Brakes - De La Soul
There's a lot of people out here Who just don't know What plays a factor In movin' heads and toes It be them hits Hangin' out of them stereo kits Whether cassette radio or cd bits Mix tapes from the best Going on and on Throughout the city grounds To suburban lawns Man we don't play Even where we stay Videos shows the visuals Of jams today Coinciding with the rhythm Of the heart and neck The brakes got you In your proper context You let your lex or your Sixty-four suspension Bounce away all your tension En route to the club Where girls need the quenchin' Diamonds on your wrist Sunroof top But niggas out front Makin' guns go pop So the spot gets shut But on to the next 'Cause your ears get vexed When they don't get the fix cause [These are the brakes] It be your listenin pleasure While you're doin your chores [These are the brakes] No matter where you from It's for you and yours [These are the brakes] Bringing it back to the brakes Like the 'yes yes y'all' [These are the brakes] So let it be your anthem When you're havin' a ball Well it's silly of me To think that I Would never get a chance to see A piece of this pie I sat dead in front of speakers Thinkin' that could be me Anticipatin' open microphones So I could emcee Had a catalogue of raps Impressin' all the 'round-the-wayers Before I went to bed Included rhymes into my prayers But that rhyme
