Straighten It Out - Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth

Uh  yeah. Uh huh. 
We got Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth 
And we're here to tell you to... 
And that's a fact  baby 
Now you're gonna kick some lyrics

Cuz if they got mine, they got yours too 
But together here's what we gotta do

You got to...straighten it out 
Everybody must...straighten it out (say what?) 
Straighten it out...yeah 
Straighten it out...it's like that (say what?) 

The funk legacy I pass on, clearancy for high rates 
Every time we sample all the past time greats 
Stick it in the SP-1200 beat, I make a loop 
Lovely, where the Troop in a Lexus coupe 
Just a little bit, set to make a whole lot happen 
The musical inside my rappin' 
Written by the C.L., produced by the P.R. 
And add in any credit that you heard thus far 
I start from scr
