Lyrics

[Intro: The Pharcyde] Uh That means somethin', somethin' that means somethin' I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin' Uh, come on [Verse 1: Bootie Brown] Wasn't a Black prophet, wasn't in it for the profit Had a talk with Charlie Brown, he was like, "Yo, man, get off it" It's a business The record companies are quick to end this fantasy you're trapped in And he tapped into my frequency Now, I'm frequently going over such-and-such ends that such-and-such owes It's later for the fly girls and hoes 'Cause in this capitalistic society, money is all Fuck continuing college, I was too small to play ball So I grabbed the mic device, never thought about it twice If you think this is a game, nigga, you better think twice [Chorus: The Pharcyde] I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin' [Verse 2: Slimkid3] Now, time is just a phase and life is just a riddle Like if you build a Twinkie, there's a man in the middle With a chick on the side that's along for the fun So I see her as a stallion and I ride everyone Band together if you on the same level (Say what?) Most of us are freebased on being rebels, fightin' cause against the devil (Devil) In the heart of Round Meadow Either verbally or with these stilettos Eyes cold as dark parks or steel metal The world is never settled 'cause it rotates and like ho cakes under glass It's all about your future, yet it's all about your past Like how many faces did you mold in your mask? Before you're free at last, I ask to be or not People like to see you rot and die (See you, bye) [Chorus: The Pharcyde] I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' (Yo) [Verse 3: Fatlip] I'm the F, the A, the T, the L, the I, the P And everything I say be either phat or fly, 'cause You best believe I put in time to conceive (What?) Deep concentration from sunrise to eve And even in my sleep, sometimes rhymes formulate Freeform lyrical storm falling from a cloudy brain In my dream-like state, then I awake To make these silly saps collapse as I dilapidate the wack When it comes to rhymes, I'm kind of like a mack (Why?) I got these flows strollin' up and down the track (What?) So the dough I stack Up in piles and piles for my lyrical creation Travel miles and miles to reach my destination Been through so many trials and many tribulations But I do this shit, I do this shit I do this shit for the people of my nation [Chorus: The Pharcyde] So, I need to kick somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin' Somethin' that means somethin'
