Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One for the treble (One for the treble)
Two for the bass (Two for the bass)
Three for the ladies (Three for the ladies)
And four for the blaze (Four for the blaze)
[Verse 2]
Yo, yo, yo
It's that heat, that heat, that heat, that heat
It's that heat, yo
[Verse 3]
The heat comin' thick down from São Paulo
Bankin' New York, shakin' up the Apollo
The rhyme like night people bite and swallow
But the way to recite it is soundin' raw hollow
Hollow like empty forty-ounce bottles
Holla at your boy if you wanna date models
Brazilian beauties with booties that wobble
Booby like tooties that fog up your goggles
Yeah, I keep it hot, full throttle
Beats bang out to keep your head on bobble
Instrumentally, I'm rich like lotto
Fundamentally, I just can't follow
Or get sentimental when witnessin' my bros
Divin', duckin', dodgin' from hollow
Point bullets that turn bodies into John Does
I stay positive and rock mics, 'cause I go
[Verse 4]
One for the treble, the treble
Two for the bass, the bass
Three for the ladies, the ladies
And four for the blaze, the blaze
[Verse 5]
Oh, slow (Slow down, baby)
Hot wind
That heat, that heat, that heat
It's that heat, yo
So take off your clothes (Get mellow)
Relax your soul (Get mellow)
Unwind your spine (Get mellow, mellow, mellow, mellow)
Get mellow, mellow, get, get mellow
Oh, slow (Slow down, baby)
[Verse 6]
It's that heat, that heat, that heat
It's that heat, that heat, that heat
It's that heat, that heat, that heat
It's that heat, yo
[Verse 7]
It's that heat comin' in slow motion
Barbecue your body, keep your body straight roastin'
Light skin honeys get the suntan lotion
Dark skin honeys in the sun with no commotion
You can catch me chillin' by the ocean
With Brazilian feminines sippin' on potions
Girls lookin' like cinnamon toast
And I got a little chocolate for your cinnamon toast
I got the notion to get real close
That's a little self emotion, don't mind if I boast
Baby, I can be your favorite host
Break you off wit' a single or a freaky double dose
Just don't catch no emotions
I bring heat from coast to coast, and
Beats and rhymes is my devotion
I'm turnin' MCs into ghosts when I talk about
[Verse 8]
One for the treble (One for the treble)
And two for the bass (Two for the bass)
And three for the ladies (Three for the ladies)
And four for the blaze (Four for the blaze)
[Verse 9]
Oh, slow (Slow down, baby)
Hot wind
It's that heat, that heat, that heat
It's that heat, so
So take off your clothes (Get mellow)
Relax your soul (Get mellow)
Unwind your spine (Get mellow, mellow, mellow, mellow)
Get mellow, mellow, get, get mellow
Oh, slow (Slow down, baby)
[Verse 10]
Yo, it's that heat, that heat, that heat
It's that heat, that heat, that heat
It's that heat, that heat, that heat
It's that heat, yo
[Verse 11]
One for the treble, and
Two for the bass
Three for the ladies, heat
Got four for the ladies, yeah
[Verse 12]
You in trouble (One for the treble)
(Two for the bass) So hide your ladies
(Three for the ladies)
(Four for the blaze)
[Verse 13]
Oh, slow (Slow down, baby)
Hot wind
It's that heat, that heat, that heat
It's that heat, yo
So take off your clothes (Get mellow)
Relax your soul (Get mellow)
Unwind your spine (Get mellow, mellow, mellow, mellow)
Get mellow, mellow, get, get mellow
Oh, slow (Slow down, baby)
