808 Man - KMD
Boring same ol' Sunday type s**t
Man kinda boring
Hey you kid Yeah you
Ahh what are you listenin to in that there Walkman huh
The new Gas Face rewrote'd by K M D
It's kind of funky with a lot of bass
Yeah but I bet you wonder
Where they got the bass from huh
Don't care
Well let me you this story
Go on now
Let him tell you this story
Friday I believe it was a payday
Onyx Subroc and myself goes out of subway
To catch the X train
The drums roll Brooklyn
Plan was a night of intense hookin
We enter the club
Where we hooked 'til we drop
When stopped to exit
I spoke of this prop
Talked about her bouncing guns
The word buns was on the tip of my fun swing
Approached this big fat seven foot
Said the hood
Sub and I geesed
Onyx sped up the block
And it was fast
I looked back and Fats was headlockin him
I was clockin
About two blocks per minute
And then I thought
That voice there's somethin definitely familiar in it
Not long did I cram
From the lows
I knows it was the 808 Man
Thump thump THUMP
They heard the Eight-oh-eight
Clockin crazy mileage like a 60-deck of math
Ducked into an alley like on Kickdrum Ave
Stopped and told Sub
But Sub was stumped
I said do you recall the bass that thumped
In the Jeeps of the streets
As the pedestrian bops
Heard with vocals where any hip-hop beat drops
Y'know the bass fool
But Sub wasn't passin it
To escape harassment
I booked like a crook
Out of sight all my mics was took
Conscience eatin me
My boy's hooked in Hook
Off the 808 Man
So I peeps to look
No immediate danger did I see myself in
Watchin 'round the block thinkin
Ehh who's missin him
Onyx was headlocked and Subroc was half nelson'd
Think I was wrappin up
Man listen
Man you guys must have been really scared
Was I You think I wasn't
Man I was petri-scared stiff
What were you thinkin about
I was thinkin about my cousin Enus
If he asked me once
He asked me a dozen times to go bowlin with him
But still I wasn't runnin from the Bass
Man as he walked up
Then from the back of my thoughts I forked up
The teachings of Mr Hood
And I began to recall when suddenly it dawned on me
Lesson one if a sucker tries to come
Let him come
By then the hood was up on me
Lesson two was to recite the words you can't do me none
Even though you might be bluffin
It's nothin
Follow procedure and sure 'nough
No doubt
Left that seven foot fat hood whupped out
Lesson three said a keeper of a hood is his brotherhood
As we helped him up he said Damn
You sure pack a punch
I had a hunch you was a hood
Well if you ever need bass
Hook up with the 808 Man
Say word
Man tried to get me to throw hands
I had to go HU HUH
Yeah check it out yo
Yo that's a tight headlock true indeed
Yeah the half nelson got me in a neck brace
Yeah but kid you know where they got the bass from now
Yeah yeah word
But I'll tell you what
I'll give you this exclusive K M D album tape
Unreleased
I'll let my boy Lil' Rock hear it
I'll let Bill hear it
And my mom and dad will hear it
Yo yo don't let nobody dub it
Don't let nobody dub it
Don't let somebody dub it
You'll get funked
Now scram or 808 Man'll do ya
Now get up out of here
You thumpty-hump dump head
Yeah yeah just scram scram
