[MC Serch]
|
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 smacks
|
(Square 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 dark
|
(Don't park there's no standin) or I'll play the five-oh
|
You don't stop movin until the Serch says so
|
To keep the tribe open, shootin out to play em
|
Three the hard way'll keep you steppin to the A.M.

[Pete Nice]
|
My mind has a question, I respond
|
to a silver domed microphone (one step beyond)
|
Straight to eighty-eight to the curves of the 90's
|
I'm universal, I set a line free
|
Behind me, the three the hard way, the jackpot
|
(Awaitin Satan's, tryin to take cheap shots)
|
We groove crowds, the three stand proud
|
The brothers round the way sit down and 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 swine
|
Pete Nice skims over lyrics, I pick em
|
Strong and 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 (and 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.
|

[MC Serch]
|
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 had)
|
Lyrics to the A.M. but the house needs a swinger
|
You st-st-st-st-stutter, but I'm a stinger
|
(My rhymes so potent, I wrote em and it's evident)
|
You're just a stunt, seekin a settlement
|
The lyrical line (The artical original)
|
Afflict like a convict, I ain't no criminal
|
Scheamin 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.
