Feel The Vibe - Diamond

featuring Showbiz 

Feel the vibe (Repeat 7x) 

[Diamond] 
Feel the vibe  everybody gather round 
I pull the plug  still my sound's profound 
I had to take hip hop back to the essence 
Try to go commercial  gotta learn a lesson 
You gotta get your fingers dusty (word) 
And keep your ear to the street so you won't get rusty 
Concentrate on the funk vibe (Funk vibe) 
Learn your roots  put on your Timberland boots 
I'm true to my art, I never fake a move 
I keep your head bobbing to the psychotic groove 
I vibe is erotic, contagious, and sporotic 
I love beats so much I'm damn near neurotic 
I shoot the gift like a Mack 10 
And sample beats we used to cut way back then 
But now the game has changed 
Artist selling out just to make a name 
The underground hip-hop fans can't stand it 
So play like Chuck Connors, because now you're branded a sellout 
So yo, get the hell out 
We took a dive because you couldn't feel the vibe 

Is this the vibe you desire? (Diamond running down the line) 
Is this the vibe you desire? (You know you're on time) 
Well let me continue with what's on the menu 
I dug in the crate (Now it's time to get the papes) (Repeat 2x)

You know I feel the vibe, my name is Show B-I-Z 
I used to cut at jams when I was 4 foot 3 
Early in the morning listen to beats 
And back then I was the shorty (With the Nikes on his feet) 
Back to a brother who sold out (Did he?) 
He aimed for a name and some fame without any doubt 
He was my man so he let me hear a taste 
But he dissed his face because the shit ain't have no bass 
His beats was clogged, he needed Liquid Plumber 
Damn I wonder why he sound like Donna Summers
