[Intro: Pete Rock]

Yeah

Uhh

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah, here we go

Here we go, baby

Let's go with the flow (Mmhm)

Check out the trio (Word)

Pete Rock and Large Pro, G Rap


[Verse 1: Large Professor]

Yo, this I dedicate to the girl I rate

As a ten, then again, she was probably a eight

Her ass was kinda phat, so she moved me, yo

When I scoped out her mental was straight, said, "Let's roll"

Started seein' this shorty every night and every day

On the rebound, around, left, right, and hey!

I'm a critical brother when it comes down to broads

But this wop here is like the Grammy Awards

Had style and grace, and class, a lot of taste

On a slow dance, we romanced around my place

Like a king from Queens is how she made me feel

And if I did dirt, it was locked and sealed

No doubt, was all about me and my love thing

If the phone called Paul, I was lettin' it ring

Absolutely, she looped me, the hook was good

Niggas buggin' on me, buggin' in my neighborhood

Yeah, boss, but on course is my game plan

Shorty wop keep me chillin' with the name-brand

Kicks and whips, goin' all out — chicks, flicks, and tours

Yeah, you know who you is, kid, truly yours!


[Interlude: Pete Rock]

Yo, yo, yo!

I like what you said right there, son (Yeah)

Yo, but now I'ma let 'em know how I feel (Yeah)

KnowhatI'msayin'?

Check this out


[Verse 2: Pete Rock]

This I dedicate to the mixtapes I hate

Exclusive shit, it really holds no weight

Put ya skills on the plate, backspin to '88

Now, this I dedicate to a girl I hate (Uh-huh)

Try to post fly (What?), with ya Maybelline eyes

Sportin' DKNY, workin' on ya alibi

Imitation at best (Word), Miss American Express

Dismiss the charge, Kool G Rap and Large Pro

Here to let you know we're not the mens

I'm through with you, but still talk to ya friends

Don't stop to say hi, or even re-apply

The position is filled, with fresh new material (What?)

Keep ya head up, catch some black cat luck

Sped off in my truck, not givin' a fuck

"Lookin' At My Front Door," but it's locked and closed

So I use the window for all you '98 hoes

Truly yours


[Interlude: Pete Rock]

Whoooo!

Weeeee!

IIIIIIIIIIIIII heard that

Word

Yo, G., man

Kick that shit you was kickin' back in the days about that girl, kid


[Verse 3: Kool G Rap]

A-yo, go 'head, hood rat

I can't see what ya any good at

Put that trash back on the rack, you were put back

A stripper just like lickin' chicken, peckin' wherever wood at

You sewer rat, better be careful where you step ya foot at

You might get snapped, caught in the trap

Sneakin' 'bout the cheese stack

So cease that and ease back, you sleaze cat

'Cause G Rap — many cats wanna be that, better believe that

Iced up, find me where it's below zero degrees at, and ski's at

See the G stack puffin' on Scarface and Garcia Vegas

G Rap and Pete Rock — we bond papers

Both of us together — we bomb makers

Bottles of Dom breakers

Many mansions on farm acres

Pushin' Porsches with four doors

Diamonds with no flaws

With the pretty mamas on beaches of Bahama shores

Pinky ring is like a stone age without the dinosaurs

Comin' from me, G Rap, yo, truly yours!


[Outro: Pete Rock]

Yeah, kid (Yeah, kid)

We got to diss that girl, yo (Diss that girl, yo)

Ah, shi-

KnowwhatI'msayin'? (Word)

Still the same (Still the same)

Nuthin' changed (Nuthin' changed)

Ha-haa! (Ha-haa!)

For real though (For real though)

Uhh (Uhh)

Yo, I don't even know why she tryin' to act all funny

(All funny, all funny)

Now she heard me gettin' loud money

(Gettin' loud money, loud money)

Now y'all know how we livin' (How we livin')

Out (Out)


[Outro]

"I don't know, I think, when, when they write they own rap

They tend to forget the producer/DJ, or whatever

They always forget that

They always think, what-what happened visually

How it did momentarily, or what the MC said

Pete Rock proved that-- he put the music in the forefront"
