Lyrics
(This time, put it in mellow)
Here we go again
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say (ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)
First P is passed
I am known as
Posdnuos, Plug One to the whole race
Rhyme on a tour
Smart and mature
Dispatch obscure things with the Mad Face
Tall dark and lean
Was once nineteen
Now I'm one year older with reason
Clean thoughts and drawers
Rhyme flow never stalls
The yes yes yes y'alls
Are in this season
The Soul reached high plains
We didn't reach Soul Train
But Don don't like rap
So that won't happen
Fame we don't lust
God we do trust
Arsenio dissed us
But the crowd kept clapping
Blessed with soul's lights
So turn off your bright
Overexposure will bring about a clear soul
Don't push, but pile
For this here new style
And excuse me y'all while I fill my potholes
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say (oh yeah)
Pass the peas like they used to say (ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)
Passed off second
Tru I reckon
Head full of dreads
But knowledge inside
Singin' on records, making it hectic
Wishing it all would fall and die
Radio works it, public consumes it
Tommy Boy wants another "Say No," (huh)
Rough and rugged
It's not a new twist
Been Trugoy since the first get go
Here's the D.A.I.S.Y.
Watching it die, see?
Native is the new like Balance is the shoe
Paul makes a mil like dill makes pickles
Plus is to add like addin to the crew is
Pimps promote us, RM's work us
MP's watch us close in focus
Watch me steppin'
Now I'm dancin’
Then disappear with the hocus pocus
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say (ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)
(people in the place this is very hard to conceal)
(Pos get funky)
(Check it out)
(people in the place this is very hard to conceal)
(Dove get funky)
(Check it out)
(People in the place this is very hard to conceal)
(Mase get funky)
(Check it out)
(People in the place this is very hard to conceal)
(Prince Paul get funky) (ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)
(ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say (yeah)
Pass the peas like they used to say (mmm)
Pass the peas like they used to say (ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)
Fourth P is passed
I am known as
(Prince Paul)
Yeah thanks Mase
Applied like chapsticks
The songs are slapsticks
Skeezoids with polaroids
Give me such a case
Trife or not trife
Don't own a wife
Yet I'm down and around for a good kiss
I got a 40 of Pepsi
A girl in Bed-Stuy
And I'll end it like this!
(Will rise, not fall)
(Definition: Prince Paul)
(Our Mentor, don't be sore)
(When I say that's all)

Lyrics
Yes, this is Miss Renee King from Philadelphia. I want you to give me a call on area code 215-222-4209 and Im calling in reference to the music business. Thank you.
Hey how ya doin
Sorry ya cant get through
Why dont you leave your name and your number
And Ill get back to you
Hey how are ya doin
Sorry ya cant get through
But leave your name and your number
And Ill, get back to you
Once again its another rap bandit
Fiending at I and I cant stand it
Wanna be down with the Day-Glo
Knocking on my door, saying, a yo yo
Knocking on my door, saying, a yo yo
I got a funky new tune with a fly banjo
I cant understand what the problem is
I find it hard enough dealin’ with my own biz
Howd they get my name and number?
Then I stop to think and wonder
Bout a plan, “yo man I gotta step out town
You wanna call me up? Take my number down
Its 222-2222
I gotta answering machine that can talk to you
It goes”
Hey how ya doin
Sorry ya cant get through
But leave your name and your number
And Ill get back to you
Yo, check it, exit the old style, enters the new
But nothings new bout being hawked by a crew
Or should I say flock cause around every block
Theres Harry, Dick, and Tom, with a demo in his palm
Now Im with helping those who want to help themselves
And flaunt a nut thats doggy as in dope
But its not the mood to hear
The tales of limousines and pails
Of money theyll make like a pro
I be like, Yo black, just play me the tape
But at the show the time to spare I just make
But the songs created in they shacks
Are so wick-wick-wack, situations like this
And now I hate they give me smiles Kool-Aid wide and ask
was it def?
And with the straightest face I be like, hell yes.
I slip them the digits to Papa Prince Paul
So I dont go AWOL but yet I know when they call they get
Hey how ya doin
Sorry ya cant get through
Why dont you leave your name and your number
And Ill get back to you
Hey how are you doing
Sorry ya cant get through
Why don’t you leave your name and your number
And Ill get back to you
Party at the dug-out on Diction Ave
Havent been to the jam in quite a while
Figure Ill catch up on the latest styles
Stead piles and piles of demo tapes by the miles
All I wanna do is cut on the decks wild
But edition up here by the miles to the center
Reliever of duty, Plug One moseys in
And I be like, Yo G, Pos does all the producing
Now woe is me to the third degree
Mase pulls the funny so I make like a bunny, jettin
But Im getting used to this demo abuse
Getting raped and giving birth to a tape
Cause theres no escape from the clutches of a hawker
Attached to my success, sent like a stalker
Make way to my radius playin fly guy
Try to get on my back they force like Luke Sky
Me, Myself, and I go through this act daily
And rarely do I not
No matter how I dodge some jackal always nails me
No matter what the plot
And even out on tour they be like
Yo, I got a tape to play you back at the hotel
I be like, oh swell
Unveil the numeric code to dial my room
And tell them to call me at noon
But of course theres no answering machine in my room
But a pretty young adorer who I swung on tour
And if it rings while were alone shell answer the phone
And with the quickness shell recite like a poem
Hey, you done did the right thing, dial up my ring ring
Now youre waiting on the beep
Say, I would love if youd sing
The tune to Tru instead of fronting on the speak.
So no problemo, just play ya demo and at the end its break out time
Please oh please dont press rewind cause Ill just lay it down the line
Hey how ya doin
Sorry ya cant get through
Why dont you leave your name and your number
And Ill get back to you
Hey how ya doin
Sorry ya cant get through
Why don’t you leave your name and your number
And we’ll get back to you, peace.
Yo whats up man, this is Ronald Master down with the Fish Tank
Posse, man, you know man, so you know you can just hook
Me up, True. You know we got this fly new jam called Swimming In the
Fish Tank, you know we gonna rock it man, you know
What Im saying, but I just need your help, Prince Paul gave me your
Number, you know man, you just gotta do that for me
Got this fly bassline, got these fly trombones in it man, so just hook
Me up, man, just look out, all right, call me back
At 557-2223 all right man, just look out, all right, look out for a
Brother man!

