Steppin' To The A.m. Lyrics - The Cactus Album - 3rd Bass

At the sound of the tone, the time will be twelve A.M. 

Ready in the intro, cue up the Serch-lite 

Point us to the center stage, I'll grab the first mic 

Projectin' the voice with this mic that I'm cuffin' 

You ain't my nucka, sucker I'm snuffin' 

The word of the 3rd stands true, so no panickin' 

Man verse man, you freeze up like a mannequin 

Petrol, you let go, the wax for the new jacks 

To dwell upon, you're steppin' on the trigger as the tune smacks 

Square in the butt, Pete gave me the cue 

So I'ma put up or shut up until my jam is through 

But for now I wanna freak 'em, so I'll embark 

To spark your mission posse, 'til way past dark 

Don't park, there's no standin' or I'll play the five O 

You don't stop movin' until the Serch says so 

To keep the tribe open, shootin' out to play 'em 

3 the hard way'll keep you steppin' to the A.M. 

What's the time? It's about that time 

What's the time? Time to get stupid 

What's the time? It's about that time 

What time is it? Shootin' for the A.M. 

My mind has a question, I respond 

To a silver domed microphone, one step beyond 

Straight to eighty-eight, to the curves of the '90s 

I'm universal, I set a line free 

Behind me, the 3, the hard way, the jackpot 

Awaitin' Satan's, tryin' to take cheap shots 

We groove crowds, the 3 stand proud 

The brothers 'round the way, sit down an' say 

"How'd you do this?" Ludicrous rhythm of rhyme 

Anticipate like a bottle of Heinz ketchup 

No, catch up, 'cause you fell behind 

I'm steppin' to the A.M., dickin' down swine 

Pete Nice skims over lyrics, I pick 'em 

Strong an' long, you're wrong, I stick 'em 

He's the law with the sword with my cable swingin' 

Like 'The Pit or the Pendulum', Pete Nice bringin' 

The sunrise with no lies, legitimate an' you despise 

Envy this MC's magnitude, so realize 

The MC emceed, the DJ deejayed 'em 

Until the next time I keep you steppin to the A.M. 

Two for the time, two for the time 

What's the time? It's about that time 

What's the time? Time to get stupid 

What's the time? It's about that time 

What time is it? Shootin' for the A.M. 

No weight on the felt plate, deep bass below rise 

Needle torture groove, move the record 'til the wack stride 

Schoolin' the swine on the strength of my vocab 

Bet you wonder, you're a goner, you're thinkin' that you had 

Lyrics to the A.M. but the house needs a swinger 

You st-st-stutter, but I'm a stinger 

My rhymes so potent, I wrote 'em an' it's evident 

You're just a stunt, seekin' a settlement 

The lyrical line, the article original 

Afflict like a convict, I ain't no criminal 

Schemin' on a cable or slobbin' the knob 

You played me like a foul ball, how you livin', Hobbes? 

Now groove into the A.M., the master spoon feedin' 

Out a jumper, you're bumpin' a freak while I'm G'n 

Peter let the record spin, Serch'll get a second wind 

Motivate the crowd, 'til it's steppin' to the A.M. 

What's the time? It's about that time 

What's the time? Time to get stupid 

What's the time? It's about that time 

What time is it? Shootin' for the A.M. 

I slide swiftly, keep a brother steppin' 

Loungin', strength in my throat 

Sweatin' as you get hit with the rhythm 

My lines sustain like a crane, so uplift them 

Slow an' smooth, flowin' like fluid 

The mass did worship the lyrics the 3 did 

Amid all crisis, drop it like a guillotine 

You're moist, fearin' the voice of the rhyme fiend 

Scene is zipped, Pete Nice is your worst dream 

Fulfilled, you're illed, I thrilled, I heard a loud scream 

My mind is cued, so I run down a menu 

That downgrades the weak as my lyrics tend to 

The needs of a shaker, sweatin' to the point of exhaust 

So listen to the mission horse 

Blinded by the science, my mind starts flexin' 

Sexin' down females to the A.M., perplexin' 

A complex reflex, you wonder if we slumber 

The 3 don't sleep, ayo, Pete Nice take 'em under 

Steppin' to the A.M., I'm steppin' to the mic 

To snatch up an' smash up the club until daylight 

Two for the time, two for the time 

What's the time? It's about that time 

What's the time? Time to get stupid 

What's the time? It's about that time 

What time is it? For the A.M. 

What's the time? It's about that time 

What's the time? Time to get stupid 

What's the time? It's about that time 

What time is it? For the A.M.
