It's the F-L-O-B-O-T-S

What did you expect?

You wanted us to move you right to left

Live and direct…

Butterfly wing flap whole thing change

One look two different book same page

Front on the range but the beat's contage

Stuck to your feet for 3, 4 days

It's real too real like film projectors

Bend the letters

To find the nectar

It is effective

It will protect ya

From them spectres

Don't let 'em get ya

How'd they escape the rat race?

How'd he make that sound with that bass?

The roof is ablaze so break the glass case

Song so big affect the tax base

Don't drink the potion

Split the ocean

Holy moses

Pharaoh's forces

Let my people go with purpose

Turn the tide with forward motion

How does it feel to unglue?

Where do you think we've come to?

What does it take to follow through?

Who is it making you move?

Heavens to murgatroyd

The situations purgatory

Brer Rabbit's stories

Burn categories

The allegory is Adam's story

On the eve of something glorious

Us against them

Won't bust the system

But trust the pistons

The engines misspent

Our thrust is intense

Combustive intent

Boom Jonny 5 better yet Juan Cinco

Rhetoric rep for my Colorado lingo

Whatever preterit's wet by my ink flow

Is spelled out B4 (Bingo!)

Get it?

Because I Never Get Outwitted

Bold-faced type all capped like a fitted

Make ya move even if you're arthritic

Something that you thought I wouldn't do, I did it!

How does it feel to unglue?

Where do you think we've come to?

What does it take to follow through?

Who is it making you move?

It's the F-L-O-B-O-T-S

What did you expect?

You wanted us to move you right to left

Live and direct…

Lalalalalalala...

laaa,lalalala...

It's a quilombo!

With Kenny O on the drum roll

We rocket like Dikembe Mutombo

Djembe to bongo to MPC

We unload and win MVP

So let's be old fashioned

Put the beat on blast

And leave a lil' something like a geocache

And if anybody wanna smurf wif me

We can take this to the nursery

Like hickory dickory rhyme so slippery

This emcee that emcee

Wish they could switch currencies like a battery

Disbelieve flattery

Realistically it can just be a smattering

To sit and watch the needle peak with Mario C

Reppin CO and 303

Speak up girl even if it's what's they're against

Do the Hellen Keller and confront male arrogance

How does it feel to unglue?

Where do you think we've come to?

What does it take to follow through?

Who is it making you move?

It's the F-L-O-B-O-T-S

What did you expect?

You wanted us to move you right to left

Live and direct…

Lalalalalalala...

laaa,lalalala...

(4x)

It's the F-L-O-B-O-T-S

What did you expect?

You wanted us to move you right to left

Live and direct…