Lyrics
Mirror mirror on the wall
Tell me mirror, what is wrong?
Can it be my De La Clothes
Or is it just my De La Soul?
What I do aint make-believe
People say I sit and try
But when it comes to being De La
Its just me myself and I
Its just me myself and I
Its just me myself and I
Its just me myself and I
Now you tease my Plug One style
And my Plug One spectacle
You say Plug One and Two are hippies
No were not, thats pure plug bull
Always pushing that we formed an image
Theres no need to lie
When it comes to being Plug One
Its just me myself and I
Its just me myself and I
Its just me myself and I
Its just me myself and I
Proud, Im proud of what I am
Poems I speak are Plug Two type (type)
Please oh please let Plug Two be
Himself, not what you read or write
Write is wrong when hype is written
On the Soul, De La that is
Style is surely our own thing
Not the false disguise of showbiz
De La Soul is from the soul
And in fact I cant deny
Strictly from the Dan called Stuckie
And from me myself and I
Its just me myself and I
Its just me myself and I
Its just me myself and I
Glory Glory Halleluh
Glory for Plug One and Two
But that glorys been denied
By kizids and dookie eyes
People think they diss my person
By stating Im darkly pack
I know this so I point at Q-Tip
And he states, Black is Black
Mirror mirror on the wall
Shovel chestnuts in my path
Just keep all nuts twistin up
So I dont get an aftermath
But if I do Ill calmly punch them
In the 4th day of July
Cause they tried to mess with third degree
Thats me myself and I
Its just me myself and I
Its just me myself and I
Its just me myself and I
Contestant number four, do you have the answers?
Uhh…I saw, at the tip of my tongue...

Lyrics
(Yo, somethings wrong here. No, not again!)
(Get the daisies for the...)
Potholes in my lawn
Potholes in my lawn
Potholes in my lawn
Everybodys sayin
What to do when sucka lunatics start diggin and chewin
They dont know that the Soul dont go for that
Potholes in my lawn
And that goes for my rhyme sheet
Which I concentrated so hard on, see
I dont ask for maximum security
But my dwellin is swellin
It nipped my bud when I happened to fall
Into a spot
Where no ink or an inkblot
Was on a scroll
I just wrote me a new mo
But now its gone
Theres no
Suckers knew that I hate
To recognize that every time Im writin
Its gone
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-ay)
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-ee-hee-hee-hee)
Potholes in my lawn
Ive found that its not wise
To leave my garden untended
Cause eyes have now pardoned all laws of privacy
Even paws are after my writer
See, Ive found that everyones sayin
What to do when suckers are preyin
On my well-guarded spreadsheets
Oh why, hell does it send up fleets
Of evil-doers through the big hole
To get to evil-doers who dig holes
Which leaves my lawn with lawn-chew
I think Id better plant traces to give clues
Or better yet call 911
And when they get here I inform them Im the Plug One
Open a chair and let them realize the reason
For concern of the Soul
Cause weve come down with a case of potholes
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-ay)
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-ee-hee-hee-hee)
Potholes in my lawn
(Who stole, who stole, who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?)
Now you got the method
What to do when you die
The death that I predict in Plug Tunin
Its a shame that you deny to claim
That you stole my words of fame
That I wrote in my rhyme sheet
Which I concentrated so hard on, see
I dont ask for a barbed wire fence, B
But my dwellin is swellin
It nipped my bud when I happened to fall
Into a spot
Where no ink or an inkblot
Was on a scroll
I just wrote me a new mo
But now its gone cause those
Suckers knew that I hate
To recognize that every time Im writin
Its gone
Potholes in my lawn
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-ay)
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-ee-hee-hee-hee)
Potholes in my lawn

