No Lyrics - De La Soul

[Yummy] 

I never can say goodbye 

No no n-no I, never can say goodbye 

I, I don't know the rest 

[Posdonus] 

We those pros, we never procrastinate (ah) 

Them guardians they shouldn't let you get past the gate 

Watch out dawg, the watchdog's showin his teeth 

(Guess you bit too much shit) they bitin your beat 

While I speak from experience, hunger and hurt 

And a little bit of hate from niggaz doin me dirt 

I just wash it all out with Tide and show love 

to those who ride with me while I'm puttin in work

Full-timin it, 8: 30 to 6, the graveyard shift 

The three months before the benefits hit 

But my position went temp' to perm' 

I sat and listened like an intern watchin who applied get fired 

Now I'm sittin in the break room, they gotta make room (make room) 

My paper stacks, put staples through 'em 

So I can keep my money together 

Some die-hard fans just don't want it like, "Put Pos back on it" 

[Posdonus] 

I'm back on it, that's why you never disappointed 

We give you what we live through for real (for real) 

Don't own a crown but I'm royalty 

And tryin to see the royalty checks about a half a mil' 

Whether off or on the chart, my cuts grips your heart 

(You know we got you open) like your gut splits apart 

I never pass the buck, my shoulder holds the weights 

So don't beef when we don't pass collection plates

I don't give money, I don't support the needy 

Schooled in America, taught to be greedy 

And everything ought to be, easy 

But I never could say goodbye to my friends who get high 

I wonder why, I'm rockin with that guy, it's serious 

Still make him cry when the satire's hilarious 

Cold for your areas, flows come in various shapes and sizes 

so hot that you despise it 

[Chorus: Dove] + (Yummy) 

Never last up to bat (no no no no) 

These skills we don't lack (no no no no) 

We never fall and pray (no no n-no no) 

Make all the ladies say (ooh ooh baby) 

You can't knock the hustle - not at all (no no no no) 

Can't be budged by your muscle (no no no no) 

Never ridin on E (no no n-no no) 

It's De La and Butta V (drive you crazy) 

[Posdonus] 

Yo, if you are what you eat; some of you 

cats heads between your girl's legs a lot cause y'all act too sweet 

(Go brush your teeth!) Then after that 

Put in a little more practice on your rhymin attack 

What you write's not the least bit hot 

Maybe cause your wrist is so cold from all that ice you cop 

Hate to hate a playa but you know what? 

I still smother ya like cheese and rockin leaves freshly cut 

[Butta Verses] 

And we the steak and potatoes and De La's the greatest 

And ladies be on the floor thankin the Lord that He made us 

I'm tellin you, I swoop her like a pelican do 

You sayin - look at that pelican fly; you spittin gelatin rhymes 

They shaky as shit, ugly in the mold you fit 

We the square peg on the round hole, sound's soulful 

Your imitation flavor is tofu 

It's true we make our bed all day, and we are. 

[Posdonus] 

. the world of rap! Take you back 

in the days of all four hundred ways that people lack 

It's that (what) authentic, big-nosed mic music 

Four to five survive all night to it 

I'm tryin to keep up with my Jones' and Thomas' 

'til I'm broke like them New Year's Eve promises 

And that's alright, I just penned another sixteen 

to fill my bank account with the mixed greens 

[Butta Verses] 

Moms want 5's and 10's 

The girls I got is 9's and 10's, VH1 "Behind The Pens" 

You anticipate greatness from elder statesmen 

I ch-ch-ch-AHH, like Biz Mark' or Jason 

I bust one shot just to start the racing 

The tortoise and the hare, which one there is chasin? 

Slow and steady, we already Andretti 

Get ticket take parades, waves and confetti and. 

[Chorus] w/ minor variations 

[Pos] Come on y'all 

[Yummy: repeat 4X] 

If the Soul keeps rockin, the streets will keep rockin 

If the streets keep rockin, the Soul will keep rockin 

If the streets stop rockin, the Soul will keep rockin 

If the Soul keeps rockin, the streets will keep rockin
