[CL Smooth
From the Heights, not what am I write, simple I can do thi
Like Popeye to Brutus, I'm your host like a stewardes
Fly with the neighborhood hi-jackin fell
So prepare for landing, and crash into a cella
Bodies in the buddha cloud, misty in the tun
Like a show all nights, a figure eight in a lagoo
With Pete Rock, the complete lock and beat sto
Now all the horny heffers wanna dangle on my *errr!
Down by the dungeon with the cracks on the wal
Buffoon I'm like a mink while you're soon to pimp a raccoon stol
Vocal arrangement, ready set to hit the pavemen
But not before the kid leave The Basemen

Quick to bust a ditz so don't slip in the wa
of the kid, with the flavor, the party people saviou
Clockin all the honies, eyes sharp like a razo

Yo, that's the kid from "Mecca and the Soul Brother"

I wonder who this is comin up
Fourth but not least, the backbone of the Wig Ou
Freestyle, crazy hardcore, no sellou
Speakin, upon where I dwell from the dungeo
All over the U.S. states, even Londo
Pasttime present, black to the futur
Swimmin in beats like a Dolphin, so call me Don Shul
A Raider well like Art Shell, crazy defens
A Pro Bowl with soul for local event
The crew name is CL Smooth and Pete Roc
Here to sail when I prevail and stare into the doc
The Pimp Daddy of the funk flavor, catch you late
Clever like a secret agent comin from The Basemen

kid said, "Pete makes beats in The Basement"
Cold hit, the pavement, over to the chill sid
The real side, the 7-7 hillsid
I thought I'd just chill, take a breat
Straight up Columbus Hill, make a lef
and get fixed, plus the ghetto chicks got flick
of me stacks of kicks, my joint's bumpin lovel
Walkin down the street, much props, on the
I hear voices sayin, "That's Rob-O'Dingo in The Basement"

My man from the Vernon, his name is Di-da, make it ra
[Dida
Fly like an eagle, a seagul
Always into somethin, like Snoopy, the Beagl
People, grab a tight hold of the soun
Hard, snatchin raw papes off the shelve
Blowin up spots from state to stat
I'm comin to town but you just can't wai
Check the station, for conversation at six-bloc
Uno here, to put suckers in the mi
I get deeper than oceanograph
Thinkin of crazy shit, like psycholog
So speak the piece, then slide like greas
The beat is fat, but the rhyme is obese in The Basemen
[Pete Rock
In The Basement, is where I dwel
