DJ Jazzy Jeff - Play Dat! lyrics

[Intro: Dayne Jordan] Yeah Dayne, Jordan [Verse 1: Dayne Jordan] They got it backwards, these rappers Got you confused by that wackness They be kicking, my flows keep flipping I'm acrobatic It came from the mattresses Our neighbours used to put out in trash We took and imagined it was a part of a gym Now I'm conditioned to think, like I ain't got a pot to piss in Do my push-ups drink water and learn to listen Mic school pimping But I see a lot of people are lost, they feel tripping When they hear good music they don't know it So I owe it to myself as a poet To make sure my music is potent I see a lot of people dancing to records that they don't even feel They turn up, but they don't know where the soul is I don't wanna hear it's that old sh** This that young boy, sit yo' a** down, you don't know sh** This how it used to sound in Philly at a block party Let it knock 'til they call the cops on us [Hook: Dayne Jordan] This ain't old music Listen here this is dope music You don't even know how to feel this old music You ain't a DJ homie you don't know music We ain't taking no requests we control music So play dat! (play dat!) You just play dat! (play dat!) You just play dat! (play dat!) We ain't taking no requests We don't play dat (play dat!) We don't play dat (play dat!) We don't play dat (play dat!) We ain't taking no requests [Verse 2: Dayne Jordan] Ahhh Youngun' brought the feeling back I ain't really into that Tryna' make a record everybody like Just to get on radio, I'm buzzing on the internet Internationally in places I ain't been to yet n***as say I'm conscious, this is far from the [??] rap This is what my grandad Used to rock to, in his cadillac With his gat strapped And a pocket full of paper numbers written on a pad Working for the mafia The only black thing in sight, with the whites, like a hockey buff Grandmama, and mummy, and uncle, and auntie Grew up on this type of music, so it's already inside of me I got it honestly, but honestly It wasn't playing in the crib I was living in It wasn't until I got with Jeff and started digging where I discovered the cla**ics I'm trying to leave the same mark that there [Hook]
