Steppin' to the A.M.

At the sound of the tone, the time will be twelve A.M.Ready in the intro, cue up the Serch-lite

Point us to the center stage, I'll grab the first mic

Projectin' the voice with this mic that I'm cuffin'

You ain't my nucka, sucker I'm snuffin'The word of the 3rd stands true, so no panickin'

Man verse man, you freeze up like a mannequin

Petrol, you let go, the wax for the new jacks

To dwell upon, you're steppin' on the trigger as the tune smacksSquare in the butt, Pete gave me the cue

So I'ma put up or shut up until my jam is through

But for now I wanna freak 'em, so I'll embark

To spark your mission posse, 'til way past darkDon't park, there's no standin' or I'll play the five O

You don't stop movin' until the Serch says so

To keep the tribe open, shootin' out to play 'em

3 the hard way'll keep you steppin' to the A.M.What's the time? It's about that time

What's the time? Time to get stupid

What's the time? It's about that time

What time is it? Shootin' for the A.M.My mind has a question, I respond

To a silver domed microphone, one step beyond

Straight to eighty-eight, to the curves of the '90s

I'm universal, I set a line freeBehind me, the 3, the hard way, the jackpot

Awaitin' Satan's, tryin' to take cheap shots

We groove crowds, the 3 stand proud

The brothers 'round the way, sit down an' say"How'd you do this?" Ludicrous rhythm of rhyme

Anticipate like a bottle of Heinz ketchup

No, catch up, 'cause you fell behind

I'm steppin' to the A.M., ****in' down swinePete Nice skims over lyrics, I pick 'em

Strong an' long, you're wrong, I stick 'em

He's the law with the sword with my cable swingin'

Like 'The Pit or the Pendulum', Pete Nice bringin'The sunrise with no lies, legitimate an' you despise

Envy this MC's magnitude, so realize

The MC emceed, the DJ deejayed 'em

Until the next time I keep you steppin to the A.M.Two for the time, two for the timeWhat's the time? It's about that time

What's the time? Time to get stupid

What's the time? It's about that time

What time is it? Shootin' for the A.M.No weight on the felt plate, deep bass below rise

Needle torture groove, move the record 'til the wack stride

Schoolin' the swine on the strength of my vocab

Bet you wonder, you're a goner, you're thinkin' that you hadLyrics to the A.M. but the house needs a swinger

You st-st-stutter, but I'm a stinger

My rhymes so potent, I wrote 'em an' it's evident

You're just a stunt, seekin' a settlementThe lyrical line, the article original

Afflict like a convict, I ain't no criminal

Schemin' on a cable or slobbin' the knob

You played me like a foul ball, how you livin', Hobbes?Now groove into the A.M., the master spoon feedin'

Out a jumper, you're bumpin' a freak while I'm G'n

Peter let the record spin, Serch'll get a second wind

Motivate the crowd, 'til it's steppin' to the A.M.What's the time? It's about that time

What's the time? Time to get stupid

What's the time? It's about that time

What time is it? Shootin' for the A.M.I slide swiftly, keep a brother steppin'

Loungin', strength in my throat

Sweatin' as you get hit with the rhythm

My lines sustain like a crane, so uplift themSlow an' smooth, flowin' like fluid

The mass did worship the lyrics the 3 did

Amid all crisis, drop it like a guillotine

You're moist, fearin' the voice of the rhyme fiendScene is zipped, Pete Nice is your worst dream

Fulfilled, you're illed, I thrilled, I heard a loud scream

My mind is cued, so I run down a menu

That downgrades the weak as my lyrics tend toThe needs of a shaker, sweatin' to the point of exhaust

So listen to the mission horse

Blinded by the science, my mind starts flexin'

***in' down females to the A.M., perplexin'A complex reflex, you wonder if we slumber

The 3 don't sleep, ayo, Pete Nice take 'em under

Steppin' to the A.M., I'm steppin' to the mic

To snatch up an' smash up the club until daylightTwo for the time, two for the timeWhat's the time? It's about that time

What's the time? Time to get stupid

What's the time? It's about that time

What time is it? For the A.M.What's the time? It's about that time

What's the time? Time to get stupid

What's the time? It's about that time

What time is it? For the A.M.
