Straighten It Out Lyrics

Straighten It Out lyrics

Uh yeah. Uh huh.
We got Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth
And we're here to tell
you to...
And that's a fact baby
Now you're gonna kick some
lyrics
Like this c'mon...

Walk the fine short line and put the needle
to the grind
Representin' one kind seeing eye for the blind
Witness what I
carry on bears a further purpose
From how we do slam a few then you want to
purchase
A dialogue of funk, you love to pop it in your trunk
I win, more
disciplined than a Show-lin monk
Pete Rock and C.L., well set to spark
it
The powerful target to destroy the black market
But when you say
black, listen, I don't know, you lose me
I guess another beggar can afford
to be choosey
I come to the maximum, artist on a major label
Any
duplication of this one is fatal
On one to five, I gotta hit ya live
Beat
your ass with my tape, any race or shape
Cuz if they got mine, they got yours
too
But together here's what we gotta do

Tell 'em...straighten it
out
Ah, yeah...straighten it out
You know this is the word (say
what?)...straighten it out
That's right y'all...straighten it out (say
what?)
You got to...straighten it out
Everybody must...straighten it out
(say what?)
Straighten it out...yeah
Straighten it out...it's like that
(say what?)

The funk legacy I pass on, clearancy for high rates
Every
time we sample all the past time greats
Stick it in the SP-1200 beat, I make
a loop
Lovely, where the Troop in a Lexus coupe
Just a little bit, set to
make a whole lot happen
The musical inside my rappin'
Written by the C.L.,
produced by the P.R.
And add in any credit that you heard thus far
I start
from scratch, cuz the bass line's critical
Better than the original who first
made it
But now you want to sue me, but fans never boo me
Believe I know
the times, we been broke, too, G
Here's another sample clear, seeya, get the
hell outta here
Like a bootleg, you're over for the year
You'll only get
the credit where the credit is due
So, listen, what I shout out is
true

Yeah, true...straighten it out
You gots to tell 'em
to...straighten it out
(Say what?)...straighten it out
You got to tell
'em to...straighten it out
(Say what?)...straighten it out
That's
right...straighten it out
C'mon (say what?)...straighten it out
That's
right...straighten it out
Straighten it out (say what?)

Like the
strands of lamb's wool, I'm thinkin' that's said
Here to go to the head and
count the locks on a dred
I and I'd 'mit to verify, goin' to multiply
A
theory many thought a conspiracy
Here to let you know that it applies to all
of us
You're no exceptions to the rule and that's a plus
Cuz who Jah
bless, let noone curse
Straighten out what I be about, reckon above the
clout
And let the management work for me
Because I don't need the
unnecessary hostility
A proper marketing plan so we can gobble up the
dough
Straighten it out, so everybody know
The kids are official with the
purpose of a smooth surface
Kickin' the service one time to make 'em
nervous
We're finally here and very long overdue
Pete Rock, this one's
for the crew

You gotta...straighten it out
Everybody
must...straighten it out (say what?)
You gotta...straighten it
out
Everybody must...straighten it out (say what?)
Straighten it
out...you got to
Straighten it out...c'mon (say what?)
Straighten it
out
All black people must...straighten it out
Say what?
Straighten it
out
Everybody must...straighten it out
The YG's, they must...straighten
it out
The Hilltop, they must...straighten it out
The whole money-earnin'
must...straighten it out
Everybody must...straighten it out
Come
on...straighten it out
Ah, yeah...straighten it out (to close)
