L-l-loop digga...
[Hook] x4
Yo, it's the loop digga
Man, it's the loop digga (My n***a, my n***a)
[Verse 1]
Some n***as be sampling the same a** sh**
Some n***as be looping up them played out hits
But that's more for me, plus the peeps I'm down with
We strive to create some way out other sh**
That you ain't heard yet, we building up respect
Then come the check, then I cash chips
Now I go get more stacks of wax
f** CDs, ca**ettes, 8-tracks and DATs
f** all that sh**, cat
I remember I was stealing old records from my aunt's closet
Back in the days I didn't even know that I could make a profit off it
I drop loops to make you feel like you been taking swiggers
Yo, it's the return, n***a

[Break]
Yo, Madlib... yo...
I know you comin' with all this other sh** man
But I want you to hit them with that raw sh** right about now
You know what you gotta do
[Verse 2]
One two, one two
The selective approach provides the essential conditions for creative freedom
Uh-oh, I got sh** on deck, just like a pelican
The Beat Konducta orchestrate, put you under my spell again
I drop the soul inside your ear hole
Add the ba** line, then I hit you with a fat drum roll (Hit it!)
I'm tackling gods and dogs on Holy Thursday
Like David Axelrod, I keep it raw from the first day
I want it in the worst way, don't pay more than ten dollars
Get together with Kan-Kick it's like we loop scholars
Keeping Clifford Jordan on down to Willie Mason
The Propositions, Ca**ietta George, good for lacing
It's like I got a goldmine in my soul supply
n***as askin' "Yo, Madlib, why you waste so much money on records and getting high, man?"
Man, I got no time for silly sh**
Throw this record on, pack a bowl, take a hit
Yo it's the...
