Pos:
3
Thatand's the magic number
Yes it is
Itand's the magic number
Somewhere in this hip hop soul community
Was born 3 mase dove and me
And thatand's the magic number
(what does it all mean?)
Difficult preaching is posdnuosand' pleasure
Pleasure and preaching starts in the heart
Something that stimulates the music in my measure
Measure in my music raised in three parts
Casually see but donand't do like the soul
and'cause seeinand' and doinand' are actions for monkeys
Doinand' hip hop hustle, no rock and roll
Unless your nameand's brewster, and'cause brewsters are funky
Parents let go and'cause thereand's magic in the air
Criticising rap shows youand're out of order
Stop look and listen to the phrase fred astaires
And donand't get offended while mase do-se-doand's your daughter
A tri-camera rolls since our musicand's now set
Fly rhymes are stored on a d.a.i.s.y. production
It stands for andquot;da inner sound yand'allandquot; and yand'all can bet
That the actionand's not a trick, but showing the function
Everybody wants to be a deejay
Everybody wants to be an emcee
But being speakers are the best
And you donand't have to guess
De la soul posse consists of three
And thatand's the magic number
Dove:
This here piece of the pie
Is not desser but the course that we dine
And three out of every darn time
The effect is andquot;mmmmandquot; when a daisy grows in your mind
Showing true position, this here piece is
Kissinand' the part of the pie thatand's missinand'
When that negative number fills up the cavity
Maybe you can subtract it
You can call it your lucky partner
Maybe you can call it your adjective
But odd as it may be
Without my 1 and 2 where would there be
My 3
Mase pos and me
And thatand's the magic number
Focus is formed by flaunts to the soul
Souls who flaunt styles gain praises by pounds
Common are speakers who are never scrolls
Scrolls written daily creates a new sound
Listeners listen and'cause this here is wisdom
Wisdom of a speaker, a dove and a plug
Set aside a legal substance to feed and'em
For now get and'em high off this dialect drug
Time is a factor so itand's time that counts
Count not the negative actions of one
Speakers of soul say itand's time to shout
Three forms the soul to a positive sum
Dance to this fix and flex every muscle
Space can be filled if you rise like my lumber
Advance to the tune but donand't do the hustle
Shake, rattle, roll to my magic number
Now you may try to subtract it
But it just wonand't go away
Three times one?
(what is it?)
(one, two, three!)
And thatand's a magic number
(yo, whatand's up?)
(1, 2, 3)
(i say, children, what does it all mean?)
(woah-woah-wo, 1, 2, 3)
(i wouldnand't lie to you)
(no more no less, thatand's a magic number)
(no more no less)
(what it is?)
(no more no less)
(do the shang-a-lang)
(no more no less)
(anybody in the audience ever get hit by a car?)
(no more no less)
(how highand's the water, mama?)
(no more no less)
(how highand's the water, mama?)
(no more no less)
(three feet high and rising)
(no more no less)
(three)
(thatand's a magic number)
