[Doodlebug and Ladybug]

One time for your mind

Two times for Mumia, Sekou

Three times for my Brooklyn dimes

Seven times for pleasure

I don't trip, I don't trip

We don't trip, nah we don't trip

We don't trip, please don't trip

We don't trip, pleasure


[Ladybug]

Now, sixteen times for the mind thieves

For my thinking in dilemma, I am Erica

Counterfeits don't stop the wettest of us

We Brooklyn we define the black people equal to who, yeah

What you supply

I know when I know when I drop dip

It was in beetle's but a snake try to spill a scorе

On my pride I'm in my cammy

We bust at COINTELPRO we crеamy like

Fuck that we Creamy Spies tell you scheme-y lies

We let our creamy bullets fly

Should it reflect the sun

We says yes when we think of gettin' dipped

We says guess say yo comrades rest


[Doodlebug and Ladybug]

Because we all bounce

We all bounce, I do bounce

Yes I do bounce. He do bounce

Yes she do bounce. He do bounce

Yes we all bounce

I all bounce Come on you know your bounce


[Butterfly]

From back since the crook caught a rep

For giving birth to horn loopers

I took my first step with Panthers - born troopers

Got caps on both cans for the halls I spray

Slap hands with my mans by the walls we play

Now, waist chains and cami-flauge complete sag

Live pools, my squad rules

From solar to lunar, cheap to death

From no boot to Puma, sewed up like mesh

My cousin's hit the kite

I read it in the corner circle C-low

Now all the niggas hate is COs

As we move on the D-E-low

For our fam in jail, no stars just bars

No cars unless the BMT own 'em

Crook-town bounce streets stealth dis how I roll 'em

I drape soul hearts, I make soul darts

Cover mad areas in my crepe soled Clarks

MC's lyin, is dyin' rap off

But here we all y'all

With pleasure, so it's


[Doodlebug and Ladybug]

One time for your mind

Twice times for Mumia's saint crew

Thrice times for the Brooklyn dimes

Seven times for pleasure

I stay on, he stay on she stay on

We stay on, we stay on

He stay on He is on

We be on cause

We stay on

With pleasure


[Doodlebug]

Here I go, the seven odd

Manchu squad

Black notes I quote, I dedicate to my young star

Via subway cars I span the metro

C-know sold stee-lo

Is livin' on the D-low

The galactic travler eternal explorer

Like the invincible Master Asia - a true warrior

Neither here nor there, the master of illusion

My sun moon sets catch reps when we cruisin'

The New York boroughs with classic boombastic

Studied all the styles and got nasty at it

Like a Thelonius Monk, I travel in peace

Left on, right on, black man from the east


[All three]

We don't quit

We don't quit

We don't quit

We don't quit


[Butterfly]

Yeah like for nothin but beats and cheese

Subzero degrees can't freeze the cool breeze

Ease, easay straight Brooklyn do

Hit you off with some pellets did Brooklyn smooth, ah

It's that certain style, uh huh

Eshu-Elegba

Squeeze off style quarters 'til herbs get stressed

Playin' slick games and avoid all rest


[Ladybug]

I shows, five seconds after that

I flows left caught your rebel grows

Devils we grow

Jonesin' on the curb I glow

Still posin', a b-girl fresh as

This leftist gets with MC's one and all of 'em

Bust ninety bi-evels

And my whole crew walk with pleasure
