[00:00.000]It's Like That - De La Soul
[00:19.961]It's like New York without a New York yanks
[00:22.771]Better yet New York without the New York franks
[00:25.331]It's like hot summers without no A C
[00:27.521]Or never hitting numbers when you go to A C
[00:30.581]It's like six years of your life go ask Rob
[00:33.151]I'm like"Yo how is it" he like"It's like hard"
[00:36.021]Trying for that queen but you nothing but a man
[00:39.901]You wanna keep it clean but you can't
[00:41.581]Why it gotta be like that
[00:42.711]And what the life see life is like a J shot
[00:44.991]Shooters son they got
[00:46.931]One point one second you half court
[00:48.491]I'm feeling the adrenaline like you half court
[00:50.301]Like pink slips and dipping these ink tips to paper
[00:52.241]Imagine if we f**k around and lose Hip-hop
[00:54.801]Imagine if it didn't exist
[00:56.551]Imagine nothing shining your wrist
[00:58.051]See imagining to you is a risk
[01:00.491]But think about it like no chrome rims
[01:02.681]And tims would be construction boots (ill)
[01:04.241]We probably wouldn't even substitute (ill)
[01:07.431]For words we use defining our likes
[01:09.431]I'm coal mining these mics
[01:10.991]To keep that gold nugget like Dave Megget
[01:13.731]Giant like a motherf**ker like Dave said it
[01:17.351]But ya ain't listening ya paper gon' stack
[01:19.171]Why it gotta be like that
[01:21.731]That dadadat dadat dadat dadat dadat dadat dadat dat
[01:24.421]Dat dadadat dadat dat dadadat dadadat dat dat dadat dadat
[01:31.611]Just running running fast as I can
[01:32.981]I'm trying to be a person but I gotta be the man
[01:35.421]If I can't stand the life that I'm in
[01:37.860]I gotta keep running 'cause I'm still gon' win
[01:39.800]Yes I got to go on (it's like that it's like that)
[01:44.300]Yes I got to go on (it's like that it's like that)
[01:50.170]It's like Slick Rick without the eye patch
[01:52.480]More like saying slick sh*t you won't catch
[01:54.730]It's like bed time without your PJ's
[01:56.730]Or no fed timing in out the PJ's
[01:58.980]It's like one minute you got it then you broke
[02:01.670]Like what I do with it I copped a few with it
[02:05.170]Looking like a problem but you won't get it solved
[02:07.860]You working but you won't get the job
[02:09.920]It's like who would of thought (thought)
[02:11.610]It you would of bought (bought)
[02:13.610]Into my religion you'd be more like God
[02:15.480]But you were steady swimming so you more like cod
[02:18.490]See these fools is fish scale converting to ish male
[02:21.110]See I see it like A alike B alike
[02:23.360]I was taught if you play alike be alike
[02:25.110]How they don't see it for one to go pop
[02:26.920]And this is how you treat Hip-hop
[02:28.290]Imagine if you didn't have that phantom chrome sitting on a curb ni**a
[02:31.290]The word ni**a wouldn't be a bit disturbing ni**a
[02:34.360]See them roots are like begging for the rain
[02:36.790]You entering my kingdom just a begging for the reign
[02:38.800]Putting sh*t stain to paper
[02:39.790]Ink pain feeling like fifty-five licks on a slave niggaz back
[02:46.271]And not a one of y'all stopping to hate
[02:47.961]But why it gotta be like that
[02:49.331]That dadadat dadat dat dat dadat dat dadadat dat dat
[02:52.521]Dadadat dadat dadadat dat dat dat dat dat dadat dadat dat
