Oh we get started up one more time
I got the number✦ down right here, I'm looking at it
I couldn't believe she would do me like that P
I just don't understand✦ it dog, can't understand✦ it
Ladies✦ and gentleman
Wanna✦ welcome y'all back to "The Minstrel Show"
Thank y'all for tuning✦ in; y'all keep watching a lotta✦ the station✦
But y'all touring us right now
And it feels so beautiful
Performing at black face tonight!
It's my nigga,✦ Joe Scudda✦
Coming✦ up a little bit later✦ on in the show
I just wanna✦ thank y'all for just tuning✦ in
It's like this yo
Yo, when 'Te pulls his verses✦ out
Promoters pull their purses✦ out
That, money✦ for a purchase out
The charge card that they swipe for the worst amounts
Cause this is business,✦ not personal
Thought I would switch my personnel
Like Big Doe and Big Pooh would be the first to bounce
But y'all, niggaz✦ is boring✦ me, y'all never✦ gon' change
And please, join a sorority, go step your game up
Y'all boys ain't ready✦ for damage,✦ you need extra✦ planning
You in the game, but you off-size and gotta✦ extra✦ man
And I'm the coach doing your reprimanding
I got a team to run, boy respect my standards
And when I'm on the mic y'all should expect the grandest
Showing lyricism ever✦ let 'em know who your man is
It's Phonte (a ch- a ch- a ch- a check it now)
Don't stop, can't stop, yes I wanna✦
(So gutter)✦
Can't stop, won't stop, yes I wanna✦
(Little Brother)✦
Don't stop, can't stop, yes I wanna✦
(And all across the world, the fly ladies✦ and girls, tell me they lovin'✦ it)
Can't stop, won't stop, yes I wanna✦
Don't stop, can't stop, yes I wanna✦
(East Coast say they lovin'✦ it)
Can't stop, won't stop, yes I wanna✦
(Midwest say they lovin'✦ it)
Don't stop, can't stop, yes I wanna✦
(All worlds say they lovin'✦ it)
Can't stop, won't stop, yes I wanna✦
Its rapper✦ Big Pooh!
I got a prob with, niggaz✦ speaking gossip
Talkin'✦ bout what you know, nothing it is nonsense
That's a Bronson, Charlie take precaution✦
Get you sold on the block, no not an auction✦
Dearly✦ departin'
I'm not a G, but I move like they move
With a head full of smarts man
Here these niggaz✦ go rambling✦
Cuz they don't know about✦ the business✦ we be handling (But let em know!)
Constant hits keep em scrambling✦
Till the stores,✦ till the shelves dismantlin' (And?)
And what's that joint 9th sampling?
Pooh and 'Te on the mic, them bastards them, (Damn!)
And your women,✦ we attractin' them
And if you ever✦ wanna✦ know what's happening
We tell em
Don't stop, can't stop, yes I wanna✦
(It sounds so good)
Can't stop, won't stop, yes I wanna✦
(It's so hood!)
Don't stop, can't stop, yes I wanna✦
Can't stop, won't stop, yes I wanna✦
Don't stop, can't stop, yes I wanna✦
(West Coast say they lovin'✦ it)
Can't stop, won't stop, yes I wanna✦
(The East Coast say they lovin'✦ it)
Don't stop, can't stop, yes I wanna✦
(Southwest say they lovin'✦ it)
Can't stop, won't stop, yes I wanna✦
It's Joe Scudda!✦
I wake up every✦ morning, holding my dick
Going through life like I know I'm the shit, ya ain't fucking with me
So why try? Why go that route?
Why take that street? You can't take that heat?
Man your whole flow weak, we will take that beat
Put our own words on it, we will make that street
To the crowds and the masses,✦ and all I ask is
Don't settle for the average,✦ rap cabbage-✦
Heads; yeah you heard what I said, we the best here
Cuz our worst days be better✦ than your best years
We your worst fears
So get up, get out, and get somethin'
Man, its only✦ getting worse here
Joe Scudda,✦ little brother,✦ man we family✦
And we here forever so understand✦ me
Don't stop, can't stop, yes I wanna✦
(Check the realness)
Can't stop, won't stop, yes I wanna✦
(If you can feel this)
Don't stop, can't stop, yes I wanna✦
Can't stop, won't stop, yes I wanna✦
Don't stop, can't stop, yes I wanna✦
(9th wonder✦ say he lovin'✦ it)
Can't stop, won't stop, yes I wanna✦
(Big Pooh say he lovin'✦ it)
Don't stop, can't stop, yes I wanna✦
Can't stop, won't stop, yes I wanna✦
(Everybody say they lovin'✦ it)
Don't stop, can't stop, yes I wanna✦
Can't stop, won't stop, yes I wanna✦
