[Incomprehensible]
I stepped into a basement party in Brooklyn
The brothers was looking as soon as I put a foot in
A female walked up to me and said, "Latifah bust a line"
I don't think you're on the strength, show me the time
I said, "If you really want to do this, we can do this, fine
Take six paces and begin to rhyme"
As soon as she attempted to make a sound
I ate her up with the verb, broke her down with the noun
'Cause I hate it when someone challenges with me
But cannot balance with me
I get annoyed when they can't go blow for blow
I get pissed when I hear the lyrics a sucker brings
Ha ha, I was thinking the same thing
Well, I was approached by a whole damn group of them
Rhyme fiends, biters, and bums
Took me kind of light, said they wanted to fight
I kinda got uptight, you didn't do what I think you did? Yeah, right
Bash, went the first, smash, went the next one
What about the third, he started, he started to run
But to his surprise, his feet must have slipped
'Cause I snapped that neck before the second step
You see you may speculate, but everybody knows
Not one amateur can deal with the pros
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
There was a time that a man could go
Anyplace, anywhere without a Rambo
But now me have to keep me pistol loaded with rhyme
Have to deal with bad breath biters that step out of line
So when they make a move them surely get a taste of it
I'm Daddy-O and I don't quit
So feel the flow, y'all, because you're under attack
From my rhymes, 'cause I'm writing swift rhymes in stacks
And four words to the wack, just stay the hell back
'Cause it's a fact if you're wack you ain't saying Jack
So we can go rhyme for rhyme if you wish
But eating you suckers is my favorite dish
And I warned you suckers if you messed with me
You'll be the next ingredient in my recipe
Start and don't finish, I'll hunt you down
And you can't run forever, so you'll be found
And with nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide
How you wanna be eaten, boy, baked or fried?
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
It's Latifah the Queen, pioneer of the mainstream
I flow just like a pro 'cause it's the same thing
Suckers have to realize how foolish they sound
So button your lips and stop trying to be down
I caught you out there, how many times? A lot of times
'Cause when it comes to mine, you know I gotta rhyme
Stepping to the right, to the left
To the best place, well I have to face
A sucker like a pooh-butt, weak and soft
Riding my bra strap trying to get off
Understand and know, that if you want to go
You'd better be ready to flow 'cause I'm a pro
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
We wax floors with bums, make mocks out of some
Sting 'em hard, and watch them complain how it stung
Kidnap the babysitter, lock 'em inside a box
Daddy-O and the true blue queen of rock
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow

[ VERSE 1: J. Sands ]
Yo, what I need for you to do is just listen
Open up your ears cause what you hear is mint condition
Type shit that you bump when you be out on a mission
Bendin city blocks in a Range or Expedition, or whatever you're pushin
If you're trekin get a walkman and some headphones with cushion
J. Rawls, what you think, some of these rappers are douchin?
(Yeeaaah!) Cause they actin real sweet with the glamor and glitz
Soft to? hardrocks when the camera clicks
Test me, then you and your whole fam'll get ripped
See, I'm not the DJ, but still the man in the mix
Easily handle this quick, then testify to the Most High
I didn't mean to do it but my temperature's blew it
Suckers put up fronts but yo, I see right through it
Like H2O fluid in a glass container
So when it's all said and done there will be one remainder
(The Lone Catalysts) zuong! while you're in a hanger
33 000 feet above, get enough love
You know why, you know why?
[ CHORUS (2x) ]
Because everywhere we go people seem to know
The the Lone Catalysts will rock the show
Make all the ladies say (aaaw!) fellas say (hooo!)
Then collect the dough cause we are the pros
[ VERSE 2: J. Sands ]
The Lone Catalysts, professionals at this
I mean, the rhymes, the loops, the snares, the kicks
Ain't no joke, baby paw, this is as good as it gets
A lotta y'all with the raps and beats just seem to miss
Like you ain't tryin hard e-nough to be part of
The most elite, you can't compete, so why bother?
Swimmin with the sharks when you can barely thread the water?
This is the pros, you're amateur, not a starter
You need to take time out
To properly learn how to spit your rhyme out
I mean seriously, du
Can't you see that this industry is all about loot?
So if you're comin with the wack you'll never recoup
And that doesn't make sense, to not make sense
When you're supplyin the demand with the rhymes you invent
It's simplistic, but don't get it twisted
Cause you still gotta know the logistics or you'll just be a statistic
At home snack up on a two piece and a bisquit?
My point: you're findin? in case you missed it
[ CHORUS ]
[ VERSE 3: J. Sands ]
One time for your mind, two times for your body
Three times for your soul, fourth time I take control
With my man J. Rawls about to break the mold
Under pressure never fold cause the hand that we hold
Is laced tight with the trump that makes you bump-bump
Don't front, cause suckers look chump right from the jump
When they act like they want to battle against the monk
Usually they probably drunk or feelin it from the skunk
It's a sobering effect once we snap that neck like Erick and Parrish
Even your peeps will be embarrassed
So why you wan test against a strong guest
Who you know gon' bless the East Columbus
Style, we originated strictly from this
Way I lay my vocals to his drum kicks
With one swift paragraph I enlist
You and yours to explore with the Catalysts
[ CHORUS ]
(*ad libs*)
Lone Catalysts
J. Sands and Rawls is how we do
Professionals
