De La Soul - Long Island Degrees

Verse One

Maseo

It's strong island for real where the critters run wild

the prefix is 516 the top of the dial

trhough the L.I. Sound to the villa down under

and across the globe I heard a lot of folks wonderin'

so when's it coming 'cause the stakes is high

see big money that waves don't put the pen to my page

and ain't nothin' wrong with standing still and relaxing

and spendin' some of that cash that Uncle Sam is gonna tax

a New York demeanor is sit back in the beamer

with nothing to lose but some gas and some minutes

ignorin' the gazers 'cause some stars don't get petty

and that trash you talk is just New Years confetti

it's like that y'all, but that's all 'bout to change

like some of my own, people tend to act strange

i'm making a scene, and it's served with it's capabilities

so set it at an island's degrees

Posdanous

It's strong island for real, the diagnosis is supreme

the prefix is 516, where microphones fiend

the voices that gots the gift, 'cause the world is on their shoulders

makein' plans to switch from little rock to money boulders

the real proceed

my girl stands deep from nubians actin' like Columbians sellin' keys

characters have the tendency to con themselves

to think the East Coast is only New York and Philadelph

you know the way we blow, your shit is played like pork

and as for what we be bringin' you, we live and direct from New York

I ougtta say my fam causes commercs.

steppin' to me fool will get you punched out like a curse

it's like that y'all, let it all consume

like them brothas who smoke, 'till they high like the moon

soon to a town near you be them super emcees

settin' them
