Lyrics

[Intro]
Okay, camera's ready
Everybody get in their marks
Let's get this thing started, people, come on
Posdnuos, you got your lines
You know the direction
Roll cameras, everybody, roll cameras
Let's make this a good one
And action!
[Verse 1]
LI's finest back at it
Premium soul on the rocks, The Package
A revival in conscious survival
The content is beyond bliss and idols
Use scar tissue to wipe tears hiding amongst
The blood and sweat, and don't forget the game's here to face ya
And some wanna take it back to when the
B-boy first became a C-Note chaser?
Nah, we staying right here
"Talk less, listen more," that's the sayin' right here
Those who wanna try us, play it right here
Step to us with a Goliath, got a David right here
[Verse 2]
And you can save it right there, recognize a savior
The kinks in the string, the whack, the celebrate
The difference between doing the job or just your nature
Understand birthright over labor
Still working like two thumbs up
Be mouse humble if you two crumbs up
Because I've seen son go grimace in his smile
And I ain't heard a lyric go dive in a while
[Verse 3]
We jump right in the deep end like we don't pretend
Serve heavenly high like gospel and weed pens
We stay devout, careers not carbonated, so we won't fizzle out
No doubt
[Verse 4]
Good take, good take
Alright, let's set up for the next one
A little less lighting on this one
That's it, looks just fine, just fine
Everybody on their marks, cameras rolling
[Verse 5]
LI's finest, craftmatic
This ain't the sit down, pillow top package
Peep the tenor, boy, we beyond summertime
Want that good work, call plug one-a-time
Stay on the Tik-Tok, but this ain't the kitty app
Black king shit, God, where your city at?
Once again, we administer the Mars transmission
Get your cars ate up like Blondie
No crease, Pa, this that laundry
Indebted to a long list, funky like armpits
But let the band roll on like deodorant
You know they going straight "Dan Stuckey" when we blast off
Living life, mask on, mask off
The devil got a plan and a task force
A little prayer ought to piss his ass off
Get your helmets fitted, we headed for a crash course
[Verse 6]
Yo, we're not designed to be ancient
Keep it new like wet paint scent, we're colorful and
Yet from Day Glo we departed 'cause trendsetters
Know when to bail from the trend they started
And yet, the inner still prevail
We all hail from the 'Ville with no days off up in the office
Godly flows never nailed up on crosses
It's like liquid abundantly running out of faucets!
[Outro]
Yeah
Let's print that
That's it, folks
That's a wrap, everybody
Everybody, give a round of applause for De La Soul
DJ Pete Rock
It's a wrap, everybody, it's a wrap
