[Intro: The Delfonics]

"Ready or not— ready or not—

Here I come— here I—

Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide

Gonna find you and—"


[Chorus: Lootpack]

"Flip it up rip it up to raw addict, yeah"

"Flip it up rip it up to raw addict, yeah"

"Flip it up rip it up to raw addict, yeah

Crate diggin'— crate diggin'—

Crate diggin' for the static when I mad beat shop"


[Verse 1: Madlib]

Yo it's the master don, hit you off of loop structures

One-oh-one, like we up on some acupuncture

(How you do?) I eat, sleep, and drink vinyl

I'll probably be this way until the final (Days, nowadays)

It's getting hard to find the fat plastic

But I got my stacks, in case it gets drastic

We kickin', next shit, for the true heads

Cruise with the beats and flows, styles shed

A.K.A. the Tascam Villain

Higher than the ceiling, I'm under beat drillin'

Original sound always come automatic

When you're dealing with the raw addict


[Chorus: Lootpack]

"Flip it up rip it up to raw addict, yeah"

"Flip it up rip it up to raw addict, yeah"

"Flip it up rip it up to raw addict, yeah

Crate diggin' for the static— crate diggin'—

Crate diggin' for the static when I mad beat shop"


[Verse 2: Madlib]

I keep my shit raw when I release the static

Even when I was young, I was a record addict

Collecting loops on main street to eight

Melrose, searching for the fat loop plates

Me and DJ Romes always hit mad spots

Catch the record high, space out like astronauts

Only a few percent know what I'm talkin' about

Every place we go catch me up in the record store

But when I'm out, I'm off to dissect

For example, I chop loops like hackers

And smoke green up in the bay, 'cause we loot packers

Always stay away from the whack beat jackers

Unoriginal clone mentality

Niggas keep it right yo that'll be

The day when we switch up

Or change the pitch up


[Chorus: Lootpack]

"Flip it up rip it up to raw addict, yeah"

"Flip it up rip it up to raw addict, yeah"

"Flip it up rip it up to raw addict, yeah

Take 'em out"
