Yeah, People been like "Yo Reuben, where you been?

Where you been the last couple years?"

I'm like, "Hey man, I ain't gone nowhere

I just been marinating, serenading, percolating in the lab."

So they're like "Hey yo, man, you know, where, where's hip hop going?"

I'm like "I don't know, but I'm here to take the game back

The game is officially mine, it's officially mine."

Hold on, everybody sing along

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

This ego was quick to say he was better, better be correct

Before you step and try to sever my integrity please

You MC’s need to quit it

I mean do you really think that you’re the only ones who get it

And what is it we don’t get huh?

Maybe that empty book bag that you sport as a gimmick

To the Timberland boots that have never been scuffed

All the while you’re still hollering rugged and rough

I call your bluff you’re just like the rest of them

The only difference is you follow a less popular trend, friend

Tell me how you going to dog the mainstream

Then turn around the underground and do the exact same thing that you’re dissing

You get what I’m putting down

I said a gimmick can be found above as well as underground

And since what’s real can’t be defined by a culture or men

I’m curious as to what makes you think that you can

(Sing along)

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

(And all the fellas sing)

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

(All the ladies sing)

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

Ideas start occurring and words start stirring

Never would I suggest this to be the best

It’s just I like putting words on mics

It’s something I like to do something I find nice

Don’t need to dominate or inflate my confidence

Got no problem giving emcees complements

But some get mad at me like they want to battle me

Upset because I made the hip hop happy

Actually, I think you tough guys are corny

And my LP comes with a foolproof warranty

If you buy it and don’t like it feel free not to listen

I’m not sure about a refund but you’re welcome to diss it

Because I don’t, will not, and won’t ask you to

React to the beat if you ain't feeling it

But perhaps maybe you are in that case

It goes one for the treble two for the bass

Arrogance mixed with ignorance will and can bring forth a man

That don’t really understand but claims he does

And you know what? that’s not good

(No that's not good)

(And all the fellas say)

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

(Hey, hey ladies)

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

(And all the fellas say)

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

(Now, hey ladies)

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

(Don't analyze this)

Y'know what? Y'all got to be kidding

Man, some of y'all treat art like it was some sort of religion

Following the rules one two and on through

To the point you don’t create art, art created you

Y'all got to be kidding man

Some of y'all treat hip hop like it was some sort of religion

Following the rules one two and on through

To the point you don’t create hip hop, hip hop created you

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

Reuben, what is he dippity doin’?

(Hit it maestro!)

(I know you're gonna dig this)

As you can see, there are two kinds of people in life:

There are them that do, and there are them that dippity do

Which one are you?

As for me, I'm a dippity do-er. Peace
