Family of the Underground

Aight

Yo, 2pac! Fuck's up?!

What’s up, Treach, nigga

What's up, there's a whole bunch of y’all niggas man just like the Flavour Unit, what's up with that?

Word, we all kinda deep, right

Yo, you should tell Shock to do a song with everybody, putting everybody down, you know

Shock would never do that..!

People want to know about the Underground

And how the hip-hop rivers keep flowing

They want to know where we've been and where we're going

Straight dropping style after style

Let's take a look through the emcee file

Hmm, we've got the K down in Tampa Bay

We've got Mone in Oaktown, we've got Blocko in L.A

The list goes from Africa to down in Miami

Yeah (boy) time to introduce the family

What do you know, our reunion, the family’s back

We went our own different ways, was broke, and now we’re living fat

A different journey and a path we took

Some strayed the wrong way but hey, that's okay

Blocko! The one to break up all the chitchat

Sit back, relax and max as we attack this wax

But it’s like that, that's the way we're living

A Puerto Rican brother with the gift for giving

Well, it's the ‘M’, the ‘A', the ‘C', the dash, the ‘M'

The ‘O', the ‘N', the ‘E', that's me and him

The two, the three, the four, the five, the six

The ‘I', the ‘A', the ‘M', the, hmm, the shit

The one you waited and waited, debated for

To rush and bust and crush and slam the door

To rip and kick and spit a funky rhyme

But I'm ‘O', the ‘U', the ‘T', the ‘O-F' time

Hiphop sound from the underground, family

Gather round, Zulu baby with the boots and crown

Slip in to give us a listen of what you're missing

Able and gifted enough to speak in geez while we're kicking

So listen, it ain't where you're from, it ain't where you're at

It's where you're going, if you didn't know before now you're knowing

The Underground family runs the show

We wrote a song about it, you want to hear it? Here it go

It's a family affair (yeah!)

It's a family affair (family)

It's a family affair (yeah!)

It's a family affair (family)

Yeah, Big Stretch with the motherfucking Underground

Check the sound, it's a family ting running you down

And no question, wrecking from back in the days

With Shock G getting money in criminal ways

But now we're gold and microphone rolling

Sucker duck stolen, leaving the hoes cold drooling

Digital Underground with the Squad

Fuck around and get scarred, it's a family affair

Stepping to the mic as I recite a little line

You don't know who I am? I am the Master, the Mind

Sitting back relaxing as I tell a little story

Like in Wallalaley and Glory!

Met the homeboy December, yo, I do remember

The lyrics I spit make him high and dismembered

A tip of my lip is a hit so beware

I'm down with the ‘Ground, and it's a family affair

It's a family affair (yeah!)

It's a family affair (yeah!)

It's a family affair (yeah!)

It's a family affair (family)

Feel the fire, Shassiah is running live kick it

Like a luxury line with the tube of precision

The way we flow the rhythm hits the party from top

We got the sunshine rhyme so hype air drops

Coming straight from the bridge and going beyond

With the capital ‘P' and the magical wand

Inch one in effect, St. Ides forty beers

Shassiah and I'm out of here, ‘cause it's a family affair

Through audio, video and even in stereo

Walking down the street while niggas try to peep

Our style, I'm telling you it's wild

Brothers looking out for one another

Writing and reciting our poetry

Chilling while you're illing, making cash money

But step to one hass if you dare

And then you know it's a family affair

And here comes P.B.C., O.B., Rakiem

And D-Love

And don't forget my man T.F.E

Cause we're wrecking ‘em

Wrecking ‘em

Wrecking ‘em, adversaries to none

All parts of the body

Don't step to them

We swing this ep for the kleptos

Step while you sweat

Here comes the rep in control

Of the freaky dope concept

That's the time to rhyme

Another Jackson hit

A funky skit?

Yeah, G, we're taxing it

We roam from the Bronx

And then we jet from Queens

And then we talk in Long Island

Where the family seems

If you get big for your pride

We'll take the heart of your block

You get snatched for what you get if you half-step, hops

G-Allah, Earl Wynne, Kid Cush, Shock G

My brother Jean

My man Dave

Fly Jazz and OG

The 85s is the gods, peace for eternity

A tribe? Knowledge-Ciper, THAT'S A FAMILY!

It's a family affair (yeah!)

It's a family affair (family)

It's a family affair (yeah!)

It's a family affair (family)

It's a family affair (yeah!)

It's a family affair (yeah!)

It's a family affair (yeah!)

It's a family affair (yeah!)

It's a family affair (yeah!)

It's a family affair (family)

It's a family affair (yeah!)

It's a family affair (family)

It's a family affair

It's a family affair
