Lyrics

[Intro]
Say what? Say what?
Say what? Say what?
Say what? Say what?
Speakin' to you
Say what? Say what?
Say what? (Uh-huh)
Speakin' to you (Uh)
You know what time is it
[Verse 1]
Beam me, beam me, beam me, beam me up, Scotty
Not as to where I have no control of my body (Body)
Tweaking diodes, I walk the roads like karate masters
Most the time my mind be ghost like Casper, sinkin' faster
But coming up in this shit, sometimes, I'm alienated, underrated (Uh)
Suckers hate it that I made it as a misfit
But you know if the shoe fits, I'ma wear it like a glass slipper (A slipper)
Hike to the big dipper, dip like a skipper, no top could be tipper (Ah, say what?)
But fools be tryin' to rape friends to make friends
And that's one big twisted-ass picture (I got you, man)
Like Jack the Ripper (Ripper)
Caught up in the net like Flipper on a tuna protest, yeah, where's the focus?
Got me fuckin' with these friends, and they crackin' my lens
And now shit be's foul as a mother
Word to my sisters and my brothers, and my color
[Chorus]
Hey, you
Can I take up a moment of your precious time
To realize and define the whole truth?
Hey, you
Yeah, take up a moment and clarify this for you
Hey, you
Can I take up a moment of your precious time
To realize and define the whole truth?
Hey, you
Yeah, take up a moment and clarify this for you
Hey, hey, you
[Verse 2]
Because of my high altitude, the attitude of this one dude was just so lewd
That he was viewed as rude and pursued by the Cyde
He was booed and chewed like food in the feud
Ending a career way shorter than an interlude and
Dude, the word I heard is that your vision is blurred
That's why you be speakin' the word so absurd, but (What?)
You get exactly what you deserve
As I hit and you swerve to hit the curb
'Cause you be totally guilty of the filthy-type phrasing
Faltering, for sure, under pressure (What?)
Overhyped and un-amazing
[Chorus]
Hey, you
Can I take up a moment of your precious time
To realize and define the whole truth?
Hey, you
Yeah, take up a moment and clarify this for you
Hey, you
Can I take up a moment of your precious time
To realize and define the whole truth?
Hey, you
Yeah, take up a moment and clarify this for you
Hey, you
Can I take up a moment of your precious time
To realize and define the whole truth?
Hey, you
Yeah, take up a moment and clarify this for you
Hey, you
Can I take up a moment of your precious time
To realize and define the whole truth?
Hey, you
Yeah, take up a moment and clarify this for you
Hey, hey, you
[Outro]
Yeah
Hey, you
Hey, you
You know what time is it, 1995, 1997, 1999, ****, it's all going, velocity in Chicago, you know what I'm sayin'?
Hey, you
This is another Labcabin production
Instructions are as follow
Hey, you
Don't try to follow
Nor swallow, nor bite
Hey, you
Nor nibble what I write
You know what time is it, that shit ain't right
Hey, you
Yeah, uh, I gotta give a shoutout to my man, M-Walk
You know what I'm sayin'? My man, Schmooche Cat
Hey, hey, you
You know what I'm sayin'? My legacy
Hey, you
My main man Tre, Fat Lip, Bootie Brown, Suave Smooth, Pharcyde
Hey, you
Forever, and it don't stop
Till we say it stop, you know what time is it
Hey, you
Uh-huh, say what? Say what?
Hey, hey, you
I'm speakin' to you
It's time to groove
Hey, you
Hey, you
Ye-yeah, ye-ye-ye-yeah
