808 Man |
Boring… same ol' Sunday type shit |
Man, kinda boring |
Hey you, kid! |
(Who me?) Yeah you |
Ahh what are you listenin to in that there Walkman huh? |
(The new «Gas Face» rewrote’d by K.M.D |
It’s kind of funky with a lot of bass) |
Yeah but I bet you wonder where they got the bass from huh? |
(I don’t really care) |
Don’t care? |
Well let me you this story |
Go on now, let him tell you this story |
Friday, I believe it was a payday |
Onyx, Subroc and myself goes out of subway |
To catch the X train, the drums roll Brooklyn |
Plan was a night of intense hookin |
We enter the club, where we hooked 'til we drop |
When stopped, to exit, I spoke of this prop |
Talked about her bouncing guns |
The word buns was on the tip of my fun swing |
Approached this big fat seven foot. |
Said the hood |
Sub and I geesed, Onyx sped up the block |
And it was fast, I looked back and Fats was headlockin him |
I was clockin, about two blocks per minute |
And then I thought, that voice there’s somethin definitely familiar in it |
Not long did I cram |
From the lows, I knows it was the 808 Man |
«Thump… thump… THUMP! |
They heard the.» |
Clockin crazy mileage like a 60-deck of math |
Ducked into an alley like on Kickdrum Ave |
Stopped and told Sub, but Sub was stumped |
I said do you recall the bass that thumped |
In the Jeeps of the streets, as the pedestrian bops? |
Heard with vocals where any hip-hop beat drops |
Y’know the bass fool! |
But Sub wasn’t passin it |
To escape harassment, I booked like a crook |
Out of sight, all my mics was took |
Conscience eatin me, my boy’s hooked in Hook |
Off the 808 Man, so I peeps to look |
No immediate danger did I see myself in |
Watchin 'round the block thinkin «Ehh, who’s missin him?» |
Onyx was headlocked and Subroc was half nelson’d |
Think I was wrappin up? |
Man, listen |
(Man you guys must have been really scared!) |
Was I? |
You think I wasn’t?! |
Man I was petri-scared stiff! |
(What were you thinkin about?) |
I was thinkin about my cousin Enus, if he asked me once |
He asked me a dozen times to go bowlin with him |
But still I wasn’t runnin from the Bass, Man as he walked up |
Then from the back of my thoughts I forked up |
The teachings of Mr. Hood |
And I began to recall when suddenly it dawned on me |
Lesson one — if a sucker tries to come, let him come |
By then the hood was up on me |
Lesson two was to recite the words you can’t do me none |
Even though you might be bluffin, it’s nothin |
Follow procedure and sure 'nough, no doubt |
Left that seven foot fat hood whupped out |
Lesson three said a keeper of a hood is his brotherhood |
As we helped him up he said «Damn! |
You sure pack a punch, I had a hunch you was a hood |
Well if you ever need bass, hook up with the 808 Man» |
Say word |
Man tried to get me to throw hands, I had to go HU HUH! |
Yeah check it out yo, yo that’s a tight headlock true indeed |
Yeah, the half nelson got me in a neck brace |
Yeah, but kid you know where they got the bass from now? |
(Yeah yeah, sure do!) |
Yeah yeah word |
But I’ll tell you what |
I’ll give you this exclusive K.M.D. |
album tape, unreleased! |
(Sweet, thanks!) |
(I'll let my boy Lil' Rock hear it, I’ll let Bill hear it) |
(And my mom and dad will hear it) |
Yo yo, don’t let nobody dub it, don’t let nobody dub it |
Don’t let somebody dub it, you’ll get funked |
Now scram, or 808 Man’ll do ya |
Now get up out of here, you thumpty-hump dump head |
(What?) Yeah yeah, just scram, scram |
Get out of here (808) |
