The Beginning

[Intro: Phonte]

The song ends

And we must begin again

Illmind, playin the sad songs, won't be no sad song tonight baby

There will be no sad songs tonight

As we begin to give you something new

Ladies and gentlemen

I wanna thank y'all for tuning in, this Chittlin Circuit 1.5

I go by the name, Phontigga, Phonte, got a couple of names

My partner Rapper, Rapper Big Pooh, Pooh, he got a couple of names too

9th Wonder, 9th Wond-raw, he got a couple of names

Illmind on the track, we gon' get it goin, let me slide into it

Check it out, uh

[Verse 1: Phonte & Rapper Big Pooh]

Check Tigallo up your the spot, he's so flagrant

Bitch, my love sign reads no vacancy

You might as well consider yourself vagrant

This is for those that said we wouldn't make it

And didn't understand how far we that would take it

Sittin back thinkin in amazement

Tryna figure out where their days went

That's why me and Pooh stick to the basics

Young'n just face it, the game need a facelift

Some things rearrange, some will shape shift

Cut and paste this, there's some cottonmouth niggas who should taste this

I'm Terry Tate on the mic, come face this

Got to go all in ya truck like a U-Haul, me and 'Te do y'all

You don't want it on the mic, nigga screw y'all

I heard your record and you sound better than who y'all?

[Hook: YahZarah]

It's something new, you better believe

Feels so good to me, it's the beginning

It's the start of something new, feels so good to me

You better believe it's the beginning

[Verse 2: Phonte & Rapper Big Pooh]

We bout to get it started right now y'all, uh

Check Tigallo up your spot, he's still stunnin

Wifey talkin bout she still cumming

Cause I hit her off with different strokes like Phil Drummond

You don't want beef cause they will run in

Your crib and bounce with the metre still runnin

Don't get it confused, them LB dudes

Do get down and for that crown I'm still gunnin

This is real young'n

So let me tell you somethin, it's a hundred verses runnin

Poobie still gunnin for that number one spot

And shit won't stop til I'm from the planet cemented at the top

Drop me never, I'm as good as it get

Grip like pliers on your television sets

While you're all upset I'm just speaking the facts

Getting bent out of shape, you don't know how to act

Niggas, I'm just talking bout rap

[Hook: YahZarah]

It's something new, you better believe

Feels so good to me, it's the beginning

It's the start of something new, feels so good to me

You better believe it's the beginning

[Verse 3: Phonte & Rapper Big Pooh]

Uh, last time around, yo

Check Tigallo up in your spot, he's so drastic

His stage presence ain't wrapped too tight

It seems larger than life and he appears so massive

That's why you bastards like to watch me

Cause I rhyme so classic like Tchaikovsky

And I ain't thinkin bout no paparazzi

Big Dho, go and pop the 'razzi nigga

Cause this is celebration

With the beats and the rhymes and we elevatin

And all the people, I can tell they waitin

My right hand so devastating

And it tend to have a mind of its own, it don't exhibit patience

Racin' through lines and books

Do this shit for a livin, it ain't simple as it looks

When that ink run dry better be a good cook

Have a job lined up or be a great crook

Another heart gets took

[Hook: YahZarah]

It's something new, you better believe

Feels so good to me, it's the beginning

It's the start of something new, feels so good to me

You better believe it's the beginning
