[Intro: ?uestlove]
It's comin', y'all, it's comin'
Straight from Philadelphia
It's definitely comin'
G check, this is ?uestlove
Coolin'
Mic check
First up to bat is the kid Myself, of Me, Myself & Eye
Represent, kid, and it goes 1... 2... 3...
[Verse 1: Myself a.k.a. ELO The Cosmic Eye & (Black Thought)]
It's me, no applause? Pull up your drawers, hun
Don't throw them on stage 'cause you're probably underage
But to the rest of y'all that's in the crowd
I'm here to let ya know (Say what?!) — it's comin'
I hear you, you're hummin'
The bass lines, the drums is phat, indeed!
I don't need high speed to get my point across
But when I rap, I lead in the rhythmic creed
And the end result is that you still get lost (Uh-huh)
I toss my hat in the air for the brothers
Who wrote this funky track, and if I had I'd throw another
To all the grits-getters 'cause I know you can relate
When I tell ya it won't be a long wait before you see that...
[Hook repeated]
It's comin'!
[Interlude: ?uestlove]
Awwww, yeah
It goes on and on (On and on)
To the break of dawn (Break of dawn)
Check it out, yo, this is my brother AJ Shine
With insight for your mind
It goes 1... 2... 3...
C'mon!
[Verse 2: AJ Shine a.k.a. Joe Young]
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Guess who's comin' to dinner! It's the beginner
Not thickenin' the plot, hot like Scott Storch on the keys
I light a torch on these MC's
Take the flame plus my name overseas
So I'm... shinin' over here! I'm shinin' over there!
The flow from Tokyo to Trafalgar Square
So get zooted on the deeply rooted mad skills polluted
See? 'Cause of the ways we does it, trips are comin' out the budget
BAM! The door's jammed, slammed in my face, damn!
'Cause she doesn't have a clue who's able
Labels smile by the mile and say your sound's "Too freestyle"
I got a underground view, it says that "It's supposed to!"
So don't front on the masterpiece from the East
The dollar writin' rhymes, ironed tight like a crease
As I say peace to Quite Sane, the Jazz and London rain
It's how we're comin' on the scene, ya know what I mean?!
'Cause it's comin'
[Hook repeated]
It's comin'!
[Interlude: ?uestlove]
[Verse 3: Malik B, (Black Thought) & ?uestlove]
A.K.A. the microphone Messiah, trample like a stallion
Snatch ya ass like a gold medallion
Or a stash of a thousand big greens
This nig' seems to be extreme
But it's just due to the fact that I gleam! (BING!)
Eyebrows aroused as I house
The microphone system striker prone, I flows for miles
And Miles, but my last name is not Davis
I hope you're not offended
'Cause the word is splendid, moves ya like Avis
Trucks, 'cause it's plenty niggas struck
'Cause this illy, silly sucka tried to trick — I flip that ass like a penny!
The cooler nigga, not Slick Rick, but the ruler
I figured, my lyrics will be triggered! (Blahhh!!!)
Verbally attack, I will deserve to bust a cap
On those WACK-ASS MC's! Those JACK-ASS MC's!
I never go to court when I'm summoned
Brother ?uestion — keep drummin' 'cause you know that it's comin'!
[Hook]
It's comin'!
[Interlude: ?uestlove]
Awwww, shit! It's somethin' now
Next up is my man with the master plan
Put the mic in his hand
My brother
Step up, Black Thought, step up one time
[Verse 4: Black Thought]
Yo! I do this thing and bring the swing like Roger Clemens
Last an innings, I got phat Def Jams like Russell Simmons
A poster child for wild MC's across the planet
Poetic as Janet's Justice, plus when I bust this, trust this
Dust this ashes that I scatter over rappers I'm phatter than
They prayin' to them pimps in the Vatican
I take 'em out! It's all about the short and stout
Clouds to sleep, ya speak "Warm it up, 'Riq"
Yo, I'm about to slam more blam than a man with a tan
I hate MC's like Farrakhan hate ham
And I slam like Islam as I blam
Aiyyo, that's word to ya granny
Who be dancin' in her panties for Luke out in Miami
No Grammy nomination
Though I'm heard across the nation when rippin'
I be trippin', but I never take vacation
Yo, listen! As I kick it like them kids in California
Creep up on ya, jackin' makin' me the owner
Of yo' shit, nigga, bitch nigga, see deez nutz, well, free deez
I sneeze G's, I'm ill as diabetes
It's all about the South Philly kid who mouth really be runnin'
Off and on to the break of dawn
[Hook repeated]
It's comin'!
[Interlude: Black Thought]
{*shout-outs and adlibs*}
[Outro]
It's comin', y'all, it's comin', yeah
It's comin', yeah, it's comin', yeah
It's comin, nigga! It's comin', nigga!
It's comin, nigga! It's comin', nigga!
It's comin, nigga! It's comin', nigga!
It's comin, nigga! It's comin', nigga!
