| Ready in the intro, cue up the Serch-lite
|
| Point us to the center stage (I'll grab the first mic)
|
| Projectin the voice with this mic that I’m cuffin
|
| You ain’t my nucka, SUCKER I’m snuffin
|
| The word of the 3rd stands true, so no panickin
|
| (Man verse man) you freeze up like a mannequin
|
| Petrol, you let go, the wax for the new jacks
|
| to dwell upon you’re steppin on the trigger as the tune smacks
|
| (Square in the butt) Pete gave me the cue
|
| So I’ma put up or shut up until my jam is through
|
| But for now I wanna freak em, so I’ll embark
|
| to spark your mission posse, til way past dark
|
| (Don't park there’s no standin) or I’ll play the five-oh
|
| You don’t stop movin until the Serch says so To keep the tribe open, shootin out to play em Three the hard way’ll keep you steppin to the A.M.

|
| My mind has a question, I respond
|
| to a silver domed microphone (one step beyond)
|
| Straight to eighty-eight to the curves of the 90's
|
| I’m universal, I set a line free
|
| Behind me, the three the hard way, the jackpot
|
| (Awaitin Satan’s, tryin to take cheap shots)
|
| We groove crowds, the three stand proud
|
| The brothers round the way sit down and say
|
| (How'd you do this?)Ludicrous rhythm of rhyme
|
| Anticipate like a bottle of Heinz. |
| KETCHUP
|
| (No catch up!)Cause you fell behind
|
| I’m steppin to the A.M. |
| -- dickin down swine
|
| Pete Nice skims over lyrics, I pick em Strong and long, you’re wrong, I stick em
|
| (He's the law with the sword) with my cable swingin
|
| (Like _The Pit or the Pendulum_)Pete Nice bringin
|
| the sunrise with no lies, legitimate (and you despise)
|
| Envy this MC’s magnitude (so realize)
|
| The MC emceed (The DJ deejayed em)
|
| Until the next time I keep you steppin to the A.M.
|

|
| No weight on the felt plate, deep bass below rise
|
| Needle torture groove, move the record til the wack stride
|
| (Schoolin the swine on the stren>h of my vocab)
|
| Bet you wonder you’re a goner
|
| (You're thinkin that you had)
|
| Lyrics to the A.M. |
| but the house needs a swinger
|
| You st-st-st-st-stutter, but I’m a stinger
|
| (My rhymes so potent, I wrote em and it’s evident)
|
| You’re just a stunt, seekin a settlement
|
| The lyrical line (The artical original)
|
| Afflict like a convict, I ain’t no criminal
|
| Scheamin on a cable or slobbin the knob
|
| You played me like a foul ball
|
| (How you livin Hobbes!!!)
|
| Now groove into the A.M., the master spoon feedin
|
| out a jumper, you’re bumpin a freak while I’m G’n
|
| Peter let the record spin (Serch'll get a second wind)
|
| MOTIVATE THE CROWD, til it’s steppin to the A.M.

| for the A.M.
|
| I slide swiftly, keep a brother steppin
|
| (loungin, stren>h in my throat)
|
| Sweatin as you get hit with the rhythm
|
| My lines sustain like a crane, so uplift them
|
| (slow and smooth) Flowin like fluid
|
| The mass did worship the lyrics the three did
|
| (amid all crisis) Drop it like a guillotine
|
| (You're moist) fearing the voice of the rhyme fiend
|
| Scene is zipped, Pete Nice is your worst dream
|
| Fulfilled your illed I thrilled (I heard a LOUD scream)
|
| My mind is cued, so I run down a menu
|
| that downgrades the weak as my lyrics tend to
|
| (the needs of a shaker, sweatin to the point of exhaust)
|
| so listen to the mission horse
|
| Blinded by the science, my mind starts flexin
|
| Sexin down females to the A.M., perplexin
|
| a complex reflex (you wonder if we slumber)
|
| The three don’t sleep (Aiyyo Pete Nice take em under!)
|
| Steppin to the A.M., I’m steppin to the mic
|
| to snatch up and smash up the club until daylight!
