights quite superb
Just kick off your shoes, jump on the jock
It's been a long time comin' this you need to cop
To all my dogs all the way in the back, ready to black
I.C. y'all (see y'all) I.C. y'all
Ladies get down shake yo' ass around, I hope you know that
I.C. y'all (see y'all) I.C. y'all
To all my soldiers on the corner I.C. y'all (see y'all)
Women doin' what they wanna I.C. y'all
To them people gettin' pulled over I.C. y'all (see y'all)
I.C. y'all (see y'all) wouldn't wanna be y'all
It goes one (one) two (two) three (three) four (four)
Bounce so much I ricochet up off the floor (floor)
So raw shit the most raw you ever saw
Quarter after four, niggas quick to bust the back door
Baby, open your blouse while I joust another nigga's spouse
(Quick Jamaican dick style all in they house)
I practice to be the all access, you see the fact is
My mouth dirty, so follow while I display the slackness
Yo, you see my slang talk straight from the slums
When I was young, moms put soap on my tongue, and yo-yo
Forever we gettin' this cheddar with the quickness
While I cast the spell on these bitches, you can be my eyewitness
Short fuse, nowadays Langston Hughes
We gettin' money with whoever - even the Jews
The way we finagle and gain it must be all in my shoes
Fuck a nigga up with De La like back in the muse
To all my dogs all the way in the back, ready to black
I.C. y'all (see y'all) I.C. y'all
Ladies get down shake yo' ass around, I hope you know that
I.C. y'all (see y'all) I.C. y'all
To all my soldiers on the corner I.C. y'all (see y'all)
Women doin' what they wanna I.C. y'all
To them people gettin' pulled over I.C. y'all (see y'all)
I.C. y'all (see y'all) wouldn't wanna be y'all

Lyrics
Y’all got three minutes do what y’all wanna do
Yo, so speak as free as possible
[Chorus]
Check the clock!
Watch me!
Come on!
Funky!
Repeat
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 Im up
Wrong thing to do at 5, I hang up
Lay on the floor sit and think up
Why the whole darn world is messed up
[Chorus]
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, shes 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
[Chorus]
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?
[Bridge]
Watch me!
Put it there!
You got to get it!
Get it!
Shout now!
My names Posdnuos and Im above sink
The world is so out of synch
A lot of emcees cant play sync
Thats 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 crews 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
(Vibes, vibrations)
Stakes Is High
You know them Stakes Is High
When we talkin bout the
(Vibes, vibrations)
Stakes Is High, you know them Stakes Is High
We be talkin bout the
(Vibes, vibrations)
Stakes Is High
You know them Stakes Is High
The instamatic focal point bringing damage to your borough
Be some brothers from the east with them beats that be thorough
Got the solar gravitation so Im bound to pull it
I gets down like brothers are found ducking from bullets
Gun control means using both hands in my land
Where its all about the cautious livin
Migrating to a higher form of consequence, compliments
Of strugglin, that shouldnt be notable
Man every word I say should be a hip hop quotable
Im sick of bitches shakin asses
Im sick of talkin bout blunts, sick of Versace glasses
Sick of slang, sick of half-ass awards shows
Sick of name brand clothes
Sick of R&B bitches over bullshit tracks
Cocaine and crack, which brings sickness to blacks
Sick of swoll head rappers with their sicker than raps
Clappers of gats, makin the whole sick world collapse
The facts are gettin sick, even sicker perhaps
Stickabush to make a bundle to escape this synapse
Man, life can get all up in your ass, baby, you betta work it out
Let me tell you what its all about
A skin not considered equal
A meteor has more right than my people
Who be wastin time screaming who theyve hated
Thats why the Native Tongues has officially been re-instated
(Vibes, vibrations)
Stakes Is High
You know them Stakes Is High
When we talkin bout the
(Vibes, vibrations)
Stakes Is High, y’all know them Stakes Is High
We we dealing with the
(Vibes, vibrations)
Stakes Is High
Man them Stakes Is High
(what about that love?)
Yo, its about love of cars, love for funds
Loving to love mad sex, loving to love guns
Love for opposite, love for fame and wealth
Love for the fact of no longer loving yourself, kid
We living in them days of the man-made ways
Where every aspect is vivid
These brothers no longer talk shit
Hey yo, these niggas live it
Bout to give it to you 24/7 on the microphone
Plug One translating the zone
No offense to a player, but yo, I dont play
And if you take offense, fuck it, got to be that way
J.D. Dove, show your love, what you got to say?
