Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth — The Midnight Wrecka

[Intro] ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") [Verse 1] C.L. is ropin' the flow like a calf in a rodeo And solvin' crime like Hawaii Five-O Healin' like a medicine man, any foe or fan Who know I can by supply and demand I supply a dope beat with educated lyrics And dеmand that they be odd like Oscar and Fеlix Seekin' to the root of the problem and solve 'em With rhymes more meaner than the streets of Harlem Like a breath of fresh air, absorb the rhyme I flair Some say it ain't fair when they hear and compare My rhymes to theirs, and um, here's a lump sum You're tiny like a stew pea and small as a crumb Movin' like a checker to be a double decker Ayo, straight outta Mecca comes the midnight wrecka [Scratched Chorus] ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") [Verse 2] The mental master growin' in the mainstream On top like whipped cream, rollin' like the A-Team I get the call to brawl and tell it all, you're small Take a Tylenol, you're headin' for a big fall I'm not afraid of you, I'm crazy as Bellevue Hard like a horseshoe — so what you wanna do? I wear and tear, horrify and dare Anyone to compare their rhyme to this here I sizzle like a griddle and play like a fiddle Those courtin' the little middle I solve like a riddle When I dismiss this type of lyricist Emphasize an emphasis and you wish You can counteract, exact my rhymin' attack And when you crack, rebuild and come back But I don't think so, no, you got nothin' to show Facin' me, your score is round like a Cheerio So raise up 'fore you get squashed like a turnip More hard like penitentiary bars, you little buttercup Movin' like a checker to be a double decker Ayo, straight outta Mecca comes the midnight wrecka [Scratched Chorus] ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") [Bridge Scratches] ("Get down") ("To the beat all") ("Get down") ("To the beat all") ("Get down") ("To the beat") ("Get down") ("To the beat") ("Get down") ("To the beat all") ("Get down") ("To the beat all") ("Get down") ("To the beat all") ("Get down") ("To the beat") ("Get down") ("To the beat, to the beat, to the beat all") ("Get down") [Verse 3] Yo, just when you thought that the coast was clear I appear, now you're shakin' in your boots with fear And I come at'cha like a bat outta hell Who excel and dwell, so you might as well Take a back seat to the matador Lyrical connoisseur to pack the floor and ensure Poise and perfection for rhymin' inspection Section to section, vocal dialection Participants a must when I discuss and plus In God we trust — yeah, us Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth live and kickin' Never take a lickin' but keep on tickin' I unload and explode while you're still on the crossroad I got the area sowed Because I'm unique when I speak, reachin' the height of my peak Every hour, seven days a week You can't stop it, nor stop it so why don't you drop it? Clean out your ears and listen to the prophet Movin' like a checker, rhyme competitor, rap senator Night cap of rap as the midnight wrecka [Scratched Chorus] ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all") ("Word up, I get down") ("I say yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Word up, I get down") [Outro Scratches] ("To the beat all") ("To the beat all") ("To the beat all") ("To the beat, beat all") ("To, to the beat") ("To the beat all") ("To the beat all") ("Say yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Say yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Yes, yes, yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Yes, yes, yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Yes, yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Yes, y'all, y'all") ("Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Yes, yes, yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("Yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all") ("I say yes, yes, y'all, to the beat all")
