MASE:
Questionand 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)
GRANDMA MASE: (Squirrel)
Masethis is the ninth day I've reheated this porridge. You know it
keeps me peacefullyno?
MASE:
Yeahbut my tolerance level has now peaked
And now it's time for some heads to get flown
DOVE:
We bringwe bringwe bringwe bring the peace of course
But pack a nine insideinside my De La drawers
A picturepicturepicturepicture painted pink
Could turn to redto redto red in blooded quick
But in a single file my Native Tongue is calm
I ratherrather pass a brother palm to palm
I kickI kickI kick a verse of unity
And shackand shackle steps to the beatbeat
I clickI click the TV to the Simpsons
And sip the Porridge deep into my system
So melso mellow mode is my day mode
Inside the studio or on a road
The Swingthe Swingalow is the now step
It's murder if you bet 'cause you're life's jep
To praiseto praise the Soul is on a down drag
It's falsebecause I'll spray you with the Black Flag

POS:
Can't standcan't standcan't stand the pop music
Brotherbrotherbrothers pop a lot of pow
Don't watchdon't watchdon't watch a lot of basketball
Don't unddon't understand the act of being fouled
Hey Dhey Dhey DJ set the record up
It's timeit's timeit's time to tame the annoying pups
Throw on the Touching Fingers serenade
So we can throw our lemonade
In their face and kick their little butts
FIGHT COMMENTATORS: (Squirrel and Mikey Roads)
- And offand Mase is the first to throw a punch and he connects
lovely to the ribcage. Wouldn't you say so Squirrel?
- IndeedindeedI waould say he showed a lot of formulate
combinationbut look at the hoodlum trying to escape.
- Yeahit seems that that particular hoodlum showed great form in
trying to escapebut heahjust got his ass busted.

DOVE:
People wanna get ragged with the reruns
Me notme notme not scared to trudge a bit
They can'tthey can'tthey can't get close to none
I tapI tapI tap a dance war skit
The porthe porthe Porridge got crazy cold
We won'twe won't eat until the heads are flown
Take advantage to a cool one's peaceful ways
But whenbut when we fly that head all the people say
THE FROG: (Lisle Leete)
Here in Froglandwe always eat our Porridge'cause it keeps us frogs
real peaceful like.
JABIB: (Jarobi)
In my landmy people adore Porridge. And I don't understand why De La
Soul is so violentand we are
so peacefulwe sit by the camp fire and listen to our ritualsand
they are so violent. I don't understand
I don't understand.
