yomo & maulkie - mockingbird lyrics

(you’re ready?)
(yeah!)

gimme some b-ss

[radio reporter]
we have here the members of the group yomo & markie
and they’ll be speaking on r&b selling out to rap
i’m leslie burell
and we’ll be right back after these messages on k-dis

[verse 1: yomo]
down here in the ghetto there’s a new 33
shakin and fakin, and just takin
corrupt, and twist around
a sound that the ghetto found
it’s time to step down
r&b usin r-a-p to make cabbage
on the average i gotta start static
can’t sit back, lounge and watch them get paid
probably with a style i played
sittin atop the highest limb on the loom
boom! – while i’m in a man-made tomb
but litte did they know that the axe was sharp, y’all
and maulkie on the creep with a chainsaw
set the trap to shake this thang loose
now on bruise, tighten up the noose
tryin to survive as mainstream is bull
playin thick and strong, but can’t pull
i ain’t goin for it, i ain’t even
get a nudge to budge till it’s leavin
flyin south for a long–ss winter
stayin south, cause i ain’t the beginner
the old soft tale trick ain’t real
this is a plot to k!ll
a mockingbird

[radio reporter]
so mr. yomo, what do you have to say about r&b sellin out to rap?
[yomo]
well, you know, we really don’t appreciate r&b taking…
[radio reporter]
wait a minute, we’ll be right back after these messages…

[verse 2: maulkie]
i heard there’s a bird that been shakin and schemin
and for a style been fiendin
it’s a pree that’s known as r&b
and the hunter is a brother named maulkie
as i scope i peep what they doin
tryin to speed my process, and ruin
an artform that they claim is a trend
remember this when you hear my record spin
i ain’t a token, flingin a verse or two
yo, they just wanna exploit you
it’s a shame that it’s black against black
now i know where my people’s head is at
stations, claim they’re hip-hoppin
i tune in, the rhymes ain’t droppin
but it’s cool when a singer plays a rap
check it, maulkie can’t dig that
sell out, h-ll no, i won’t go r&b
i let the r&b come to me
my angle’s laid, amplified to be heard
what it’s to k!ll a mockingbird

[radio reporter]
the public would like to know, mr. markie
why are you two attacking r&b?
[maulkie]
well, we feel it’s exploitation of a rare artform, and we are just like…
[radio reporter]
now tell us, what does ‘mockingbird’ really mean?
[maulkie]
well if you just let me answer the question…
[engineer]
cut take 5

[verse 3]
[yomo]
now r&b done straight took thangs to the max
singing over hip-hop tracks
mockingbird, shockin birds, rockin birds
gimme the lane, i start clock and verge
clippin your wings
straight clippin your wildest dreams
yeah, that’s my theme
now everybody wants a little nest-egg
how you get a nest-egg without a litte nest?
guess
most of my brothers are like illegal
can’t compare a mockingbird with an eagle
that’s what i am when it comes to them and me
that goes the same for maulkie
[ maulkie ]
the bird is in the air, and he’s hard to hit
infrared on the brain, i gotta get with him
as he dumps on you and the industry
n0body cares, it seems, but the styler
on a mission, me, myself and yo
the suckers gotta go
gold records and things don’t get me off
i get off by schoolin suckers that’s soft
ruthless does the retailin
like marley and tosh, we’re just wailin
when we attack, the pigeon plays dumb
so run, little mockingbird, run

[radio reporter]
one last question: what’s in the future for the both of you?
[maulkie]
well, in the future for both of us, hopefully we’ll be doin some tourin…
[radio reporter]
anyway –
[yomo]
now wait a d-mn minute, what the h-ll you mean: ‘anyway’?!
we ain’t answered a question from the get-go!
[radio reporter]
but –
[maulkie]
but this!
[scuffle]
[yomo]
…get em, mark, get, get…
yeah, we takin over the station
yella, kick it
