What's That?
Tony Touch Lyrics

Took spanish one for four years, just so you know
I spent four years learning Spanish, I want to make it clear.

Spit my shit right here
I'm delivering my lyrics with confidence and skill.

Oigame, malo muchacho
Listen up, bad boy.

Mos Def con Tony Flaco, el idioma que yo hablo
Mos Def with Tony Flaco, the language that I speak.

Pretty young champ like Camacho, spittin the hot flow
I'm a talented and attractive young artist, delivering powerful lyrics.

B-Boy shout, Zulu gestapo, bro
I'm representing the B-Boy culture, part of the Zulu Nation.

You know my stilo, cigarrillo con tamarindo
You're familiar with my style, incorporating unique elements.

Habichuelas negras, arroz amarillo
Traditional black beans and yellow rice.

Yo soy suave viejito, campeon nacional como Tito
I'm smooth and charismatic, a national champion like Tito.

Bringin the heat bro, unique when I speak yo
I'm bringing the fire, my voice is distinct and one-of-a-kind.

Doin my Way like Carlito, beats by M-A-S-E-O
I'm doing things my way, just like Carlito. The beats are crafted by M-A-S-E-O.

From Panama to Puerto Rico, play my jam on Caliente noventa y siete
My music is enjoyed from Panama to Puerto Rico, it's played on the popular station Caliente noventa y siete.

On the expressway, and press play, see what ya neck say
Listen to my music while driving on the expressway, see how it makes you move.

Duro siempre, para mi gente, ganamos
Always strong, for my people, we win.

Se acabo venga vamos, corillo, alcen las manos
It's over, come on let's go, group, raise your hands.

Blowin ya spot like I got toast
I'm taking over your spot, like I'm armed with a gun.

A lotta MC's is Def, but they not Mos, and not close
Many MC's are good, but they're not on the level of Mos Def, not even close.

Understand it when I shine, all your light is through
When I shine, your light becomes irrelevant.

Ya niggas wack in one language, I'm nice in two, fuck is you
You're barely skilled in one language, while I excel in two, what are you even saying?

Que eso? Tu no sabe mi sonido
What's that? You don't know my sound.

Siempre ganamos, nunca perdimos
We always win, never lose.

Para quien? Blanco, Negro, Latino
For whom? White, Black, Latino.

Del mundo, cuando junto, que profundo
From the world, when we come together, it's profound.

I got chips, to Ziploc grips to burst
I have plenty of money and skills to show off.

Non-conventional, original B-Boy, my peeps call me Merc'
I'm unconventional and unique, a true B-Boy. My friends call me Merc'.

I'm from N.Y.C., so see why in me
I come from New York City, understand why I'm different.

There's a lot of hustlin', found around my cheek
There's a lot of hustle and grind in my life.

Sippin' strawberry daq, that ain't never been fucked
Enjoying a strawberry daiquiri, nothing can ruin my vibe.

Try to catch me off balance, man, you shit outta luck
If you try to throw me off, you'll have no success.

'Cause we got more rams, and I drivin' y'all
We have more strength and power, we're leading the way.

Got the people like the jams, more live than y'all
The audience loves our music, it's more energetic than yours.

I'm wit Tone Touch, while ya all touched in the head
I'm with Tony Touch, while the rest of you are confused and lost.

Such a lethal combination, got you facin' the red
Our collaboration is dangerous, it's making you turn red from embarrassment or anger.

And um, yo, you don't want no parts in that
And um, yo, you don't want to be involved in that.

You style so pussy, last name should be Cat
Your style is weak and cowardly, it's as if your last name should be Cat.

We takin it back, like flea stacks and pylons
We're bringing it back to the old days, like flea markets and towering structures.

Wit the ladies in a frenzy, runnin' they nylon
The ladies are excited, running around in their stockings.

Reveal flesh to test, cause I love bruisin' 'em
They expose their skin to test me, because I enjoy overpowering them.

