MI Abaga samples Nina Simone on this epic braggadocio-fueled rap on Illegal Music Two. The mental scene set here is a bar where MI is having a Henny and Ice, and Nina Simone is performing her ‘Do I Move You’ number. Drinking with you, the fan, MI talks about how since he rose to take the spot as Nig...
[Blues Traveler]
Do I move you, are you willing
Do I groove you, is it thrilling
Do I soothe you, tell the truth now (Tell the truth niggas)
Do I move you (Do I), are you loose now
The answer better be (Yes, yes)
[Pre-Verse: MI Abaga]
I mean y’all spend so much time hating on a nigga
I just wanna know
It pleases me
[Verse 1: M.I Abaga]
Tell me doctor, am I ill?
Four years later and I’m spitting still
And I am getting hotter if you feel
They warming up, I’m burning up
Like I am a re-furnaced act
Check my thermostat
Give me honor stats
There’s no turning back
To not earning jack
Check my records doc
And they confirming that
My position, mic magician wheres my Merlin hat
Criminally good at turning rap
Me I am still balling, sperm in sack
Funny dudes give it a rest dude, Bennie Mac
I am in the house
Didn’t get the news bitches, Jack the ripper
Illegal music 2, I’m back nigga
You waiting on me, heavy tipper
[Blues Traveler & (MI)]
Are you ready (yea) for this action
(See really I’m a humble dude
I don’t like to talk too much
I don’t like to brag)
Does it give you (hmm yea) satisfaction
(But see the thing is if you don’t toot your own horn
These niggas)
Are you hip to what I’m saying
(These niggas are gonna act like you ain’t doing nothing
You know what i’m saying)
If you are (soo), then let’s start swaying (So that be the case)
The answer better be (Yeah)
(If y’all gon create a monster
Y’all gonna have to live with it
You hear me)
It pleases me
[Verse 2: M.I Abaga]
Yo, so what’s the issue
Why are you hating
Where are my pupils, dilating
Quick trying to, annihilate him
Calling me bad, violate him
See if you feel me secretly and play my music frequently but try to beef with me
See my peace with me
Will bring the heat for me
And decently you rest in peace homie, haha
So eat with me and maybe a tab
Created a style, you’re only a fan
You only a fad
Every guy got you thinking you popping more than your daddy
Dudes are under the influence, I’ll call you a cab
I’m one of a kind, stop trying to clone me
I’m lyrically ham. these nigga baloney
You Hannah Montana, you fucking with Tony
Inflatable ego, you niggas should blow me
[Blues Traveler & (MI)]
(Yea, yea)
When I touch you (yea yea), do you quiver
(I mean you got to admit, this is the 4th project in a row )
From your head
(That I done changed up the game)
Down to your liver
(All my shits are classic
I go one way this time
The other way that time, you know)
If you like it
(So if you like it, you know what i’m saying)
Let me know it
(Just let me know
You ain’t gotta hate you know what i’m saying
You ain’t gotta hate)
Don’t be psychic or you’ll blow it
(I think that’s about it yo)
The answer better be (Yes, yes)
(I think I am done)
Great God almighty
That pleases me
