[Butterfly] DPS forever hit ya' with the live stuff Suliman the Bronx Ripper on the live puff V Love, that's my money like dominoes Brooklyn do keep it rocking till the sun shows I pop my junk my junk, I pop my junk my junk I pop my junk my junk, Pop my junk my junk I pop my junk my junk, like what you want you want Pop my junk my junk, I pop my junk The noise that we made is blue, in color sound ???? that play my crew couldn't walk the new found I chalk the new sound I bop like Teddy Charles was burning when I excurse on excursions Arriving at the doors of mind shores of seas Burnt you with degrees solarly Plus my leather jacket go acid disappear in the wisp In the mist, with a fist Proletariat, Cad-i-lac steering it Fro soul gold Panther crew grab our poppers Now, I'm making bacon Still saying wa ah salaam ah lakum Fresh joints we make 'em like water Butter rap treasures at my leisure whatever whatever So I gave my mind a pound cause y'all we had it down We symbolize the blessed and represent the rest Grass in my pockets I release my hot rockets K.B. said "What you give 'em?" I was like "Mad rhythm." That's my junk
[Ladybug Mecca] Eric ???? always hits me with the live stuff Bahamadia back the sounds with the love love T.J. and Lisa real peoples 89 and still In Fort Green on diamond back is where I'm at Feelin' da funk da funk that's in the trunk the trunk I feel the funk da funk, feelin' the funk da funk I'm feelin' funk da funk I'm in the trunk da trunk Feelin' da funk da funk, I am the funk I raise everyday for the mass Tote my fist right up right against the fascist Descend to my borough digs my diction It's way on time ???? So watch fifth line still shining I'm left this year a ???? player In my vein lives bell hooks Derrick Bell, Reggie Butler See Marvin knew it, and Sly knew it Cube know it and now we do it outta Brooklyn Outta sight brown sandals ???? in M.C.s with angles Commit to street corners where players be jayin I'm saying a Digable swinger Word to mouth brought the clout 'specially in the summer We vanish like vapor Burn paper We deal real-real so chill We linger in the funk
[Butterfly] Yes Yes, bus stop what's (Watts) up On the script side Low down the whole mix and flips I 63 Jay be
We like the breeze flow straight out of our lids Them they got moved by these hard-rock Brooklyn kids Us flow a rush when the DJ's boomin classics You dig the crew on the fattest hip hop records He touch the kinks and sinks into the sounds She frequents the fatter joints called undergrounds Our funk zooms like you hit the Mary Jane They flock to booms man boogie had to change Who freaks the clips with mad amount percussion Where kinky hair goes to unthought-of dimensions Why's it so fly cause hip hop kept some drama When Butterfly rocked his light blue-suede Pumas What by the cut we push it off the corner How was the buzz entire hip hop era? Was fresh and fat since they started sayin audi Cause funks made fat from right beneath my hoodie The puba of the styles like miles and shit Like sixties funky worms with waves and perms Just sendin chunky rhythms right down ya block We be to rap what key be to lock
But I'm cool like dat [x7] I'm cool...I'm cool...
[Ladybug]
We be the chocolates taps on my raps Innovates at the sweeta cat naps He at the funk club with the vibrate Them they be crazy down with the ?five plate? It can kick a plan then a crowd burst Me I be diggin it with s bump verse Us we be freakin til dawn blinks an eye He gives the strangest smile so I say hi (wassup) Who understood yeah understood the plan Him heard a beat and put it to his hands What I just flip let borders get loose How to consume or they'll be just like juice If its the shit we'll lift it off the plastic The babes'll go spastic Hip hop gains a classic Pimp playin shock it dont matter I'm fatter Ax Butta how I zone (man Cleopatra Jones)
And I'm chill like dat [x7] I'm chill...I'm chill...
We get ya free cause the clips be fat boss Them they're the jams and commence to goin off She sweats the beat and ask me cause she puffed it Me I got crew kids seven and a crescent Us cause a buzz when the nickel bags are dealt Him thats my man with the asteroid belt They catch a fizz from the Mr. Doodle-big He rocks a tee from the Crooklyn non-pigs The rebirth of slick like my gangsta stroll The lyrics just like loot come in stacks and rolls You used to find a bug in a box with fade Now he boogies up your stage plaits twist or braids
And I'm peace like dat [x7] I'm Peace
[Butterfly]
Check it out man I groove like dat I'm smmoce like dat I jive like dat I roll like dat
[Ladybug]
Yeah I'm thick like dat I stack like dat I'm down like dat I'm black like dat
[Doodlebug]
Well yo I funk like dat I'm fat like dat I'm in like dat Cause I swing like dat
[Butterfly]
We jazz like dat We freak like dat We zoom like dat We out...we out...
Butterfly searchin for a relax Pullin from the jazz stacks cause it's Sunday On the air is incense sounds to the ceiling Tried to get this feelin since Monday Lookin out the window watchin all the people go Buggin off a funny vibe cause now it seems they're equal Wonder what would 'trane say wonder what my pop say Buggin off the calmness in the Apple
Who me I'm coolin in NY, I'm chillin in NY The hoods is on my block and the brothers at the court The baseball hats is on and the projects is calm Dreamtime's extended - and highly recommended But early birds like me's up checkin out the scene The early worms jog, forget about your job Just come dig the essence while the decadence is hidden When people act like people the theory? If you know the norm it's like Hades transformed On sunday's early hours the city sprouts its flowers So get with the rhythms while you gettin with the planets Vibe off the jams but don't take them for granted
We venture through the streets in search of funky beats Extensive is the travels and it's heavy on the sneaks Ye it's kickin out the speakers of the sunday morning jeepers My man do planets do it lovely? Am I my brother's keeper?
We foot it to the park where the swoon units walk And sit with the phoenicians diggin on musicians Hangin with the rebels sippin on a Snapple Buggin with my crew just trippin in the Apple You be thinkin peace when you're vibin with your flock But you be thinkin damn everybody's got a glock If you got some beef please express that in silence Or else - violence
But right here is the life it's the children of the concrete Livin off the fruits and the functions of the fat beats Hip-Hop's all around the members is growin Please dig on the sounds cause the good vibes they snowin
Wake up, prayin' that the game's on Maybe it's the Runnin' Rebs, maybe it's the Knicks Maybe it's a rerun of an old tv show Like hawaii 5-0 or karate flicks Maybe if the phone rings butterfly will take wings Speakin on some cool things frontin like I cope Born under flat ground now I'm chillin shaky ground Reachin for pacific heights sunday is my rope - dig it
Sunday's to relax Some Sunday morning drama is callin up my mama The hot line is in I guess the ? knew the deal Vibin off the jams of the crews on Sugarhill Lay around and think ain't nothin to do Checkin out some frommes, some satre, camus Mingus's Ah Um, damn Roach can drum The DP's are life there they go here they come It's time to grab some loot put on the timber boots Checking out some dollies/dali's like tasha and kamali NY is a museum with its posters and graffiti If you're in the city on Sunday Come check me, get with me
