S.O.S.

[Verse 1: Mr. Man]

S.O.S

Breaker breaker 1-9 maydey

Surviving off of pennies until my next payday

All I ever wanted was a real nice lady

A clean pair of socks

And some fish for my gravy

But all I get is rice

Which will have to suffice

Coz I always used to think I didn't need no advice

So I never ever really tried to heed no advice

But in the end we all pay the price

So let's get to the point (point point)

Of the whole situation

So many obstacles

So many confronations

But still I'm focused on reaching every station

Coz destiny is my destination

I came to make it happen

Instead of wasting time I don't got

The time is now

Coz I only got one shot

Navigating through the schemes

And the intricate plots

Coz you and I is all we got

Lets make it happen

[Chorus: Mr. Man]

Surviving off of pennies until my next payday

All I ever wanted was a real nice lady

A clean pair of socks

And some fish for my gravy

[Verse 2: Lee Majors]

Why

Why is the world round

Why do the suckas bite

Why do the freaks come out at night

Why they paint Jesus white

I sit and wonder why

We breakin hip hop laws

Doing videos in houses that we know ain't yours

Representing projects

Man them shits ain't yours (check your lease)

What I release I'll make you shit in your draws

[Bridge: Y-Tee]

Well then

Hear what I say (OK)

Your begin for an easy way

Well I don't know (well I dont know)

Oh yes I don't know

Yo light

Let me let these niggas know

Its like all I ever wanted was a girl with

Respect and a 3rd eye

DKNY ain't what makes you fly

Lights in my face

Government in my pocket

Its hard to be a prophet and still make a profit

[Chorus 2: Mr. Man & Lee Majors]

S.O.S

Breaker breaker 1-9 maydey

Surviving off of pennies until my next payday

All I ever wanted was a real nice lady

A clean pair of socks

And some fish for my gravy

[Verse 3: Mos Def]

I swing with fat cats to smack tracks over phat raps

It's all of that, we tread the BK back road (brooklyn)

'96, we about to put it on

Hey, baby pa, put a quarter upon the needle head

To hold it still while I lace up the verbal threat

Now watch me sew shit up

Mos Def in your spot, about to blow shit up

See I've been rhyming since when I was growing up

That's why I say that shit that make the party open up

Like the sky, plus my voice is fly

I roll with Dave, Mase and Wonder Why

I rock it from Medina Green on to the Strong I-I...

Land on my feet, 'cause I'm a cool cat

Make the kids around my way say "How you do that?"

So all I kick to them is bare ass true fact

Like "Careful what you say, 'cause ain't no take-backs"

And "If you makin' moves, baby, don't fake jacks"

Like cats who plays hard and soft like plum skin

Perhaps that's the sound when you smack the drum skin

Ay yo, wherever ya'll want to jump in

Everybody, get into somethin' somethin'

Everybody, get into somethin' somethin'

Yo, fuck waitin' around, pay me on the front end

Man, I don't want the landlord kicking my door in

You tight, getting high, but you never know when

You may fuck around and get low again

But you can always be certain, my friend

High or low, tide is always gonna come in

Hey-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye

It's like that – so check it on out ya'll

[Chorus: Mos Def]

The S.O.S

Breaker breaker 1-9 maydey

Surviving off of pennies until my next payday

All I ever wanted was a real nice lady

S.O.S

Breaker breaker 1-9 maydey

Surviving off of pennies until my next payday

All I ever wanted was a real nice lady

[Outro: Lee Majors]

It's like right about now you're probably sitting on

Your couch thinking, "Damn, what is son doing?

I dont understand!"

You try to front, but its like you can't, son

Its music

You gotta appreciate music

Take a listen

Yeah, yall... dont understand

Before you're a MC, you a artist

You make music

So make that music

Listen to this, yeah, I feel it

I see you heads...
