[Black Eyed Peas, De La Soul - Cali to New York lyrics]
As soon as A La stepped off (The floor)
People started hollerin' (For more)
Beggin us to bless 'em with an (Encore)
You know the Peas they game to that
(For sure)
No matter what the coast we, be on
Pacific or Atlantic we, stay strong
Foreign or domestically, we conquer
All obstacles professionally and rock on
And that's exactly how we made it rock
(Made it rock)
We turn this on and then we make it hot
(Make it hot)
We also known to cause a state of shock
(State of shock)
We start at 2 then go to 10 o'clock
(10 o'clock)
10 o'clock the next day that is (Day that is)
No matter what city or state that is
(State that is) don't ask no questions
That's the way that is (Way that is)
Don't ask no questions
That's the way that is
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Sticky like cous-cous y'all (Cous y'all)
Be the words that I ap-ply (Ap-ply)
My peeps mass, karma NY (NY)
Check it out, you see you other emcees
Sound like brother emcees
Raised by the same pop and mother emcees
While I got a lot of brand in my name
I'm recognizable leavin me the cash amount
That's quite sizable
Rich in that english that's broke as hell
That's why my niggas in the
Hood understand me so well
Its the modern rap type talk
Used to walk, all over your ears
You hear the thump, this track pumps like
Well order
Some others fell short of the line of finish
You didn't practice harder at the scrimmage
Now my image is the golden cup
My career is dirty compared to yours
It's all washed up
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
We, we, we, we regulate and cross plates
Destruct ya
Toss coins to distract it and we bust ya
Minds blow bigger than tempers out in Russia
Cuss like a sailor
Make you shame like thelya
Stitch a verse tailored to fit
Spray paintin' your spit
On the deco we art, spread apart
I raid mo' tracks than
Flicks in "Beat Street"
With kicks until the sole
Soul wear out, never that! We weather that
You light in the ass and feather that
Heavy like black leather coats
You pleather that
Last dick on the line, we way ahead of that
Squeezin' like Freddie Foxx
And his two Glocks
Rocks don't impress niggas who speak to God
We get jams to make a tuna melt
Held down by the BEP, we strictly, new getty
Two-fifty up in front of the mic
So what it look like?
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
People started hollerin' (For more)
Beggin us to bless 'em with an (Encore)
