Lauryn: We bout to drop, we bout to drop, bring the beat up, so I can hear myself, we bout to drop, we bout to drop, we bout to drop, drop, drop, you can, bring the beat up in my head phones a little bit, bring the beat up a little bit
Wyclef: Ms Hill, let's go
L-Boogie:
I got moxy, I'm so d**n foxy
Industry try to block me like cops and paparazzi
Flowstyle don't cop me, just stop me properly
Everybody same policy, universal equality
Responsibility policy to survive economically
So people do it comically, dreams of freedom equality
Invest your money properly, people own me apology
Intellectual property, stealing stolen commodity
Souls controlling robbery, total lack of camaraderie
Clothes, copycats bother me, mono progress sorry (*see A)
Honesty, honesty, honestly, all these jokes are common-league
Puppets with no autonomy (**see B)
L-boogie walk silently (inside of me?)
Chorus
I see you looking but you better take it easy
Tell your crew I said tell em take it easy
Here's come the rocket launcher, you better take it easy, take it easy, take it easy (Lauryn: your crew too sleazy)
Too much ex mami, take it easy
Good with the sex mami, take it easy
Allright papi, better take it easy, take is easy, take it easy
Clef:
You movin bricks but you better take it easy
Here's a tip, you're too flashy
I don't tip twice, but you best bring deep heat
And that dog sniffin out back ain't Lassie
And I ain't rhymed in a minute, but ya'll ain't catch up
And that ain't blood on your shirt, man that's ketchup (That's ketchup)
Picture Clef getting a writer to give him help
I'd rather kill myself become a ghost and write for myself (OH MY GOD!!)(***see C)
Cuss I'm the top celebrity, top celebrity, top celebrity, MC (Bing!)
I flow for the thugs, gypsies, and hippies (Bing!)
A ghetto maestro with a Nat Turner flow (Bing!)
Malcolm X come out, hit the Klu Kulx Show (SHOOWOOWOO)
Chorus
I see you looking but you better take it easy
Tell your crew I said tell em take it easy
Here's come the rocket launcher, you better take it easy, take it easy, take it easy (you're too sleazy)
Too much ex mami, take it easy
Good with the sex mami, take it easy
Alright papi, better take it easy, take is easy, take it easy
L-Boogie:
Don't you know
originals get plagerized, majors minors, my supervise
haters climb and get scooped and, applicators blinding stupid guys,
wicked people choose homicide, reason society heathenin (leaving them?)
investors, bogus impeding them, nigra negra competing them,
Anthony, Joes, and Colitto then, ,chicos chicas completing them,
Addiction, fiction, bleeding them, capitalism eating them,
Misunderstanding cheatin them, the ignorance it's feeding them,
True loyalty is leaving them, got royalty believing them
Eyes open deceiving them, reconcile and receiving them,
Rappers drivin, we leavin them, Nappy Heads you impeding them, (****see D)(Slow down)
We bout to reconcile (repeat)
We bout to reconcile (reconcile)
We bout to reconcile(recon, recon, reconcile)
We bout to reconcile, (tell em to give off my style) (Slow Down)
We bout to reconcile (reconcile like Public Enemy)
We bout to reconcile (Slow Down) (reconciliation) (tell em to get off my style)
We bout to reconcile(running with my crew again)
We bout to reconcile (Slow Down) (tell them to get my off style) (repeat)
Pras:
Stop the track, what ya'll thought I wasn't coming
been in the lane, few fleece, few millions
back with the Fugees, foo-fighting for a few billions
dub plate dealing, sound boy killin
anything we do, we want that cap for me realin?
Angelo, Simone, Michelle, you know them willin,
Can't fight the feelin, when I pull in the SFR, every girl love's a ghetto superstar (that's Pras baby)
Run hip hop like pin stripe Lees and
I got love for my crew like Big had for Cease (C's)
Pull and sqeeze on these MC's,
I don't really wanna do it, take it easy
I see you looking but you better take it easy
Tell your crew I said tell em take it easy
Here's come the rocket launcher, you better take it easy, take it easy, take it easy (Lauryn: your crew too sleazy)
Too much ex mami, take it easy
Good with the sex mami, take it easy
Allright papi, better take it easy, take is easy, take it easy
We got L-Boogie in the house (Lauryn: what)
Prazwell in the house,
Clef,
Jerry Wonder, yeah
Big Ro (Rohan) I see you in the back (***** see E)
Let's get this thing started
Let's stay focus, focus, focus, focus
Oh, If you don't know what's goin on
The Fugees back on the street serious thing right now
You scared yet, ah pack your dibby dibby dub box
(Extended music, and solo by Wyclef)
