IN THA SOUTH
Speech
In the south is where it’s at / crazy phat weather no leather needed on yo back / perfect for a ride outside / hop in the drop top / pop in the hip hop tape and marinate in the sun / speakin’ of sun there’s only one and nine months outta twelve / can U guess where it dwells in the south / parks literally breathe like a mouth / and at night kids go out / the little ones go in and pout / cuz they gotta go to bed / cuz in the south in is dead and out is alive / so everyone strives to keep it outside! / D.J.s play in the streets bumpin’ beats and sellin’ mix tapes of all the greats / women is rentin’ roller skates / ice cream and soul plates fill the hands of this land / cats caravan and just drive around bumpin’ sounds / pound for pound / the south’s where everyone gets down / c’mon . . .
Chorus
In the south / we can take you all around / and everywhere you go / we got these funky sounds / in the south
Eshe
Cadillacs, Pontiacs, Benzs, and BMWs / Impalas and Cutlass / you can’t touch as when we cruise /
Speech
Yo I set a mood like a dimmer / guess who’s coming over to eat cornbread and collard greens and hot sauce for dinner / I don’t hang around the scene but that don’t mean that I’m not in the scene / I’m just doin’ somethin’ / cuz I refuse to cuss it don’t mean that I’m frontin’ / I be the first to bum rush your whole dinner or luncheon
In the south baby!
