[De La Soul - I Can't Call It lyrics]
Yeah yo
To all my thrillas on the east
(I can't call it)
To all my thrillas on the west
(I can't call it) "Hello" -scratched
To all my thrillas inbetween
(I can't call it)
You're bearing witness to the best
(I can't call it) "Hello"-scratched
Now other kids tried to be pros
Well I'm protein
And real live inserted inside
Rap and soul fiends
There's a million MC's in the world tonight
Who's not gettin' down cause they
Know them Stakes got High
And them Stakes got High cause yo
That's how it is man
I'll take the Markie up outta the Biz
Just to hang up place the name onto headline
"Appearing live De La Soul" first up to shine
It be me
While I arose from the shores from Long Isle
While little girls sport swollen stomachs
Like they in style
While their man hairline recedes cause
They fashion from dust
That's why we all lust to live
And ah live to lust
(I send a scream to my nigga Busta Bust)
Down down will be some intricate
Word play comin' around
I'm not gay but I'm quick to
Say Mase is my man
We done rocked from NY to Osaka, Japan
(From Osaka, Japan) I land back in NY
So don't test the world travelers
We off to apply
Cash the check cause we knows the D
Peace to all them MC's who got a
Child and record companies to feed
So all my thrillas over seas
(I can't call it)
To all my thrillas makin' G's
(I can't call it) "Hello"-scratched
(First tell 'em your name)
(And what you come here for?)
To say these rhymes in your direction
See your selection keep me
Frownin' crown you niggas (true dat)
Shared a bottle with my
Crew and takin' swiggas (who dat?)
Ain't no need to said no
Names we just revealin'
That my family keeps on top like a ceiling
Dealin' like a gamble ain't
No ramble or roast
(I heard you showerin' shit
From coast to coast) so how you call it when
You niggas alcohol it?
I be calm in the corner
Soothing stress like a sauna
Gonna (gonna) take my time (my time)
To raise my (Hey Young World)
Inspired by Rick and Vance Wright
Trying not to boogie with the devil take
My lessons just to keep my dance tight
Phatter (fatter) than a waist 55 on the mic
And if ya wanna bug then do what cha like
And if ya wanna bug then do what cha like
Self expression makes it health
For self aiight
To all my thrillas in the north
(I can't call it)
To all my thrillas down south
(I can't call it)
And all my thrillas inbetween
(I can't call it)
We about to be the hell out
(I can't call it) "hello" -scratched
"I really had a ball" -scratched
To all my thrillas on the east
(I can't call it)
To all my thrillas on the west
(I can't call it) "Hello" -scratched
To all my thrillas inbetween
(I can't call it)
You're bearing witness to the best
(I can't call it) "Hello"-scratched
Now other kids tried to be pros
Well I'm protein
