[Intro: Big Shug] (DJ Premier) {Termanology} Yeah, man, all I'm sayin is (Remix...) Just play the music, play all of the music, man We gotta keep some balance in the game Y'know? Let it play, man, f'real (F'real!) ("Remix!" Woo) Uh-huh Big Shug (uh), Preemo, you know the deal {5'9", Termanology! Singapore!} Just play these records, man, all of 'em DJ's, all around the world [Verse One: Big Shug] This year, I'm not fuckin' with coward cats Who hide behind they raps and flashy Cadillacs Scared of the battle raps and semi-auto gats But wanna push wack rhymes from artificial cats That wanna feel the Purple Haze and spots where cattle graze Swimmin' pool with dime chicks, spendin' happy days With all my niggas blaze, honey dips gets glazed And I'm paid a hundred grand when I hit the stage This is not a phase, it's a real, nigga's rage And I'ma make sure I get it before I'm back in the cage I promise to shoot and blaze, 'til my dyin' days 'Til DJ's stand, and my music's played Any beef with me'll end in castastrophe I'm winnin' while you losin', that's how it just has to be From the vinyl, to the CDJ Give the fans a chance to hear the fly shit I say Play the record or get smacked clean With another bangin' joint from Big Shug and DJ Preem ("Play it") Play it! ("Play it") Play it! ("Play it") Play it! ("Play it") Play it! ("Play it") Play it! ("Play it") Play it! ("Play it") Play it! ("Play it") [Hook: Big Shug] Let the music play, ayy ("You know we get down!") Let the music play, ayy ("On the microphone" <- Erick Sermon) Let the music play, ayy ("Rhymes flowin' like water") Let the music play ("Hip Hop~!" <- MC Shan), everyday Let the music play, ayy ("You know we get down!") ("The record is massive evidence, of the flexibility and toughness, of the principles you perfect") [Verse Two: Royce da 5'9"] Uh The rap game is the WWF, we inside of these steel cages Outrageous, things staged on real stages Takin' pictures with the long faces Talkin' hate shit, they +Hart Foundation's+ in the wrong places When it's on, niggas always do that +snake+ shit (Uh-huh) Talkin' to the +Jakes+ shit 'Til I have +The Undertaker+ toss you in that vase quick You don't get no Take 6, this is not a flick This is me, nigga, Prada kicks Sickest nigga spittin', yeah, competition, not as sick I done penned a lot of hits You should read the credits 'fore you play it ("Play it") Play it!

Yes [Verse Three: Termanology] Uh, yeah, yeah, ayo It's only right I demolish any artist Semi-autos in my rhymes can describe some of my harder livin' Lucky I'm not in prison, givin' my momma heart attacks How would my daughter react to no father figure? The streets raised me, the radio plays me Pigs try to frame me, but nothin' could faze me I'm crazy! I got love for the radio stations But, you know, real shit never gets in rotation They don't play it ("You know-you know-you know we get down!") [Big Shug] Oh, oh-ho, hey ("Play it") Play it! ("Play it") Play it! ("Play it") Play it! ("Play it") Play it! ("Play it") Play it! ("Play it") Play it!

You want a record you could play, here it go now Stamp and approve it, let the fans move it You ask for the real, this is how we do it Play the record or get shut down Or get, slapped or clowned, gagged or bound Play it! {*echoes*} [Outro: Big Shug] Uh-huh, remix!
