Derelicts of Dialect

Lyrics

[Intro: Sample] "The great will always soar, above, the mediocre; they create, while others destroy" [Verse 1: Pete Nice] Never had a wasted mind, had the time Erectin' rhyme, I coins gifted lines The flows I knows puts the papers in pockets Swings of things, observed in my sockets In ten spot I got stacks of LP wax Corduroy slacks, loops and sales tax On the racks but my label is Derelict Spic-n-Span I slam, it's balls you lick Ill missions, but doin' us ain't even simple Stereotype the rhymer as a criminal Subliminal, I put a noose on the necks The sinister signs of my rhymes is sex [Chorus: Samples] "Menace to the neighborhood" "Menace to the neighborhood" "Menace to the neighborhood" "Menace to the neighborhood" [Verse 2: MC Serch] Smooth, set-up so slick As I set to move, all the great masses Asses bounce to track that is all in I'm droppin' my quarter, I'm placin' my call in To my crew that's down with the street trends Play around and you'll fall off the deep end I heard your hooker she likes to do knee-bends But I got a girl, so I called up three friends And they called three friends (and I called three friends) And so on, and so on, and so on.. So go on my path, and try to follow But not step for step, 'cause I like to sidestep You'll get swept like a broom, ay yo, make room for daddy White boy in New York and I can't get a cab, G So take me to my rest so I guess I'll get wrecked 'Cause I'm a derelict of dialect [Chorus: Samples] "Menace to the neighborhood" "Menace to the neighborhood" [Verse 3: Pete Nice] Dialect spoken, in sectional lesson The less you know, the more you gotta guess on I press on point, some sweat my jizznoint Playin' themselves with the fingers the point I speak slow, I carry a fat stick Get your kneepads and reapply your chapstick Step to this, as the Derelict reanimates No jim hat as my mouth ejaculates I states mumbo, I speaks jumbo Phonetics on phonograph'll prime your petro Retroactive, my knot scale is tipped off I rip the head off, the Derelict stepped off And left to show this, to those who typecast Ill the rhymer as trickster or outcast Of intellect, I wreck shit with my own sect The ace in the hole, I'm the Derelict of Dialect [Chorus: Samples] "Menace to the neighborhood" "Menace to the neighborhood" [Verse 4: MC Serch] 3rd Bass, but not a base for slidin' Foundation, for a nation who's mind is In motion, goin' in fluid Who did you justice? Trust it's Serch and I'll crush this Mental need for oppression Oppressed and all vexed and just placed a suggestion Lesson or loss enforce those in Or spot who got your head frozen Defrost the eye and spy on the serpent On act two, he tried to close curtain But intermission I glimpsed and I clock more Derelicts watch act three and the encore [Chorus: Samples] "Menace to the neighborhood" "Menace to the neighborhood" [Outro: Sample] "Individuals who are never satisfied with the static standards set by the masses—the masses have always been lethargic. They have always opposed greatness, for it is beyond them to even—comprehend greatness."
