| It’s like Oh!
|
| Here comes another one, brother
|
| Get down with the P sound when we smother
|
| We coming through your city, stereo-wide to cover tracks
|
| And blowing wax like F Hubbard
|
| Cooler than Paisley jackets, I grab this song and hack it
|
| Pack it like the new pimp hanging off my lip
|
| They say, «Ay, big homie, yo, what’s up with the slang?»
|
| Yo, what you mean? |
| That’s some shit from way back in the day
|
| Just like the beats I rap over, more older than me
|
| That’s the style of the P, and for y’all, it’s still free
|
| Digging through old crates, just creating this sound
|
| Scribble the funky rhyme and go and put that shit down
|
| To the bottom of the barrel, Canned Funk like Joe Farrell
|
| «Upon This Rock,» don’t get socked when you chop beats
|
| We’re all about loops, jeeps in the streets with troop seats
|
| On the throne of hip-hop, alone at the top
|
| With some records we bought at your local thrift shop
|
| Mom and Pops stole my ride instead of 70's rock
|
| And a Dozey 45″ of brothers Doing the Do
|
| We traveling the globe, trying to take it back to ‘92, y’all
|
| Y’all used to it, the way we do what we do
|
| Make MCs move quick, homie, stick with your crew
|
| Don’t be trying to interrupt, ‘cause we corrupt like television
|
| People Under The Stairs, a yeah yeah, we on a mission
|
| My division persists, I tend niggas with heat
|
| Known to get drunk and beat each other in the street
|
| And you can search Montebello, Gardena, or Covina
|
| And you won’t find another on the mic that gets meaner
|
| Then the gun action at a black mob boss hit
|
| We sprinkle funk like the Jacksons, kid, can you feel it?
|
| The People Under The Stairs, we got the brand new sound
|
| We travel now, I pack the bags, 10 Eastbound and…
|
| For your MF Horn, keep these damn tracks torn
|
| Thes sworn to bring the funk on plates warm
|
| With the extra large Bitches Brew in a cup
|
| Yo, you not funking right, kid, shut the funk up and keep it movin…
|
| And sometimes, I gotta jump back and light the J
|
| ‘Cause I be tweaking off the way my skills display
|
| And you can say what you want, but I flaunt what I got
|
| To take a breen, whatever I mean
|
| And then I amsa-scram, when I come and hit your block
|
| Or watch the copper rocks fly from the one that busts high
|
| And it’s a shame how lame these sucka MCs play that game
|
| Let me sound like him, no go, you can’t win
|
| With them wack ass loops y’all stole off of Tribe vibes
|
| And admit it, the P arrives with Robbie and Sly
|
| Bringing back break beats and sending B-boys to Kaiser Permanente
|
| Foreman henty, I’mma break your synthesizer
|
| And your drum pads, your making brown people look bad
|
| And the OGs ain’t feelin it, ask my dad
|
| So if I gotta sound like y’all to represent my coast
|
| I’ma disown L.A. and take my shit on the road, it’s like…
|
| I’m sure you know this shit’s a little more iller
|
| The everybody killer, fuck ya red and blue
|
| I’m more crooked than that punk, I’m past all that
|
| Like the blunt to J Mack, we stayed laid back
|
| Like a lazy boy for all your lazy toys
|
| The off Philly for chords, out making much noise
|
| It’s the P, you little nerd, steady burning like wax
|
| The bitches with the Claps, that’s how the crowd reacts, and like…
|
| Ay-yo, we here and everywhere to tear with the snare (No, you’re not)
|
| Just like, uh, Fred Astaire, right down to Yogi Bear (Ha ha ha)
|
| That’s the way we flip (Ah, that’s the way we rip!)
|
| And want holes in jeans, are we lean like Jimmy Dean?
|
| Hey yes, we are big brother, like sauces with pork
|
| We hardcore True School, but we’re not from New York
|
| We’re universally real, from Mid-City L. A
|
| Make beats everyday, yo… what you say? |
| It goes…
|
| «That's the new color, children.» |
| «That's right.»
|
| (scratched and repeated) |
