| Artist | Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth |
| Album | Mecca And The Soul Brother |
| 作词 : Penn, Phillips | |
| Uh, yeah. uh-huh. | |
| We got pete rock and c.l. smooth | |
| And we're here to tell you to... | |
| And that's a fact, baby | |
| Now you're gonna kick some lyrics | |
| Like this, c'mon... | |
| Walk the fine, short line, and put the needle to the grind | |
| Representin' one kind, seeing eye for the blind | |
| Witness what i carry on bears a further purpose | |
| From how we do slam a few, then you want to purchase | |
| A dialogue of funk, you love to pop it in your trunk | |
| I win, more disciplined than a show-lin monk | |
| Pete rock and c.l., well set to spark it | |
| The powerful target to destroy the black market | |
| But when you say black, listen, i don't know, you lose me | |
| I guess another beggar can afford to be choosey | |
| I come to the maximum, artist on a major label | |
| Any duplication of this one is fatal | |
| On one to five, i gotta hit ya live | |
| Beat your ass with my tape, any race or shape | |
| Cuz if they got mine, they got yours too | |
| But together here's what we gotta do | |
| Tell 'em...straighten it out | |
| Ah, yeah...straighten it out | |
| You know this is the word (say what?)...straighten it out | |
| That's right y'all...straighten it out (say what?) | |
| You got to...straighten it out | |
| Everybody must...straighten it out (say what?) | |
| Straighten it out...yeah | |
| Straighten it out...it's like that (say what?) | |
| The funk legacy i pass on, clearancy for high rates | |
| Every time we sample all the past time greats | |
| Stick it in the sp-1200 beat, i make a loop | |
| Lovely, where the troop in a lexus coupe | |
| Just a little bit, set to make a whole lot happen | |
| The musical inside my rappin' | |
| And add in any credit that you heard thus far | |
| I start from scratch, cuz the bass line's critical | |
| Better than the original who first made it | |
| But now you want to sue me, but fans never boo me | |
| Believe i know the times, we been broke, too, g | |
| Here's another sample clear, seeya, get the hell outta here | |
| Like a bootleg, you're over for the year | |
| You'll only get the credit where the credit is due | |
| So, listen, what i shout out is true | |
| Yeah, true...straighten it out | |
| You gots to tell 'em to...straighten it out | |
| (say what?)...straighten it out | |
| You got to tell 'em to...straighten it out | |
| (say what?)...straighten it out | |
| That's right...straighten it out | |
| C'mon (say what?)...straighten it out | |
| That's right...straighten it out | |
| Straighten it out (say what?) | |
| Like the strands of lamb's wool, i'm thinkin' that's said | |
| Here to go to the head and count the locks on a dred | |
| I and i'd 'mit to verify, goin' to multiply | |
| A theory many thought a conspiracy | |
| Here to let you know that it applies to all of us | |
| You're no exceptions to the rule and that's a plus | |
| Cuz who jah bless, let noone curse | |
| Straighten out what i be about, reckon above the clout | |
| And let the management work for me | |
| Because i don't need the unnecessary hostility | |
| A proper marketing plan so we can gobble up the dough | |
| Straighten it out, so everybody know | |
| The kids are official with the purpose of a smooth surface | |
| Kickin' the service one time to make 'em nervous | |
| We're finally here and very long overdue | |
| Pete rock, this one's for the crew | |
| You gotta...straighten it out | |
| Everybody must...straighten it out (say what?) | |
| You gotta...straighten it out | |
| Everybody must...straighten it out (say what?) | |
| Straighten it out...you got to | |
| Straighten it out...c'mon (say what?) | |
| Straighten it out | |
| All black people must...straighten it out | |
| Say what? | |
| Straighten it out | |
| Everybody must...straighten it out | |
| The yg's, they must...straighten it out | |
| The hilltop, they must...straighten it out | |
| The whole money-earnin' must...straighten it out | |
| Everybody must...straighten it out | |
| Come on...straighten it out | |
| Ah, yeah...straighten it out (to close) |
