Down Syndrome
De La Soul

I be that mind blessin', blessin' these lessons we've ignited

Want to bring it to my face, man, you're cordially invited

'Cause I've cited, you possess no science in your thinking

So I'm gonna never, you're blinking


Fingers be pointin' and leakin' falsifyin' the stink

You think I'm pink, I blink with them shades of thought and think

And in this corner be the hush, so play on William Rhodes

'Cause at the sound of the bell my circle square controls

And all MC's best sweat, we bringin buckets of heat


So don't fret, kid, I let you lick the love I secrete, yo

Even my foes give me bravos and that shows

Total domination in this rhyme complication


Yeah, the skill is a cinch, I rock the womb with a mic

And in the days of the nickel and breast

I knew de yes yes y'allin was the callin, clearly not for the gat

For combat, I bring a bag of my rhymes for the SAT


I'm Plug one-of-a-kind, for you people's delight

And for you sucker MC's, step to your knees

Ain't no second thoughts and all your thoughts are from Orion

I can tell that you a devil by the rhymes you're designin'

Your play doggin' tactics, can't fuck with my facets

Just because you talk all that glock shit

Don't mean you can rock shit

Your identities on freeze

Just a form of protozoa tryin' to cross them seas


See high horse riders gettin' shot by the sheriff

'Cause nobody's safe for crimes

And even all you skirts need to checkin' in your upstairs attic

'Cause Mase is smackin' hoes, if hoes is startin' static


Now it ain't all good when your jam goes wood

So as a deterrent, I use mental current

Got them brothers shook, peep the look comin' out of the face

'Cause they all catch a bruise from the hits we make


Your fame and cars should be listed as magnets

Legends never die but they can get shot and killed

Ain't nuttin glitter when you're battlin' MC's

You once imitated in a mirror so to down syndrome, you kneel


The same status I heard, the same nothin'

My ears fears the faulty locks tryin' to lock down the stops

But I earn more than your Menudo or your Boyz II Men

While the syndrome keeps you immune to frequencies I send

Fresher than a sniff off havin' them J in fifth

I identify with your rhythm

But I exist for more than just a Benz, so mends

I'm cuttin' off my friends to keep a smile calicum iron grain


Let me tell you a little something about the self

Tell 'em, son

I be a piece of the East coast, so give a toast to

Plug Wonder why back in the day who soaked his words in jigga

So when I ran a phrase in June you didn't catch it 'til December

I'm a member of them kids from the inner city

Giving you kitties audible treats, you be aching for making

More money than a pagan holiday

Not from the PJ's, yet I still got something to say


Say what man? You gritty like a diamond grenade

For the cameo spot you tries to fool Parade

You acrobats flip the star gazin' map, for alla that

You'll be the first to place, and ran it all to a waste

And all the style that you bring gotta make decks bend

You gotta rip it from the start when the beats come in
