word

we all kinda deep

right

yo

you should tell shock to do a song with everybody

putting everybody down

you know

shock would never do that.!

people want to know about the underground

and how the hip-hop rivers keep flowing

they want to know where we've been and where we're going

straight dropping style after style

let's take a look through the emcee file

hmm

we've got the k down in tampa bay

we've got mone in oaktown

we've got blocko in l.a

the list goes from africa to down in miami

yeah time to introduce the family

what do you know

our reunion

the family's back

we went our own different ways

was broke

and now we're living fat

a different journey and a path we took

some strayed the wrong way but hey

that's okay

blocko! the one to break up all the chitchat

sit back

relax and max as we attack this wax

but it's like that

that's the way we're living

a puerto rican brother with the gift for giving

well

it's the 'm'

the 'a'

the 'c'

the dash

the 'm'

the 'o'

the 'n'

the 'e'

that's me and him

the 'i'

the 'a'

the 'm'

the

hmm

the shit

the one you waited and waited

debated for

to rush and bust and crush and slam the door

to rip and kick and spit a funky rhyme

but i'm 'o'

the 'u'

the 't'

the 'o-f' time

hiphop sound from the underground

family

gather round

zulu baby with the boots and crown

slip in to give us a listen of what you're missing

able and gifted enough to speak in geez while we're kicking

so listen

it ain't where you're from

it ain't where you're at

it's where you're going

if you didn't know before now you're knowing

the underground family runs the show

we wrote a song about it

you want to hear it? here it go

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

yeah

big stretch with the motherfucking underground

check the sound

it's a family ting running you down

and no question

wrecking from back in the days

with shock g getting money in criminal ways

but now we're gold and microphone rolling

sucker duck stolen

leaving the hoes cold drooling

digital underground with the squad

fuck around and get scarred

it's a family affair

stepping to the mic as i recite a little line

you don't know who i am? i am the master

the mind

sitting back relaxing as i tell a little story

like in wallalaley and glory!

met the homeboy december

yo

i do remember

the lyrics i spit make him high and dismembered

a tip of my lip is a hit so beware

i'm down with the 'ground

and it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

feel the fire

shassiah is running live kick it

like a luxury line with the tube of precision

the way we flow the rhythm hits the party from top

we got the sunshine rhyme so hype air drops

coming straight from the bridge and going beyond

with the capital 'p' and the magical wand

inch one in effect

st. ides forty beers

shassiah and i'm out of here

'cause it's a family affair

through audio

video and even in stereo

walking down the street while niggas try to peep

our style

i'm telling you it's wild

brothers looking out for one another

writing and reciting our poetry

chilling while you're illing

making cash money

but step to one hass if you dare

and then you know it's a family affair

and here comes p.b.c. o.b. rakiem

and d-love

and don't forget my man t.f.e

cause we're wrecking 'em

wrecking 'em

wrecking 'em

adversaries to none

all parts of the body

don't step to them

we swing this ep for the kleptos

step while you sweat

here comes the rep in control

of the freaky dope concept

that's the time to rhyme

another jackson hit

a funky skit?

yeah

g

we're taxing it

we roam from the bronx

and then we jet from queens

and then we talk in long island

where the family seems

if you get big for your pride

we'll take the heart of your block

you get snatched for what you get if you half-step

hops

g-allah

earl wynne

kid cush

shock g

my brother jean

my man dave

fly jazz and og

the 85s is the gods

peace for eternity

a tribe? knowledge-ciper

that's a family!

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair

it's a family affair
