Montego Slay
People Under the Stairs Lyrics

We tackle rhymes like your life lays time
We approach our lyrics with intensity as if our lives depend on it

We trying to get enough, we gotta fill up
We are striving for success and need to gain recognition through our music

Before it's all gone the song remains on
We want our music to remain relevant and impactful even after our time has passed

Until the beat stops, never mind, no need to remind
We will continue rapping until there is no more beat and are confident in our skills

You know who we be, yo it's the capital G's
We are the top-notch MCs with great skill and talent

Putting the P's in hip hop
We contribute to the modern hip hop genre with our music and lyrics

Saying, hi to the hoes who wear hardly any clothes
We acknowledge and greet the women who dress in revealing attire

Here's looking at you, watching you, watching me, the incredible MC
We recognize the attention our skills are drawing and are proud of our abilities

Chicks call me Mikey (why's that?)
Women are attracted to me and give me the nickname 'Mikey'

'Cause I like it, they stare when I'm digging it
I enjoy the attention from women and they admire me for it

And know they wanna try
Women are interested in pursuing a relationship with me

They like the way I rap, they like the way I chill
Women appreciate my music and laid-back personality

Couple hours in a conversation, show 'em how I thrill
I'm able to captivate women with my interesting and engaging conversations

I'm a one minute man, I lick it then split it
I am not interested in long term relationships and prefer quick encounters

Empty it out, fill it in like the blank and I'm out
I am able to quickly move on from relationships and am not looking for anything long-term

Big Mike, that's right, give 'em something they can feel
My lyrics and music are able to create a strong emotional connection with listeners

Yo, I'm the top-ranked chief on the wheels of steel
I am skilled at DJing and considered one of the best in the industry

I walk the streets of LA and feel comfortable
I feel confident and at ease in my environment in Los Angeles

Me and the homie make music and they coming with bull
People may doubt our abilities but our music speaks for itself

So next time you got a rhyme that's blazing hot
When other MCs think their lyrics are great

Throw it away, People Under to save the day
Our group is far superior and we can outdo anyone else

Sometimes it ain't timed, sometimes it can't be
You cannot always control when inspiration strikes

This time we kick back and let your conscious be free
Relax and let your thoughts and creativity flow without any constraints

The music is playing loud and we never have to leave
We can stay in this moment forever enjoying the music

Beautiful brown skin lady, you move something
Complimenting a woman's attractive appearance and dance skills

Montego Bay style, smile from the Caribbean isle
Referencing the exotic location and culture from which the woman may originate

No fronting while we pumping the beat
We are truly enjoying the music and not pretending

Audiophiles that jump in like I light up the seat
Music lovers that become excited when they hear a great song, just as I become excited when I sit down to create music

With the complete vibe, scooters and 45s
Creating a great atmosphere by combining various instruments and beats

The palm trees, Red Stripe nights, the calm breeze
Imagery of the beautiful and relaxed setting that inspired the music creation

The type to relax, ease back to conceive wax
The best way to create music is by being calm and relaxed

And contact the origin of habitat
Going back to the roots of music to draw inspiration

Two cats making it fat, it's like that
Two musicians who are succeeding greatly in their music career

With a rap similar to a pitter-pat of a cat
Our lyrics and music have a smooth flow, similar to the sound of a cat walking

Walking the roof to make it back to the truth
Staying true to ourselves and our music while navigating the complexities of the music industry

I dig crates for the late great existence of black plates
Finding old vinyl records that serve as inspiration to create new music

To booming the eighths on the floor
Using these old records to create new and exciting music

Making you want more, leaving my mark like a Doc Mart' on a wood floor
Producing music that is so good, it leaves listeners wanting more and garners attention and respect

It's good for the soul like dinner with your moms
Our music has a positive impact on people, as strong as a home-cooked meal from a mother

People Under the Stairs, the duo that drop bombs
Our group is highly respected and our music is groundbreaking and influential

Snares laid back like armchairs, hit the beach I'm outta reach
Our music has a relaxed beat similar to a comfortable armchair and we are living the high life enjoying the beach

So play my CD and let it teach the recipe
Our music can teach and inspire others to create their own music

Half D. Crocker, half David T. Walker
We are influenced by both classic soul music and modern hip hop

Fresh breath control like Binaca
We have amazing control over our music and lyrics which is as refreshing as a breath mint

Buh-bye, Yes man, never gon' leave, man, stay right here
We are staying in this moment enjoying the music and good vibes

Listening to the good tunes, cooling out
We are enjoying the great music and taking a break to relax

In here to rough up the track, rough up the track
We are here to produce incredible music that is unique and creative

Not the people, yes yes, to the People Under the Stairs
We want the focus to be on our music and not on us as individuals

Irie, irie, irie
A Jamaican term meaning everything is great and good vibes are present

Brush them off, thrash up the dancehall
Dancing and enjoying the music while ignoring negative energy or criticism

This shit is long, fresh
Our music is innovative and incredible

Wow, oh, look at that, whoa, ooh, that's a-
Expressing excitement and amazement at something
