[00:00:25] Back in the days on the boulevard of Linden

[00:00:27] We used to kick routines and presence was fittin'

[00:00:29] It was I the abstract

[00:00:31] And me the five footer

[00:00:32] I kicks the mad style so step off the frankfurter

[00:00:35] Yo Phife you remember that routine

[00:00:36] That we used to make spiffy like mister clean

[00:00:39] Um um a tidbit um a smidgen

[00:00:42] I don't get the message so you gots to run the pigeon

[00:00:45] You on point Phife

[00:00:46] All the time tip

[00:00:47] You on point Phife

[00:00:48] All the time tip

[00:00:49] You on point Phife

[00:00:50] All the time tip

[00:00:52] Well then grab the microphone and let your words rip

[00:00:54] Now here's a funky introduction of how nice I am

[00:00:57] Tell your mother tell your father send a telegram

[00:00:59] I'm like an energizer 'cause you see I last long

[00:01:02] My crew is never ever wack because we stand strong

[00:01:04] Now if you say my style is wack that's where you're dead wrong

[00:01:06] I slayed that body in El Segundo then push it along

[00:01:09] You'd be a fool to reply that Phife is not the man

[00:01:12] Cause you know and I know that you know who I am

[00:01:14] A special shot of peace goes out to all my pals you see

[00:01:17] And a middle finger goes for all you punk MC's

[00:01:19] Cause I love it when you wack MC's despise me

[00:01:21] They get vexed I roll next can't none contest me

[00:01:24] I'm just a fly MC who's five foot three and very brave

[00:01:27] On job remaining no I'm chaining cause I misbehave

[00:01:28] I come correct in full effect have all my hoes in check

[00:01:32] And before I get the butt the jim must be erect

[00:01:34] You see my aura's positive I don't promote no junk

[00:01:37] See I'm far from a bully and I ain't a punk

[00:01:39] Extremity in rhythm yeah that's what you heard

[00:01:41] So just clean out your ears and just check the word

[00:02:05] Back in days on the boulevard of Linden

[00:02:06] We used to kick routines and the presence was fittin'

[00:02:09] It was I the Phifer

[00:02:10] And me the abstract

[00:02:11] The rhymes were so rumpin' that the brothers rode the 'zack

[00:02:14] Yo tip you recall when we used to rock

[00:02:16] Those fly routines on your cousin's block

[00:02:19] Um let me see damn I can't remember

[00:02:22] I receive the message and you will play the sender

[00:02:24] You on point Tip

[00:02:25] All the time Phife

[00:02:26] You on point Tip

[00:02:27] Yeah all the time Phife

[00:02:29] You on point Tip

[00:02:30] Yo all the time Phife

[00:02:31] So play the resurrector and give the dead some life

[00:02:34] Okay if knowledge is the key then just show me the lock

[00:02:37] Got the scrawny legs but I move just like Luke Brock

[00:02:39] With speed I'm agile plus I'm worth your while

[00:02:41] One hundred percent intelligent black child

[00:02:44] My optic presentation sizzles the retina

[00:02:46] How far must I go to gain respect Um

[00:02:49] Well it's kind of simple just remain your own

[00:02:51] Or you'll be crazy sad and alone

[00:02:54] Industry rule number four thousand and eighty

[00:02:57] Record company people are shady

[00:02:59] So kids watch your back 'cause I think they smoke crack

[00:03:02] I don't doubt it Look at how they act

[00:03:04] Off to better things like a hip-hop forum

[00:03:06] Pass me the rock and I'll storm with the crew and

[00:03:09] Proper What you say Hammer Proper

[00:03:11] Rap is not pop if you call it that then stop
