Speaking:
|
One thing I want to assure them,
|
if they think I'm gonna change or compromise
|
my attitude and my way of life or
|
in my expression or in my goal
|
towards politics
|
they are making me stronger
|
and i am much much stronger now.
|
|
Check a blank to the boogie
|
and up chuck a boogie
|
to the rhythym of the boogie to be (x2)
|
there it go like simple the plainness
|
the prominent bassness
|
Zulu arrangement rockin' amazement
|
*flaco, radiating from heaven to pavement
|
if only years of placement with nothing to play with
|
spent time hating it but that ain't changing it
|
God give it to me no body is takin' it
|
therefore, moving on the base and stimulus?
|
standing in the twilight and watching them get it in
|
the walls are trembling, the air is simmering
|
she movin' like more than her ears are listenin'
|
woah now!
|
testin' your equilibrium
|
Sonic wave booming all over your intimate
|
skin on skin
|
and skin on skin again
|
put it all, get it all, get on, get it in
|
ladies and gentlemen, misters and mistresses
|
cousins other anto- and synonyms
|
there it is, boogieman
|
|
Hah!
|
simmer down simmer down simmer down now
|
simmer down now x3
|
quiet dog, bite hard, my god!
|
|
So and the rocking don't stop
|
Brooklyn in the kitchen heat up the stovetop
|
Banging the empire state and navigating the way
|
Your preservation makes the greatest hip hop
|
The cool dudes swagger looking terribly corny
|
Their flow is so petty, unsteady, it’s boring
|
These dudes ain't dope, but they on it,
|
They need to get off it
|
So wack, wack is all you can call it
|
Therefore, moving on, and deaf to stimulus
|
Regardless what zone or what town you represent
|
A bullet to the audio settlement
|
Tower to tenement
|
I mold you from all of the elements
|
Now simmer down and manage your mayhem
|
I'm bright as the A.M.
|
And you're rock and roll out the station
|
And blessed with the fresh from day one
|
I got it today done
|
We all going back to the same one
|
This constant motivation I'll stay with
|
Remarkable flavors
|
That all bear the mark of the greatness
|
|
Whoa now!
|
The kid is from buck town
|
Your girl is in love now
|
You chumps gonna front and get shut down
|
Shut!
|
|
(sirens)
|
simmer down simmer down simmer down now
|
simmer down now x3
|
quiet dog, bite hard let's rock
|
|
and you don't stop
|
see you rock to the rhythm we don't stop
|
so you maintain the rock and you don't stop
|
you keep up the rock and you don't stop
|
(the rock)
|
maintain the rock and you don't stop
|
(the rock)
|

|
(the rock)
|

|
(the rock)
|
|
You keep up the rock, Quiet dog bite hard, my god!
