In the House
Pete Rock C.L. Smooth Lyrics

I'd like to introduce myself
Hello, I am Pete Rock and I am here to make my presence known

Check it out and give me my 'spect
Pay attention and show me respect for my skills and talent

Hit the lights and I appear beyond the stratosphere of Meccable function
When the stage lights come on, I become an otherworldly force to be reckoned with

And if you're pretty let your lady sleep in Carmel City
If you have a beautiful woman with you, let her rest in luxury in Carmel City

Begin and end the day on Lennon hunts for beachfronts
Start and finish your day looking for the perfect beachfront while listening to John Lennon

To lit blunts, now all agreed we're sippin OJ with the Dom P
After smoking marijuana, we have all come to a consensus to drink orange juice mixed with champagne

Bounce and bring it like it counts to be Luccified
We need to move and dance with purpose as if it's important to be surrounded by luxury and elegance

CL is sextified and women spell me nationwide
I am alluring and attractive, and women all over the country are attracted to me

You say you want my lips where and I can grab your what?
You're trying to make a romantic advance on me, but I need clarification on which body part you want me to kiss and which part you want me to grab

I love your hips legs breasts faces with the firm butt
I find you attractive and sexy in all parts of your body, including your hips, legs, breasts, face, and firm buttocks

Now feel the muscle when I hustle in the bedsheets
Feel the strength in my movements when we are having sexual intercourse

Cause my manly treats can hit the fridge for more sweet
My manly behavior and sexuality can always be satisfied with more food from the refrigerator

SPLASH, and let me do my thing til it's hot and sweaty
Let me continue doing what I'm doing until we are both hot and sweaty

Reload the CamCorder, I guess by then you'll be ready
We need to recharge the CamCorder and I assume that by then, you will be ready for more sexual activity

Cause All My Children got One Life to Live
We only have one life to live, so let's make the most of it

But knockin wifey out the box is clearly a negative
Cheating on my wife is definitely a bad thing to do and should be avoided

I'm in rugged wears with fancy facial wears
I am wearing tough, durable clothes with stylish and fashionable accessories

And all the real shit come in pairs, and bounce em in the house y'all
The best things in life come in pairs, so let's enjoy and appreciate them while we're all together

Back again, I'm here to win, to bust rhymes on beats again
I am back once again and ready to win by delivering great rhymes on top of amazing beats

Copycats and rugrats, sit back and watch a champion
Imitators and children should just sit back and watch me, a true champion, do my thing

It's time to wreck shop and show the world I'm true to hip-hop
It's time for me to dominate and show everyone that I am dedicated to the art of hip-hop

So check the style and peace to niggas in the penile
Take a look at my style and also give some love, respect, and peace to those who are incarcerated

Now umm, it's the original Funky Chicken tactic
I am using my original technique of performing the Funky Chicken dance

I run game on your brain for the fame cause I'm active
I'm playing mental games to achieve fame and success, and I'm very proactive in doing so

You try to follow in my footsteps, you can't do it
You may try to emulate my success, but you won't be able to replicate it

It's Pete Rock and CL Smooth to the utmost
I am here with CL Smooth, and we are at our very best

From coast to coast, the music makes you overdose
Our music extends from the East Coast to the West Coast and has the power to intoxicate and overwhelm you

You fiend, for the gangsta lean, I makes you scream
You crave the gangsta lean music and it makes you scream with excitement

Rugged Bro Soul on the scene
There is a strong sense of raw, masculine soul present in our music

A.k.a. the funk doer, numero uno, that means
Also known as the doer of funk, I am the number one in my field, and that means...

Number one I get the job done plus I pack a gun
I am the best at what I do and also carry a firearm for protection

So run, and tell your peoples you'll be on the lookout
You should run and tell your friends to look out for me

It's all about "Who's in the House?" with the funk
The most important thing is who is present in the building and bringing the funk

Money up steps the new era of my lyrical terror
With more success comes a new era of my lyrical dominance

Funkadelic for lightin up spots ever since little tots
I have always had a naturally funky and soulful presence, even from a young age

When the dust settle I'm packin heavy metal plenty
When everything is said and done, I am carrying lots of valuable things

The drop'll slaughter many, strictly off illegal entry
I can cause a lot of destruction with one drop, and I may do so through illegal means of entry

It's elementary Watson, I drive a Benz not a Datsun
It's obvious, my dear Watson, that I drive a Mercedes-Benz rather than a Datsun

Before my kicks hit the stage, we've been Foot Locking
Before I even start performing, I've been shopping at the shoe store Foot Locker

Body rockin to keep the ladies flockin with a concoction
I am rocking my body to attract more women with my smooth and seductive style

Rippin your blouse for no less than arrest in Morehouse
I may rip off your blouse, which could possibly lead to a sexual encounter where you might get arrested in Morehouse

My teeth prints where my knife slits, we train em
I leave my teeth marks where I make knife cuts, which could be a training method for some reason

And scar em like pits, off vibes of the Mecca joint
I am causing deep emotional scars to people with the gravitational pull of my amazing performances, similar to the religious significance of Mecca

Vibe to position, never runnin out of ammunition
I am in the right mindset and position to inspire and perform at my best, and I never run out of energy and passion

Now to the heart, I'm steppin with a concealed weapon
I am entering a dangerous situation with a hidden weapon, ready to defend myself

Nothing's calm when the bomb blaze you know the phrase
There is nothing peaceful about the destruction that a bomb causes, hence the phrase

It's Pete Rock and CL Smooth knockin nowadays
Today, it's all about Pete Rock and CL Smooth and their incredible music

Eastside kid, you don't want none, so catch a relay
I am from the Eastside and you definitely do not want to mess with me, so find someone else to deal with

I'm lettin off on anybody tryin to steal my DJ
I will attack anyone who tries to steal my DJ from me

Pete Rock is in the house, CL is in the house
Both Pete Rock and CL Smooth are present and ready to perform
