[00:09.54]Hey, hey, hey, hey
[00:11.82]Hey, hey, hey, hey
[00:14.28]Hey, hey, hey, hey
[00:19.28]Riddle me this, my brother, can you handle it?
[00:21.00]Your style to my style, you can’t hold a candle to it
[00:23.44]Equinox symmetry and the balance is right
[00:25.90]Smokin’ and drinking on a tuesday night
[00:28.17]It’s not how you play the game, it’s how you win it
[00:30.77]I cheat and steal and sin, and I’m a cynic
[00:33.37]For those about to rock, we salute you
[00:35.48]The dirty thoughts for dirty minds we contribute to
[00:37.53]I once was lost, but now I’m found
[00:39.90]The music washes over, and you’re one with the sound
[00:42.43]Well, who shall inherit the earth? the meek shall
[00:44.90]And, yo, I think I’m starting to peak now, Al
[00:47.42]And then the man upstairs, well, I hope that he cares
[00:49.53]If I had a penny for my thoughts, I’d be a millionaire
[00:51.84]We’re just three emcees, and we’re on the go
[00:54.24]Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego
[00:57.21]Shadrach, Mesach, Abednago
[00:59.46]Shadrach, Mesach, Abednago
[01:01.68]Shadrach, Mesach, Abednago
[01:04.06]Shadrach, Mesach, Abednago
[01:06.80]Hey hey hey hey
[01:16.07]Only twenty-four hours in a day
[01:18.25]Only twelve notes, well, a man can play
[01:20.88]Music for all, but not just one people
[01:23.24]And now we’re gonna bust with the Putney Swope sequel
[01:25.72]More Adidas sneakers than a plumber’s got pliers
[01:28.02]Got more suits than Jacoby & Meyers (wow)
[01:30.58]If not for my vices, and my bugged out desires
[01:32.97]My year would be good just like Goodyear’s tires
[01:35.15]’Cause I’m out picking pockets at the Atlantic antic
[01:37.46]And nobody wants to hear you because your rhymes are damn frantic
[01:39.95]I mix business and pleasure way too much
[01:42.34]You know, wine and women and song and such
[01:44.71]I don’t get blue, I got a mean red streak
[01:47.06]You don’t pay the band, your friends, yo, that’s weak
[01:49.21]Get even like Steven (even) like pulling a Rambo
[01:51.58]Well, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego (you know)
[01:54.23]Shadrach, Mesach, Abednago
[01:56.48]Shadrach, Mesach, Abednago
[01:58.81]Shadrach, Mesach, Abednago
[02:01.44]Shadrach, Mesach, Abednago
[02:03.82]Hey hey hey hey
[02:13.11]Steal from the rich, and I’m out robbing banks
[02:15.66]Givin’ to the poor, and I always give thanks
[02:17.96]Because I’ve got more stories than J.D.’s got Salinger
[02:20.35]I hold the title, and you are the challenger
[02:22.71]I’ve got money like Charles Dickens
[02:25.47]I’ve got the girlies in the coupe like the Colonel’s got the chickens
[02:27.32]And I’m always going out dapper like Harry S. Truman
[02:29.79]I’m madder than Mad’s Alfred E. Newman
[02:36.64]Oh, never gonna let them say that I don’t love you
[02:42.03]Shadrach, Mesach, Abednago
[02:44.27]Shadrach, Mesach, Abednago
[02:45.79]Well, my noggin is hoggin’ all kinds of thoughts
[02:48.41]And Adam Yoggin is yauch, and he’s rockin’ of course, wow
[02:51.31]Smoke the holy chalice, got my own religion
[02:53.42]Rally round the stage and check the funky dope musicians
[02:56.02]Like Jerry Lee Swaggart or Jerry Lee Falwell
[02:57.91]You love Mario Andretti cause he always drives his car well
[03:00.70]Vicious circle of reality since the day you were born
[03:02.76]And we love the hot butter (say what?) the popcorn
[03:05.16]Sippin’ on wine and mackin’
[03:07.75]Rockin’ on the stage with all the hands clappin’ (yeah)
[03:09.91]Ride the wave of fate, it don’t ride me, Homes
[03:12.38]Being very proud to be an emcee
[03:14.91]And then the man upstairs, well, I hope that he cares
[03:17.12]If I had a penny for my thoughts, I’d be a millionaire
[03:19.44]Amps and crossovers under my rear hood
[03:22.14]Because the bass is bumping from the back of my fleetwood
[03:24.61]They tell us what to do? hell no
[03:26.85]Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego
[03:29.58]Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego
