Q-TIP: Girl meets boy on Thursday night Boy was high, girl fly like kite They hold hands until next day Boy then lets go, hit his way Boy rules butt, brags to his boys Erection brings bad boy joys Boy thinks of that big fat back Big black fat love, big black fat Girl calls boy to stand him up on Saturday Saturday POS AND Q-TIP: Saturday, it's a Saturday It's a Saturday, it's a Saturday Saturday, it's a Saturday Saturday, it's a Saturday POS: Back once more with the wallop in the score Must I ride and rip, should I make you rock your hip Reviver of a roller-boogie in a rink And sure to make you think about the times To scope fun instead of fights (But diving from a piece of metal sure to take your life) Yo, slip your butt to the fix of this mix Toss that briefcase, it's time to let loose 'Cause you've worked like heck to get the week in check So unfasten that noose around your neck Connected like a vibe from the wheel to the foot Come on everybody dig the funky output VINIA: Five days you work One whole day to play Come on everybody, wear your rollerskates today It's Saturday, Saturday Saturday, it's Saturday Saturday, it's Saturday Saturday, it's Saturday-ay (Is the word, is the word, is the word) POS: Now as you pump your fist I reminisce To a bounce, rock, skate, roll Fess to impress Hey, pretty diamond, do you like the way I'm dressed Cool, keep the faith and be my mate 'Cause all we need is feet (And rollerskates) But promote the hustle 'cause it keeps me thin No need to talk, look who just walked in Charle Brown: (Is there a Dred on skates?) Dove Yes, man (So kick the wham on this jam) Oh Mr. Sprinkler, Mr. Sprinkler Wet me for one, Mr. Sprinkler I'm heatin' high-five in a daze, no split With a yawn I trip to the dawn Out comes the bodies following the one idea It's clear, rattle to the roll Hold back up the track, grab your rollerskates y'all And let's zip on by Zip-a-de-doo-dah, let's zip on by Feed on a weed and we're feeling high Sun is on thick and the cheese is rollin' quick Come on, there's no time to hide Season is twist, spinning and winning No hackeysack, let let me in Spill on the bottom away, but it's okay, huh It's a Saturday POS: Now let's all get baked like Anita Q-TIP: Watch Mr. Lawnge, don't look at the peter DOVE: Feel on the fun, I'll feel on the VINIA: Hey, watch that! DE LA SOUL: It's a Saturday VINIA: Now is the time To act the fool tonight Forget about your worries and you will be all right It's Saturday, Saturday Saturday, it's Saturday Saturday, it's Saturday Saturday, it's Saturday-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay (Aaoww) (Saturday) (Saturday) (Saturday) (Saturday) (Saturday) (Saturday) (Saturday) (Saturday) http://www.youtube.com/wa...RthFAsiQLY | |

This verse from Kelvin Mercer (Posdunous) is probably my favorite of the decade:
I got verb skills, babies and bills, brothers who smoke krills and still tryin to get himself together from it Knowin he can't quite run it like me I'm on the cutting edge of what's alleged to be, hot And when you rock, it's just impersonations of me The rightest MC, MP with the V in the middle I belittle your plan, courtesy, of NY dirty C my man My base of fans are made up of many; with kids allergic to belts letting they mind melt from drinkin the Henny And them straight and narrow types who be waitin to hear them drums say the revolution is near - are you listening? Are your eardrums open for christening? We God Body MC's with these tools While some others play God, they just god damn fools with it I don't cuff mics, I rough mics up rough and rugged Get the girls to love it Still and all five-oh came to my mic check Tellin me I left lacerations around my mic's neck Domestically disputed and you just might get the undisputed underdog servin y'all threat Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

