Here we go...
|
("Okay everybody...") ("Step up to this")
|
("Sing my song") ("Step up to this")
|
("Sing my song") ("Step up to this")
|
("Sing my song") ("Step up to this")
|
|
Yo Stud, bust it...
|
Step to the rear, Grand Pu is on arrival.
|
Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called survival.
|
Runnin' round town givin' all the girls Puba snacks,
|
I wouldn't try to scale my style, you just might catch a cardiac.
|
Figured the way to get paid is to grab the mic; rehearse, ya know.
|
Smooth as Jermaine, so honey don't take it personal.
|
There's no need to try to diss the swinger,
|
baby, all you get is two snaps up and the finger.
|
The bob-a-loo bad boy, a threat to the paranoid,
|
you try to step to this? It's void!
|
A new hit from the Grand Man, with nights like the Sandman,
|
gain for awake in case I gotta stomp a head out.
|
Busted is a trick that's not up my sleeve,
|
it's possessed with finesse, and it works when I breathe.
|
Paid in the shade with an A, that's the grade,
|
with the papes that I made from this trade.
|
So get hip to the grip, you know where to slide the chips
|
if you wanna cash in on the wins.
|
Grand Puba and I love to hit skins...
|
("And you know what?")
|
|
("I've got a song to sing") ("Oh bay-bay!")
|
("I've got a song to sing") ("Here we go")
|
("I've got a song to sing") ("Oh bay-bay!")
|
("I've got a song to sing")...Follow me now.
|
("Okay everybody") 6x
|
|
Grand Puba, the higher mystic ruler, keep a 40 in the cooler.
|
She don't know me, Money Grip, you better school 'er.
|
Before I have to play her is a foul way,
|
and catch a quick short stay at the Holiday.
|
Now forecast as I won't be playin' soccer with the dreads.
|
Ballin's my hobby, doin' wonders in the bed.
|
From full-size, to king-size, to queen-size, to high-rise,
|
even bunk beds, I know how to work the leg.
|
If Pu ain't the answer, then you must be sick as cancer,
|
smooth romancer, let it ring, I'll probably answer.
|
So come take a dip with your *private dancer*.
|
Nasty, naughty, over 6' call me shorty.
|
But I'm looooong...I'm like Stretch Armstrong,
|
I go, on and on and on and on.
|
Never in a scandal and I'm never caught schemin'.
|
Knew Pu was dope ever since I was semen.
|
Swimmin' in my daddy's big nuts...
|
but now I'm scoopin' girls with the big ole butts.
|
Arise to respond for the Max-well,
|
ask well, hell, it don't even matter.
|
Puba ain't game for the shit chit-chatter.
|
"Puba's in town, oh shit, let's scatter."
|
You can hide that ass, but it just don't matter.
|
The 90s is here, Pu is on a mash-out.
|
Huns that I've done always seem to pass out.
|
But hon wake that ass up, this ain't the place to crash out.
|
You try to play me? I have to throw that ass out.
|
Foes and hoes, good riddance.
|
Cuz when Pu comes out, there'll be no skiddin'.
|
I'll slide upstairs and see Chuck at the chop shop,
|
Tell 'im fade the size, let a wolf on top. (?)
|
Reel and reel and soul to soul.
|
Honey, heel to heel and toe to toe.
|
It really doesn't make a diff, I'm not the type to riff,
|
I might smoke a spliff, but I won't sniff.
|
And ya don't stop...
|
("Okay everybody")...now I'm-a end it like this:
|
I'm like Superfly Snuka, know how to hook a hooker,
|
caught her on looker, know where I took her,
|
to the short stay, around my way,
|
and like Monie say, "it was the perfect way".
|
I caught a verse from the Christian, and it goes "Praise the Lord"
|
Skins lined up on a wharf for when I'm bored.
|
From Na-ru, I'm in the right mood,
|
and if you like the way that this flows, well that's cool.
|
See this is no illusion, the style is too confusin'.
|
If you try to bite, then you're cruisin' for a bruisin'.
|
Back up, sonny, and let me make my money,
|
then I'm straight, I got a date at 8.
|
So see you brothers later, time to motivate.
|
Yeah, now bust it...
|
|
I'd like to give a shout to my Brand Nubian brothers, Lord Jamar, God Allah,
|
Derrick X on the flex, and Alamo. And we gonna give a shout to the SD50s who
|
pumped this. And I'm-a say, yo, peace...
