[d-life]


This is the master d-life


As we set it off with my mans a tribe called quest


And uhhwe got to do it like this baby


We got to do it like that baby


We got the good shit not the bullshityaknahmean? ha hah


We bout to count it downwe bout to count it off


It goes a-onetwothreeahh!





[q-tip]


Malik we gettin back into that shit again


And when we rhymebrothers need to break they pensuh-oh


It’s the love movement never ends


The rap game’ll never be the same again


(phife dawg where you at baby? ) we came again





[phife dawg]


Here I come againyou feelin fine?


The dawg is like a overflowin rhyme from mind


Usually mess with shorties whose a 8 or 9


Shorty bump around to the bass-line





[q-tip]


F keeps a burner on the waist-line


That cat’s trickin offI ain’t wastin mine


You feel the uniquenessyou seekin this?


And when we do itwe be freakin this





[phife dawg]


Don’t even frontyou know you feelin this


My shade is borderin around licorice (licorice)

Chorus: with d-life





My pad and my pen (ah ahyou didn’t go there)


The beat and the blend (say wordyou didn’t go there)


The party won’t end (you knowwe got to be there)


Just keep your ?buildin with friendsyo


* repeat 2x w/ variations *





[q-tip]


We’re down for life with one destiny


It seems that the devil keeps testin me


Got the illest part of the recipe


Yo tell your homegirl to stop stressin me (stop it)


Undressin me is the part you really like


Brothers hold the cracks now they holdin mics


The cusses you get? steady rights


Marauderswe did that shit at mid-nighta-ah-aight-aight





[phife dawg]


I love it when my honeydip be slobbin me


Don’t take it personal it’s just comedy


My comedy completely turned to tragedy


I sense some of these rappers still be mad at me


Sweatin her because of her anatomy


When I bang you it’ll be assault and battery


Don’t make me discombobulate your micraphone


Talkin trash will only get you freakin headflown





[q-tip]


Uhhbuy em out the boxnever faulty ones


Get in that ass like karate son


I act with the lightsometimes it’s lookin grim


We manage a smilesometimes we slip it in





[phife dawg]

Emcees be soundin moist like vagina juice


The top of the worldwe pursuin it


Don’t worry about a thingcause we doin it


Doin itdoin it





Chorus 2x





[d-life]
