O.S.T. (Original Soundtrack) (feat. Odell)
Written by: Michael Turner, Christopher Portugal, & Odell Johnson
[Recording machine sample:] You have 15 old messages…
[Odell:] Yes, it's brass and winter calling… um… [clears throat]… that travelling copier you say um… might be anyway and um… see what time they are on 1:10 on a barstool for dropping chocolate on eire on the scene… anyway minnie um… might get more as always… so want area code tell me uh… (3-2-3) 9-([Spoken sample:] Musical dope!) -1, if it's after Michael, tell him to give me a linkage, or give me a linkage and let me know what's up… right on fearsome… Rastafar…
[Odell:] ? Yosh! This one nah come to you and you… man called Thes On… Double K, along side one Odell… People Under Them Stairs. Flash you! There what you call Original Soundtrack!
[Odell:] The Original Soundtrack, I know we get on tour
It's no disrespect, yagga-yo.
([Double K:] Uh, uh, yeah, I'm saying… it's the P, y'all)
[Double K:]
Yo, to my knowledge and understanding, we the ones that demand it
Commanding the tracks, manhandle wax when it's dug for
On smoking when we on tour, the encore you blaze for
I blaze more (I blaze more), before I can say more
That's just the way I am, and that's the way that I rock
Whether I'm chilling in London or slapping fives on the block
I got soul like a mother, she rap like Pete's younger brother
Fat boy wonder, putting bustas in a slummer now
Keep it on the underground, you know I'm trying to get down
From town to town, give all my peoples a pound
Never complicated, keep it street-related, pro-faded
For the junkies in the back, and that's digging the cold rap
And DJs across the land, yeah, this one's for you
Put a hole through your Vestax, harassing your crew
The Kings of Loops have arrived, live for the naked eye
Trying to run and duplicate, my man why try?
[Double K:] 'Cause we original, coming mad fly and on point
With the sound to make the party people get down
And big tracks, smooth, hardcore, or relaxed
Uh, kick back with the P, we already went back
And we original, coming mad fly and on point
From the streets, concrete, y'all bang this joint
Keep on talking and jiving on how the P don't quit
It's Thes One and Double K with that [brrrumpa] sh…
[Thes One:]
Raider of the lost art, cross-fader sage parting
The lines of the rhyme with page, I make art, straight line, I write mine
Auditory pipeline, lifeline, I'm living the… in real-time
Now the city sweats blood, if and when the moon shines
Through the haze of mankind, loving its evil ways
And the days are no better, so your door unlock it
Keep a 45 adaptor riding in back pockets
I walk streets, dig, eat, bump a new beat
Take a time-zone tour, then I rest my feet
The complete house party wreckers, the Black and the Decker
Who Dust Busters, they stand like Custer
The last to catch the funk, blast from the trusta
And crates, so the funkless can stand by the 8s
And the boom through their bones from here to nice homes
See the P is the last one sitting on the throne
[Thes One:] Original, coming mad fly and on point
With the sound to make the party people get down
And big tracks, smooth, hardcore or relaxed
To kick back with the P, we already went back
We original, coming mad fly and on point
And from the streets, concrete, y'all bang this joint
To keep 'em talking and jiving on how the P don't quit
Double K and Thes One, we on that funky sh…
[Odell:] Original Soundtrack, I know we get on tour
It's no disrespect, yagga-yo.
[Odell:]
The tala come both, and she go on like a rider
But really what she look, he's a man, a provider
She have to take me and none of them are survivor
? me's a want a-no driver
And if you want the truth, I'm at you tell you my bredder
Beauty's in the eye of the only beholder
And if you wanted something, come kick up
You better tell 'em said a ruler if you want a defender
[Odell:] Original Soundtrack, I know we get on tour
It's no disrespect, yagga-yo.
Original Soundtrack, I know we get on tour
It's no disrespect… know why?
[Rapped sample:] Remember this sound is the talk of the town
Listen this sound ?
Remember this sound is the talk of the town
It comes down ?
Remember this sound is the talk of the town
?
Remember this sound is the talk of the town
Talk of the country… hey! (repeated and scratched)
[Spoken sample:] Our slogan at the time was, um… "What USC needs is a good five-cent ?, and I was, uh… I was an advocate of the ?… What's good enough for Chicago is good enough for USC, right? Um… I was unsuccessful in that, uh, presidential bid, and as a result, the following year, I, uh, escalated the campaign rhetoric, and…
