[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]

[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

[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]

[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...
