Down with the Program - Intellectual

[Chorus: Sample]

We gonna do a song

That you never heard before

[Verse 1: ]

Here′s the program, in other words the format

Ride my lyrics to the end of this drum track

Jump to this, cause this is from the band

You knew, we plan and do

What we're supposed to do, over a beat we make

So make no mistake, I don′t flake

TL, that's the one they gain knowledge from

And yes, I come correct when I come

To reach you, maybe tеach you

Discipline, or a thing or two

Through a rhyme, the crеw, back again in '89

Still tough, I′ll go for mine

Here′s another clue: Peter Piper picked a pepper

And he blasted, then he passed it

On, til the pepper was gone

Now he's pickled, hey yo, his mind is fickle

Now Peter wishing he′d have left the pepper alone

Out of his home bent, we all know where his ends went

Forgotten all about the rent

Cracked pot by the rock, so all was spent

Snatched by the ghost, attached to most users

Strength within, guarantees the win

Still in the end, we all become losers

Of loved ones, or brothers or sisters or friends

So dig the program

[Chorus: Sample]

We gonna do a song

That you never heard before

[Verse 2:]

So here's what happens, when the overload explode

Unload soul and still go

Higher on the scale, yet who′s on my tail?

The same sucker ducks who thought I fell

But now they're in my science class, with a notebook

Cause they took a good look, and got hooked

To the logo, the theory, the saying

Just like I said before, I′m not just playing

My capabilities to intrigue the minds

Who receive the rhymes I bleed, define and leave behind

No wack to crack, ain't open for attack, the fact

(Why dog?) Cause that's where it′s at

Now enchanted by the way I slam it and ram it

They understand it, yet they won′t say it, damnit

Although the name is famous to glory

But that's a different story, that type of rhyme, it bores me

So I get in to what′s got you in my vocal tone

Backed by the danger zone

Think when we pile up and house up

Time's up, peace up, dig the program

[Chorus: Sample]

We gonna do a song

That you never heard before

[Verse 3: ]

Now, here′s some if any, so come on now, give me

Three of your best mics, cause we in the spotlight

Schooling you, leaving you a message

Paving you a passageway, like a Philly subway

So move out my way as I take my standing position

Which is in deep deep demanding

Slamming em up, jamming em up with knowledge

Yo, can you keep up with the mileage?

The program is so damn tough that I'm dropping

If dope was a vocab pill, the crew′s popping

So stop jocking, and learn the plan

TL, T-L, peace up, from the Tuff Crew band

And we down with the program
