[Intro: DJ Premier scratches]

"Worldwide! Uh!"

"Time to handle our biz"

"Down with the crew called Diggin' In The Crates"

"Worldwide! Uh!"

"Time to handle our biz"

"Down with the crew called Diggin' In The Crates"


[Chorus: Uncredited female vocal]

Thick is how I got my whole clique to sound

Thick is how we gets down from town to town

If you didn't know, this clique can't be touched

If your clique ain't thick, you ain't fuckin' with us


[Verse 1: A.G.]

We on a world tour with Midnight Mauraders and such

I'm at the table like The Godfather, smokin' a Dutch

Controllin' the buck,.I roll with enough

Niggas that'll blow in the clutch, not only holdin', we bust

The phat raps, so pass that and let me hit it

Got me gassed, black, skins was mad phat, she flipped it

Bronx is equipped with niggas that'll rip shit

Studios get blown from D&D to Mystic

With this shit, I'll bomb the nation from a distance

The jewel: gotta have patience, plus persistence

We rock glass like Rockford

Waitin' for bottles to pop, in the condo, models get rocked

To sum up my career from bottom to top

Now we in the thick of it, and you don't stop!


[Chorus]

Thick is how I got my whole clique to sound

Thick is how we gets down from town to town

If you didn't know, this clique can't be touched

If your clique ain't thick, you ain't fuckin' with us


[Verse 2: Big L]

Check it! I be puffin' blunts in the house, sexin' stunts on the couch

This year, a lot of frauds might get punched in their mouth

For when your wife see me, she don't know how to act

So don't be mad when I blow out her back, for real

Your whole team a bunch of poo-putts who made a few bucks

Date a few sluts, then y'all started runnin' y'all lips a little too much

My whole crew wild, slick as Nu Nile

We go to clubs, hit the bar, and trick two-thou'

Other MCs ain't got a chance at all

'Cause Big L Corleone is too advanced for y'all

Chicks can never walk away 'cause they like the sex

Flamboyant is the label that writes the checks

I'm a pimped-out nigga that walk with canes

Talk with slang, who ball from New York to Spain

Haters E-N-V-Y me, B-I-G

'Cause I'm V.I.P. 'til I D-I-E, what!


[Chorus: Female voice & (O.C.)]

Thick is how I got my whole clique to sound

Thick is how we gets down from town to town

If you didn't know, this clique can't be touched

If your clique ain't thick, you ain't fuckin' with us

Thick is how I got my whole clique to sound (Yeah, yeah!)

Thick is how we gets down from town to town

If you didn't know, this clique can't be touched (D.I.T.C., nigga!)

If your clique ain't thick, you ain't fuckin' with us (What! What!)


[Verse 3: O.C.]

Yo! I spark light with the pen, drink O.J. with gin

Rock Timbs with my laces untied

Cruisin' the city on 17 inches, ride past wenches

Past the projects, thugs chillin' on the benches

Profile low as if I had an ill vengeance

Life on Earth is just a death sentence

Fuck it! Alpha, omega, Arm-Leg-a-Leg-a-Arm

With cold steel if you pose a threat to my nasia

D-I-double-G-I-N

I-N T-H-E Crates lock shit, times ten

Dive in! Become a part of a cliché, the art of a expert

Your honor from New York to Florida

Chicks rush through corridors, niggas try to star with us

Besides rollin' thick, my whole crew be marvelous


[Chorus: Uncredited female vocal]

Thick is how I got my whole clique to sound

Thick is how we gets down from town to town

If you didn't know, this clique can't be touched

If your clique ain't thick, you ain't fuckin' with us

Thick is how I got my whole clique to sound

Thick is how we gets down from town to town

If you didn't know, this clique can't be touched

If your clique ain't thick, you ain't fuckin' with us


[Outro: DJ Premier scratches]

"Worldwide! Uh!"

"Time to handle our biz"

"Down with the crew called Diggin' In The Crates"

"Worldwide! Uh!"

"Time to handle our biz"

"Down with the crew called Diggin' In The Crates"

"Worldwide! Uh!"
