The Next Level
Alkaholiks ft. Diamond D Lyrics

Welcome to the next level
We're taking our music and flow to the next level of freshness and innovation.

The L-I-K-S, what makes them motherfuckers so damn fresh
We, the Alkaholiks, have a unique, fresh style and flow that sets us apart from the rest.

Youse a nigga everybody diss cause you can't bust this
People diss you because you can't compete with our superior flow and rhymes.

You got a bad name like Dick Butkis
Your reputation is tarnished and unpopular, like the former NFL player Dick Butkis.

Welcome to the next level, of rhyme flowin'
Join us in taking our music and rhyming skills to new levels of innovation and creativity.

Scratchin', hookin' up beats, and hoe catchin'
Our skills in DJing, producing beats, and attracting women are all top-notch.

Everytime I come home, I got fifty messages
I am highly desirable and have many people seeking my attention.

I only call back the girls with big big breasteses
I have a preference for women with large breasts and only choose to call them back.

Ooh, I got bitties, in all the major cities
I have many women in different cities who are interested in me.

The safest way to have sex is right between her (tittes)
Having sex between a woman's breasts is a safe and enjoyable option.

I beeped this fillie from Philly, we was puffin on a Phillie
I contacted a woman from Philadelphia and we were smoking cigars together.

She started actin' silly, so I popped her like a Willie
She started acting foolishly, so I put her in her place.

I'm like Cucamonga, I'm way out
I am unpredictable and outside of the norm, like the city of Cucamonga in California.

And you know I got the flow that'll never play out
My flow and style are timeless and will never become outdated.

I was raised in Cali just like a palm tree
I am from California, where palm trees are common and symbolic of my upbringing.

I rock the mic from London to the Mohabi
My skills and performances are impressive and can be enjoyed all over the world.

Tash Diamond D and the Ro to the J
These are the names of rappers and collaborators featured in the song.

Amazing feats happen when we come out to play
Our collective talent and abilities result in amazing performances when we collaborate.

Out the funk bag of tricks
We draw from a variety of funk-inspired techniques and styles.

Just for kicks, I represent with the Liks
I am proud to represent and perform with the Alkaholiks.

So here's the Vicks, I'm hittin' harder than a brick
I am powerful and effective, like a hit from a brick or Vick's VapoRub.

Tricks get slick, and face the dick real quick
People who try to trick or deceive us will face consequences and retaliation quickly.

You better recognize, adjust your bifocals
Recognize and acknowledge our superiority and adjust your perception accordingly.

Your style is local, I sit on beats in Acapulco
Your style is limited and restricted to a local area, while I travel and produce beats in exotic locations like Acapulco.

I put words together like Peter Jennings
My skills in writing and rhyming rival the talent of Peter Jennings in journalism.

And skate on motherfuckers like Peggy Flemming
I move quickly and smoothly, like Olympic figure skater Peggy Flemming.

So woah to those who owe
People who owe us will face consequences and retaliation.

From one oh four five six to nine oh two one oh
This is a range of zip codes that encompasses a large area of California.

I'm sippin' on pina colada
I am enjoying a tropical, alcoholic drink.

Two blocks off La Cienega, at the Ramada
This is a specific hotel located near La Cienega Boulevard in California.

But hold up, I'm not done yet
I have more to say and performances to give.

I get hard like the perm pimps wear on Sunset
I become strong and powerful, like the perm pimps who roam Sunset Boulevard.

So recognize when you feel it
Acknowledge the power and talent present in our music and performances.

DITC, you can't steal it, aight
This is a reference to the group 'Diggin' in the Crates', indicating that our style is unique and incomparable.

For all my niggaz in the places with blunts in they faces
This is a shoutout to our fans who are enjoying marijuana while listening to our music.

Off the two turntables with the anvil cases
We are producing our music using two turntables and sturdy, heavy cases to protect them.

It's the L-I-K's that blaze and amaze that
Our group, the Alkaholiks, are known for our impressive, innovative style and performances.

(Gots to roll deep) in these crazy-ass days
We must have a strong, unified presence in order to navigate through the difficult times we are living in.

Bu the Alkaholik rhymer, King Tee and Diamond D
These are the names of rappers and collaborators featured in the song.

Got the gats pointed at ya like we're to round three
We are prepared and aggressive, like boxers in round three of a match.

Cause nineteen ninety-four is the year we overdo it
We are taking our talents and performances to the next level in this year of 1994.

With the house party beats and flowin' like fluid
Our music combines fun, party beats with smooth, fluid rhymes and styles.

Cause ain't nothin' too but to do that shit and print it
We are fully committed to our craft and will produce and share our music with the world.

But it's all about the loot so every move is documented
While we are passionate about our music, we also have a financial incentive and must document every move we make.

And vented, by the man born for lyric kickin'
Our performances and talents are documented and shared by those who were born to produce, write, and perform music.

Coolin' out with your bitch eatin' sweet and sour chicken
We enjoy relaxing and spending time with the women in our lives, often while enjoying a popular Chinese takeout dish.

Exceeding Visa limits if the tab's on you
If you are responsible for paying for something, we are not afraid to spend beyond our credit card limits in order to enjoy it.

I get drunk and reminisce about the shit I used to do
When I drink, I often think back on the wild and fun things I used to do in the past.

We used ta, take out crews as a hobby after two in the lobby
We used to enjoy starting trouble with other groups in the lobby of a building.

Me, Mike D, and my beatbox Robby
These are the names of collaborators who used to participate in starting trouble with other groups.

Sendin kids back to the lab for more practice
We are skilled and talented performers who often leave other groups feeling underprepared and in need of more practice.

The only way they'd win, if we battled to see who's the wackest
We are confident in our superiority and would only lose to another group in a competition to see who is worse.

Ten years later, still a hip-hop slave
We are dedicated to our craft and still committed to producing and performing hip hop music ten years later.

A prehistoric b-boy makin' beats in my cave
We are ancient and expert in the world of hip hop, making beats from our own secluded space.

It's the, liquid flows that we spillin' on ya
Our music flows smoothly and impressively, like liquid being poured over the listener.

Broadcastin' live from Southern California, and we out
We are broadcasting our music and style from Southern California and are wrapping up our performance.

My men, my men
This is a general statement about our group and collaborators.

[Chorus]
This is the chorus that repeats throughout the song, introducing the overall themes of innovation and talent among the Alkaholiks and their collaborators.
