Testo Dear Dilla - Reprise - Phife Dawg feat. Q-Tip
Testo della canzone Dear Dilla - Reprise (Phife Dawg feat. Q-Tip), tratta dall'album Forever
Yo, what up, man?
Yo, what chorus you want me to do?
You, you said you want me to do a chorus?
Which one? On which song?
Uh-huh
Dear Dilla, bounce
Yeah, this a celebration, bounce
D-Town, celebration of life
NYC, throw it up (Yeah)
Smokin' Needle
The whole world, throw it up
Riddim Kidz
Peep game, yeah, yeah
Hold tight, this ain't the last time I see you (Nah)
Due time, that's my word, I'ma see you (Uh-huh)
Frontin'-ass rappers down here still an issue (Silly)
Posin' like they hard when we know they all see-through (Go)
I'ma tell you, Dilla, why they lackin' skills, pal (Why?)
No stage presence, cadence, style (Uh, uh)
They livin' off of hooks (Yeah), skinny jean crooks (Yeah)
Pre-K lyrics, "I wanna read a book"
I reminisce, reminisce, when Mobb dropped "Shook"
Shan was down by law (Uh), such a good look (Uh)
Nas' God's Son and his return with Stillmatic
Roost' distortion and static, you and Slum Fantastic (Yeah)
Thought I chopped you out, son, see how you doin' (Yeah)
Come back to Earth, homie, hip-hop is in ruins
I'm a third of the Tribe, but I'ma speak for the clique
What up, though? We miss you, kid, Motor City say
Dear Dilla, there's not a day that
Goes by that I don't think 'bout you
Dear Dilla, I keep my head to the sky 'cause I know Phife's there too
Dear Dilla, and when I get there, God
Willing, your music will move outer space
Dear Dilla, and y'all both left a mark 'cause no one takes your place
Yo, yo, beat-wise, you still that cat which most shouldn't be measured
I'm that MC known to share his displeasure
With the route the game has taken, how mundane things have gotten
You know, music on a whole, never mind just hip-hoppin' (Uh)
I'm in the club three hours and change
DJ spinnin' Top 40 (C'mon, please), tracks we be hearin' all day
Some MCs with catalog and yeah, they stay paid
But why pay over one buck when they look stinkin' on stage?
King of pop, Barry White, rollin' over in the grave
Jones Girls, "Emotion" sayin', "Girl, back in our day"
Dilla dude still bitin' (Word), they wish to be like you
Producer extraordinaires, knowin' them beats be recycled
But on your worst day, they couldn't mess with you (Never)
Cats makin' Ts in remembrance of you (Move)
Least they could do is give your fam a dime or two (Uh)
This man gave his heart, this what the fuck y'all do?
But yo, don't stress, my yout, word bond, we got you
Tell Baatin I said what up, word, he right next to you?
From NYC to the D, with heavy hearts, we miss you
Word God, wish you were here, so until we meet again, just
Dear Dilla, there's not a day that
Goes by that I don't think 'bout you
Dear Dilla, I keep my head to the sky 'cause I know Phife's there too
Dear Dilla, and when I get there, God
Willing, your music will move outer space
Dear Dilla, and y'all both left a mark 'cause no one takes your place
Dear Dilla
I'ma tell you, Dilla
D-Town, throw it up
You done know
Ma Dukes
V. Rich on the keys
My main man DJ Rasta Roots on the beat, on the cuts
Smokin' Needles
Riddim Kidz
Salute, ATCQ forever
Peace
Man, um, for, for a while
'Cause we not, we not just those do it and run type of dudes
Where we just gon' put anything out
We tryna put out somethin' classic
Somethin' you could hear ten years from now and be like
"Yo, that's that ish right there," you know what I mean?
So, we definitely takin' our time
Smokin' Needles is the label, independently ran
By both of us, you know what I mean?
So, we do it our way
Whether we move slow or whether we move quick
It's on us at the end of the day
