De La Soul - No lyrics
[Yummy]
 I never can say goodbye
 No no n-no I, never can say goodbye
 I, I don't know the rest
 [Posdonus]
 We those pros, we never procrastinate (ah)
 Them guardians they shouldn't let you get past the gate
 Watch out dawg, the watchdog's showin his teeth
 (Guess you bit too much shit) they bitin your beat
 While I speak from experience, hunger and hurt
 And a little bit of hate from niggaz doin me dirt
 I just wash it all out with Tide and show love
 to those who ride with me while I'm puttin in work
 [Butta Verses]
 Full-timin it, 8:30 to 6, the graveyard shift
 The three months before the benefits hit
 But my position went temp' to perm'
 I sat and listened like an intern watchin who applied get fired
 Now I'm sittin in the break room, they gotta make room (make room)
 My paper stacks, put staples through 'em
 So I can keep my money together
 Some die-hard fans just don't want it like, "Put Pos back on it"
 [Posdonus]
 I'm back on it, that's why you never disappointed
 We give you what we live through for real (for real)
 Don't own a crown but I'm royalty
 And tryin to see the royalty checks about a half a mil'
 Whether off or on the chart, my cuts grips your heart
 (You know we got you open) like your gut splits apart
 I never pass the buck, my shoulder holds the weights
 So don't beef when we don't pass collection plates
 [Butta Verses]
 I don't give money, I don't support the needy
 Schooled in America, taught to be greedy
 And everything ought to be, easy
 But I never could say goodbye to my friends who get high
 I wonder why, I'm rockin with that guy, it's serious
 Still make him cry when the satire's hilarious
 Cold for your areas, flows come in various shapes and sizes
 so hot that you despise it
 [Chorus: Dove] + (Yummy)
 Never last up to bat (no no no no)
 These skills we don't lack (no no no no)
 We never fall and pray (no no n-no no)
 Make all the ladies say (ooh ooh baby)
 You can't knock the hustle - not at all (no no no no)
 Can't be budged by your muscle (no no no no)De La Soul - No - http://motolyrics.com/de-la-soul/no-lyrics.html
 Never ridin on E (no no n-no no)
 It's De La and Butta V (drive you crazy)
 [Posdonus]
 Yo, if you are what you eat; some of you
 cats heads between your girl's legs a lot cause y'all act too sweet
 (Go brush your teeth!) Then after that
 Put in a little more practice on your rhymin attack
 What you write's not the least bit hot
 Maybe cause your wrist is so cold from all that ice you cop
 Hate to hate a playa but you know what?
 I still smother ya like cheese and rockin leaves freshly cut
 [Butta Verses]
 And we the steak and potatoes and De La's the greatest
 And ladies be on the floor thankin the Lord that He made us
 I'm tellin you, I swoop her like a pelican do
 You sayin - look at that pelican fly; you spittin gelatin rhymes
 They shaky as shit, ugly in the mold you fit
 We the square peg on the round hole, sound's soulful
 Your imitation flavor is tofu
 It's true we make our bed all day, and we are..
 [Posdonus]
 .. the world of rap! Take you back
 in the days of all four hundred ways that people lack
 It's that (what) authentic, big-nosed mic music
 Four to five survive all night to it
 I'm tryin to keep up with my Jones' and Thomas'
 'til I'm broke like them New Year's Eve promises
 And that's alright, I just penned another sixteen
 to fill my bank account with the mixed greens
 [Butta Verses]
 Moms want 5's and 10's
 The girls I got is 9's and 10's, VH1 "Behind The Pens"
 You anticipate greatness from elder statesmen
 I ch-ch-ch-AHH, like Biz Mark' or Jason
 I bust one shot just to start the racing
 The tortoise and the hare, which one there is chasin?
 Slow and steady, we already Andretti
 Get ticket take parades, waves and confetti and..
[Chorus] w/ minor variations
[Pos] Come on y'all
 [Yummy: repeat 4X]
 If the Soul keeps rockin, the streets will keep rockin
 If the streets keep rockin, the Soul will keep rockin
 If the streets stop rockin, the Soul will keep rockin
 If the Soul keeps rockin, the streets will keep rockin
