De La Soul - Down Syndrome lyrics

I be that mind blessin blessin
These lessons we've ignited
Want to bring it to my
Face man you're cordially invited
Cause I've cited
You posess no science in your thinking
So I'm gonna (never) you're blinking!

Fingers be pointin
And leakin for some finna stink
You think I'm pink I bl-l-link with
Them shades of thought and think
(and in this corner be the hush)
So play on William Rhodes
Cause at the sound of the
Bell my circle square controls
And all MC's best sweat
We bringin buckets of heat

So don't fret kid I let you
Lick the love I secrete, yo
Even my foes give me bravos, and that shows
Total domination in this rhyme complication

Yeah the skill is a cinch I
Rock the womb with a mic
And in the days of the nipple and breast
I knew de yes yes y'allin
Was the callin, clearly not for the gat
For combat
I bring a bag of my rhymes for the stat

I'm Plug One-of-a-kind
For you people's delight
And for you sucker MC's, step to your knees
Ain't no second thoughts and all
Your thoughts are from Orion
I can tell that you a devil
By them rhymes you're designin
Your play doggin tactics can't
Fuck with my facets
Just because you talk all that Glock shit
Don't mean you can rock shit!
Your identities on freeze
Just a form of protozoa tryin
To cross them seas

See high horse riders gettin
Shot by the sheriff
Cause nobody's safe from crimes
And even all you skirts need to
Checkin in your upstairs attic
Cause Mase is smackin hoes if
Hoes is startin static

Now it ain't all good when your jam goes wood
So as a deterrant, I use mental current
Got them brothers shook
Peep the look comin out of the face
Cause they all catch a bruise
From the hit's we make

Your fame and cars should
Be listed as magnets
Legends never die but they can
Get shot and killed
Ain't nuttin glitter when you're battlin MC's
You once imitated in a mirror so
To down syndrome you kneel

The same status I heard, the same nothin
My ears fears the faulty locks tryin
To lock down the stops
But I earn more than your Menudo
Or your Boyz I I Men
While down syndrome keeps you immune
To frequencies I send
Fresher than a sniff off havin
Them J in fifth i identify with your rhythm
But I exist for more than just a Benz
So mends i'm cuttin off my friends to keep
A smile calcium iron grain

Let me tell you a little
Something ‘bout the self (tell 'em, self)
I be a piece of the East coast
So give a toast to
Plug Wonder why back in the day
Who soaked his words in ginger
So when I ran a phrase in June
You didn't catch it til December
I'm a member of them kids from the inner city
Giving you kitties audible treats
You be aching for making
More money than a pagan holiday
Not from the PJ's
Yet I still got something to say

Say what man? You gritty
Like a diamond grenade
For the cameo spot you tries to fool Parade
You acrobats flip the star gazin map
For alla that you'll be the first to place
And ran it all to a waste
And all the style that you bring
(gotta make decks bend)
You gotta rip it from the start
(when the beats come in)
