Y’all got three minutes do what y’all wanna do Yo, so speak as free as possible [Chorus] Check the clock! Watch me! Come on! Funky! Repeat Bright everyday I wake up Look at my travels they scuffed up Ring go the telly which I pick up Turn on the news as it screws up Mase on the line to see if I'm up Wrong thing to do at 5, I hang up Lay on the floor sit and think up Why the whole darn world is messed up [Chorus] Woke up the same morning I felt fine Took me a shower I smelt fine Checked out the weather it looked fine Made some breakfast, I cook fine My girl calls me, she's so fine Wanted me to help her go find Some shoes but I had words to define And it was Tuesday, I had to tape P-Fine [Chorus] Folks styling jokes get the time set Blooming of the tune growing it’s set Positive it is and perfectly set Soul go to show soon we all set Slipping lunatics shipping one set Need is for these not upset Chance to spread word we’re the full set Rhythm weighs more than your weight set 3 will be the number till sunset Plug 1 & 2 now we all set Dove praises flow in your headset Flow De La Flow there is no threat Categories carry difference in sets Differences is equal to an offset De La from the Soul and its kept set Soul is the reviver, Mase are you set? [Bridge] Watch me! Put it there! You got to get it! Get it! Shout now! My name's Posdnuos and I'm above sink The world is so out of synch A lot of emcees can't play sync That's why unfortunately they sink But problem and speak are no way sync We wash problems like hands in a sink I hate to make this rhyme leave sync But the reason De La bad is cuz we think It took us a time but the crew's here Activate a dance when you hear A roll from the Soul like this here And respond to the bond that assists here Politics of speaking are intended here And the president of paragraph will end it here Cuz the three has completely lured here That freedom of speak is assured here Folly fit the frequency in your show Wa…. Yo, you all only had three minutes!
