Quid Control (DJ Yoda feat. People Under The Stairs)
Written by: Michael Turner, Christopher Portugal & Duncan Beiny
[Thes One:]
Quid control, me and the pros hitting Heathrow
Stansted, Gatwick, Luton and Municipal
This highfalutin spittable syllable rhyme-shootin' MC
Has rocked crowds from Aberdeen to Swansea
And left swiftly to get up on the M3 ([Spoken sample:] Three!)
M42 (Two), M1, know end-to-end the one (One)
We'll even travel A-roads to play shows
Brother, from south southern, and sunny time to snow
Runnin' rhymes like cargo lorries across the UK
We hitting Moto, Little Chef, break along the way
To the scene eating Walker's Vinegar in the green bag
I don't drink Ribena or Lucozade
I don't eat the elephant leg that spins in the window
When the lights glow, it's time to rock shows
I might go hostile, sound man: pump the sound like a crossbow
Even in Gaelic, Welsh style, I slay foes
Self syllable, sailboat style in Bristol
Wreck the Thekla, rock the boat like a missile
See, me and Double K, shoes off in the thistle
Travelcard, travel hard, Thameslink, Eurostar
Miss it? Yeah, my home is far, but I rock hard
'Cause UK crowds got my back like a guard
So if you hear my star, travelling hard in town (town)
Gather up your pounds (pounds)
Gather 'round and check the sound
'Cause we'll be on stage with the fortified sound
Puttin' letters together like we're on Countdown
'Cause Thes is on stage with the fortified sound
Puttin' letters together like I'm on Countdown.
[Thes One:] Quid Control
[Spoken sample:] I get cash!
[Rap sample:] Having fun
[Spoken sample:] Yeah
[Thes One:] Quid Control
[Rap sample:] Heads rock, heads bop, now my job's done
[Thes One:] Quid Control
[Rap sample:] Pockets full of money
[Rap sample:] Having fun
[Spoken sample:] Yeah…
[Thes One:] Quid Control
[Rap sample:] Seems to me
[Rap sample:] We, like, number one
[Both:] ([Spoken sample:] Oh, my God! [repeated and scratched])
We know you can't understand our flow
'Cause we are from L.A., fo-oh-oh sho'
We know that you love the way that we rock
So all you sucker MCs, just get up off our jock, and let's do it
[Double K:]
It sounds like the end of our tour, mixed with the fly love scene
Chilling with my sunglasses, looking mean
But feelin alright, all night, it's the P
Not down with Ali G, I'm down with Leeds
Where we smoke big weed and get the crowd jumping
And screaming, me and Thes, like a new rugby team, and
The ghost with the most, straight from the West Coast
Big fellas with the Stellas in hand, here's the plan
Build a castle in the middle of Sheffield and chill
Hang out, listen to funk, when there's time to kill
Middle finger for the haters, and bowls for the skaters
Loud music for your neighbors, you know there ain't no greater
'Cause when we're on stage, it's like a Saint Paddy parade
Blasting off, the big beat diggin' brigade
Fat Lace up in your place, watch the beer in your face
Double K's a disgrace, and I'm a mess after the show
So yo, watch your ho, if you know about them pros
Invading the mixtapes, cut it up to the paste
DJ Yoda, he ain't gettin no older
I'm gettin bolder, cannibis socks, the hip hop Redd Foxx.

[Double K:] All day, up and down the UK
Hey, Thes One, man, where you at?
[Thes One:] They told me London is in the house
We heard that DJ Yoda, he is in the house
And DJ Greenpe-e-eace, he is in the house
Fat Lace Magazine, they are in the house
I guess that London is really in the house
People Under The Stairs
[Double K:] Check it out…
[Thes One:] We are in the house

[Double K:] Non stop…
[Thes One:] You are in the house
[Double K:] I'll let the tube stop…
[Thes One:] We are in the house, so let's get down tonight
[Double K:] DJ Greenpeace… DJ Yoda… ain't gettin' no older
You know what I'm saying? Fat Lace, lace em up! And we gone…
