Make the bass come out so clearMake the bass come out so clearThis song does not contain explicit lyricsBut what it does contain is an undesired elementThis element is known as the BaseheadThe lowest of lowest of all elements that existAnd the sad thing is, this particular element is me bruddaBrother, brother oh brother of mineWe used to be down as partners in crimeFrom our parents our name was forgedI was the Beaver, you Curious GeorgeWanted to dispose of this and thatBut curiosity had killed the catAt this age no wonder it was readBut this was the fate that you were fedThroughout high school our minds we'd wasteHigh off all the cheeba that we could tasteSoon you had converted to nasal sportsEvery five minutes cocaine you'd snortTold me that you needed a stronger fixStepped to the crack scene in 86Unlike the other drugs you had controlThis substance had engulfed your body and soulNow from me you lost all respectSaid you need to put that shit in checkWanted me to believe that you ain't triedBut your mind and the craving had coincidedSaid there was a voice I could've talkedWhich said you shouldn't stop but continue to walkNow the brother who could handle any drugHad just found the one that could pull his PlugYo, bro, got another rock for your hiking bootsGonna make you scream and loop three loopsGonna take you far on a freeway, okayRemember that day? Slipped me a smile for a 20 crack vialGuess what? Time to collect, correctDon't have a dime? It's payback time, payback timeDon't cry the blues 'cause I got bad newsShould I stab ya? Should I bite ya? Should I use my tools?No, I got another way to earn my defeat(Slam the child on the hard concrete)Make the bass come out so clearMake the bass come out so clearMake the bass come out so clearMake the bass come out, make the bass come outMake the bass come out so clearMake the bass come out so clearMake the bass come out so clearMake the bass come out, make the bass come outBrother, brother, stupid brother of mineStarted getting high at the age of nineNow at twenty-one you're lower than lowNowhere to turn, nowhere to goMy dividends and wares started to disappearWhere it ended up, I had an ideaBarking you with the quickness, reversed intentInstead went to Pop and gave him the printNow Pop grew tired of being a mouseFinally told you to get the hell outta the houseFrom there a mother figure came into playClaimed for you she saw a better dayNow Mom was a product of Christ's rebirthThought the only chance was to go to churchQuitting this stuff you had tried beforeThis time you claimed you'd really scoreSomething I had to see to believePut on my suit and to church I weavedMy, my, my, what happened to the people?The people who used to care about what took place in the world today?I've been summoned here today to reach the peopleWho still can be reached, to save the people who still can be savedCan I get an Amen? Can I get an Amen?Hit me, forgive us, said it's taking over, taking over the worldAll it's doing is taking over, where them crackers at?Them crackers that they serve, where they at?Bullshit, didn't believe a lickDo this fool [Incomprehensible]Then I gave you the benefit of a doubtWanted to see if you will work it outSoon you reach your front of calmWalked round by rehearsing psalmsThen you smiled with the funky frownWhat do you know, the voice is back in townMom would say it would soon go awayYou and I knew it was here to stayBut the man helped you when you helped yourselfThat meant going to rehab for your healthFinally it went and blew your corkHeard you moved to the comfortable streets of New YorkAnd when my friends see me and come and askYo, where's your brother at?, I'll be the first to splashYo, he's a BaseheadYo know who that was?NoThe guy from De La Soul, Pos. PosdnuosWho?You heard of De La Soul, right?RightWell he was the one from De La SoulThe one with the real nappy hairThe one with the dark-skinned oneWith the glasses? YeahYeah, the ugly oneFuck you bitch and kept goin'
