Nujabes, Funky DL - Don't Even Try lyrics

Ayo, step back my voice hit the track
Consist is back putting HAC on the map
And it’s about that time to
Come correct with the rhyme
Get your feathers and climb to
Make the ladies feel fine
We shine like sunlight and make
The beat run right
Making you rock like you only got one life
Left to feel this, stepping with the realness
We deal this now it’s all about the illness
Half-stepping, never that, we roll properly
A couple hundred bucks past
Go just like Monopoly
We full flash working this
Game like professionals
Lyrically put me to work, my feet sessional
I got you open while you digest my sound
Bugging out while you watch
My record spin around
You love the way that it sound, well


Go buy it think about bitin' my style?
Don’t even try it

What you trying me for? Ayo, kid
It ain’t worth it
What you trying me for? Because
My rhyme style’s perfect
What you trying me for? You
Ain’t going nowhere with that
So don’t try it, ain’t nobody hearing that
So don’t try it 'cause nobody’s hearing that
And don’t try it, we don’t like you weak cats
And don’t try it (yeah)
It’s getting hard for you to beat this
It wasn’t worth it 'cause I
Figured out your weakness

Who’s up next? Who want to test
And make me get vexed?
Who wants to test ST while he be on decks?
You know we make people bounce
Like out-of date cheques
And take a step back like
Getting back with your ex
East London sound, incorporate the jazz step
You wanna front son? You’re walking
On your last step
Wickedly shifty, it make your crew say
You put my tape inside your box
I’ll make you press play
Erasing cats with their raps
When he pass through
Just so long as they never
Ever diss the class crew
They have to show the most respect for DNAQ
We always giving out the love
And never hate you we never ever came to do
This on some quick shh
But when we do you know
We guaranteed to rip shh
We make the loud rap cats stay quiet
Think about steppin' to D? Don’t even try it

What you trying me for? Ayo, kid
It ain’t worth it
What you trying me for? Because
My rhyme style’s perfect
What you trying me for? You
Ain’t going nowhere with that
So don’t try it, ain’t nobody hearing that
So don’t try it 'cause nobody’s hearing that
And don’t try it, we don’t like you weak cats
And don’t try it (yeah)
It’s getting hard for you to beat this
It wasn’t worth it 'cause I
Figured out your weakness

Yo, this be my last verse
The verse to be the free throw
Ayo, we breezing right through like
When the wind blows
But when the kick drum pump
We break your windows
You know when shit gets
Played just like Nintendos
Big up my man Nujabes we make the beat knock
Big up to Strumfield, Dela, and Pete Rock
I got my style on lock just like a cellblock
Cause when I ride on beats
I make your legs shocked
It’s hip hop nonstop, we elevating this
So many cats out there will be relating this
Debating this but yo we on a love vibe
Making you jump to this, we on a club vibe
Turn this music right up, I need to hear this
Lyrically as an MC, DL’s fearless
Maintaining myself to start a riot
Think about taking me out? Don’t even try it

What you trying me for? Ayo, kid
It ain’t worth it
What you trying me for? Because
My rhyme style’s perfect
What you trying me for? You
Ain’t going nowhere with that
So don’t try it, ain’t nobody hearing that
So don’t try it 'cause nobody’s hearing that
And don’t try it, we don’t like you weak cats
And don’t try it (yeah)
It’s getting hard for you to beat this
It wasn’t worth it 'cause I
Figured out your weakness
