rate me
Uhyeah. uh-huh.
We got pete rock and c.l. smooth
And we're here to tell you to...
And that's a factbaby
Now you're gonna kick some lyrics
Like thisc'mon...
Walk the fineshort lineand put the needle to the grind
Representin' one kindseeing eye for the blind
Witness what I carry on bears a further purpose
From how we do slam a fewthen you want to purchase
A dialogue of funkyou love to pop it in your trunk
I winmore disciplined than a show-lin monk
Pete rock and c.l.well set to spark it
The powerful target to destroy the black market
But when you say blacklistenI don't knowyou lose me
I guess another beggar can afford to be choosey
I come to the maximumartist on a major label
Any duplication of this one is fatal
On one to fiveI gotta hit ya live
Beat your ass with my tapeany race or shape
Cuz if they got minethey got yours too
But together here's what we gotta do
Tell 'em...straighten it out
Ahyeah...straighten it out
You know this is the word (say what? )...straighten it out
That's right y'all...straighten it out (say what? )
You got to...straighten it out
Everybody must...straighten it out (say what? )
Straighten it out...yeah
Straighten it out...it's like that (say what? )
The funk legacy I pass onclearancy for high rates
Every time we sample all the past time greats
Stick it in the sp-1200 beatI make a loop
Lovelywhere the troop in a lexus coupe
Just a little bitset to make a whole lot happen
The musical inside my rappin'
Written by the c.l.produced by the p.r.
And add in any credit that you heard thus far
I start from scratchcuz the bass line's critical
Better than the original who first made it
But now you want to sue mebut fans never boo me
Believe I know the timeswe been broketoog
Here's another sample clearseeyaget the hell outta here
Like a bootlegyou're over for the year
You'll only get the credit where the credit is due
Solistenwhat I shout out is true
Yeahtrue...straighten it out
You gots to tell 'em to...straighten it out
(say what? )...straighten it out
You got to tell 'em to...straighten it out
(say what? )...straighten it out
That's right...straighten it out
C'mon (say what? )...straighten it out
That's right...straighten it out
Straighten it out (say what? )
Like the strands of lamb's woolI'm thinkin' that's said
Here to go to the head and count the locks on a dred
I and I'd 'mit to verifygoin' to multiply
A theory many thought a conspiracy
Here to let you know that it applies to all of us
You're no exceptions to the rule and that's a plus
Cuz who jah blesslet noone curse
Straighten out what I be aboutreckon above the clout
And let the management work for me
Because I don't need the unnecessary hostility
A proper marketing plan so we can gobble up the dough
Straighten it outso everybody know
The kids are official with the purpose of a smooth surface
Kickin' the service one time to make 'em nervous
We're finally here and very long overdue
Pete rockthis one's for the crew
You gotta...straighten it out
Everybody must...straighten it out (say what? )
You gotta...straighten it out
Everybody must...straighten it out (say what? )
Straighten it out...you got to
Straighten it out...c'mon (say what? )
Straighten it out
All black people must...straighten it out
Say what?
Straighten it out
Everybody must...straighten it out
The yg'sthey must...straighten it out
The hilltopthey must...straighten it out
The whole money-earnin' must...straighten it out
Everybody must...straighten it out
Come on...straighten it out
Ahyeah...straighten it out (to close)
