"In the flesh" --> Big Daddy Kane (cut & scratched 2x)
|
|
[CL Smooth]
|
Introducing funk from the yard, collecting strictly knockouts
|
The broters I sparred, which only means the man got nothing to prove
|
On a power move made by the CL Smooth
|
Live 495 I arrive in person
|
Hard dialogue without a whole bunch of cursing
|
It's my perrogitive, so back up and live, fool
|
As long as they don't violate everything's cool, cause it's all good
|
Understood is the smoothest daddy with the roughest raps
|
Am I thinking about blowing the spot? Perhaps
|
Carry straps on strips for the trigger-happy pirates
|
Where ladies catch fits steady reaching for my privates
|
But hold, how I unfold my whole repotoire
|
Now here we are at home to make another superstar
|
With Rob-O indeed R with the P.R.
|
But nevertheless it's CL Smooth
|

|
[Rob-O]
|
Rob-O's at the top of the list, so bust this
|
Stick to funk like Scotch, the top-notch vocalist
|
You don't stop, cause I can illustrate with the needle
|
Penetrating straight to the souls of many people
|
Is there any evil? On this path I'm innovating
|
Stil faking, put down your pads and stop waiting
|
See the year of the fly MC is here, so stand clear
|
I'm facing the Gods with no fear
|
Rob-O, East Coast, uptown
|
MCing the most and spreading the Mecca all around
|
Selecting the sound to make the party people pound
|
And see gave you more, of what I say in '94
|
It's like that, so don't stop
|
It's like this, so God bless
|
Soul Brothers get down with no stress
|
Yeah INI's representing in the flesh

[Dida]
|
Even in the mirror, it just doesn't get any clearer
|
I hear a funky beat and I gotta get nearer
|
KABOOM! Stepping in the sound room mellow
|
A dangerous flavorous fellow, hello
|
Style and grace, the original's in this piece
|
In the place right along with the pace
|
Nevertheless, in the flesh no quest
|
The sex in the system, of course I'm fresh
|
I rest in the Villes, the skills is big
|
To a level of extravagence, the talent's all balanced
|
The extreme dopeness for the nation
|
D. is the inital, MC's the occupation
|
Five master hype, light the color of the skin
|
Once the beat roll, my goal is to win
|
My friend the best, the real side yes
|
I rest my case in your face in the flesh
|

[Pete Rock]
|
Soul Brother supreme to catch wreck in the flesh
|
So check one two and a mic test
|
Now clear the room, I scoped you with the wide angle zoom
|
Trying to overstand my funk tunes
|
Coming soon, so chill, don't stress The Creator
|
I'll kick the funk loop from here to Cal Tjader
|
And cross the fader, and pack the lines on my paper
|
With rhymes so tough, who got the flavor?
|
Plus the knack to rock, I'm steady heating up the spot
|
The Chocolate Boy Wonder making heads bop
|
In slow motion, domes crack open like the pavement
|
Off some shit I made down in the basement
|
The funk ambassador, asking you to get with the pro-
|
Fessional, yo there's no question I can flow
|
Time to slide, you know the P.R. will provide
|
The real and still I feel the vibe, I'm in the flesh
|
