Straighten It Out Lyrics - Mecca And The Soul Brother - Pete Rock And Cl Smooth

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' 

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 

Photos 

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)
