Oh, he said that the beats are finished I guess all that's left to do is just remix it You say you wanna help, okay, how about you set the table And what's this, a beautiful patch cable, for me? Really, you shouldn't have Please excuse me, I'ma just go and grab A spare apron to keep your gear fresh Format, where's the food, it's rude, we have guests
[CHORUS: Abdominal] Dinner's served, so yo, come and get it Abdominal and Format cookin up the splendid Concoctions, explosions of flavor Check the ill culinary behaviour You need seconds? Yo, come and get it Abdominal and Format whippin up the splendid Delicacies, explosions of flavor Check the ill culinary behaviour
[VERSE 2: Abdominal] Okay, you're right here, and if you could sit there Format needs the chair closest to the kitchen In case he needs to fix the snare Which I'm sure will be crispy enough Ah-ah-ah, we're all hungry, but before we tuck In and stuff our faces, we really must say graces My turn, so here goes, Lord, thank you for bangin beats we lace And of course the microphones that we rap into Amen, that's through, so let's eat, pass the loops, bro Soup? No, I said loops, so Delicious with the fishes, nutritious Servin roasted rapper, that's the first dish on my wish list Just gobble it up, then proceed to lick the plate clean Taste the cuisine whipped up by the great team Of culinary experts, Ab and a digit Between 3 and 5 followed by a non-shiny finish For-mat for the punchline-inept Keep eating cause there's tons of food left Really, you just have to taste some home-cooked

[DJ Format cuts up] (Actin ill) (Actin ill) (Actin ill) (The behaviour) (Actin ill) (Actin ill) (Actin ill) (Watch your behaviour)
[VERSE 3: Abdominal] I got the feeling that everybody is ready for dessert to be served But before I bring it out I got somethin to say first Abdominal Junior, you will get nothing, young man Until you finish those breaks on your plate Cause all across the land there be starvin MC's Who'd be happy to rock to beats like these You should be a little bit more considerate And think of this before pushing your dish away without finishing it And while I'm at it, get your elbows off the damn console Really, where's your manners? I'm ashamed to have to scold you right in front of our guests But you leave me no choice I'm truly sorry that I had to raise my voice But my son's behaviour simply inexcusable And if I don't see some improvement soon, my fuse'll blow Is that clear, mister? Good, I'm glad we understand one another Now go help your brother Little Format Clear the table, put the leftovers in some Tupperware So tomorrow we'll have supper prepared Oh what's that, you say you must be leaving? Such a pity, what a lovely evening Well, thanks for coming, we must do it again sometime I hope you ate enough - of our beats and rhymes
[CHORUS]
(Ill) (behaviour)
(This mornin for breakfast I had bacon, egg and chips Three cups of tea, a man to smack me lips I said to John me husband, "Ain't I gettin fat?" He said, "Not really, love, I like ya like like that" But he's kiddin, you know? Why do I got to be fat? Why have I got to be fat? And then for lunch I had...)
[Abdominal] I like to rap a lot so permit me to rap a little My name is Abdominal I'll make you laugh and giggle Just like a little schoolgirl when I'm touching the mic Me and a crap rapper? Nothing alike Cos they crap, and I'm not Could you demonstrate? Why not Let me take this little opportunity so soon you'll see How you and me be different when it comes to fluency The crowd be rooting me and booing thee First to hit 3 lines that you be polluting the Atmosphere with, you'll get subjected to scrutiny Stupidly oblivious to the soon-to-be mutiny on the Part of the crowd,,eventually even your crew will be like "Abdominal is pretty damn good" But that's what I've been trying to say man Would you remove those bananas from your earholes and pay attention In the long run this will bring everyone less tension And I won't be forced to have to hit you with these vicious battle raps But really less battle raps than straight up facts Kinda like a news report Untrue? Fuck you be this Jews retort! You'll lose the sport, can't you see the predicament? Nurse, gauze, and lots of ligaments Victim sent courtesy of a friendly neighbourhood Abdominal Doing his best to fill the hospitals They say he's some sort of musical vigilante On a one-man crusade to do away with anything even remotely wack He rips the lips off of rappers and frees the tracks We really can't thank him enough I'd love to shake his hand Say thanks for taking a stand evacuating the land of the uncreative and bland "Doctor is it true when they say that he's as handsome as a deity" Like a chiselled greek god, plus nimble like a tree frog But with the strength of 10 men, who each possess the strength of ten men! "In other words the strength of 100 men?" Nurse, please dont interrupt me when I'm in the midst of a descriptive homage to this folk legend Rumour has it that he's bench-pressing At least 400 pounds and that's with the left arm alone! What about the right? Writing poems Simultaneously, insane ya can see but that's the type of mc that we're Dealing with here, highly creative annunciation impeccable Delivery style versatile very flexible breath control unparalelled In his line of work his rhymes will hurt these spineless jerks Yeah they'll still find the time to flirt, with all kinds of skirts "He should try a nurse" keep your mind on your work Like he keeps his mind on the verse when he's timing his words You could set your clock to the rhyming ya heard eminating from between the two lips Of the ABD-om-INAL, suckers think they swell He'll be like "hmm pray tell" They straight K-Tel wheras he be cold chilling Steady knocking fillings outta mouths of super-villains And then charging 'em for dental repairs Lay em down gently in the dental chair Fasten the bib, a real no-brainer Next step in the procedure administer the novacaine Or better yet a more effective anaesthetic Like a pint of chilled rubbing alcohol for the vocally pathethic Once theyre snorin the work commences by this Blood-splattered, demented dentist Dr. Abdominal extracting tongues, rendering wack rappers dumb Some who look like they got a bit of endurance Also get their lips sewn shut for assurance I know it sounds harsh but he can't be sympathetic In his war against the wackness it's an epidemic Spreading over cities nations and continents Abdominal heaven-sent antidote, through dopeness With a 'M' on my chest, for microphonist
