Peas Porridge Hot
De La Soul

Yo, gee, yo, word up, gee, man

Yo, man you heard about that club called the Donut Hill, B?

Yeah, man, I heard it's kinda fly, man

Yo man, Rakim and De La be up there all the time


Word up, yo, De La? Yo, those punk kids, man?

They ain't punks, man, yo man, those kids are wack man

Straight up booty, wack, yo but, yo, that Buddy

That was kind of fly, man and Potholes?, Slammin', Slammin'


Yeah, it was, word up, yo it was but forget that man, after they

(Pease porridge in the pot)

Came out with 'Plug One, Plug Two' then 'Potholes', yo

(Pease porridge in the pot)


Then they fell of with the brothers, yes they did man, yo, they were

(Pease porridge in the pot)

Straight up pop, man, I'm telling you, forget them faggots

(Nine days old )


Yo check it out, though, WRMS is throwin' a party at the club

(Pease porridge in the pot)

Though, man, yo I bet you they'll be there

(Pease porridge in the pot)


Yeah, all right, so let the brothers show up, man, let them brothers

(Pease porridge in the pot)

Show up and get cold jacked when the leaders run up on them

(Nine days old )


My name, my name, my name is the Pasta

Now I like, I like I like to plug the real thing

So loose, so loose, so loose with the tap dance

The funk, the funk, funky, funky stuff I bring


My tribe, my tribe, my tribe is known as Native Tongues

Consists, consists, consists of Jungle, Quest and others

Get played, get played, played a lot on radio

And also and also and also by some foul brothers


The pease, the pease the pease porridge never failed

It kept, it kept us calm, our stylin' merry

But late but lately loonies actin' real bold

Can't sip in luxury, my apple cranberry


Girls watch and watch and watch I dance the big tut

Our home, our home our homeboys has to plan tricks

Don't real, don't real, don't realize the Native Tongue

Is rollin' strong and we're startin' in the mega mix


Yo, Miss Thing, yo Merissa, what's up?

You heard what happened at the Donut Hill the other night?

Yo I was there and those De La kids was fightin'

Yo they was wildin', word man?


Word, the whole thing happened in front of my face, yo, they was on

The dance floor, right, some kid stepped up to

Them and said somethin' about hippies, then punks

And the chubby one, Plug Three?


Yeah, Plug Three, yeah I know him

All right, Plug Three, all right, he walked up to this kid, hit him

Real quick, think he didn't when he did and then them

Other kids the Jungle Brothers and Quest and, um, what's the other


Ones, the other ones? The Violators

The Violators, right, right, throwin' chairs and they didn't care

Who they was hittin', you think they wasn't?

Yeah, I know, I thought it was supposed to be about peace signs

Things like that, you know


Question, and that's if only I can ask this question

Can I? Yes you can

Why do people think just because we speak peace

We can't blow no joints? I-I-I don't know


Mase, this is the ninth day I've reheated this porridge

You know it keeps me peacefully, no?

Yeah but my tolerance level has now peaked

And now it's time for some heads to get flown


We bring, we bring, we bring, we bring the peace of course

But pack a nine inside, inside my De La drawers

A picture, picture, picture, picture painted pink

Could turn to red, to red, to red in blooded quick


But in a single file my Native Tongue is calm

I rather, rather pass a brother palm to palm

We kick, we kick, we kick a verse of unity

And shack and shackle steps to the beat, beat


I click, I click the TV to the Simpsons

And sip the porridge deep into my system

So mel, so mellow mode is my day mode

Inside the studio or on a road


The Swing, the Swingalow is the now step

It's murder if you bet 'cause you're life's jep

To praise, to praise the Soul is on a down drag

It's false, because I'll spray you with the Black Flag


Pease porridge in the pot

Pease porridge in the pot

Pease porridge in the pot

Nine days old


Pease porridge in the pot

Pease porridge in the pot

Pease porridge in the pot

Nine days old


Can't stand, can't stand, can't stand the pop music

Brother, brother, brothers pop a lot of pow

Don't watch, don't watch, don't watch a lot of basketball

Don't und, don't understand the act of being fouled


Hey D, hey D, hey DJ set the record up

It's time, it's time, it's time to tame the annoyin' pups

Throw on the Touchin' Fingers serenade

So we can throw our lemonade in their face and kick their little butts


And off and Mase is the first to throw a punch and he connects

(Touching fingers, touch, touch)

Lovely to the ribcage, wouldn't you say so Squirrel?

(One at a time, touch together)


Indeed, indeed, I would say he showed a lot of formulate

(Touching fingers, touch, touch)

Combination but look at the hoodlum tryin' to escape

(One at a time, touch together)


Yeah, it seems that that particular hoodlum showed great form in

(Touching fingers, touch, touch)

Trying to escape but he, ah, just got his ass busted

(One at a time, touch together)


People wanna get ragged with the reruns

Me not, me not, me not scared to trudge a bit

They can't, they can't, they can't get close to none

I tap, I tap, I tap a dance war skit


The por, the por, the Porridge got crazy cold

We won't, we won't eat until the heads are flown

Take advantage to a cool one's peaceful ways

But when but when we fly that head all the people say


Here in Frogland, we always eat our Porridge

'Cause it keeps us frogs real peaceful like

In my land, my people adore Porridge

And I don't understand why De La Soul is so violent


And we are so peaceful, we sit by the camp fire

And listen to our rituals and they are so violent

I don't understand, I don't understand


Pease porridge in the pot

Pease porridge in the pot

Pease porridge in the pot

Nine days old


Pease porridge in the pot

Pease porridge in the pot

Pease porridge in the pot

Nine days old


Pease porridge in the pot
