featuring Heavy D Rob O Grap Lover and Dida




[Pete Rock]



Ahh yeahh!! Feel the funk bay beeee!!



That's right this is called The Basement!



And my man CL Smooth kick it for you like this..




[CL Smooth]



From the Heights not what am I write simple I can do this



Like Popeye to Brutus I'm your host like a stewardess



Fly with the neighborhood hi jackin fella



So prepare for landing and crash into a cellar



Bodies in the buddha cloud, misty in the tune



Like a show all nights, a figure eight in a lagoon



With Pete Rock, the complete lock and beat stop



Now all the horny heffers wanna dangle on my *errr!*



Down by the dungeon with the cracks on the wall



Buffoon I'm like a mink while you're soon to pimp a raccoon stole



Vocal arrangement, ready set to hit the pavement



But not before the kid leave The Basement




[Pete Rock]



The Basement, put the Funk in Grand



Here comes my man



My brother.. Grap Lover, get wreck cousin, c'mon




[Grap Lover]



Call me the Grap Lover, yes, the younger Soul Brother



Keep your eyes on the prize cause you won't find another



When the funk is played, the rhyme I display



Quick to bust a ditz so don't slip in the way



of the kid, with the flavor, the party people saviour



Clockin all the honies, eyes sharp like a razor



I kick a dance step, you're soon to discover



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



Yeah once in a while I be with CL on the DL



or I flow with Pete, and find my placement in The Basement



The Basement, yes where the beats and the rhymes flow



Peace I gotta go, Grapster's out the door of The Basement




[Pete Rock]



Of the Basement! Next we got.
