[Verse 1: Grand Puba, (Positive K) & Both]
Two times for the drummer, 'fore I start it, I say, "Hit me!"
Puba's kickin' flavor, and I brought somebody with me — Positive!
(The gentlemen, the rapper — suavé, blasé, you know, dapper)
See, this is not a song about friends
Because we make the endz, and then we spread the skinz
(This song becomes a well-known tune
And my mic's gonna bloom like a flower in June)
We kick much flavor, and you know that
As smooth as the head on a Fed named Kojak
(Grip the mic 'til my hand get calloused
And I'll tell you like Ralph Kramden told Alice — "Bang! Zoom!")
It's up, up and away! (Grand Puba) and Positive K!
(Lyrics real sweet like candy)
It's just like a condom — WE KEEP ONE HANDY!
[Hook]
"Grand Puba!"
"Positive and L.G."
"No one can be you, but you"
"Now, that's funky!"
"Grand Puba!"
"Positive and L.G."
"No one can be you, but you!"
"Now, that's funky!"
"Outstanding!
"Check this out!
"Incredible"
"Now, that's funky!"
"No one can be you, but you!"
"Now, that's funky!"
"No one can be you.."
"Straight to the point!"
"Now, that's funky!"
Go Puba! Go Positive!
Go Puba! Go Positive!
"No one can be you.."
Go Puba! Go Positive!
"Straight to the point!"
Go Puba! Go Positive!
"Now, that's funky!"
[Verse 2: Positive K]
To my adversaries, I'm not ordinary
Not the Godfather, or the Tooth Fairy
Not Jack Spade or Engelbert Humperdinck
Listen to this rhyme and tell us what you think!
[Verse 3: Grand Puba]
One, two, three! Grand Puba's on the count
Rhymin' gets me papes in very large amount
Brother, you're wrong if you think crime pays
Don't like gays, and take vacations off of holidays
[Verse 4: Positive K]
Practice safe sex to prevent strange diseases
Wear my hat on one-night skeezers
I roll dice, but don't bet on the horses
Punks take losses and I don't reveal the sources
[Verse 5: Grand Puba & (Positive K)]
So umm.. take the 5th if you're plannin' to riff
The rhymes spread like Jif to make your loose knot stiff
Kick up your feet if you're feelin' kinda queasy...
(Relax.. haha! Take it easy! Word!)
[Verse 6: Positive K & (Grand Puba)]
You're in good hands, Positive is a survivor
I make rhymes to anythin', I'm like MacGyver
If I were a computer, rap would be my program
Since I'm a righteous man, I don't eat ham
I wish more people was alive like me!
(But Positive...) What up, Max?
[Verse 7: Grand Puba]
See, the vocab is lovely, girls be thinkin' of me
Other rappers try to be me, competition can't see me
So, hey! What do ya say? I got the flow, y'all
If you don't know the time, then you better check the Seiko
Or Timex, I suplex, get biz on the co-sex
Put 'em in a line then I ask, "Who's next?"
Grand Puba — guaranteed to make a big hit
Doin' much damage on this two-man skit
Tryin' to hold me back won't harm me
And when the gear gets too small, it's for the Salvation Army
So mami, or mida, a way I say, "No one's sweeter!"
(Now, that's funky!)
You see, the style I kick is rugged, I shine like a nugget
Present tense mean you dig it, past tense mean you dug it!
"So dance to a light tune, my lit-tle doll
Da-nah-nah! Da-nah-nah! Da-nah-nah! Dah!
Rock me wit' vi-bra-tion, give me a deep med-i-ta-tion!
There is none better than Grand Puba!
Baby-by, get it all togetha!"
You see, the second time around, I hope the label don't flake
And if they do, I go to Drake and say, "Give me a break!"
Like Toyota say, I say (Oh, what a feeling!)
I bust the foots of Lionel Richie
I caught him dancin' on MY ceiling!
[Verse 8: Positive K]
Pass me the mic 'cause I wants to blitz
I'm the best thing that came since grits
The Prince of Rap, lookin' for Cinderella
If you see her, why don't ya tell her?
I got the shoe, in the car out back
And if she makes the fit, she's IN.. LIKE.. THAT!
And as a matter of fact, I'm not an actor, but the main factor
Pinpointin' his rhymes like a protractor
I'm intricated, complicated, definitely musically related
Rhymes so fly, never been outdated
Gots to be fly by the way I state it
Now, of myself, I say I'm a big fan
Got more rhymes than words by the Letterman
Positive K — you can say he's low-key
You might know my name, but now look, you don't know me
I can be nice and flip like the Son of Sam
Nobody knows exactly how I am
I'm the next and everybody knows it
Open tours this year, next year I'mma close it
I've got the skills that pays the bills
Now, here's a quote from Stephanie Mills
"Don't put a rush on me 'cause my tempo's slow
And if I don't tell ya, then how would ya know?"
