[Phife Dawg] When folks say they want some raw hip hop, guess who they quick to call? Diggy Dawg, cuz my shit be neanderthal Some call it primitive, retaining to an earlier time Can't help but go back to them years like '89 When brothers gave a damn about the beats and rhymes Now life is only by the party, ices worn by everybody But what are you saying lyrically, come on, seriously See that's what's wrong with this muthafucking industry MC's be listening to they A&R friends But they ain't your friends, they ain't into setting no trends It's all about them, and how you can make them some ends But fuck that, I'm here to make sure that skills transcend Where there's a, pad and pen, Phife gon' make 'em some yen With Mr. Fudge on his job, Hi-Tek on the blend Wifey holding me down, granny singing me hymns Urging me to praise God and keep my eyes on him Just to look is at, see him, he's a mimic to me Simply put things in perspective, on how to MC And be an all I can be, done deal, and that's real Phife the baby face of hip hop, with the raw whip appeal
[Hook: Phife Dawg (Hi-Tek)] I'm here to do what I can do, and I'm done with that (Yo, fuck that, this where the realness at) I know you fraud ass rappers can't attest to that (Yo, fuck that, this where the realness at) Real rap's aim at the wig, while rest fake jack (Yo, fuck that, that's where the realness at)
"The realness" "And that's my word" "Queens" "Into that"
