Slum Village, De La Soul - Right Back lyrics

I stand before you as a man who’s more you
Meaning, I don’t shine my star
On the floor you
Keep all my awards and plaques in boxes
Which keeps my wall from saying
I already got this which keeps my humble on
The pride the softest
"Soundsoup" reversed is "Posdnous"
Known for all my lyrical complexities but
Not for all the daylight joints I produce
Survived many moons and sunlight reflect it
So in dark times my rhymes like deflect it
Occasionally eclipsed my
Transgression transmitted
Still real talk watching a man spit it
There’s nothing wrong with one
Being a door man so own the building but how
About own the floor plan
So the children can have a place to play
And open the box to admire
The plaques for a day

We put it down like that
How y’all niggas get a sound like that?
For the fans we had to give it right back
"People think this is easy as it look"
("I’m feeling you") we put it down like that
How y’all niggas get a sound like that?
For the fans that they give it right back
"People think this is easy as it look"

Damn it seems we’re the most slapped on
Fuck them other nggas no limit Master P song
Pete the other day we running
Rings like a tree trunk
Add up all the years I’m the OG of the G funk
See my position was to
Kill em with consistence
And I did it over extended and
Yes I lost some members and I miss them
I just beat the nine if
I didn’t I’d be tripping
Trying to bring the light to your existence
To melodic form I was born gifted
I ran a long distance to
Bring it to your system
Ever since his mother kissed him
Tried to bring the wisdom
Represent change how you diss them
Ain’t it hella kinda strange
Where they list them i’m not a victim
I’m just tired of nggas who
Say they know about Dilla
But they don’t know but they
Feel it the realest
They spit it like the foundation builders
With a sound so phat
My 96 raps I can bring that shit back
This is axe on four fast can relax
See my past is a fantastic pass you can ask
Uh

We put it down like that
How y’all niggas get a sound like that?
For the fans we had to give it right back
"People think this is easy as it look"
We put it down like that
How y’all niggas get a sound like that?
For the fans that they give it right back
"People think this is easy as it look"
