Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'd like to teach the world to sing
in perfect harmony
What's your name?
I'm Teddy Ted
My name is Greg Nice
and I'm MC Smooth Bee
[Greg Nice]
Humor! I'll make you laugh
Go take a bath you don't know the half
Yeah my structure, is like a skyscraper
Greg, Nice not a comic book caper
Like Bruce Wayne or even Dick Grayson
I'm not Freddie and I'm not Jason
I hate base and, chasin clouds of illusion
Mass confusion, which drug are you usin?
Greg, N-I-see-E
Freelance style, mother's last child
I'm buckwild don't make me pull your file
Used to wear a frown now you wear a smile
Teddy Ted is the jewel of the Nile
The original ooh child, versatile
Eagles want to fly, rappers made to ramble
My name is Greg Nice I used to scramble
Met this dip who changed my world around
At night she wore diamonds and pearls, and I say
what a way to agree, she walked up to me and said umm
"Oh no, it can't be!
The incredible sounds of Greg N-I-see-E"
I said yes, Nice Greg, Greg N-I-see-E
Come to my cabin baby doll and see
Thirty minutes we can go around the galaxy
She, bought it for sure when I walked through the door
Turned around I saw her bloomers on the floor
I said umm, golly gee I know this can't be
Then I thought BA-BOW did it all for me
So we got busy and her name was Missy
I gave her permission to be my main squeeze
Never felt lips like these, I'm telling you!
She blessed me well, made me perspire
Missy, my number one heart's desire
[Smooth Bee]
Rhymes, rhymes, rhymes
I just write rhymes, as I incline I design
Denyin me is like frontin on Jesus
And it's a sin to begin, knowing you'll never win
You want to be my friend? Blend
I can't extend, neither pretend
to be better than the next man, that only comes in when
others try to apprehend fake styles and then smile
while I create rhymes by the miles
No hot towels, nor weak bowels
What's with the why's anw who's, you're not an owl
I'm watching you, mm-hmm, ready to close in
And like a thief in the night, nobody knows
when I'll strike and flex and vex, against your literature
I don't bite but I write while you snore
I have to rupture your senses while you pay consequences
Smooth Bee not he now battle commences
I'm VICKING YOU! Of all your knowledge and all of your lessons
Of all your strifes through life and all your BLESSINGS
Terminating you! Subtracting cells from your brain
Can you refrain? Let me explain
Nice & Smooth came to leave a stain
Nice & Smooth came to leave a stain
The beginning of Nice & Smooth's "Perfect Harmony" is a lighthearted, out-of-tune rendition of a familiar tune (The New Seekers' "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing"). However, as the song progresses, the duo switches gears as the verses showcase their individual talents as MCs. Greg Nice's verse highlights his humor and unique, powerful voice, while Smooth Bee's verse showcases his lyrical skill and wordplay. Together, they create a memorable and bold track that sets them apart from other hip-hop acts.
The chorus of "Perfect Harmony" centers around the idea of unity and bringing people together in harmony. This idea is woven throughout the song, as Nice & Smooth insist that they "came to leave a stain" and "teach the world to sing in perfect harmony," using hip-hop music as a vessel for this message.
Overall, "Perfect Harmony" is a fun, upbeat track that showcases Nice & Smooth's versatility as artists. The catchy chorus, paired with the impressive verses, create a song that stays with the listener long after it has ended.

Met this dip who changed my world around
I met this woman who changed my perspective and outlook on life

She believed my boastful words when I first arrived
Turned around I saw her bloomers on the floor
I looked up and saw her underwear on the floor
I said umm, golly gee I know this can't be
I was surprised and shocked by the situation
Then I thought BA-BOW did it all for me
I realized that she did it to impress me
So we got busy and her name was Missy
We had sex and her name was Missy
I gave her permission to be my main squeeze
I approved of her being my main romantic partner
Never felt lips like these, I'm telling you!
Her kisses were unlike any I've ever experienced
She blessed me well, made me perspire
She pleased me and made me sweat
Missy, my number one heart's desire
Missy became my top romantic interest
Rhymes, rhymes, rhymes
I love making rhymes
I just write rhymes, as I incline I design
I write rhymes whenever I feel inspired and create them with care
Denyin me is like frontin on Jesus
Rejecting my rhymes is like disrespecting Jesus
And it's a sin to begin, knowing you'll never win
It's a mistake to start a battle with me because you'll never win
You want to be my friend? Blend
Do you want to be my friend? You need to mesh well with me
I can't extend, neither pretend
I can't give you more than what I am capable of or pretend to be someone I'm not
to be better than the next man, that only comes in when
I don't try to be better than anyone else unless it's necessary
others try to apprehend fake styles and then smile
Others try to copy fake styles and act pleased with it
while I create rhymes by the miles
I create rhymes frequently and in large quantities
No hot towels, nor weak bowels
I'm not offering any fancy amenities nor am I weak
What's with the why's anw who's, you're not an owl
Don't be overly curious and ask too many unnecessary questions, you're not an owl
I'm watching you, mm-hmm, ready to close in
I'm observing you closely and preparing to attack
And like a thief in the night, nobody knows
I will attack unexpectedly and no one will know when
when I'll strike and flex and vex, against your literature
I will attack aggressively and intelligently against your rhymes
I don't bite but I write while you snore
I don't physically harm anyone but I write rhymes while you sleep
I have to rupture your senses while you pay consequences
I need to shock and overwhelm your senses while you suffer the consequences
Smooth Bee not he now battle commences
I am not a coward and I am ready to start a battle
I'm VICKING YOU! Of all your knowledge and all of your lessons
I will defeat you soundly and make you lose all your knowledge and experience
Of all your strifes through life and all your BLESSINGS
I will take away all the struggles and successes that you've had in life
Terminating you! Subtracting cells from your brain
I will completely destroy you by removing parts of your brain
Can you refrain? Let me explain
Can you control yourself? Let me give you more information
Nice & Smooth came to leave a stain
Nice & Smooth came to make a lasting impression
Nice & Smooth came to leave a stain
Nice & Smooth came to make a lasting impression
