"Ga ga gangbusters!!"

[Dove]

Hey give it Boogie like the BX sex regular booger bitches

get the backseat G bumps'll make you buy tapes

Ex cape the fire tonight switch like Jekyll and Hyde

and shit wreckin we live and shit

This swamp water style'll keep em dirty and wet

I bet mills on the rhyme skills we walk away set

Rich like topsoil connect coin with currency

Places that I couldn't pronounce, and then bounce

Illegal ain't illegal if it's less than an ounce

Keep it come in T. La Rock amounts, see +It's Yours+

Study scrolls that includes the clause

Get your dirty paws out my bowl, your hustle's too old to deal

with the shuffle, you exhaust me like a muffle

Get zapped and zipped in the duffle

Came to the set splashed, no Roley on the wrist

To Hell with a guest list, we all up in this!

A two dollar somethin got your eyes on him

But yo she pinchin my ass so we go, limb for limb

Lights studio dim, it's EXACT tonight

So we can drop the Rap Delight, on one!

Just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

and just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

and just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

and just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

"Just get on down.."

[Common]

Underground under pressure, my style is the child

of a lesser, God, I Master like Farad

The sign of in between the El Rook'n, and El DeBarge

Metaphorically massage, verbal hajj

I take over breaks and chop loops

Glorifyin, one-eighty hat cats can rock in my troops

Wisdom like a tooth, mock new shits I knock loose

Datin game Thursday's I spot juice, Plug like Pos'nus

Before you get a style, let's get a style

My style has the crowd back and forth

You were soft as the tracks you rappin off, I pop shit

You tried to laugh it off, actin like you had to cough

and didn't hear it, my spirit sustains in the same pattern

emcee, familiar sample period; spottin where you sampled

your rhyme scheme from -- I ain't clearin it

I drop science and experiment -- contractually

came to terms of endearment with my label

Want to pick out a day to smack wack niggaz, I contact niggaz

like P.O.'s, you spit background lyrics, I rip Lee flows

Wipin your nose like you need blows

Claimin it's a allergy, I react allergic to cats

or is it how they word it

If you had weight it must have been some pussy you served with

Thoughts for a minute, I rode rhythms and words tenant

Many lip profess, I'm verb sentences

Just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

and just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

and just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

and just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

"Just get on down.."

[Pos]

It's like rip y'all, add it on to lip

Wonder Why's upon this, just to flex my strength

I was the one who killed wackness so I had to do a bid

of twelve years on the mic, before parole with Tommy 'Kid'

Infinite landscaper, green paper maker

Leap far from home with chrome rims and trims

Man these people still takin rappin for a joke

The pimp, I rock it one-double-oh percent

Some of you MC's should be called CM's, Carbon Monoxide

on the mic exposin your polluted bloodtype

Y'all niggaz need a visit from the Brain Fairy

Walk around dead, like your physical's buried

Wrote the rhymes durin a earthquake, cause your style's

shaky as SHIT! Just need to come clean and admit

that yo' quick draw fails the test, and mine was flawless

My DJ gave the scratch, yours was clawless

Your crew couldn't even measure to mine

That's why yo' bitches is busted, and mines is fine

Performin with an upper design, so back on off the plank

We bringin this Big and Bad like Hank

Just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

and just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

and just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

and just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

"Just get on down.."

and just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

and just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

and just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down

and just dance, you know you gots the feelin

Just dance, ah come on and get down!!!

"Just get on down.."
