Two times for the drummer 'fore I start it I say
"Hit me!" 
Puba's kickin' flavor, and I brought somebody with me 

Positive, the gentlemen, the rapper 
Suave, blase, you know dapper 

See this is not a song about friends 
Because we make the ends, and then we spread the skins 

This song becomes a well known tune 
And my mic's gonna bloom like a flower in June 

We kick much flavor, and you know that 
As smooth as the head on a Fed named Kojak 

Grip the mic till my hand get calloused 
And I'll tell you like Ralph Kramden told Alice
"Bang, zoom!" 

It's up, up and away 

Grand Puba 

And Positive K 

Lyrics real sweet like candy 

It's just like a condom 

We keep one handy! 
Go Puba, go Positive
Go Puba, go Positive
Go Puba, go Positive
Go Puba, go Positive

To my adversaries, I'm not ordinary 
Not the Godfather, or the Tooth Fairy 
Not Jack Spade or Engelbert Humperdink 
Listen to this rhyme, and tell us what you think 

One, two, three, Grand Puba's on the count 
Rhyming gets me papes in very large amount 
Brother, you're wrong if you think crime pays 
Don't like gays, and take vacations overs holidays 

Practice safe sex to prevent strange diseases 
Wear my hat, on one night skeezers 
I roll dice, but don't bet on the horses 
Punks take losses, and I don't reveal my sources 

So, um, take the fifth if you're planning to riff 
The rhymes spread like Jiff to make your loose knot stiff 
Kick up your feet if you're feeling kinda queasy
Relax, (ha ha) take it easy! 

You're in good hands, Positive is a survivor 
I make rhymes of anything; I'm like McGuyver 
If I were a computer, rap would be my program 
Since I'm a righteous man, I don't eat ham 
I wish more people was alive like me 

But Positive

What up, Max? 

See, the vocab is lovely, girls be thinkin' of me 
Other rappers try to be me, competition can't see me 
So, hey, whaddaya say? I got the flow, y'all 
If you don't know the time, then you better check the Seiko 
Or Timex, I suplex, get biz on the cossacks 
Put 'em in a line then I ask, "Who's next?" 
Grand Puba, guaranteed to make a big hit 
Doin' much damage on this two-man skit 
Trying to hold me back won't harm me 
And when the gear gets too small, it's for the Salvation Army 
So mommy, or mida, away I say, "No one's sweeter!" 
(Now, that's funky!) 
You see, the style I kick is rugged, I shine like a nugget 
Present tense mean you dig it, past tense mean you dug it!
So dance to a light tune, my little doll 
Da-nah-nah, da-nah-nah, da-nah-nah, dah 
Rock me wit' vibration 
Give me a deep meditation 
There is none betta than Grand Puba 
Baby be get it all togetha
You see the second time around 
I hope the label don't flake 
And if they do, I go to Drake and say, "Give me a break." 
Like Toyota say, I say (Oh, what a feeling) 
I bust the foots of Lionel Richie 
I caught him dancing on my ceiling

Pass me the mic 'cause I wants to blitz 
I'm the best thing that came since grits 
The Prince of Rap, lookin' for Cinderella 
If you see her, why don't you tell her
I got the shoe in the car out back?
And if she makes the fit, she's in like that 
And as a matter of fact 
I'm not an actor, but the main factor 
Pinpoint and his rhymes is like a protractor 
I'm intricated, complicated
Definitely musically related 
Rhymes so fly, never been outdated 
Gots to be fly by the way I state it 
Now, of myself, I say I'm a big fan 
Got more rhymes than words by the Letterman 
Positive K, you can say he's low key 
You might know my name, but, now, look you don't know me 
I can be nice and flip like the Son of Sam 
Nobody knows exactly how I am 
I'm the next, and everybody knows it 
Open tours this year, next year I'm a close it 
I've got the skills that pays the bills, now 
Here's a quote from Stephanie Mills 
Don't put a rush on me 'cause my tempo's slow 
And if I don't tell you, then how would you know?
