Call me G*Natural, when I'm on the mic, it's the place to be, cause everytime I
Grab the mic, I gotta keep it 97 plus 3, so lemme get this
Off my chest, a topic important that I gotsta mention, cause everytime I
Grab the mic and rock it, it's the thing that grabs your attention, here's some clues
Michael Jackson did this, in the title of a hit song, and not to
Do this to a dead horse, but the Whispers said and it just goes on
The Bangles told me they all had it, the Grizzlies made him their 2nd draft pick
The word is a synonym for rhythm in a track, but it's getting away, we gotta bring it back
I don't mind the fusion of hip-hop with R&B
But way too many producers are doing this and I think it's a tragedy, you wouldn't make no
Automobile with an audible wheel and then forget the driver's seat, so how you gonna
Make a rap and then create a track with no discernable beat? C'mon now!
Is it really that hard? I know how, to make a drum track move with a low growl
Toss in a few jokes kinda lowbrow, without murdering the beat, Nicole Brown
Oh wow, maybe that line just caught you by surprise, but that's what it's
Like to be jonesing for a good beat, but the song is like "DENIED"
Why you cut the beat out? I thought this was supposed to be a hip-hop joint
Please don't cut the beat out, listening to a banging beat, that's half the point
If you cut the beat out, I can feel the void from my ears into my brain
And I won't say another rhyme, until you bring the beat back in again
BRING THE BEAT BACK, BRING THE BEAT BACK
BRING THE BEAT BACK HOMIE, BRING THE BEAT BACK
BRING THE BEAT BACK, BRING THE BEAT BACK
BRING THE BEAT BACK PLAYA, BRING THE BEAT BACK
When I was a young man, 40s were a strong drink that'll get you lifted
Now that I'm in my 40s, the new rap's got me feelin' antagonistic
Don't get me wrong, I know it's artistic, but when you take the beat out, I miss it
It's like, what are you, sadistic? I hope my mind will change, but I'm not optimistic
So all you hip-hop producers, don't do me like that
And if you take out the beat, then put it right back
You've got control keep it going, otherwise the flow you're deploying will
Not sound dope, but mostly annoying
It's like you're in bed and you get a meddlesome knock at the door, or like you're
At the zoo, the lion says to you, "I'm not gonna roar," because a
Brotha like me is always gonna be hip-hop to the core, and so a
Rap without a beat is cool but it's not hip-hop anymore, so please
Go back to the track and just edit... Edit... Edit ...
Otherwise you're showing me that you just don't get it... get it... get it... I bet it's
Unintentional, but an accident, to put rap on a track that's lacking it
You call that hip-hop, it's inaccurate, there is a matter of the beat you gotta factor in, and ride
It like a tractor in the back green... Jump on it like trampoline, or bite
In like a nectarine in a fruit salad, get a taste of a new palate
Cause it's valid that the beat's stacked like a pallet jack, or a horse that'll gallop back
To the man in a famous scene, was I born with it, or is it Maybelline?
So if you're able lean to the side, throw ya hands up, and make a scene
Cause when I spit fire on the track, I burn the mic, the clip, and the cabling, I'm
Cold hearted, all my rap dreams have dearly departed, so all that I ask is
Please keep the beat on the track, and all that mumble rap?
DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED
Why you cut the beat out? I thought this was supposed to be a hip-hop joint
Please don't cut the beat out, listening to a banging beat, that's half the point
If you cut the beat out, I can feel the void from my ears into my brain
And I won't say another rhyme, until you bring the beat back in again
BRING THE BEAT BACK, BRING THE BEAT BACK
BRING THE BEAT BACK HOMIE, BRING THE BEAT BACK
BRING THE BEAT BACK, BRING THE BEAT BACK
BRING THE BEAT BACK PLAYA, BRING THE BEAT BACK
