Back in the days on the boulevard of Linden[00:00:25]
We used to kick routines and presence was fitting[00:00:27]
It was I[00:00:30]
The Abstract[00:00:30]
And me the Five Footer[00:00:31]
I kicks the mad style so step off the frankfurter[00:00:32]
Yo Phife you remember that routine[00:00:34]
That we used to make spiffy like Mr. Clean[00:00:37]
Um um a tidbit um a smidgen[00:00:39]
I don't get the message so you gots to run the pigeon[00:00:42]
Heh okay you on point Phife[00:00:44]

Well then grab the microphone and let your words rip[00:00:52]
Now here's a funky introduction of how nice I am[00:00:54]
Tell your mother tell your father send a telegram[00:00:57]
I'm like an energizer 'cause you see I last long[00:00:59]
My crew is never ever wack because we stand strong[00:01:02]
Now if you say my style is wack that's where you're dead wrong[00:01:04]
I slayed that buddy in El Segundo then Push it Along[00:01:07]
You'd be a fool to reply that Phife is not the man[00:01:09]
'Cause you know and I know that you know who I am[00:01:12]
A special shout of peace goes out to all my pals you see[00:01:14]
And a middle finger goes for all you punk MC's[00:01:17]
'Cause I love it when you wack MC's despise me[00:01:19]
They get vexed I roll next can't none contest me[00:01:21]
I'm just a fly MC who's five foot three and very brave[00:01:24]
On top remaining no home training 'cause I misbehave[00:01:27]
I come correct in full effect have all my hoes in check[00:01:29]
And before I get the butt the Jim must be erect[00:01:31]
You see my aura's positive I don't promote no junk[00:01:34]
See I'm far from a bully and I ain't a punk[00:01:36]

Back in the days on the boulevard of Linden[00:02:04]
We used to kick routines and the presence was fitting[00:02:07]
It was I the Phifer[00:02:09]
And me the Abstract[00:02:11]
The rhymes were so rumpin' that the brothers rode the 'zack[00:02:12]
Ayo Tip do you recall when we used to rock[00:02:14]
What[00:02:16]
Those fly routines on your cousin's block[00:02:16]
Um let me see damn I can't remember[00:02:19]

Yo all the time Phife[00:02:30]
So play the resurrector and give the dead some life[00:02:32]
Okay if knowledge is the key then just show me the lock[00:02:34]
Got the scrawny legs but I move just like Lou Brock[00:02:36]
With speed I'm agile plus I'm worth your while[00:02:39]
One hundred percent intelligent black child[00:02:42]
My optic presentation sizzles the retina[00:02:44]
How far must you go to gain respect[00:02:47]
Ummm[00:02:48]
Well it's kind of simple just remain your own[00:02:49]
Or you'll be crazy sad and alone[00:02:52]
Industry rule number four thousand and eighty[00:02:54]
Record company people are shady[00:02:57]
So kids watch your back 'cause I think they smoke crack[00:02:59]
I don't doubt it look at how they act[00:03:01]
Well off to better things like a hip-hop forum[00:03:04]
Pass me the rock and I'll score 'em with decorum[00:03:07]
And proper what you say[00:03:09]
