Good Old Clyde

mc frontalot stole a beat today [help thief]

you can take another look or you can look the other way

but to ignore this crime is a crime in itself

I'm unarmed but a shelf of jb lp's is a wealth

to any rapper worth a salt-lick

me what you get once you dry out the baltic

[who? what?] didn't you hear

bout the beat that you already got all up in your ear

[who's there?] my man clyde stubblefield

[what's that?] the sound of the funky drummer

mc frontalot, will take a well known beat and loop it

front like I wrote it, as if you were stupid

you look at me crooked but I be hard to blame

when I claim that I ain't even ever heard the same

the same beat, the same drama

[I recall] chuck d getting irritated at madonna

while we're already in trouble we'll

wring another single outta old clyde stubblefield

radio: sucka's never seem to play me

I think because I used to be a man other than me

[how could that be?] when the lyrics are furious

you hurry just to find the beat, I meet curious

mc's: yo, where'd you get the drum from?

I pummel'em on the advice of ll's mum

[let me ride] throw the beat in the trunk, let the rubber peel

stretch tracks on the grave of clyde stubblefield
