De La Soul Lyrics

Yo... we bout to get it (get it) get it (get it)
We are ready to take action and make things happen

get it (get it) get it (get it) get on down (down) down (down)
We are encouraging everyone to join in and have a good time

[Chorus: ] We run it, Hot! When we over the drums To the, Top! Cause the bottom we're from We got the, Drop! On your weekend crew 'Cause you're full-time talkin' while we peepin' your view
We are superior to others in the game and can see through their facade while they talk nonsense about us

Rahubat(?), you know my name I run my humbleness with fame God-body, nuttin' plain While you claimin' shepherd that you heard this You, heard this on day first Watch my man, he'll make it worse Ain't no new click, we still Native
I am a well-known artist who stays humble despite my fame, while others who claim to be superior are clueless and misinformed

Clothes knit, stitched tight, related that's the way we handle it Pin us up or mantle it We on fire you candle lit
We handle our clothing and fashion with care and style, and are always ready to ignite a crowd with our music

Daydreamin', on a rack Get bought worn and brought back We sport rhyme thought real tight To gain sizes much bigger Life life well, get mail filled with Checks from sales we deliver
We have big dreams and aspirations, and our music generates consistent income from devoted fans

Spend a little, make a little I want it big like white boy wallets Credit delivered, Fed-Excellent To my dot com, we on the web like Charlotte's Hornet, back her up, she too much on it Your plastic ass'll get swiped Past the limit see you the type To get yo' cosmetics smeared on pillows all night
We balance our finances and want to be as successful as those with wealthy backgrounds. We have a strong internet presence and know how to maintain it. We can see through those who are fake and superficial

While we peepin' your view While we, peepin' your view We got they eyes on lock Let them flock to your wit while I spit after you
We are observing and analyzing how others perceive us and continuing to create impactful music

Look ma, I'm still rhymin' Baby boy still providin' Breakin' bread in four states Makin' these struggles get gone
Despite progressing in our careers, we still continue to make music while providing for ourselves and overcoming obstacles and challenges

Private eyes, I see why'all spyin' You watch while I clock Fertilize my brain data Makin' accounts grow green like the front lawns
We can see through those who are trying to spy or bring us down, and continue to grow intellectually and financially

Yo I may be old school But I'm not no old fool Heard out your mouth words flee 'Bout 'These n*ggaz ain't nice' You just barbershop talkin' While we round the world walkin' be, you ain't D.M.C.
We may be considered old school, but we are not outdated or foolish. Those who speak negatively about us are just spreading rumors and trying to bring us down. We have traveled the world and gained respect from many, distinguishing us from others in the industry

You slip and fall on my ice No lyin', straight shinin' I give you supper from my upper diamond You got limbs so climb in Yo, soak up what you find-in We too pure for you to try You sniffin' maybe's and if's And if 'if' was a spliff Man we'd all be hiiigh-iiigh.. iiiggghhh.. .. But it's not, so sober up You flashin' out like you paparaz' You'll need to take a liver shot To feel the heat on how we runnin' it, yo
We are shining bright and providing great opportunities for others to succeed. We value honesty and purity and expect others to do the same. You are caught up in possibilities and uncertainty and need to stay grounded in reality. We are continuing to run the game and will not let others bring us down

'Cause you're full time talkin' while we, while we While we lettin' you know I'm in a Certified rhyme meadow for days If you ask Mercenary bout this shit, it pays Hitting Willie Mays style out the park Mastering in this +Art+ that's +Official+ Your ears absorb this like tears, on a tissue 'Cause my thoughts are dollar bill crisp Distinct like E-Double's lisp L.I. alumni, wonder why I got it Got it? Get a piece Got product that you all should own and not lease Some say drummers play synonymous with ill With wordplay, that keep us all paid like a bill We're the parent company You the sub in my d-i-vision You don't know how...
We are tired of others talking about us and would rather let our accomplishments and music speak for themselves. We have become very successful through hard work and dedication, bringing our unique style to the game. Our music is powerful and resonates with many listeners, generating high revenue. We are the leaders in the industry, with others following in our footsteps while we continuously innovate and create. You do not understand our perspective and what it takes to be successful like us