I say Gs are making figures at a high regard
And niggas dying for it nowadays aint odd
Investing in fantasies and not God
Welcome to reality, see times is hard
People try to snatch the credit, but cant claim the card
Showing out in videos, saying they co-starred
See, shit like that will make your mama cry
Better watch the way you spend it cause the
Stakes Is High
You know them Stakes is high
When you’re dealin with the
(Vibes, vibrations)
Stakes Is High
Man them Stakes Is High
I think that smiling in public is against the law (what?)
Cause love dont get you through life no more
Its who you know and How you, son?
And how you gettin in, and who the man holding heat
Yo, and how was the skins and how high
Yo what up, huh? I heard you caught a body
Seem like every man and woman shared a life with John Gotti
But they aint organized!
Mixing crimes with life enzymes
Taking the big scout route and niggas know doubt
Better than they know their daughters and their sons
(Oh boy)
Yo, people go through pain and still dont gain
Positive contact just like my main man
Who got others cleaning up his physical and fluids
His mind got congested
He got the nine and blew it
Neighborhoods are now hoods cause nobodys neighbors
Just animals surviving with that animal behavior
Under I. who be rhyming from dark to light sky
Experiments when needles and skin connect
No wonder where we live is called the projects
When them Stakes Is High you damn sure try to do
Anything to get the piece of the pie
Electrify, even die for the cash
But at last I be out even though you wantin more
This issue is closed like an elevator door
But soon re-opened once we get to the next floor where the
(Vibes, vibrations)
Stakes is high
Yall know them Stakes Is High
When we dealin’ with the
(Vibes, vibrations)
Stakes Is high
Stakes Is high, come on

Lyrics
Jody got a cat but she wont let it out
Oh tough luck, cause it makes Jack pout
Waiting on the wins he moves to the next
Searching for the cheese, looking for the text
In the Big Blue in search of the skins
Grinning and laughing, laughing and grinning
Padlock Jody got the whole scene played
No knockin boots till shes 14Kd
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Waiting for the credit card so she can go and shop
Jack plays the back, just knockin other socks
Cause now in the hood hes
(Johnny the Fox)
Till one ring came, Jody blew a spark
Found about Jody round the corner in the park
Flipping like a dipstick, hip to the news
Practicing the range, bellowing the blues
Jack rolls the carpet in, swift like a skate
Yo, Jody, yo, gotta go, got a date
Padlock Jodys screaming Wait, wait, wait!
Dont worry, hon, he replies, Im keepin the faith
Ill never do the baseball with you again
Yo, Ill never do the baseball with you
Cause your hoochie-coo was so smooth
Was it such a sin to let, let me in?
Hooked by your ever-so-shyness
Want that bush, heard youre from Flatbush
Ran after ya, caught ya
Brought ya to Long Island, stylin for a while
In my hut, I was on a cut for a peck
A silly Greg Peck
You tried to play me new, Plug One you disconnect
Id try to touch your hair (You would say no)
Yo, Id try to touch your hair (You would say no)
Is is cause you want my financial flaunt?
First you gotta please me, nice and easy
But I guess you want that in reverse
So I stand Plug First can see
We got a serious block
Turn the other way, ooh what do I spot?
A hoopin Hey Love whose scent left a trace
Had a stash in her pocket with a body thats safe
Ball to the eight, now you wanna swing?
Forget the rap, yo, Black Sheep, sing
(Youre banned, youre banned)
(Youre banned, honey dip, youre banned)
(Youre banned)
Yo, youre banned
Ya banned by the preacher man
You played yourself a stew
Now to me you step, never mind love
The faith is being kept
Now remember bout Padlock Jody, heres the fact
Jack little wick but she was acting wack
Jack wanna lay but laying aint exact
For the past four or five she was banned by the pack
Hip to the witness, putting on a plan
No money, no more Puddy Tat for the man
Jack knows that honey means playing a game
Only wanna bowl, got nabbed for the fame
Claude Van Damme (God damn)
Sam was the man that you planned to command
Nothing new about a neighborhood
You know what? Padlock Jody wanna cut
Jacks thinking cap, make mine into a pack
Yo, heres 20, 40, 60, pay me back
Conscience appears, Yo Jack, what you doing?
You play the cold while honey heres cooling?
You dont have to if you dont want to!
You dont have to if you dont want... to!
So he begins with the ring, ring, ring
Hey Judy girl, how ya doin
Seen you with another man, what you doing? Screwing?
Ooh, shame on you! What, you cant wait
For the big bait? Well, Imma tell you straight
Honey child, Im keepin the faith!
