At the sound of the tone, the time will be twelve A.M.Ready in the intro, cue up the Serch-lite |
|
Point us to the center stage, I'll grab the first mic |
|
Projectin' the voice with this mic that I'm cuffin' |
|
You ain't my nucka, sucker I'm snuffin'The word of the 3rd stands true, so no panickin' |
|
Man verse man, you freeze up like a mannequin |
|
Petrol, you let go, the wax for the new jacks |
|
To dwell upon, you're steppin' on the trigger as the tune smacksSquare in the butt, Pete gave me the cue |
|
So I'ma put up or shut up until my jam is through |
|
But for now I wanna freak 'em, so I'll embark |
|
To spark your mission posse, 'til way past darkDon't park, there's no standin' or I'll play the five O |
|
You don't stop movin' until the Serch says so |
|
To keep the tribe open, shootin' out to play 'em |
|
3 the hard way'll keep you steppin' to the A.M.What's the time? It's about that time |
|
What's the time? Time to get stupid |
|
What's the time? It's about that time |
|
What time is it? Shootin' for the A.M.My mind has a question, I respond |
|
To a silver domed microphone, one step beyond |
|
Straight to eighty-eight, to the curves of the '90s |
|
I'm universal, I set a line freeBehind me, the 3, the hard way, the jackpot |
|
Awaitin' Satan's, tryin' to take cheap shots |
|
We groove crowds, the 3 stand proud |
|
The brothers 'round the way, sit down an' say"How'd you do this?" Ludicrous rhythm of rhyme |
|
Anticipate like a bottle of Heinz ketchup |
|
No, catch up, 'cause you fell behind |
|
I'm steppin' to the A.M., dickin' down swinePete Nice skims over lyrics, I pick 'em |
|
Strong an' long, you're wrong, I stick 'em |
|
He's the law with the sword with my cable swingin' |
|
Like 'The Pit or the Pendulum', Pete Nice bringin'The sunrise with no lies, legitimate an' you despise |
|
Envy this MC's magnitude, so realize |
|
The MC emceed, the DJ deejayed 'em |
|
Until the next time I keep you steppin to the A.M.Two for the time, two for the timeWhat's the time? It's about that time |
|
What's the time? Time to get stupid |
|
What's the time? It's about that time |
|
What time is it? Shootin' for the A.M.No weight on the felt plate, deep bass below rise |
|
Needle torture groove, move the record 'til the wack stride |
|
Schoolin' the swine on the strength of my vocab |
|
Bet you wonder, you're a goner, you're thinkin' that you hadLyrics to the A.M. but the house needs a swinger |
|
You st-st-stutter, but I'm a stinger |
|
My rhymes so potent, I wrote 'em an' it's evident |
|
You're just a stunt, seekin' a settlementThe lyrical line, the article original |
|
Afflict like a convict, I ain't no criminal |
|
Schemin' on a cable or slobbin' the knob |
|
You played me like a foul ball, how you livin', Hobbes?Now groove into the A.M., the master spoon feedin' |
|
Out a jumper, you're bumpin' a freak while I'm G'n |
|
Peter let the record spin, Serch'll get a second wind |
|
Motivate the crowd, 'til it's steppin' to the A.M.What's the time? It's about that time |
|
What's the time? Time to get stupid |
|
What's the time? It's about that time |
|
What time is it? Shootin' for the A.M.I slide swiftly, keep a brother steppin' |
|
Loungin', strength in my throat |
|
Sweatin' as you get hit with the rhythm |
|
My lines sustain like a crane, so uplift themSlow an' smooth, flowin' like fluid |
|
The mass did worship the lyrics the 3 did |
|
Amid all crisis, drop it like a guillotine |
|
You're moist, fearin' the voice of the rhyme fiendScene is zipped, Pete Nice is your worst dream |
|
Fulfilled, you're illed, I thrilled, I heard a loud scream |
|
My mind is cued, so I run down a menu |
|
That downgrades the weak as my lyrics tend toThe needs of a shaker, sweatin' to the point of exhaust |
|
So listen to the mission horse |
|
Blinded by the science, my mind starts flexin' |
|
Sexin' down females to the A.M., perplexin'A complex reflex, you wonder if we slumber |
|
The 3 don't sleep, ayo, Pete Nice take 'em under |
|
Steppin' to the A.M., I'm steppin' to the mic |
|
To snatch up an' smash up the club until daylightTwo for the time, two for the timeWhat's the time? It's about that time |
|
What's the time? Time to get stupid |
|
What's the time? It's about that time |
|
What time is it? For the A.M.What's the time? It's about that time |
|
What's the time? Time to get stupid |
|
What's the time? It's about that time |
|
What time is it? For the A.M. |
