The Thang-Thang
Madlib & Prince Po Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With Madlib taking over the airwaves
(Give me my goddamned cheeseburger)
Different strokes for different folks
Don't be ashamed, motherfucker, raise your hands
Prince Po
Yeah
Ow!
Why you hogging dog, pass that!
Mash it, the sweat splash down your asscrack
Peel out, but roll up something before you jump on the five
Alley cat on the rise like NASDAQ
Love when I lick her inner thighs, ooh
I seen you with that bitch but wasn't gonna say nothing
But you treat a sister good while other cats stay fronting
In other words, boy, we good tonight
Prince Po, ghetto love, I bring the hood to the mic
It's so real like Kevin fans without having a deal
I'm all night, can't even sling crack without some skill
Bob Barkin', spark it if the price is right
Do what you feel
"Prince Po, bringing the thang-thang"
"I got if if y'all want it, all the bullshit niggas is popping, yeah I done it"
"Niggas know the dial, so chill for a while"
"One time for my peoples"
"Keep going"
"All the bullshit niggas is popping, yeah I done it"
"Like that"
"Uh.. what"
"That's part one, this is... part two, girl"
Girl, touch yourself and let the world konw
Hip-hop is love, step with Prince Po
I'm not a thing thug but I'm kind of slick, toe to toe
Back in the middix with some lyrics to go
I throw stones til Stones Throw out hardcore joints
To make bones grow, peaceful, but a beast with the .44
Never go out my reach for the cho-cho
You be tricking but snitch is a no-no
Underground gritty gorilla gargantua romancin' ya
Barry White ya 'til its time to go
You see, Egon told me to pee on, emcees be gone
These ice cold flows getting hot girls dancing
Klingon
"Prince Po, bringing the thang-thang"
"I got it if y'all want it, all the bullshit niggas is popping, yeah I done it"
"There'll be no bullshit, there'll be no hit chorus"
"Ready to rot, fuck your pace"
"all the bullshit niggas is popping, yeah I done it"
"I'm infinite, I'm yesterday, today, tonight
Tomorrow morning, you see this is your future talking"
Reactivate 'em, marinate 'em
Nasty habits, flavors straight cajun
Claim you Jamaican but you hate Bajan
Quick to blush grace and can't replace a razor
Cats claim the best smoke, I'm just blazin'
Lyrics vivid, just ask Wes Craven
Feel my heavy metal rock, the black Iron Maiden
I'm far from the plantation, but I'm still slavin'
False misbehavin', good business player
Certified heavyweight when I'm awaited
Lyrically out of shape dogs, you whack and lack training
I'm on Access like Ben and Matt Damon
Now do what you feel
"Prince Po, bringing the thang-thang"
"Think not... to show what you got"
"Prince Po"
"The shit's too hot"
"Prince Po"
"Too hot (Prince Po)... on the M.I.C."
"Prince Po"
"I.C, I.C."
"Prince Po"
