I grew up listening to das efx and dr dre Other rap, r and b, and some shit my momma played I never knew beats were sampled That Snoop reinvented p-funk back when mtv was a decent channel Before I riggedy rocked mics or miggedy made beats Livin in safe streets with no particular day dreams Like boom box, walkman, discman Got caught in the corner playing ball - I couldn't switch hands Mary and Meth put together \"all I need\" Sugar hill/doe or die by miss jones and AZ You know how that go With the collabo Melodic hook, hypnotic cooking up the phat flow That mix tape used to hit right Babyface, new edition, hi-five and brian mcknight I was ignorant Believe if I heard Stevie before I'd never have bought one R and B CD The fake shits pop The real shits soul Fakes use a microwave when they meals get cold Call the fake dance Call the real shit funk We call this - hip hop cause you can feel it bump
[Hook] R and B Stole the show It dont know how to sing, dont know how to flow But yeah R and B stole the show Its not quality, but thats how it goes Saying R and B Stole the show It dont know how to sing, dont know how to flow R and B stole the show Its not quality, but thats how it goes [Verse 2] Now now I gotta settle down My mind unsettled now While you step to sound the burner on and turned the kettle brown Donnie Brasco: Honor lost, battle medal found Looping up the levels forgetting about orchestral rounds [Push the pedal down](pending) We rock so let the pebble bounce I ain' t telling yall if I ever get accounts Dead announcers pronounce RAB in set amounts Stakeholders Payola and they repping loud A question: \"How you diggin that shit?\" A quick fuck, yo that old shit was intimate sick Get into it quick Yall singers trying too hard Those who sing from the heart I give the highest regard And I dont Care how many octaves you hit Dont care who's behind the board or on top of the mix Boredom's setting in like its the top of the sixth Pop in the disc Dismissed I can resist Take it Out of the deck and straight \"throw it out the window\" To me no greater crime than going south with indo Lower down your limbs low Dont stray from the cause Do us both a favor and turn your radio off
[Hook] I dont have answers This industry stinks of r and b like young weedheads and nag champa Without the lab cancer Ill keep my tap dancers On beat on cleats while reading phat stanzas Break your rap standards Dog your cat manners Fuck the dove, take the black panther from Atlanta Underground map planner with a jackhammer Break the safe take the place after I hack scanners Everything from fingerprint to retina Fastballs and sinkers in, singers dont know the temperature The times got me listening to older gs Trying to whistle and throw a nickle in the rotary I'm not a neo-soul-phobe or boaster, see I don't really say what I like, that shit is molding me Whatever I grow to be I know my kids gon' listen to stevie wonder before they go to sleep Just because for me that shit was Jodeci Never read the huckleberry finn or the moby d Here's hoping for songwriting and singing Thats clinging to the last treble staff not blinging
