Lyrics
Woop woop, that’s the sound of the poor
Hey, whatever happened to the (emcee)?
Times done changed for the (emcee)
Every woman and man wanna (emcee)
But for what, I tell you (emcee)ing ain't for you
Hey, whatever happened to the (emcee)?
Times done changed for the (emcee)
Every woman and man wanna (emcee)
But for what, I tell you (emcee)ing ain't for you
Man I'm on the set like the flicks so let your cameras flash
A splash bigger than whales, I'm makin monsters mash
Spit Pinnochio's Theory when shit be looking weary
I need rest, but I boogie for now, I'm on some mess
Like the best mics respond to me
Living days, like dreams of specializing in the art that pays
I be a mystic for life, so check my ID number
Emcees be kneading dough while I make bread like Wonder
Yes, that's what you heard, so save that acting for the screen
See you can can that madness with the beans
I bust emcees like lies surprise em out the box
Put away the soda pops I’d rather rum on the rocks
A dime-getter tried to get what I got, for what?
I guess other folks' cash makes the lovin' come phat
But I'm past alla that, it's time to break with the breeze
Get to your knees, here comes the Supa Emcees
Hey, whatever happened to the (emcee)?
Times done changed for the (emcee)
Every woman and man wanna (emcee)
But for what, I tell you (emcee)ing ain't for you
Hey, whatever happened to the (emcee)?
Times done changed for the (emcee)
Every woman and man wanna (emcee)
But for what, I tell you (emcee)ing ain't for you
Within this program of rap, I'll eradicate the glitches
Yo I'm dark like Wesley, but I be sparkin’ more bitches
Entering my constellation puts your lives in jep'
While you others represent, I present my rep
Cause when it comes to making dents, I'm that main imprint
Even smoked from blunts which give eyes the reddish tint
Could not prevent, you from seeing I'm the light
But bring attention to my words like some ass in tights
I heard you want to fight me, with your words on stage
So Mase pulls that instrumental from the jam you made
And as he starts cutting what you sold, I'll talk all over your tones
As if my name was Pete Rock or Sean "Puffy" Combs
Send your tattered ass home, with celly phones I roam
With my fleet, here to make this rap game complete
While you live fables, unstable, acting very radical
Projecting like you're hard, when in fact you're quite vaginal
Whatever happened to the (emcee)?
Times done changed for the (emcee)
Every woman and man wanna (emcee)
But for what, I tell you (emcee)ing ain't for you
Hey, whatever happened to the (emcee)?
Times done changed for the (emcee)
Every woman and man wanna (emcee)
But for what, I tell you (emcee)ing ain't for you
(Supa)(emcee)
(Supa)(emcee)
(Supa)
(Emcee)
(Supa) (emcee)
(Supa) (emcee)
(Supa) (emcee)
(Supa)

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!
