The Show

[Verse One] [Stricklin]:

Got to town at like a quarter to three

3:30, still in the lobby, waitin' on my room key

4:00 I'm in my room watchin' TV

The phone rang it's Words, "What up man? Where you be?"

[Wordsworth]:

Checked in, I'm downtown lookin' for uptown

Still need a cut and the store's about to shut down

I'm pushin' it, I know that I'm already late

I haven't eaten all day, I haven't spoken to Ace

[Masta Ace]:

I'm in the room gettin' dressed, gettin' fresh to death

Push ups, a few sits and an extra stretch

Then a nice hot shower aftershave and powder

Call Punch and tell him I'll be ready in an hour

[Punchline]:

Yo, Ace hit me on the hip about a quarter to six

And I'm with these two chicks, bout to cop me some kicks

Real quick

I'mma see you cats real soon

Bout to cop this one pair and bring 'em back to the room

[Stricklin]:

Back to the lobby like 6:15

Did a drop for a dude, interview for his magazine

At 7:00 I'm off to the radio station

7:35, on the air live

[Wordsworth]:

Hopped in the cab hear Strick on the radio

Turn it up

Tell the driver which way to go

Called in, let people know where we performin'

Ladies free, 18 and up and we recordin'

[Masta Ace]:

I'm in the mirror lookin' clean and tight, a mean sight

Sweatsuit matched the Air Force, green and white

Got the matching bandana

Pose for the camera

Price on the tickets and our names on the banner

EMC

[Punchline]:

Real fast shawty came, got her nut and she passed

'Bout to iron out my clothes, jump my ass in the bath

In the lobby kids want me to put my name on they cast

Call the promoter make sure he got all of the cash

[Chorus] [Ladybug Mecca]:

Somethings I learn from touring town to town

The...place is filling up

So...thank you all, tonight is sold out

Welcome to the show

From touring town to town

The...place is filling up

So...thank you all, tonight is sold out

Welcome to the show

[Verse Two] [Stricklin]:

Back in the van at eight, drivin' to the venue

Sound check, let's see what's next on the menu

8:50 restaurant, I ordered plenty

The food came 9:18, I took a shit at 9:20

[Wordsworth]:

Time for me to go, left the hotel suite

Chased by fans, my room number, the hotel leak

Ran down the staircase, headed towards the limo

Hat fell off, jumped through the car window

[Masta Ace]:

My cell phone ringin', tryin' not to stress this

Cats callin', yellin' put 'em on the guest list

Before we hit the club, stop and cop some bub

For the promoter, this dawg showed us lots of love

[Punchline]:

Sean Jean shirt black and white

Air flights, spit rhymes to the mirror make sure that they tight

Check the song list

See what we doin' tonight

Need to link up with fam and go get me a bite

[Stricklin]:

Yeah, by 10:00 yo it's back to the telly

10:30 jumped in the shower, charged up the celly

Back to the club at 12:00

I'm in the van lookin' at the line wrapped around the block

[Wordsworth]:

Tinted, I look and see the crew from a distance

Security in black by the backdoor entrance

Wheels hit the curb, jump out ready

Recognize my face, security ain't sweat me

[Masta Ace]:

I pull up to the rear, the Ace is here

Backstage, fried chicken and a case of beer

Now I don't drink brew but I'll take a plate

Where the fuck is Punchline, yo he crazy late

[Punchline]:

Check the time, oh shit, ten minutes behind

Hope this cab got wings cause I need it to fly

Five minutes flat dawg, I pull up in the ride

The whole fam's here, now I'm 'bout to go up inside

[Chorus] [Ladybug Mecca]:

Somethings I learn from touring town to town

The...place is filling up

So...thank you all, tonight is sold out

Welcome to the show

From touring town to town

The...place is filling up

So...thank you all, tonight is sold out

Welcome to the show
