[Phife Dawg]

Live and direct, live and direct!

You know what live and direct mean?

Live and direct, come!!!

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, how you be, how you be?

From New York to A-T-Aliens, youknowhatI'msayin?

Word up, do it like this

Word up word up, do it like that

And you don't stop, and you don't quit

Unless you're in the studio doin wack shit

Yo check it

Boom batta, watch your teeth shatter

All that shit you pop in your jams, it won't matter

Bust your whole grill, now watch that joint shatter

I'm the Captain of the ship, FUCK a William Shatner

Emcees be poppin shit when they squeezin they cake batter

Claimin they style be fat, but guess whose style is fatter?

The ill beat jacker, emcee attacker

Fuckin with the Diggy it don't, get no blacker

Malik is Zach Taylor, ey the stress reliever

Brown eyed shorty, chocolate like Godiva

Fuck what you heard I'll make YOU a believer

Me gettin burnt, that's like a white girl named Shareema

You never see her, cause she's the black like Sarafina

Set shit off like Monifah, nickel like Khadija

So girls with fat asses and tits, nice to meet ya

Do five plus five equals ten? Ask your teacher

For God so loved the world he said Phife, ask your preacher

Love to toot my own Horne, similar to Lena

Before I take stage, I take sips of Aquefina

Fucked Judy Jetson now they call me Jet Screamer

Love my coffee dark so you can keep your dairy creamer

Tribe fallin off well youse a got damn dreamer

Hah, yaknahmean?

A word up a word up a word up a word up yo

Have you heard the one make the crowd rock?

Tribe Called Quest we haffa do it non-stop

Listen to the radio we're never goin pop cause

ya nah ready for dis yet, bwoy!

Say ya nah ready, say ya nah ready

Say ya nah ready for dis yet, bwoy!

Say ya nah ready, say ya nah ready

Say ya nah ready for dis yet, bwoy!

And we out like that, fuck that
