Smooth Brother #1

"He's a SWEET soul brother"

[Pete Rock]

Soul Brother #1, here I come on the new tip

Nestle coated right, cause I'm rich thick and chocolate

Plug up any mic I'll bet you Pete Rock'll spark it

Hons always ask what's the bulge in my pocket

I tell em, "Papes," I rock them top to bottom

Never hesitate to say ("Mmm I got them")

Oppressed on the Hillside, over on the chill-side

of town, so let's get down

Funky is the word describe this Brother on a Soul mission

Hookin rugged joints, more Soul than the Soul Kitchen

CL doesn't scratch, so I won't leave you itchin

White people even say, "Pete Rock is bitchin"

Harder than the hardest, odder than the oddest

I guess that's just because I'm smarter than the smartest

So back up, clear the path hon cause here I come

Soul Brother #1

I hit harder than a kick, quick to scoop a chick

When it comes to skinz, Pete Rock got it thick

I'm not your average, everyday, one-two to the beat

and don't stop, bust the shit I drop

New style for the 90's Pete Rock's a trendsetter

I'd just be lyin if I said there's someone better

You can ask Greta, Greta with the red Jetta

Honey did me lovely and I'm glad that I met her

I come style after style, sucker MC's try to swallow

But them seem to say my style's too hard to follow

So just raise your hand and give praise to the #1

Soul Brother, who keeps the crowd in a daze

Pete Rock, and CL Smooth and if it ain't our groove

then you might not move

Remember, cause there's no need to worry none

Yo, Soul Brother #1

* Pete Rock cuts and scratches *

Soul Brother #1

Nuff respect to my man Grand Puba

Nuff respect to my man BizMarkie

Nuff respect to my man CL Smooth

Nuff respect to EPMD

I'm like high octane, with everything to gain

Those who try to step to this can catch pain

I keep a mag in the trunk of my Jag, in case some punk fag

wants to catch one bad

Soul Brother #1, and I didn't come to riff

The finesse I posess will make the hardest unstiff

I'm full of motivation handle any situation

Hon said I'm so smooth they should call me lubrication

Mr. Splendor, a good back bender

Honies always say, Pete love me tender

Call on Pete Rock, CL Smooth if you want the job done

Soul Brother #1
