Da Two (Feat. C.L. Smooth)

What dem-up (hey) what-dem-up like this y'all (say what?)
The whole package (ah-ah, word up), what?
Bring it in like, say, say it
Whatdem up, what dem up, for real, it's real kid
C.L. Smooth, baby

Introducing C.L. then face the feats
Then I remind you of third street when it was sweet
See this, move on and grow to another plateau, with me and C.L. Smooth havin' that dough
In the last days when critical times, I left, to deal with my granddaddy's endeavors
Were correcting my errors, the first shot came in 91, E.P. done my struggle

The label is untouchable, foundation due in '92, top ten review
Respect new when that flew, they reminisce over you
Skirt chasin' what they rate me in this whole rap affair
But when it really comes down to it, who cares?
Like the tortoise and the hare, you know the race I run
But you losin' all the nights, you let the rabbit get the gun
Number one wit' a bullet and my pit name, black
It's the best who ever did it on a Pete Rock track

Ayo, two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not five, not four, not three (Just two!)

Check it out, y'all
In the beginning, let it be like the record spinning
As a child, I stack 45s in a pile
Blow the dust off, put it on before I can walk
Play static on my pop dukes automatic
I knew I wasn't average, music in my bloodstream
My pops watch his son live his dream
Now as time flew, the original classy rock crew
Shine through on streets and avenues

The next chapter, you read it, MC Shan said it
Gotta give the man behind wheels credit
Yes, yes, y'all, B-L-S and Marley Marl
The rap attack put my talents on the map
Now it's Pete Rock for days in the basement
As I amaze, watch me blow in '98 ways
I specialize in rap, DJ and produce (say what?)
With more hot tracks than Carlos DeJesus

It's the two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not five, not four, not three (just two!)

What it look like, ain't nothin' changed but the weather
Still riding with CDs and leather
Roll fives and better for all that's folded in yo' pocket
How long it take to re-up and clock it?
Drop and make a profit
And lay my position with you that we know what to do and not to do
Stop this fighting each other
God knowledge you Wiz, that you know who the enemy is

Furthermore, don't hide it, divide it, then next you square
To keep them other cats folded like beach chairs
Got an eye on that street aristocrat
Let C.L. show ya where the strips at (yeah-yeah)
Turn it up right here or just call the cop, 'cause we on it like this to the last stop
The next Humphrey Bogart, mastering art
Like a jeweler wit' a diamond cutter, taking 'em apart

Don't start what you can't finish
When yo' bubble wit' skills that never diminish
Your best team against mine is a light scrimmage
So play like Popeye and eat spinach (now check it out)

It's the two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not five, not four, not three (just two!)

Just two cool cats who reclaim the name
Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth in this here rap game
But the good news is that there is a crew
Not five, not four, not three (just two!)

Just two, Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth (just two!)
49-8
Get it straight, get it straight, get it straight
Get it straight, get it straight, get it straight
Waddup, waddup (just two) peace, just two, just two
Just-just-just just two, just-just-jus just two, just two, just two
