Talk to me (Yeah)
I'm back well-rested (Yeah), time invested
Number one requested, number one suggested
Sir, open your books, it's midterm
Chicago, it's my turn
I'm from the golden era, an '80s baby
Way before T.I., way before Shady
Way before Luda, way before Baby
I rock now for those who can't lately
I'm from the N-E-W York C-I-T-Y
Now y'all see why we fly
I rocked bells with L, I did tours with Run
I did this for fun, years before Pun
And y'all ask how many guns I hold
I'm like, "Three," I nicknamed 'em De La Soul
Pluck one, pluck two, pluck three
Leave potholes in your chest, RIP
Let's get 'em, baby
Give the drummer some (Some)
Come on, y'all
So what you sayin'?
What?
Let me hear you say, "Hola, hola, hola"
Said, "Hola, hola, hola"
Right here, P
See, the employees over here, yeah, we back to work
I took time off while other rappers got jerked
Due to the fact they wack in their tracks
Had to go back in stacks 'cause they lack
The ingredients, EPMD and Dre for that
(Domino, domino, domino, domino)
I'm the hip-hopper, plus the soul shocker
Not with the beat, yes, the microphone doctor
One wrecks, the other destroys
And if you think you're ready to mess, kill the noise
We don't play when it's time to slay
I get a cut from my homie, yo, then I lay
Back and mackin' all the rhymes I pack
I wait for a sucker to duck and then attack
Well, I'm known to be the master in the MC field
No respect in '87, '88, you kneel
'Cause I produce and get loose when it's time to perform
Wack a sucker like Mop & Glo, that's word bond
Back a second time, put on a different assignment
Then do a sucker new track, who needs a rapper to rhyme it?
'Cause I'm the cream of the crop when it's time to do a show
Brothers on my jock for my dope intro
As I glance at E Double, K microphone wrecker
To them that call us, say, "Mic check"
To the ladies, eat all party goers
Some call me P, others Flow Flora
Brothers on my jock for the way I hold a piece of steel
Ayo, so what you sayin'?
Domino, domino, domino, domino
E Dub, Dub, Dub, so what you sayin'?
Domino, domino, domino, domino
What? What?
What? What?
Yo, Ser', break that shit down right there, son
I put motherfuckin' heads to bed straight out the box
MCs are dope, but not shoes to stock
I'm not playin', understand what I'm sayin'?
Catch a sucker in my way, and yuck, and I'm sprayin'
Takin' no shorts, showin' by those signs
You can tell by my line I am gettin' mines
In '89, because I'm fine as wine
The balcony climb, cross the center line
Yo, just stroll, listen to rock and roll
Catch a flick at the movies, dance or bowl
But I choose to refuse to slack, it's a fact
I take a chance, Jack, so I must attack
With knick-knack, paddywhack, so I won't lack
(Chicago) My style is def and as deadly as crack
Yo, while I'm slangin', music's playin', the sucker is delayin'
A battle in trenches with the funk you be playin'
'Cause with a partner like E Double, I don't come a dime a dozen
I don't, not kin or related, but you can call us cousin
As we climb the charts, better known as statistics
Brothers on my jock while I'm kickin' ballistics
Droppin' hits like a mouse in your gaffers, chillin' more
The proof's in the pudding, check the Billboard
People 'round town talkin' this and that
How we sound like The R and our music was wack
Dropped the album, strictly business, if you thought we would fold
Thirty days later, the LP went gold, so what you sayin'?
Domino, domino, domino, domino
(Chicago, yo, what?)
Domino, domino, domino, domino
(Yo, one time, ayo, so what you sayin'?)
Domino, domino, domino, domino
Domino, domino, domino, domino
Yeah, yeah
Yo, break it down, E
Now, party people, it's time for the exquisite
No, not Nas 'cause that was dead or it isn't
It's the E-R-I-C-K, yes, the Boy Wonder
No foul, no peace, no boots, and no bundles
I'm so how hot, so you can say I'm blazin'
Or use the man, yo, says, yo, I am
(So amazing, it's not amazing)
For a sucker to attack, you'll need the E Double
Me and PMD like the Funky Fresh Couple
We fight fire with fire, that's why most retire
When we needed a pitch, boy, you was high as Jewish memorized
With a style like we was bringin' in an all-out battle
P comes out swingin' 'cause I'm just the type of brother
That's out to get mines, and if the odds against me
I still drop mines and get mines on time
That's why most resign, sit up and lay down in a chair
Relax my head and recline, sip a Pepsi or Coke
With a twist of lime, crack a forty-oh
Then I go for mine, so what you sayin'?
Domino, domino, domino, domino
(E Dub, Dub, Dub, E-R, Dub, Dub, what?)
Domino, domino, domino, domino
(E.P.M.D. in the house, Erick Sermon, so what you sayin'?)
Domino, domino, domino, domino
(Chicago, my man on the drums)
Domino, domino, domino, domino
(Break it down, yo)
