Another level,
is that what you're doing,
is that a...
Yeah, I'm loungin',
I got my man Donald Burns
on the hook.
I wanna give a big shout out
to my little man
Nico, he's two years old.
He's away visitin' his grandmas,
but I miss him dearly.
If I rhyme this,
you will find this situation
shall advance.
You could take a glance or dance.
Elevated lyrics to arouse a crowd.
Now tell me who's the man
to show you how.
Many legacies of brothers who get busy
And I do it fluid till the suckers get dizzy
Saying peace to the Blackbirds,
125th Street
And check the flow that's unique
For lounging, lounging, lounging
Mellow out and just lounging
Lounging, lounging
Mellow out and just lounging
Can't refuse this, never lose this
It's the choicest
cause my voice is the smoothest
Dominating to your voice
cause I've been around doing work
And so have tons of other jerk
dollar bird word on the track
quite exact giving you the format jack
See we gotta pave the way
and display how to lounge
The pioneers but I gotta try and clear
My throat, check out what I wrote
You can't tap into this
unless you know the roots
Word shoot, like life absolute for real
So now you got to know the deal
For lounging, just lounging
Mellow out and just lounging
Lounging, lounging
Mellow out, check it out and lounging
Lounge here,
Lounge here, Malloral,
I just lounge here,
Lounge here,
Lounge here,
East to Brooklyn where I live, where I live,
Realistic, kind of mystic,
when I kick this,
you should witness the slickness,
Of the horn player and
the dope rhymesayer,
Quite emotional and inspirational
Philosophical and yes, very logical
Cheechie use a method for
lounging
Everybody knows they have times
when they wanna just lay back
Kick their feet up, you know
Listen to some good music
And just lounge
That's right I said lounge, I said lounge
This rap is a part of the whole
black experience,
that when you, like you said,
when you wrapped up and frustrated
you got all this inside
it's going to come out
and regardless of what people think
and what what you're talking about now
the reason why this music is so great
and everybody wants to do it
because what it's a living music
and what it's giving the people a chance
to express themselves like yourself
you got something to say
you want to get it out
and this is not Just lyrics.
You're talking about literature.
You're talking about saying,
giving a message to people.
And that's what it is,
and you can't suppress that.
And that regardless if they don't
play it on the radio,
or they don't do it like that,
it's still gonna be heard.
I mean, there's a network.
It's both jazz and rap,
but there's been times in
both of the eras of music
that the industry tried to change it
from its classical roots.
See, like, we're the type
of rap group,
when we rock shows,
we rock shows,
we don't use dats.
Just because dats came out,
all the groups wanna use dats now.
No more turntable, boy.
If the DJ's up there,
he's not really doing nothing.
You know, he's just scratching over,
over the, uh, the deck.
And, uh, basically what we do
is press up instrumental tracks
to everything we do.
Because when rap started,
rap started with...
What they did was,
which was so ingenious,
was to create a whole form
of urban -style music
from just two turntables
and two records and a mic.
