[ Pete Rock ] Here we go One time to the head Somethin like this [ VERSE 1: C.L. Smooth ] Make way for the C.L. wrath on phonograph Knowin the half, cosy like a bubblebath Never said to be strange when I break and rearrange A weak sap that's small as chump change In the pocanos playin dominos Foes who rose caught a broken nose 'Who's the Boss?' Not Tony Danza ? Lorne Greene on 'Bonanza' 'Unforgettable' as Nat King Cole Rough like a rodeo, hangin like a scarecrow I get busynism, pump the realism And just for the teacher or tutor I quiz em Bonafied to eat you like Frito Lays You can't faze and roll like the craze Cultivate the mind, train it to teach To write a book like Edward? Shaw Keats? Motivate the crowd aloud to get a response Catch the mood of ambiance No Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey ?, played like a damn ukulele Ahead of the class, so I break ya like glass Have ya open like a surgery bypass Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth without a doubt That's why we're all souled out [ Pete Rock ] Yeah (8X) [ VERSE 2: C.L. Smooth ] C.L.'ll get wreck in a millimeter sec Kirk out, all hands on deck Pick up the pen again, perp like? Sanchor? We're goin Warp Speed, raise the anchor Rock a party so fly it's a sin You bang on the door but you can't come in So get a? like? Rolo? tomorrow And if he turn snake just cut him like an avocado Share the bread and wine like the Passover Better luck than a four-leaf clover C.L. Smooth'll kick a groove to a nation Start from Genesis, end at Revelations The tune immune and tap the fannies Of Miss America and pick flavor panties The man no type of woman avoids Grab a microphone, blow it up like steroids Enticin like lingerie Had to lay Connie May just the other day Explore like Magellan, shake like a gelatine Can't be a felon, more seeds than a watermelon When I raise like cattle for the battle C.L. is prime time, go buy a raffle A ticket when I kick it, clever like an? Masses and classes crisp and clear I rock em, sock em? Pete Rock around the clock catchin wreck on the block Playin more vocals than a Milli Vanilli Shoot the gift with a spliff, but cousin, pass the philly And let me get Brand Nubian, cold shake your booty and Large like a? Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth without a doubt That's why we're all souled out [ VERSE 3: C.L. Smooth ] Smooth like Fabian, hot as the Arabian Some will try but can't solve the equation Take em down to the city where the boys act illy And the girls look pretty like a philly Rock the nurses, a quick couple of verses No one curses, a king being the merciless Read the resume first and I bet em Paralyzin, hard to trace like venom ? Diluted? strictly be chillin To play a better show on screen than Jack Nicholson Ed Lovett International cuts my hair A pioneer run fear here to Delaware I got a 'Monie in the middle' for a playmate A Spinderella/Salt-n-Pepa lover that's great The unchained melody, sing it like Sarah Vaughn Your ass is grass cause I can mow the lawn Not a tricky-dickey lover that's picky But hard nitty-gritty when things get sticky I wanna hold a hump back like a whale But you're frail and don't weigh much on a scale The Tango & Cash, dynamic duo Figure the one done so you know Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth without a doubt That's why we're all souled out
