| [00:24.94] | Back in the days on the boulevard of Linden |
| [00:27.37] | We used to kick routines and presence was fittin |
| [00:29.80] | It was I, The Abstract (And me, the Five Footer) |
| [00:32.28] | (I kicks the mad style so step off the frankfurter) |
| [00:34.71] | Yo, Phife, you remember that routine |
| [00:36.80] | That we used to make spiffy like Mr. Clean? |
| [00:39.57] | (Um um, a tidbit, um, a smidgen) |
| [00:42.34] | (I don't get the message so you gots to run the pigeon) |
| [00:44.69] | Heh, okay, you on point Phife? (All the time, Tip) |
| [00:46.86] | You on point Phife? (All the time, Tip) |
| [00:49.39] | You on point Phife? (All the time, Tip) |
| [00:51.77] | Well, then grab the microphone and let your words rip |
| [00:54.62] | |
| [00:54.88] | Now here's a funky introduction of how nice I am |
| [00:56.79] | Tell your mother, tell your father, send a telegram |
| [00:59.27] | I'm like an energizer 'cause, you see, I last long |
| [01:01.88] | My crew is never ever wack because we stand strong |
| [01:04.31] | Now if you say my style is wack that's where you're dead wrong |
| [01:06.97] | I slayed that buddy in El Segundo then Push it Along |
| [01:09.45] | You'd be a fool to reply that Phife is not the man |
| [01:11.68] | 'Cause you know and I know that you know who I am |
| [01:14.21] | A special shout of peace goes out to all my pals, you see |
| [01:16.61] | And a middle finger goes for all you punk MC's |
| [01:19.25] | 'Cause I love it when you wack MC's despise me |
| [01:21.76] | They get vexed, I roll next, can't none contest me |
| [01:24.24] | I'm just a fly MC who's five foot three and very brave |
| [01:26.72] | On top remaining, no home training 'cause I misbehave |
| [01:29.23] | I come correct in full effect have all my hoes in check |
| [01:31.82] | And before I get the butt the jim must be erect |
| [01:34.17] | You see, my aura's positive I don't promote no junk |
| [01:36.65] | See, I'm far from a bully and I ain't a punk |
| [01:39.13] | Extremity in rhythm, yeah that's what you heard |
| [01:41.61] | So just clean out your ears and just check the word |

| [02:04.34] | Back in the days on the boulevard of Linden |
| [02:06.72] | We used to kick routines and the presence was fittin |
| [02:09.30] | It was I, the Phifer (And me, the Abstract) |
| [02:11.78] | (The rhymes were so rumpin' that the brothers rode the 'zack) |
| [02:14.63] | Ayo Tip, do you recall when we used to rock (What?) |
| [02:17.01] | Those fly routines on your cousin's block? |
| [02:19.04] | (Um, let me see, damn I can't remember) |
| [02:21.87] | (I receive the message and you will play the sender) |
| [02:24.30] | You on point Tip? (All the time Phife) |
| [02:26.57] | You on point Tip? (Yeah, all the time Phife) |
| [02:29.08] | You on point Tip? (Yo, all the time Phife) |

| [02:34.14] | |
| [02:34.46] | Okay, if knowledge is the key then just show me the lock |
| [02:36.52] | Got the scrawny legs but I move just like Lou Brock |
| [02:39.08] | With speed, I'm agile plus I'm worth your while |
| [02:41.59] | One hundred percent intelligent black child |
| [02:43.99] | My optic presentation sizzles the retina |
| [02:46.73] | How far must you go to gain respect? Ummm |
| [02:49.29] | Well, it's kind of simple, just remain your own |
| [02:51.49] | Or you'll be crazy, sad and alone |
| [02:53.84] | Industry rule number four-thousand-and-eighty |
| [02:56.66] | Record company people are shady |
| [02:58.93] | So kids watch your back 'cause I think they smoke crack |
| [03:01.47] | I don't doubt it, look at how they act |
| [03:03.64] | Well off to better things like a hip-hop forum |
| [03:06.54] | Pass me the rock and I'll score 'em with decorum |
| [03:09.10] | And proper—what you say Hammer? Proper |
