Diamond D, The Psychotic Neurotics - Check One, Two lyrics
[Diamond D, The Psychotic Neurotics - Check One, Two lyrics]
Yeah, going out to Showbiz, Whiz One
Lord Finesse
Jazzy Jay, my man Q Tip, KX, yo check it out
Check one, two, no one to run to
I Catch-22, when I began to
Express myself on the lyrical tip
Ayo I'm dip and I'm as smooth as Mircale Whip
But some try to flip, and claim I'm not legit
Say I need to quit
(Ayo he's on some other shit)
Yeah, but I grab your attention
And bask in wealth, ayo I'm something else
The sound is raw
Don't need a million samples
The kids just love it, next year my budget
Will be much fatter, because of my platter
See I'm the flavor in the Hip-Hop batter
Schooled in the trade so I'm gonna stay paid
Made in the shade from the tracks that I laid
(Wooord up) like the golden goose
And it's good for the gander
On the DL, don't need propaganda
So put that in your pipe and smoke it
I took a blues break and I broke it
See I'm swift with the words and
The verbs and the pronouns
Yeah, it's Diamond D with the dope sound
That you hear when it's pumping in the Benzi
From Edenwald all the way down to McKinley
I pay the bills from the use of my lingo
Don't try to play me or
You'd better play bingo
Or Monopoly, by Milton Bradley
I had to school another brother, but had he
Only took a second
And checked the track record
He would have seen that I'm solid
So gather round there's a new hombre in town
Influenced by James Brown
It's Diamond D with the sound that pumps
And like Bambaataa, I won't fake the funk
Peace to Master Rob and the Ultimate Force
The 90's are here and we're
On the right course
With the flavor that you savor and
You know that it's true check one, two
"Check one two and you don't quit" - Stezo
Check it out
I get hype when I kick the ballistics
And get paid from the use of my linguistics
The style is dope even though it's simplistic
Soda breaks me out, so now I drink Mystic
At the rest I listen to the Stylistics
Break down rappers as if they had cystic
Fibrosis, never snacking on a Hostess
Or pork rinds (nah) none of that swine
Word got around that my shit is booming
It ran through the Bronx
Just like Paul Newman
Now everyone can get a sample
Of the skills that
Won't trample when I build an
Example of the will that's
Stronger than Sampson, see I'm the champ, son
When I relax, I'm off to the Hamptons
Compare the sound to another, and let's see
I slam shit up like Wayne Gretzky
So hey baby, what's happening?
(What's happening?)
Yeah, it's Diamond D with the
Verbs and the acronyms
"Sing a Simple Song" like Sylvester Stone
(And I) Catch you out there like Rick Cerrone
Mature enough to be on my own
And all my beats are stone to the bone
So grab a chair and sip on some Giacobazzi
I stimulate your brain like a game of Yahtzee
Yeah, the New Jack with the new rap
(How'd you do that, Diamond D?)
Because their styles are full of words
By any name that you ever heard
I find it, quite interesting (You know?)
But it doesn't mean a thing
Yeah, I flip styles the way
You flip a flap jack
It's Diamond D with the fat tracks
Originality, my concepts are endless
Straight up grit, I'm simply stupendous
My words hug the beat like
A pair of vice grips
So don't sleep cause you might slip, peace