Lyrics
Plug One, Plug Two, Plug One, Plug Two
Plug One, Plug Two, Plug One
Answering any alter service
Prerogative praised positively Im acquitted
Enemies publicly shame my utility
After the battle their admittance Im Wit’ It
Simply soothe, well moved vinyl like groove
Transistors are never more shown with light
When vocal flow brings it all down in ruin
Due to the clue of the naughty noise called
Plug Tunin
CHORUS:
(DOOO DO, DOOO DO, DOOO DO, DOOOO DO,MMMHMMMMMMMM MMMYEAH)
Flowing in file with a new style
Barrels are cleaned then loaded for salute
Chanters with the choice standing steady like my mouthpiece
paragraph preacher is now introduced
Drums are heard sounding off IN each and every person
Vocal confetti is thrown at top stage
Roses and violets arent proper for throwin’
For showin’ appreciation, why?
This is a Daisy Age
Hands wont sweat ‘cause there’s no threat
Mic will stay dry while place at soul use
Rhymes arent fables but stable to be on time
‘Cause they’re marketed and labeled speaker Posdnuos
The Stitch will fit WIT’ every consumer
Microphone use in sales will start Bloomin’
Profit and cost could never be lost
All due to the clue of a naughty noise called
Plug Tunin’
CHORUS:
(DOOO DO, DOOO DO, DOOO DO, DOOOO DO,MMMHMMMMMMMM MMMYEAH)
Dazed at the sight of a method
Dive beneath the depth of a never-ending verse
Gasping and swallowing every last letter
Vocalized liquid holds the quench of your thirst
Reasons for the rhythm is for causes unknown
Different individuals are dazzled with the showbiz
Auditions are gathered but the Soul would just rather
Hold a count at four and in the end leave it as it is
Flow to the sway of my do-re-mi
Ill fix lunatics who will hawk
Words are sent to the vents of humans
Then converted to a phrase called talk
Musical notes will send a new motto
Every last poem is recited at noon
Focus is set, let your polaroids click
As they capture the essence of a naughty noise called
Plug Tunin’
CHORUS:
(DOOO DO, DOOO DO, DOOO DO, DOOOO DO,MMMHMMMMMMMM MMMYEAH)
Vocal in doubt is an uplift
And real is the answer that I answer with
Dying yet live, what you must realize
That the tune that I present is surely not a gift
Different in style is definite
And style which I flaunt is sure legit
Now set aside, I say I hold pride
In performing this melodic misfit
So swing ‘cause this pitcher is pitching
In sense, JD Dove is now saying
All sing along to his favorite song
While the pocket transistors are playing
least but not last, I’m frightened
For the worlds that I reply hold doom
Life of the chant can be stopped by accident
When youre tripping the wire of the plug tune
CHORUS:
(DOOO DO, DOOO DO, DOOO DO, DOOOO DO,MMMHMMMMMMMM MMMYEAH)
NO ONE THAT I KNOW CAN LIVE MY LIFE FOR ME…

Lyrics
This song does not contain explicit lyrics, but the thought is erotic. Awwww, baby!
Access to her code
Lovestruck Dove is Doves mode
Took a look, Drop my books
Jenifa, oh Jenny
Breakfast was our Greetings
Yogurts and bird seeds what I fed
Slipped a note, rocked my yacht
Jenifa, oh Jenny
Jenny, only thought about Jimmy
But didnt think about Derwin
The Jimmy whos only a virgin
Steady we go, Jenifa led
Pluggin’ Her tune was freedom well said
So whats the fix, oh Jenifa
Can a brother OF the soul get swingin?
The downstairs, where we met
I brought records, she cassettes
Lost the break, found her shake
Jenifa, oh Jenny
Transcripts showed more than flirt
I love daisies read her shirt
Grabbed my jeans, Jimmy screamed
Jenifa, oh Jenny
Morals Shaped like a vase
No one can live their life for Pos
Found HER house, aroused my joust
Jenifa, oh Jenny
Her clothes, I did shuck
Just like Dan I strictly stuck
To the punt, she cried kick it
Posdnuos was in
Jenny, only thought about Jimmy
But asked was I a virgin
Like some kid named Derwin?
She said Lets try it in the bathroom
But Dnuos is way above sinks
So to the kitchen she did Dan
And came back wrapped in Saran
Positions, Muscle Flex
Dove was lost in Aghonal-hex
Passed her test, felt her teddy
Jenifa, oh Jenny
Notions soothed the mood
Dove was lost in De La heaven
Screwed Plug Two, did the do
Jenifa, oh Jenny
Jenny teased my homeboy Granny
In fact she teased so many
She was known as a garden tool
Did her thing while I plugged once
Hope she dont fall fat nine months
From now, Ill tell you what
Trugoy aint ready
Worned out was my cater
Mind you this was three days later
The door tune blew, you guess who
Jenifa, oh Jenny
Advance to the radio
Teddy persuaded us to turn off the light
Wanted me to rhyme while she
Wrapped me up in a ball of twine
No more, I dispatched
Was it Jimmy had met his match
Or could it be the realization
All girls owned a Jenny
For normal health I had fought
A valuable lesson she had taught
Dont flaunt that the candy is good
Unless you can give plenty