Mary had a little lamb

Ah yes, arguably the most underappreciated rap group of all time. Here's my fave De La cut of all timers "The Bizness":
And and bass up the track a little bit
Cuz I I'm here I wanna hear that boom bish boom, knowhatI'msayin? Yeah yeah you know the bizness Common Sense, soul with the De La Get all them play-ahs We the rhyme sayers Huh, and that's the bizness, hah Gonna do it like this Gettin it that Like the Chicago streets Verse One: Dove I speak divine of God theories, no need to be high Always exhale the facts cause I don't inhale lie Play the greater man's game, to balance off my losses So I can earn the acres (uhh) the houses (yeah) the horses (huh) Of course it's much greater than your Benz or your Lex The engine to my comprehension is just too complex Much too complex, effects be live like Das Making moves down South, to avoid the chaos And never, flaunt the coin cuz dime-getters be gazin They call me Luther Van, they say my style is so Amazin I'm fazin those who're supposed to have the last laughter Cuz even when I'm gone I'm reappearin in the after I haveta, send respects to real money makers Don't connect with those champagne-sippin-money-fakers Taste the quarter pound with spice from Chi-town Now what that prove, you're so full you can't even move Chorus: Cause I'm the D-to-the-O, the-V-to-the-E And can't another brother cook these delicacies Well I'm the P-L-U, the G-to-the-One Walk around the planet earth making money having fun And I'm the C-to-the-O, double-M-O-N I sit and think with a drink about how I'm gonna win I'm the C-to-the-O, double-M-O-N I sit and think with a drink... Verse Two: Common Do you wanna be a MC? Or do you wanna serve Do you wanna be dope? Or do you wanna deal it Fabricated acryllic, I feel it, I'm the style molester I do a show get Extra P's like the Large Professor In fact I get more hoes than Tessa, peep game like a refa-ree in soul control of my desti-ny, in the best of, three out of five Whip ANYBODY ass at NBA Live, rappers take a dive like Greg Louganis with his bitch-ass Rather be in Bebe's alley, than at the click with gators Not a hater of the players, I'm more like a coach, or an owner I Used To Love H.E.R., but now I bone her (ahuh-hah!) At one point in rhyme I thought I lost my erection But then I got it back with the Resurrection, blessings upon rhymes old man who called him traitor Big Com Stradamus niggaz styles I predict Chorus: I'm the C-to-the-O, double-M-O-N I sit and think with a drink about how I'm gonna win And I'm the D-to-the-O, the-V-to-the-E And can't no other brother cook these delicacies Well I'm the P-L-U, the-G-to-the-One Walk around the planet earth making money having fun Walk around the planet earth making money having fun Walk around the planet earth making money having fun Verse Three: Pos I'm the most from the coast of the Eastern flave Droppin more knowledge than litter, on the New York pave It's me, wonder why, in the place to be Certified, as superior, MC While others explore to make it hardcore I make it hard for, wack MC's to even step inside the door Cause these kids be rhymy, sometimy And when we get to racing on the mic, they line up to see the lyrical killing, with stained egos on the ceiling My rhymes escalates like black death rates Over musical plates, being played as the rule Kids thinking stepping to the Soul, you're labeled fools who claims to drop jewels but for now you do the catching I don't worry on what crew you run, or what section of earth you reside, you're not even a man So I don't deem it mandatory taking your pride But I will, cause my man said Soul for the life You cried "Keepin it real", yet you should try keepin it right That's understanding microphone mathematics Which leads to currency and temporary world status And when one shows he posed threat to this one This one will make that one into none Simple equation, zero, you shouldn't play hero If you can't stand Strong like the Island I'm from Chorus: Now I'm the P-L-U, the-G-to-the-One Walk around the planet earth making money having fun Yeah, and I'm the-C-to-the-O, double-M-O-N I sit and think with a drink about how I'm gonna win And I'm the D-to-the-O, the-V-to-the-E And can't another brother cook these delicacies See can't another brother cook these delicacies See can't another brother cook these delicacies Outro: Common Ahh that's how, that's how I'm supposed to do my thing huh Like triple it, alright That's how we do it, all the way from Strong Island to Chicago The type of freestyler flow Yeah, it's fluent, and we don't need to flow no more Hah [Edited 8/7/08 17:01pm] nWo: bboy87 - Timmy84 - LittleBlueCorvette - MuthaFunka - phunkdaddy - Christopher
