[00:03.91]
[00:12.88] Back in the days on the boulevard of Linden
[00:27.74] We used to kick routines and presence was fittin'
[00:30.11] It was I the abstract
[00:31.75] And me the five footer
[00:32.81] I kicks the mad style so step off the frankfurter
[00:35.14] Yo Phife you remember that routine
[00:37.13] That we used to make spiffy like mister clean
[00:39.71] Um um a tidbit um a smidgen
[00:42.33] I don't get the message so you gots to run the pigeon
[00:45.22] You on point Phife
[00:46.21] All the time tip
[00:47.21] You on point Phife
[00:48.27] All the time tip
[00:49.40] You on point Phife
[00:50.77] All the time tip
[00:52.02] Well then grab the microphone and let your words rip
[00:54.89] Now here's a funky introduction of how nice I am
[00:57.21] Tell your mother tell your father send a telegram
[00:59.52] I'm like an energizer 'cause you see I last long
[01:02.02] My crew is never ever wack because we stand strong
[01:04.84] Now if you say my style is wack that's where you're dead wrong
[01:07.84] I slayed that body in El Segundo then push it along
[01:10.14] You'd be a fool to reply that Phife is not the man
[01:12.51] Cause you know and I know that you know who I am
[01:14.82] A special shot of peace goes out to all my pals you see
[01:17.32] And a middle finger goes for all you punk MC's
[01:19.63] Cause I love it when you wack MC's despise me
[01:22.00] They get vexed I roll next can't none contest me
[01:24.18] I'm just a fly MC who's five foot three and very brave
[01:26.99] On job remaining no I'm chaining cause I misbehave
[01:29.42] I come correct in full effect have all my hoes in check
[01:32.25] And before I get the butt the jim must be erect
[01:34.76] You see my aura's positive I don't promote no junk
[01:37.01] See I'm far from a bully and I ain't a punk
[01:39.52] Extremity in rhythm yeah that's what you heard
[01:41.28] So just clean out your ears and just check the word
[01:44.29]
[02:04.68] Back in days on the boulevard of Linden
[02:07.05] We used to kick routines and the presence was fittin'
[02:09.56] It was I the Phifer
[02:10.95] And me the abstract
[02:12.13] The rhymes were so rumpin' that the brothers rode the 'zack
[02:14.63] Yo tip you recall when we used to rock
[02:16.94] Those fly routines on your cousin's block
[02:19.19] Um let me see damn I can't remember
[02:21.99] I receive the message and you will play the sender
[02:24.68] You on point Tip
[02:25.68] All the time Phife
[02:26.86] You on point Tip
[02:27.98] Yeah all the time Phife
[02:29.23] You on point Tip
[02:30.36] Yo all the time Phife
[02:31.73] So play the resurrector and give the dead some life
[02:34.41] Okay if knowledge is the key then just show me the lock
[02:37.09] Got the scrawny legs but I move just like Luke Brock
[02:39.54] With speed I'm agile plus I'm worth your while
[02:41.74] One hundred percent intelligent black child
[02:43.55]
[02:44.20] My optic presentation sizzles the retina
[02:46.77] How far must I go to gain respect Um
[02:49.45] Well it's kind of simple just remain your own
[02:51.88] Or you'll be crazy sad and alone
[02:53.69]
[02:54.32] Industry rule number four thousand and eighty
[02:56.94] Record company people are shady
[02:58.62]
[02:59.56] So kids watch your back 'cause I think they smoke crack
[03:02.18] I don't doubt it Look at how they act
[03:04.49] Off to better things like a hip-hop forum
[03:06.92] Pass me the rock and I'll storm with the crew and
[03:09.79] Proper What you say Hammer Proper
[03:11.91] Rap is not pop if you call it that then stop
[03:17.00] NC y'all check the rhyme y'all
[03:26.77] SC y'all check it out y'all
