Vocab (Refugee Hip Hop Remix)
Vocab (Refugees Hip Hop Remix) - Fugees

Yo this is the fugees refugees about to take you on a journey

Into the dimensions of the booga basement the basement word

Hey yo one two three the crew is called refugees

And if you come fa tes the rap stylee

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 wrap about me while I'm driving daddy's audi

I pay the toll fighting for my own soul

Cause the bourgeoisie type of mental sucks like a flat comb

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

The devil's wishin' 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 are whylin' so I ask the bad black

Boogie bandit what's the damage gimme the estimate then

Pray tell me when's the revolution will begin

I turn on my TV I check out farrakhan on CNN See

I'm like the phantom that's flyin' like the bird do

And things you never heard plus I come from the suburbs

Word to God I heard you're acting kind of hard

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

You got the vocab

I got the vocab

Underground got the vocab

You know we got the vocab

All my peeps got the vocab

Yeah we got the vocab

Aiyyo praz grab the mic and show you got the gift of gab

Then cast off from here to Mexico

You see my four five six a be my celo

And when I rest my head is on a pillow

Be ba dee be be dee be be dee be bo

You see the skills I manifest is very tho-rough

And if you don't believe me ask freres jacques

Freres jacques freres jacques

A dorme vous a dorme vous

Watch out now when I choose to speak

I'm forming the cipher fly east to the five percenter

Knowledge is born to all beginners

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

Say our father who art in heaven

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

Correct and stopped and kept in nuff respect to the

DJ that be selectin' the type of record ah

The click's got the vocab

You know they got vocab

Brooklyn got the vocab

We got the vocab

Aiyyo clef grab the mic and show you got the gift of gab

Back in eighty-three no one wanted to be nappy

I turn on my TV it's a dreadlock 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 days 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 loved PE they kept me conscious of what I was sayin'

Afrika bambaata poor righteous teacher

Got within myself so it made me a five percenter

Say la-di-da-di 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 fu got the manchu chaka got the zulu

Hawaii got the Honolulu
