Vocab (Refugees Hip Hop Remix)

Yo, this is the Fugues, refugees

About to take you on a journey

Into the dimensions of the Booga-Basement

The basements, word

Hey yo, 1, 2, 3 the crew is called Refugees

The rap stylings, Stop the violence and just bring it on, wild

Hey yo, I feel kind of melancholy people think they really know me

I keep a rap book by me while I drive your daddy' Audi

I pay the toll fighting for my own soul

Cause the bougie type of mental slacks like a black hole

But I baitin' the rebel base to bass distort the EQ

The devils wish they could send me back to Mogadishu

Cause I've been wild since I was a juvenile

Afro-centric profile, back when righteous rap was your style

Now kids so whylin' so I ask the bad black

Boogie bandit, what's the damage, gimme the estimate then

Pry tell me when the revolution will begin?

I turn off my tv and I check out Farrakhan on CNN

See, I'm like the phantom that's flying like the bird

Doin' things you've never heard, plus I come from the suburbs

Word to God, I heard you're acting kinda hard

And you got your skin scarred when they was shootin' on the boulevard

(You got the vocab) I got the vocab

(On the real got the vocab) You know we got the vocab

(All my peeps got the vocab) Yeah, we got the vocab

Ay-o Praz, grab the mic and show them you got the gift of gab

Then cast off from here to Mexico

You see my 4-5-6 a-be me Celo

And when I rest my head it's on a pilllow

Baby be, baby be, baby be bo

You see the skills I manifest is very through

And if you don't believe me ex tell me Freres Jacques

Freres Jacques, Freres Jacques

A dorme vous? A dorme vous?

What cha now, when I chose to speak

I'm forming a cipher fly each to the five percenter

Knowledge is born, to all beginners

Cast the first stone, if you feel you ain't a sinner, ah

Say out father, who art in heaven

Forgive the foolish rapper for he not know how Fugee be steppin'

Correct and, stopped and kept in, 'nough respect to the

DJ, that be selection, the type fo the record, ah

(You got the vocab) I got the vocab

(The click's got the vocab) You know they got the vocab

(Brooklyn got the vocab) We got the vocab

Ay-o Clef grab the mic and show you got the gift of gab

Check it out, here we go

Back in '83, no one wanted to be nappy

I turn on my tv, it's a deadlock for free

Kill the gimmick, it's nonsense, it's no sense or value

A rapper, disaster, nobody ever told me that

Roxanne, you don't got to work for money no more

And

Back in the I used to listen to Kool G rap

Way back when before guns became gats and

Run-DMC used to ask Mary was she buggin'?

I love PE, they kept me conscious of what I was sayin'

Afrika Bambaata, Poor Righteous Teacher

Got within myself so it made me a fiver percenter

Say la-di-da-di, uh, we like to party but

My jam was BDP, with my philosophy

Say Grandmaster Flash, MC Melle Mel

Then LL Cool J came with Rock the Bells

See I"m the one for the crew, like a Jew is a Jew

Like Apollo got the moon, like the men who got the blue

Like the man who got the flu

Like the fu got the Manchu

Shaka got the Zulu

Hawaii got the Honolulu

I got the rap lieu, so skippedy-de-bop-bop you don't stop

You do the rock-rock from hip-hop through be-bop

From be-bop to bee-bee

(You got the vocab) I got the vocab

(Boogie Down got the vocab) You know they got the vocab

(Black people got the vocab) Word, we got the vocab
