S.O.S.

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mr. Man] S.O.S Breaker breaker 1-9 maydey Surviving off of pennies until my next payday All I ever wanted was a real nice lady A clean pair of socks And some fish for my gravy But all I get is rice Which will have to suffice Coz I always used to think I didn't need no advice So I never ever really tried to heed no advice But in the end we all pay the price So let's get to the point (point point) Of the whole situation So many obstacles So many confronations But still I'm focused on reaching every station Coz destiny is my destination I came to make it happen Instead of wasting time I don't got The time is now Coz I only got one shot Navigating through the schemes And the intricate plots Coz you and I is all we got Lets make it happen [Chorus: Mr. Man] S.O.S Breaker breaker 1-9 maydey Surviving off of pennies until my next payday All I ever wanted was a real nice lady A clean pair of socks And some fish for my gravy [Verse 2: Lee Majors] Why Why is the world round Why do the suckas bite Why do the freaks come out at night Why they paint Jesus white I sit and wonder why We breakin hip hop laws Doing videos in houses that we know ain't yours Representing projects Man them shits ain't yours (check your lease) What I release I'll make you shit in your draws [Bridge: Y-Tee] Well then Hear what I say (OK) Your begin for an easy way Well I don't know (well I dont know) Oh yes I don't know Yo light Let me let these niggas know Its like all I ever wanted was a girl with Respect and a 3rd eye DKNY ain't what makes you fly Lights in my face Government in my pocket Its hard to be a prophet and still make a profit [Chorus 2: Mr. Man & Lee Majors] S.O.S Breaker breaker 1-9 maydey Surviving off of pennies until my next payday All I ever wanted was a real nice lady A clean pair of socks And some fish for my gravy [Verse 3: Mos Def] I swing with fat cats to smack tracks over phat raps It's all of that, we tread the BK back road (brooklyn) '96, we about to put it on Hey, baby pa, put a quarter upon the needle head To hold it still while I lace up the verbal threat Now watch me sew shit up Mos Def in your spot, about to blow shit up See I've been rhyming since when I was growing up That's why I say that shit that make the party open up Like the sky, plus my voice is fly I roll with Dave, Mase and Wonder Why I rock it from Medina Green on to the Strong I-I... Land on my feet, 'cause I'm a cool cat Make the kids around my way say "How you do that?" So all I kick to them is bare ass true fact Like "Careful what you say, 'cause ain't no take-backs" And "If you makin' moves, baby, don't fake jacks" Like cats who plays hard and soft like plum skin Perhaps that's the sound when you smack the drum skin Ay yo, wherever ya'll want to jump in Everybody, get into somethin' somethin' Everybody, get into somethin' somethin' Yo, fuck waitin' around, pay me on the front end Man, I don't want the landlord kicking my door in You tight, getting high, but you never know when You may fuck around and get low again But you can always be certain, my friend High or low, tide is always gonna come in Hey-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye It's like that – so check it on out ya'll [Chorus: Mos Def] The S.O.S Breaker breaker 1-9 maydey Surviving off of pennies until my next payday All I ever wanted was a real nice lady S.O.S Breaker breaker 1-9 maydey Surviving off of pennies until my next payday All I ever wanted was a real nice lady [Outro: Lee Majors] It's like right about now you're probably sitting on Your couch thinking, "Damn, what is son doing?
