John Reuben

Place To Be

John:

Yep, too clean

??? Voice:

And here we go, here we go

John:

Alright, guys, we got one chance. once chance, folks, do do this.

This is our chance to shine, and let's put it to rhyme,

and let's put it to the mind,

and let's put it to the test. God Bless

so here we go, check it-

You know, uh, we are steppin to the party, the place to be

OK, the crowd is packed, and people lookin at we

like the mic's on the stand, Speedy, you know what to do

stepped on stage, hey you

Speedy:

Yo, greetings earthlings, i'm on a search for a team of elohim

fiends seen (indistinguishable mumbling)

and i recite for, as I recite for Heavenly riches

plus to spread the Gospel

and poison ivy when it itches

which is wrote in Acts 1:8

never debate when i'm quotin the omnipotent

never promotin tooth decay by way of teeth nashin'

mics i'm clashin like the classic flights of Ben Franklin's kites

lightnings bolts of light strike men

that they might see my good works, then

Glorify He who rolls from earth to Heaven

yo, i think it's evident, Christ takes residence

in hearts of benevolence

when God is speaking, yo we give Him reverence

we can wash and rinse in fragrance (aw, i messed it up)

John: Fragrance, ah, that's cool that's cool

Speedy: Fragrance, ya like that? ah, that's ok, that's ok.

what you think it is?

John: But it's a Freestyle, I like that.

place to be, the place to be, the place to be

because we step into the party the place to be

ok the crowd is packed and people lookin at we

Like the mic's on the stand, and Transcend know what to do,

Alan know what to do, hey you hey you

Um, i said it before, Transcend five-foot-four

walkin in, steppin in through Todd Collins' door

in the studio rockin from here to beat next to Monday

Tuesday kid, we might chill on Sunday,

but Saturday we're eatin Grits in the morning at Shoney's

Transcend rockin it, but not for the money

Truly the skill, bustin it at will

like i said it before, send me the bill

for hip-hop is the one I truly love,

God is truly above rockin,

keepin it cool to the end of the -- Ahhh!

John: Step into the party, the place to be

ok the crowd is packed and people lookin at we

Like the mic's on the stand and

?????? Voice: John Reuben know what to do!

BG ??? Voice: Reuben you know what to do!

John: right right right I know to do

and what they want me to do is come through

and have a little fun

John Reuben a little bit lanky

a little six-foot-one

havin' a good time everytime without a care

look at me i got crazy fluffy little jewish hair

because i'm a jewish kid, call me the messianic

everytime i grab the microphone it's lyrics like Tonic

'cuz you take it in, and then you want a little more

what step through the door, hardcore metaphor,

not speakin' when i'm tweakin'

yo these whack emcees they be reakin

but let's not talk about the whack,

let's talk about myself for a minute

so get in it

John Reuben about to spin it

for the crowd to go infinite times, infinite rhymes

infinite line after line, from the top of the mind,

each and every tile, style, pile, file (indistinguishable mumbling)

step into the party the place to be

ok the crowd is packed and people lookin at we

like the mic's on the stand,

and y'all know what to do, so we stepped on staaaage

???? Voice: and what happened?

John: On stage, and the mic was on.

the mic was on. the mic was on

so i turned the microphone on and i said a little somethin'

a little somethin'

i said turned the microphone on and we said a little somethin'

it was the place to be, in the space to be,

too much energy and nothin can we do wastefully

because creativity runs through my B-O-D-Y

Don't ask questions, i'm just stressin,

then God Blessin' and addressin' the

(indistinguishable mumbling)

alright peeps, we're outta here

??? Voice: Beautiful

??? Voice: Aw, Cue!
