De La Soul | Lyrics | Pass the Plugs

(This time, put it in mellow)
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
(Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)

First P is passed, I am known as Posdnuos
Plug one to the whole race
Rhyme on a tour
Smart and much more

Dispatch I've stood themes with the mad face
Tall dark and lean
Was once nineteen
Now I'm one year older with reason

Clean thoughts and drawers
Rhyme flow never stalls
The yes, yes, yes, y'alls

Will end this season
The soul reached high plains
We didn't reach soul train
But don don't like rap

So that won't happen
Fame we don't lust
God we do trust
Arsenio dissed us

But the crowd kept clapping
Blessed with soul's lights
So turn off your brights

Overexposure will bring about a clear soul
Don't push, but piles
For this here new style
And excuse me y'all while I fill my potholes

Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
(Oh yeah)
Pass the peas like they used to say
(Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)

Passed off second
Tru, I reckon
Head full of dreads
But knowledge inside

Singin' on records, making it hectic
Wishing it all would fall and die
Radio works it, public consumes it
Tommy boy wants another say no, huh

Rough and rugged, it's not a new twist
Been trugoy since the first get go
Here's the daisy
Watching it die, see?

Native is the new like balance is the shoe
Paul makes a mil like dill makes pickles
Plus is to add like addin' to the crew is
Pimps promote us, rm's work us

Mp's watch us close in focus
Watch me steppin'
Now I'm dancing
Then disappear with a hocus pocus

Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
(Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)

(People in the place this is very hard to conceal)
(Zpos get funky)
(Check it out)

(People in the place this is very hard to conceal)
(Dove get funky)
(Check it out)

(People in the place this is very hard to conceal)
(Mase get funky)
(Check it out)

(People in the place this is very hard to conceal)
(Prince Paul get funky)
(Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)

(Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
(Yeah)
Pass the peas like they used to say
Pass the peas like they used to say
(Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)

Fourth P is passed, I am known as
(Prince Paul)
Yeah, thanks Mase
Applied like chapsticks
The songs are slapsticks

Skeezoids with Polaroids
Give me such a case
Trife or not trife
Don't own a wife

Yet I'm down and around for a good kiss
I got a 40 of Pepsi
A girl in bed-stuy
And I'll end it like this

(Will rise, not fall)
(Definition, prince Paul)
(Our mentor, don't be sore)
(When I say that's all)
