POS: |
|
My name, my name, my name is the Pasta |
|
Now I like, I like I like to plug the real thing |
|
So loose, so loose, so loose with the tap dance, |
|
The funk, the funk, funky funky stuff I bring |
|
My tribe, my tribe, my tribe is known as Native Tongues, |
|
Consists, consists, consists of Jungle, Quest and others |
|
Get played, get played, played a lot on radio |
|
And also, and also, and also by some foul brothers |
|
The Pease, the Pease the Pease Porridge never failed |
|
It kept, it kept us calm, our stylin' merry |
|
But late, but lately loonies acting real bold |
|
Can't sip in luxury my apple cranberry |
|
Girls watch, and watch, and watch I dance the big tut |
|
Our home, our home our homeboys has to plan tricks |
|
Don't real, don't real, don't realise the Native Tongue |
|
Is rollin' strong and we're startin' in the megamix |
|
GOSSIP GLADIATORS: (Lashawna and Jenette) |
|
- Yo, Miss Thing! |
|
- Yo Merisa, what's up? |
|
- You heard what happened at the Donut Hill the other night? - Yo I was there and those De La kids was fighting, yo they was wildin'. |
|
- Word man? |
|
- Word, the whole thing happened in front of my face, yo, they was on the dance floor, right, some kid stepped up to |
|
them and said something about hippies, then punks, and the chubby one, Plug Three? |
|
- Yeah. Plug Three, yeah I know him. |
|
- All right, Plug Three, all right, he walked up to this kid, hit him real quick, think he didn't when he did, and then them |
|
other kids the Jungle Brothers and Quest and, um, what's the other ones, the other ones? |
|
- The Violators. |
|
- The Violators, right, right, throwing chairs, and they didn't care who they was hitting, you think they wasn't? |
|
- Yeah. I know, I thought it was supposed to be about peace signs, things like that, you know... |
|
MASE: |
|
Question, and that's if only I can ask this question |
|
Can I? (Yes you can!) |
|
Why do people think just because we speak peace |
|
We can't blow no joints? |
|
(I-I-I don't know) |
|
GRANDMA MASE: (Squirrel) |
|
Mase, this is the ninth day I've reheated this porridge. You know it keeps me peacefully, no? |
|
MASE: |
|
Yeah, but my tolerance level has now peaked |
|
And now it's time for some heads to get flown |
|
DOVE: |
|
We bring, we bring, we bring, we bring the peace of course |
|
But pack a nine inside, inside my De La drawers |
|
A picture, picture, picture, picture painted pink |
|
Could turn to red, to red, to red in blooded quick |
|
But in a single file my Native Tongue is calm |
|
I rather, rather pass a brother palm to palm |
|
I kick, I kick, I kick a verse of unity |
|
And shack, and shackle steps to the beat, beat |
|
I click, I click the TV to the Simpsons |
|
And sip the Porridge deep into my system |
|
So mel, so mellow mode is my day mode |
|
Inside the studio or on a road |
|
The Swing, the Swingalow is the now step |
|
It's murder if you bet 'cause you're life's jep |
|
To praise, to praise the Soul is on a down drag |
|
It's false, because I'll spray you with the Black Flag |

POS: |
|
Can't stand, can't stand, can't stand the pop music |
|
Brother, brother, brothers pop a lot of pow |
|
Don't watch, don't watch, don't watch a lot of basketball |
|
Don't und, don't understand the act of being fouled |
|
Hey D, hey D, hey DJ set the record up |
|
It's time, it's time, it's time to tame the annoying pups |
|
Throw on the Touching Fingers serenade |
|
So we can throw our lemonade |
|
In their face and kick their little butts |
|
FIGHT COMMENTATORS: (Squirrel and Mikey Roads) |
|
- And off, and Mase is the first to throw a punch and he connects lovely to the ribcage. Wouldn't you say so Squirrel? |
|
- Indeed, indeed, I waould say he showed a lot of formulate combination, but look at the hoodlum trying to escape. |
|
- Yeah, it seems that that particular hoodlum showed great form in trying to escape, but he, ah, just got his ass busted. |

DOVE: |
|
People wanna get ragged with the reruns |
|
Me not, me not, me not scared to trudge a bit |
|
They can't, they can't, they can't get close to none |
|
I tap, I tap, I tap a dance war skit |
|
The por, the por, the Porridge got crazy cold |
|
We won't, we won't eat until the heads are flown |
|
Take advantage to a cool one's peaceful ways |
|
But when, but when we fly that head all the people say |
|
THE FROG: (Lisle Leete) |
|
Here in Frogland, we always eat our Porridge, 'cause it keeps us frogs real peaceful like. |
|
JABIB: (Jarobi) |
|
In my land, my people adore Porridge. And I don't understand why De La Soul is so violent, and we are |
|
so peaceful, we sit by the camp fire and listen to our rituals, and they are so violent. I don't understand, |
|
I don't understand. |
