Nightmares on Wax, De La Soul - Keep On (86'n It Mix) lyrics

We just keep on rockin'

86'in it we was 5 bricks in it
Firm like a silicon tit in it
Had the sticks and the 40's all thick in it
Workin hard like we cotton-pickin it
Now we shittin it herb spittin it
Atom and neutron headz splittin it
Keep the clique you know whatever syncin it
Press the record button start printin it
Now she winkin it i's trickin it
Stuffed about a couple-a inch in it
UK represent, U-Kickin it
Wide open, stop you from blinkin it
We be overseas, battleship sinkin it
Your rhymes sound like you put no think in it
You out for the Rolly look and the mink in it
While we sportin the real roller-rink in it
Skate like we wearin the ice to infinite
Bout it like we runnin with P and No Limit
Straight and no gimmick we all bout to it


From Piccadilly Circus down to Conduit
Ask how we do it keepin the fix in it
Lay some old shit, complete the mix in it
Expenses we trimmin, I'm out to afford
I'm tryin to even see the lawn
From backyard to the brawl
From Capetown to Leeds
(we just keep on rockin)
We at incredible speeds
(we just keep on rockin)
LA over to France, we make your hoes dance
Fulfillin all your needs
(we just keep on rockin)

And wild out to London
(we just keep on rockin)
You know how we run it
(we just keep on rockin)
Whether the mountains of Maine or
Beaches out in Spain
We out to go sun it (we just keep on rockin)

Yo, take your style to the back
To the back of the bus we front seat drive
No one else stares but us
Never the act of, I activate the jam
That be my life Baby J and you know who I am
The fans pulling cameras out
Like guns to shoot
We got this rap shit tied without the suit
Lookin for loot
In all the right places to look
And tonight it's in your pocket
So pay these cooks
Cause we servin up a batch
Of the words to match
Hand delivered with some drugs
That Mace attached (Maceo)
My combos concrete, ask the fleet
Or better yet ask your crew who knows defeat
But beyond that I be the capital cat
Known to dog a girl out with wax or dat
(all that?)
Bring official illustration to woman and man
Solo, individual, group or clan
Put the chap to the neck to watch you nod
Flippin rhymes on the even, off the odd
Fresh off the pod, I got the gifted place
What you need to taste up in your face
Straight with no chase, move on and on
We splicin projects with some herbal-ons
De La never pitchin you run of the mill
So watch my infantry storm all over the hill
40 below in Alaska (we just keep on rockin)
To the folks in Madagascar
(we just keep on rockin)
When we in Philly eatin cheese
Steaks with Aunt Milly
We still gonna blast ya
(we just keep on rockin)

Up in the Alps of Switzerland
(we just keep on rockin)
To the white cliffs of Dover
(we just keep on rockin)
High tech like Japan, and out to Scotland
Where they ain't never sober
(we just keep on rockin)

It's singulary like the Odd Couple
Kinda hot on the pavement
Your style is pretty like floral arrangements
Engaged but, she bitchin bout the wedding
(word?)
Seen a lot of ass so where's my ass headin?
Miss my Pro-Keds with the
Stripes on the bottom
Always cross my t's but my i's I don't dot em
See the rules ain't the rules
If they ain't bein broke
We old-folkin it, got you smokin it
Herb communications cause we talk that talk
Whether Yorkshire or New York, New York
Deep from the sleeps
I'm gettin Nightmares on Wax
Fear can't exist if you got the facts
And if you gots to ask
Well you ain't heard about us
Holdin more cream than the
Cream in clam chowders
We deep like Parliament, parts of it
We keeps at all ease from the start to get
You can find my rhymes
Where paperbacks are sold
Place my backbone in it with my heart to hold
I work the zero with the ten in front
So what you want? How much of it and where
I'll bring it to you fair
My brothers throughout Tab call me Fly Care
Pretty babies call me baby come here
You get on the choke
As if throat was filled with strep
While I inject the mic with rep
It ain't nothin but the step to take
Never bringin it fake
Got the frontier wantin chicken
Heads with steaks
I paint this whole scene magnificent
Magnanimous
Distort the mental court, like cannibus
For those who want the play, bring the pay
While I be rippin rhymes at
The dock or the bay
Push it back on the fader
(nah turn it up kid)
While the beats stay bangin
Directly engineered (damn)

We in the bush of Nigeria
(we just keep on rockin)
Diggin the dirt in Atlanta
(we just keep on rockin)
Smokin that what in Amsterdam
Just me and my man while we duck in Dantana

Now we in the middle of Queens
(we just keep on rockin)
Jumpin like Mexican beans
(we just keep on rockin)
Peace to my folks in Iraq
We sew the whole map and stitch the inseams
(we just keep on rockin)

Word up (we just keep on rockin)
International style (we just keep on rockin)
Takin it from the US to the
UK with my man Ease
You know how we do it please oh please
(we just keep on rockin)

Tai-uli on the board (we just keep on rockin)
Cornego in the crib-o
(we just keep on rockin)
Wonderwhy in the area
ICL posse in the place to be
(we just keep on rockin)

You know how we do de La, Mr maceo
We just keepin on rockin

Brick wall way, six feet tall way
You know how we do peace
