(Ya'll hear me clear?) We got a really great show for you tonight Special guest Flow Fader on the cuts, thats right Stay tuned for more Live right here Ya'll hear me clear? (Ya'll hear me clear?) Verse 2 I'm ever influenced by the countless greats Learning from both their successes and their mistakes As well as those of my own If opportunities were ever Kurtis Blow(n) Well these are the breaks, but Ask yourself if you've never had the pleasure How all these other music lovers came to find this music treasure Perhaps the surface dwellers weren't ready for the depths of my sound That's why they call it underground But I compose these flows To be some of the illest hip-hop has ever brought ya Die you ever thought to Pigeon-hole it thinkin' that could hold it We can't call it underground It's more like underwater So you out of order And if I had a quarter For ever so-called journalist With a tape recorder Claiming my sound is old and it takes it back I'd be the richest motherf**er in the laundramat Hook We got a very special (?) show Oddysee is on the beat, J-Live is on the flow, yah Low Budgets in the house right there Ya'll hear me clear (Ya'll hear me clear?) Yo we got a really great show for ya'll tonight Special guest Flow Fader on the cuts, that's right Stay tuned for more Live right here Ya'll hear me clear? (Ya'll hear me clear?) Aaw yeah
