From people bustin' caps and like Mandela bein' free
It's like that man, it's like that
Check it
Hip hop will never die yo, it's all about the rap
Devoted to your lover and make it thrive
I used to down 40's and smoke grain weed
With a kick, snare, kicks and high hat
Hit the city streets to enhance my soul
Now it's time for me to take ya uptown
I can do a trick with the opposite breed
The trash you talk won't matter, that old bogus chatter
It's like that man, it's like that
To do away with you and your hum drum crew
Ladies make a forum on your sexual drive
You know you love the sound, we get down
We can get down, we can, we can get down
I'm the cherry on the top of yo ice cream
We have a slew of rappers pushin' positivity
Crushin' competition like your tires on grapes
So Marion Barry smokin' crack, let's preach about that
When the Tribe is in the house, that means nobody is safe
It's like that man, it's like that
The music of our youth from 1979
It's like that man, it's like that
Now, I'm doin' shows with half loot down
We can get down, we can, we can get down
Listen to the way we pulsate the jam
Ah, it's like that man, it's like that
Check it
Talkin' to the girl with the Liz Claiborne
Ah, it's like that man, it's like that
I'm the Mister Thought inside your dream
It's like that man, it's like that
My man where ya goin', you can't escape
We can get down, we can, we can get down
I'm not your average MC with the Joe Schmoe flow
It's like that man, it's like that
It's like that man, it's like that
It's like that man, it's like that
We can get down, we can, we can get down
If you don't know me by now, you'll never know
I can kick a rhyme over ill drum rolls
Skilled in the trade of that old boom bap
We can get down, we can, we can get down
Steppin' on my critics, beatin' on my foes
We can get down, we can, we can get down
Not every MC be with the negativity
The riff was of F, I'm a hip hop body
It's like that man, it's like that
Release my energy with the force of a shotty
How can a reverend preach when a rev can't define
We can get down, we can, we can get down
This is '93 and the shit is real
Black people unite and put down your steel
It's like that man, it's like that
It's like that man, it's like that
It's like that man, it's like that
Straight from the heart, I represent hip hop
We can get down, we can, we can get down
When I talk, I know I'm talkin' for you poppers all around
I'm the nigga here with the mic in hand
Too much candy is no good, so now I'm closin' the shop
I be three albums deep but I don't wanna go pop
My rhymes styles be blendin' like a Ron G tape
Got my Timbo horse and my Doublemint pack
Styles that we present are just a few
The more that you condemn us, it only makes us phatter
Too many candy rappers seem to be at the top
It's like that man, it's like that
Standin' on the wall with my Polo on
We can get down, we can, we can get down
We can get down, we can, we can get down
Keep the poetry in my black knapsack
The plan is to stay focused, only then I can go
We rap about what we see, meaning reality
