Main Source challenges the nay-sayers, wack producers and even wacker emcees alike on “What You Need”, the only single to be released from their second and final studio album, “Fuck What You Think”.
The track was directly sampled for pop sensation Madonna’s “Human Nature”, which peaked at #57 on Bi...
[Intro]
[Verse 1: Mikey D]
Let's spark up the blunts, I'm representin' like expected
This one is for the record, I'mma wreck it, microphone check it
Here comes Mikey D with the Main Source, back on course
Never took a loss of course, we're rollin' with mad force
Had everybody waitin' for a nigga to get raw
Instead they're gettin' more so now they're puzzled like jigsaws
To all you knuckleheads sayin' I'm dead, don't play me close
'Cause you don't know the flavor when your neighbor's a angry ghost
So step into my cypher and beef, or leave in pieces
I'm movin' motherfuckers like I got telekinesis
Yo, I'm real, no time for fakin' a stunt
I crack a 40 in a minister's face, damn and spark a izm blunt
You thought I fell off track? A-yo, I gotta proceed
Yes indeed, so tell 'em what you need
[Chorus]
(What you need is the source!)
The underground sound from the group called the Main Source
(What you need...What you need is the source!)
The underground sound from the group called the Main Source
(What you need is the source!)
The underground sound from the group called the Main Source
(What you need...What you need is the source!)
The underground sound from the group called the Main Source
[Verse 2: Mikey D]
Too late to make a mistake, 'cause if we do then we're forgotten
The other crews are rotten and their beats as soft as Pamper cotton
Brothers know the style when the Main Source flips the scripts
Catch mad dips with the hip, a quick lick, now that's the shit
To non-believers that was wishin' us bad luck
I know your mouth is shut, what, we're back with a phat cut
Me the Mikey D with K-Cut and Sir Scratch back to back with phat tracks
And plus we're making the perfect match
So put your money on the table and I'll bet I make a bigger bet (Word!)
Smoke a sucker like a cigarette
Main Source could never slip up, watch all of y'all zip up
When you flip over the hits that we be rippin' up
I take it light, when I'm hype I rest my mic
And just chill as you recite
[Chorus]
(What you need is the source!)
The underground sound from the group called the Main Source
(What you need...What you need is the source!)
The underground sound from the group called the Main Source
(What you need is the source!)
The underground sound from the group called the Main Source
(What you need...What you need is the source!)
The underground sound from the group called the Main Source
[Verse 3]
[Mikey D]
A-yo, it's time to catch wreck so rappers know my style is real
I eat 'em like a meal if they try to steal anything I...
(A-yo, we gots to represent!)
[K-Cut]
They goin' crazy over tracks that I make up, so wake up
'Cause you don't know the skills of the K-Cut
I make the crazy beats for the lovers of the streets
And I'm raw, keepin' it real, that's what I'm gettin' paid for
So bring it on and watch the Main Source wreck it
[Mikey D]
Yo check it!
[Sir Scratch]
Let me get a piece of this record
Sir Scratch is rippin' this track with a rap
That I pack the party people like a sack in a finger snap
[Mikey D]
Word, we'll run a check on them brothas actin' opposite sex
And catch wreck, on time like a Rolex
Now that you know the scientifics, there's no need to be specific
You know what you need, so get with it!
[Chorus inverted x2]
(When the Main Source falls through ya town!)
