What It Be Like

This be for the hard-core O.G. real funk fans
 The ones that pumpin' up the party, jump and shake your hands
 And let your joint blaze smoke up and get a little higher
 If the cherry goes out then relight the fire
 Pump it up and do this swing for mine baby
 Ives in the party y'all time to get crazy
 Swing it left, swing it right, swing it back and to the front ha
 No takin' or the fakin' cause we givin' what you want ha
 Pure bread born and raised the underground system
 My recipes so ill you'll think I'm crazy if I list 'em
 So I choose to freak it from the dawn till the light
 To let you listen' hard to what it be like
 What it be like, tell me what it be like
 What it really be like, what it really be like
 What it, what it be like, tell me what it be like
 Do you know what it be like 'cause I know what it be like
 What it be like, tell me what it be like
 What it really be like, what it really be like
 What it, what it be like, tell me what it be like
 Do you know what it be like 'cause I know what it be like
 I'm steppin' up back up straight up so delinquente
 You won't be saying shit after I sock you in the frente
 So what's it gonna be sucka what it be like?
 As I descend from the trend every muthafuckin' night
 And so I gotta keep the rhymes kinda funky you know
 I'm still rollin' in the jacked up chevy '64
 You need to ease back sucka you need to pipe down
 Delinquent type of hound is what you're gettin' from the realm
 When I'm steppin' through the fog my dogs are kinda fatal
 I'll swat you like a fly that's on my kitchen table
 If another day ends still a new dawn breaks
 And once again I'm droppin' shit upon this 2 inch tape
 What it be like, tell me what it be like
 What it really be like, what it really be like
 What it, what it be like, tell me what it be like
 Do you know what it be like 'cause I know what it be like
 What it be like, tell me what it be like
 What it really be like, what it really be like
 What it, what it be like, tell me what it be like
 Do you know what it be like 'cause I know what it be like
 See this be like discussion of the facts over hip-hop chords
 The lower east side allow me kick the funk no fraud
 See it's the third time for the ives my news flash
 No matter what I'm still gonna be the poor white trash
 Diggin' up and out the ghetto, hard raised and rockin'
 From back spinnin' from freakin' the beat and pop lockin'
 From early days I'm steppin' to the battle like a vulture
 It's all just a part of the hip-hop culture
 What it be like, tell me what it be like
 What it really be like, what it really be like
 What it, what it be like, tell me what it be like
 Do you know what it be like 'cause I know what it be like
 What it be like, tell me what it be like
 What it really be like, what it really be like
 What it, what it be like, tell me what it be like
 Do you know what it be like 'cause I know what it be like