Treat my battles like my children nigga, I'm never losin' 'em
I handle my battles with care and determination, I never lose them.

Aiyo, what's that? You don't know, that's my sound yo
Hey, what's that? You don't know, that's my unique sound.

No one can rock it like this, we put it down yo
No one can perform like us, we set the standard.

For who? Black, white, purple or brown yo
For whom? Black, white, purple, or brown.

It's Mos, De La, and Touch, we hold the crown yo
It's Mos Def, De La Soul, and Tony Touch, we're the best.

Pero what's that? You don't know, that's my sound yo
But what's that? You don't know, that's my unique sound.

No one can rock it like this, we put it down yo
No one can perform like us, we set the standard.

For who? Black, white, purple or brown yo
For whom? Black, white, purple, or brown.

So all my street folk come on gather round yo
So all my people from the streets, come together.

Pardon me son, but the only Spanish I knew, was dame un beso
Sorry, but the only Spanish I knew was 'give me a kiss'.

Cut bitches wit niggas, who nettin' the peso
I associate with people who make money and have a lot of influence.

Ya breathin' on beats like this, if you say so
You think you're spitting fire on these beats, if that's what you believe.

I stay sippin' on God theories, so where the case yo?
I continue to ponder deep philosophical ideas, so what's your argument?

Wait flow on four floors like film edits
My flow is smooth and expertly crafted, like film editing.

Fuck sayin' the name, you read it in the credits
Forget saying my name, you'll see it in the credits.

Sit that ass down on my lyrics
Listen closely to my lyrics.

We servin' niggas up some beans and rice, everything is everything
We're serving up a musical feast, just like beans and rice. Everything is complete and fulfilling.

Heavy metal thing, rock, wit Mos and Pos and us
We're bringing a heavy and powerful vibe, rocking alongside Mos, Pos, and us.

Written flows get broke down by the comas
My written flows are analyzed and appreciated by the listeners.

From L.I. lawn, I green shit up in my wallets
I represent Long Island, growing my wealth and success.

To fly the wrong places, and get red like scarlet
To venture into dangerous territories and face the consequences.

How I dollar it, I just earn the say
I'm just making money and doing things my way.

So when the itchy itchy come, I satisfy the crave
So when the desire for music comes, I satisfy it.

And let it fall a little too much
And let the music take over to an extreme extent.

I let Tone touch my ears to let the bullshit disappear
I let Tony Touch's music enter my ears to make all the negativity go away.

Pa' 'fuera, tu no sabe, mi manera
Get out of here, you don't know my way.

Native tongue, puttin' it down, donde quiera
Representing the Native Tongues, spreading our music everywhere.

De La, Mos Def wit a candela
De La Soul, Mos Def, with fire.

Borinquen, que bonita bandera
Puerto Rico, what a beautiful flag.

Respect the architect or be next to catch a pela
Show respect to the originator, or you'll be the next one to get beat up.

I send ya all runnin' home to your abuela
I make all of you run back to your grandmothers in fear.

Cash rap over a beat or acapella
I excel at rapping over any beat, whether it's with backing music or acapella.

Kick a wicked rhyme like a fortune teller
I deliver impressive and impactful lyrics, just like a fortune teller.

This fella, se pone feo quando llego
This guy gets mad when I arrive.

I still be shoutin' out cats in San Diego
I still give recognition to artists in San Diego.

I'm still in effect, and I'm still doin the huevo
I'm still relevant and successful, and I'm still doing my thing.

I still be putting it down, till I'm a viejo
I will continue to make music and leave my mark until I'm old.

Man, you can't tell me nothin' about the juego
Hey, you can't tell me anything about the game.

I told ya suckas before, leggo my eggo
I've already warned you, so back off.

Yet you insist upon playin' wit fuego
But you continue to play with fire.

But I catch you on the rebound, hasta luego, pendejo
But I'll catch you when you fall, goodbye, dumbass.

[Chorus]
Repeated chorus line
