| This is a story about— |
| Yeah, yeah |
| Turn it up a lil bit |
| Yeah, just a lil bit (Alright, man) |
| One time, it's all you, right now |
| (The— the— the music) |
| One time |
| (The— the— the music) |
| One time for chapter one |
| (The— the— the music) |
| (The— the— the music) |
| Right, turn it up some |
| (The— the— the music) |
| Uh-huh, you know that's— (The— the— the music) |
| Uh-huh, how we gon' do it? |
|
| Money and sex and drugs and violence |
| And ice and dubs |
| And mics and love and beats and rhyme |
| And, every single time |
| I try to tell you, but you never listen to the rhyme and |
| Love and romance |
| Hip hop don't stop |
| When I'm on the microphone, I try to take it to the top |
| Overpriced ice and overpriced whips |
| It seems like they're hearing, but nobody listening |
| Unless it's on MTV, BT or |
|
| Dosier got rhymes, forget about those silly hoes |
| Money and sex and violence and drugs and guns and ice and dubs and thugs |
| It's got to be more than just cornrows and braids and the names on the back of |
| your throwback |
| Dosier is the name and I think that it is so wack |
| That nowadays people bite on the mic and get props on the mic |
| And they know that ain't right and forget about (The music) |
|
| (The— the— the music) |
| (The— the— the music) |
| (The— the— the music) |
| (The— the— the— the— the— the music) |
| (The— the— the music) |
|
| Yo |
| People talk and complain, do not want to change (The— the— the music) |
| Everything is the same |
| Always want to get over, wanna pull my chain |
| Carry some insurance 'cause you wanna pull my chain |
| Show mix with business, that's oil mixed with rain |
| A slick road ahead, there's love with the pain |
| Family could be tight until someone wants to gain |
| Man, it's a shame |
| Now they lookin' at me like an outsider |
| Pharcyder rider, one live wire |
| Get ready for another all-nighter |
| Who got the fire when we need a lighter? |
| Dosier get you higher than Isaiah Rider |
| Once you hit then take a hit then |
| Hold it in and close your eyes then exhale slow through your nose then ride |
|
| Money and sex and drugs and violence and ice and dubs and mics and love And |
| money and sex and drugs and violence and ice and dubs and mics and love |
| And money and sex and drugs and violence and ice and dubs and mics and love |
| And money and sex and drugs and violence and ice and dubs and mics and love and |
| beats and rhyme |
|
| And every single time |
| I try to tell you, but you never listen to the rhyme and love and romance, |
| hip-hop |
| Yeah, the streets do watch and they do get hot |
| But they don't know, we smashin' they flow |
| 'Cause they get up on the microphone and act like a fashion show |
| I don't care whose name you got on the back of your jeans |
| Your shit ain't hot, Pharcyde been OG since the day we drop |
| Some make it to the summit, some plain-out flop |
| Pull me over to the side and we can chop underground to pop |
| We have not forgot about the— (The music) |
| We won't forget about the— (The music) |
| (The— the— the music) |
|
| Pay homagin' |
| Pay respect to the— (The music) —the great performers of yesterday (The— the— |
| the music) that paved the way |
| So we may be able to do our thing today |
| From slave ships to spaceships |
| From guitars to ASRs |
| Drum machines to drum kicks, back to drum machines, back to kicks |
| We've seen it all |
| Ain't nothing new under the sun |
| Yes, yes, y'all |
