Live At The Fishbucket (Pt. 1)
Written by: Michael Turner & Christopher Portugal
[Thes One:] It's recording…
[Double K:] Peep this out then… one time for your mind… it's Chris Portugal and Mike Turner once again at it, 'Mak, too, is in the house at the Fishbucket tonight this evening… and they bad… give it up FOR THE FISHBUCKET! Oh shit! Yeah…
[Thes One:] These brothers, man, I've seen these guys perform in Long Beach one time, they are bad, check 'em out…
[Double K:] Ay-yo
[Thes One:] C'mon, everybody
[Double K:] Gather 'round
[Thes One:] The People Under The Stairs
[Double K:] With the brand-new sound
[Thes One:] Yo, c'mon everybody
[Double K:] Just gather 'round
[Thes One:] It's the People Under The Stairs
[Double K:] With the brand new sound
[Thes One:] Uh, rock rock, y'all
[Double K:] Don't stop y'all
[Both:] Just get your back off the wall, y'all
[Double K:] Uh, rock rock
[Both:] Y'all
[Double K:] Don't stop
[Both:] Just get your back off the wall, y'all
[Double K:]
I'm bad company for wack-ass shine like a dreads
Wear hella pearls, gather black silk, proceed to rock grills
Like Sheneneh ([Thes One:] Who that, y'all?)
Man, it's KK, straight from West L.A., pro-black like KDAY
The Crescent Heights B-Boy, known for the destroy
Up for the down stroke, punk, don't provoke
You's a joke, and I'm laughing like, "Ha ha ha ha!"
And when your song comes on the radio, I'm like, "Ha ha ha ha!"
Y'all niggas need to step back like, "Excuse me, miss."
And the dude who made your beats is going on my shitlist
For faking, perpetrating, like nobody won't know
But I inspect like the rebel, yo Thes, turn up the treble
Rock rock, y'all, uh, don't stop, y'all, it's so unique, y'all
[Thes One:] Just get your back off the wall, y'all
[Double K:] Uh, don't stop, y'all
[Both:] Cheeba cheeba, y'all
Get- a- get your back of the wall
[Double K:] Yo, Thes…
[Thes One:]
Yo, everyone's an MC ([Double K:] Yo, I know that!)
Ay-yo, I just do my best to make my shit fat
Like digging in the crates every day of the month
Step back when I pull out the wax, blow dust
Track so fresh heads can feel what we bring
Gets all up in your head, in your spot like nicotine
Referee teens to life, jerrily
We like to hip-hop on the mic, but not tonight, aight?
So, if you all want to fight, you need to take it outside
While I'm on the topic, yo, I'd like to say brown pride
And if we have to hoo-ride on the mic, then we'll do ya
MCs get N-O high no, yo, let's boo ya
And so on and so forth, here, crack a beer
I'm already on my fourth, I'm going for more
To all y'all on the floor, get away from the door
I got a couple gifts for you that I bought at the store
[Double K:] Oh yeah, bring it out on 'em
[Thes One:] Oh, here, have some more… get hot
[Double K:] Have these… take this… go on and get faded… woo, what you not?
[Thes One:]
I'm not a major-label MC with some big gold chains
I'm not scientifical, fronting like I got brains
I'm not a drug dealer, a movie actor
Or a new-jack ofay with rich benefactors
[Double K:] Check this out, y'all… I'mma go on back here… and do what I do best ([Thes One:] Do what you do) with the technique (do, do) ? and make one speak (do, do) uh let's do it! (do)
[For the rest of the track, Double K makes scratching sounds with his voice, and "scratches" "ah", "ch", and "People Under the Stairs"]
[Thes One:] Go!… Freddie, go! Jimi, go! Maggie, go! Louis, go! I like that… Bobby, go!
I want Libras! Pisces! (?) Aquarius! You go! Geminis! Rock to that! Off the wall, y'all...
Rock rock, y'all, freak freak, y'all, just get your back off the wall, y'all
Rock rock, y'all, freak freak, y'all, just get your back off the wall, y'all
Rock rock, y'all, freak freak, y'all, just get your back
[Both:] off the wall, y'all
[Thes One:] Rock rock, y'all, cheeba cheeba, y'all
Just get your back off the wall, y'all
Rock rock, y'all, freak freak, y'all, just get your back off the wall, y'all
Rock rock, y'all, Peepa-People, y'all, get your back off the wall, y'all
Uh, Mid-City, y'all, uh, Mid-City, y'all
Brown people, y'all, Brown people, y'all
Everybody…
