De La Soul Big Brother Beat (feat. Mos Def) Lyrics

[Featuring Mos Def]
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha!
Ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ah ha ha ha ha ha!!
Intro/Chorus: De La + Mos Def
Now this goes out to all
area clicks
Centralized and way out in the sticks
Remember to keep the De La/De La/Native Tongue
in the
mix
Just like log cabin syrup my sound is game thick
Now this goes out to all area clicks
From manicured lawns
to projects bricks/bricks/from 718 to the 51-6
Remember to
keep the Mos Def/Native Tongue
in the mix
Straight
b___er hits, drop as a good as it gets/gets/straight b___er
hits
Verse One: Mos Def, Dove, Posdonus
Now, come on
y'all, get live get down
What we have is a brand new
sound
So don't none of y'all just be misled
The De La's gonna do the body good like wheat bread
Shakin laces out of shoes, Mos Def bought the brews
Sittin indian squats to make that red tie knots
See
I'm out to get the corn like in them rainbow pots
Swingin life like a hammock, invested like stocks
Via
sinus complex, I aims to clog it up
Snappin by the pain as
a crew hear the gain
We remain on your mind like skulls,
not a golem
I'ma show it in the house all perimeters
are blown
Native Tongue come through to make you say yes
yes
This is the body Mos Def style fresh like baby
breath
We are the killer combination with the size to
administer
the beatdown to swell up all three of your
eyes
Chorus
Now check it out, and ya don't
stop
We got the big brother beat, ya don't stop
(repeat 2X)
Verse Two: Mos Def, Posdonus, Dove
I
don't bug out I chill, don't be actin ill
No
trick in ninety-six, Native Tongue gon build
But we be easy
on the cut, no mistakes allowed
Cause to me, MC mean, make
it clean
When I speak on groups and I'm smooth like
gabba D
Tryin to hang out with Dove and catch love in
Aberdine (word up)
I bag dimes like my man born on August
17
Life be nuttin but a river son I'm swimmin
upstream
Playin wait up, with the data servin your ears
with information due to confirmation of the nation's
most
wicked ways of livin, like them glassy eyed beans
Inhale to smoke the fiends, while bangin a table
Rated at
the high point of the mass
Rippin MC's at the top of a
class, occasionally
rippin some sucker's face
Or
some suckable a__ from a girl
It's a big brother beat
for the wide wide world
I'm makin memos off these
demos back in eighty-nine
Took you all on encounters of an
unknown kind (right)
Did the hustle with a couple of us,
but soon noted
That my n____z b___ered Benedict rolls, and
then voted
I wrote in the dark so I could feel it like
braille (uh-huh)
Heard the big brother beat, got locked
with no bail
Came to set like equators invented, with the
heat
Yo Mos Def how you radiate to make it complete
RIGHT *echoes*, so when I shine the light crabs wince
Manifestin for the future here in the present tense
No
doubt, I love the sound biggin out off your Jeeps
Son I
want the little kids bangin big brother beats
Chorus
We straight b___er hits, we straight b___er hits
Perfecta, perfecta
(repeat 3X)
