O.S.T. Remix
Written by: Michael Turner & Christopher Portugal
[Rap sample with beatboxing:] Check this out! (repeated)
[Double K:] Hey, Thes One… ([Thes One:] What's up?) Check this out, man! I be hearing this and that, niggas talking this and this ([Thes One:] Word?) 'bout how we… we ain't got no good raps and all that, beats is cool, but we ain't rapping… what you think about that, man?
[Thes One:] Not ? right. Yeah!
[Double K:] Step up to the microphone, show these dudes what we made of, what we about. Peace out. Show 'em. One time.
[Thes One:]
The raw-deal raider of cross-faders with flavor
Swinging through battles like lightsabers with beta
The ADAT track contaminator, word creator
I template to eight or sixteen, none greater
To run haters up poles with no soul, so
You confront my blow where my word's paroled
The street-level I disheveled I rebel I breakers
Keyboard kids, rhyme biters, and drum takers
I make a run, later one at a time
Combine elements of thoughts to my rhymes
In the sequence to freak frequencies, connect
Complicated like the Human Genome Project
The origin of information in chromatin
Controlling the board, my name's synonym for "win"
I begat you and coming at you, so play statue
Or freeze tag, iced-up bags of body bags with mouth gags
Made it through rags, you lollygag, pushing the Jag
I'm putting in work like a Maytag
Applicance with my rebel alliance of street clients
Underground finest, highly-regarded highness for the lowness
The People Under the Stairs, they blow this spot up
Shot up by Thes One, now you know this, man
We're two-for-one like a tall can
So fall off the wagon of band and be a fan of
[Both:] Original, coming mad fly and on point
[Rap sample:] Check this out…
[Rap sample:] There's something wrong… on the dance floor
[Both:] With the sound to make the party people get down
[Rap sample:] Check this out…
[Rap sample:] 'Cause it's like I had to make one
[Both:] We original, coming mad fly and on point
[Rap sample:] Check this out…
[Rap sample:] There's something wrong… on the dance floor
[Both:] From the street's concrete, y'all bang this joint
[Rap sample:] Check this out…
[Rap sample:] Then my last one won't get my sweet gun
[Rap sample:] Listen up good as we run it down (x2)
[Double K:] [beatboxes]… yo… yo, it's like [beatboxes]
[Double K:]
Now, to my knowledge and understanding, we in demand
Command tracks, manhandle wax
We doing it for the sake of raising the stakes
These niggas is fake, put down the microphone
Pick up some gloves and a rake and think about it
Who stay grounded in the richest of soil
The finest since your first pop-lock, keep your shot blocked
Prepare to defend, yo, prepare to take notice
Show those crendentials to crewmates, back up or it'll be late
'Cause we take no excuses when you're time is up
Pink slips be handed out without a doubt, I'm outspoken
No award and on tour for the people to clap
React quick without an encore, straight off to the record store
Jumping off the shelves be the jam of the year
People Under The Stand clear, it's a world premiere
Coming at you from two of the illest since Arnold and Willis
But one's a little lighter, Peruvian rhyme reciter
Lock it down on biters (yo) who wanna tamper
We'll damper your plans and herb your man
Pull the plug on your stage show, then back to the streets
To lay low with the spirit-sippers and girl-hitters
We go-getters… original… from the start
Thes One and Mike T, we firefighters of the art
DJs across the land: lend a hand and bang this
Kicking that slanguange, everybody sang this
We original, coming mad fly, but yo, chill
'Cause while you cowards keeping it real, we bringing it ill
The anti-wack-rap coalition on a mission
We working everything in sight, keeping fools wishing (right?)
[Both:] We original, coming mad fly and on point
[Rap sample:] Check this out…
[Rap sample:] There's something wrong… on the dance floor
[Both:] With the sound to make the party people get down
[Rap sample:] Check this out…
[Rap sample:] Going in to DJ, but not my hardest
[Both:] Yo, we original, coming mad fly and on point
[Rap sample:] Check this out…
[Rap sample:] There's something wrong… on the dance floor
[Both:] From the street's concrete, y'all bang this joint
[Rap sample:] Check this out…
[Rap sample:] ? that we don't quit
[Rap sample:] Listen up good as we run it down (x4)
