Flawless
Phife Dawg Lyrics

Who these cats lookin punanny-ish?
Who are these guys dressed like they belong in a women's magazine?

For those who don't understand: that's some vagina shit
For those who don't get it: they look stupid

I think I'm lost, yo, tell me what you're dealin with?
I don't get what's going on, what's the deal?

Niggas' rhymes be watered down like porn star clitoris
These guys' lyrics are diluted like a porn star's sensitivity

It's so ridiculous, you're soundin hideous
It's ridiculous they sound so bad

Talkin tough, but be dressin on some wussy shit
Trying to sound tough, but dressed like a wimp

Tight see-through shirt, on some hard nipple shit
Wearing a tight, see-through shirt, showing hard nipples

Fake Versace shades while all up in the club and shit
Wearing fake Versace sunglasses in the club and stuff

Fake Rolex, it'll change the color of your arm and shit
Wearing a fake Rolex that turns your arm green

Sports bras, halter tops, what the fuck is this?
Wearing women's sports bras and halter tops, what is this?

Dudes be brought up just to sell some records? SHIT
Are these guys just trying to sell albums? That's crap.

Then wanna be voice of the streets, you see this bullshit?
They also want to be the voice of the streets? You gotta be kidding.

Wait - if you gon' half-step in hip-hop, you need to stop
If you're going to half-ass your way through hip-hop, then quit.

This here remains in the street, play puss, you're gettin fucked
Hip-hop stays in the street, act like a coward and you're in trouble.

Go 'head, play yourself with them ho-like hooks
Go ahead, embarrass yourself with those ho-like lyrics

Sing ballads if it's all about the Maxwell look
If you want to look like Maxwell, go sing ballads.

Mack make-up with a pair of [brand name] thinkin you're cute
Wearing makeup and [brand name] doesn't make you cute

Fubu suit with Steve Madden boots make me wanna puke
Wearing Fubu and Steve Madden boots makes me want to vomit.

Phat Farm shorts with a garder belt, lookin like a whore
Wearing Phat Farm shorts and a garter belt, looking like a harlot

Or a purple bandana cause it matches your shaw?
Wearing a purple bandana that matches your shawl?

Now tell me, what you rhymin for?
What's the point of you rapping?

This shit is all about flows, fuck a fashion show
It's about rap skills not fashion.

Hip-Hop 101, Professor Diggy, yo
It's hip-hop basics, taught by Professor Diggy, yo.

And if you want it laid back, call Kenny Lattimore
If you want it mellow, listen to Kenny Lattimore.

No disrespect to these men, cause I like R&B
Not trying to diss R&B, I like it.

But right here in my class we gonnna emcee
But, in this rap lesson of mine, we're going to rap.

It's all about the zhigge-zhigge, yeah, the scratch 'n cut
It's all about beats and scratching.

Graffiti art, jammin in the park, holdin your nuts
Graffiti art, jamming in the park, holding your balls.

Muthafuckas, I am hip-hop, I walk hip-hop, I talk hip-hop
I am hip-hop, I walk it, I talk it.

I need hip-hop, I lust hip-hop, I love hip-hop
I need hip-hop, I crave it, I love it.

B-Boy round the clock, doin it non-stop
Constantly breakdancing, never stopping.

Flawless
Unbeatable.

Diggy gon' hit you with the rawness
Professor Diggy will give it to you raw.

Pass me the mic and I'ma scorch it
Give me the microphone, I'll kill it.

And when mi done with it, mi just toss it
When I'm finished, I'll just throw it away.

But never force it
Never push it, let it flow.

My shit is flawless
I'm unbeatable.

Mutty Ranks hit you with the rawness
Mutty Ranks will give it to you hard.

Peep the Groove Attack ensemble, we about to fly high
The Groove Attack crew is ready to soar.

Fuck majors, we independent like the 4th of July (Why?)
We don't need major record labels to make it big.

I guess we didn't really share the same vision
I suppose we didn't have the same goals.

But it was their decision
But it was their choice.

Them fuckers just wouldn't listen
They just refused to hear me out.

But now look who's bitchin
But now they're the ones complaining.

While Phifey cuts with precision
Meanwhile, I hone my craft.

It's my ass they're kissin
Now they're the ones trying to suck up to me.

Don't worry 'bout what I'm shippin
Don't worry about what I'm doing.

As for Jive, I know they hate on how I blow up the spot
As for Jive, they don't like that I'm outshining them.

How quickly they forget what got they ass to the top
They forget what made them successful.

What they figure, I bust my ass to feed they dirty-ass kids?
They think I'm working hard for their brats?

Get the fuck out of here, fuck am I, Britney Spears?
Get the fuck outta here, who do they think I am? Britney Spears?

These cats'll turn you against your brethren if you let em, and how
These guys will turn you against your own if you let them.

It's the reason me and my former partner don't talk now
That's why I don't talk with my old partner anymore.

Communication is the key, capital word be unity
Communication is vital, and unity is paramount.

These folks will guide you to your grave, then come and read the eulogy
These people will lead you to your own demise and eulogize you.

Independent like Philly, majors can't do shit for me but suck mi toe
We're independent like Philly, major labels can't do anything for us.

Go find a MC with some half-assed flow
Go find an MC with mediocre skills.

But I understand these styles, they just quickly endin now
I get these styles, but they're dying out quickly.

Forever wantin to play games, but guess what, I'm not a child
Always trying to play games but I'm not a kid.

For the new breed of MC's: learn to own your shit, gee
For the new generation of MC's: own your craft.

Stay black, keep it real, purchase at [Name]
Stay true to yourself and represent, by some [Brand Name].

Fuck a waiting to exhale, Malik is at once released
No need to wait to exhale, Malik is breathing free.

While all you so-called CEO's and A&R's get impeached
While all you so-called CEO's and A&R's lose all power.

Say Fudge - you shoulda never let me off the damn leash
Say your prayers, you should've never set me free.

Ha-ha
Laughing.

Arrrf!
Barking.

Now break it down now
Now break it down.

I am hip-hop, I sleep hip-hop, I want hip-hop
I am hip-hop, I dream hip-hop, I desire hip-hop.

I love hip-hop, I lust hip-hop, I need hip-hop
I love hip-hop, I crave hip-hop, I require hip-hop.

B-Boy round the clock, doin it non-stop
Breakdancing all day, never stopping.

And I'm
And I'm.

Flawless
Unbeatable.

Diggy gon' hit you with the rawness
Professor Diggy will give it to you raw.
