Lyrics
I'm buggin'
E-ghostbusters
Mercy, mercy, (ego trip, ego trip)
Mercy! (ego trip, ego trip)
Mercy!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Yep, yep big trucker man's rollin' in town
How ya do, how ya do
I got the joints to make ya (jump!)
Because I'm headin' eastbound
Tired of the merry go round and around
And everybody's talkin' bout you're stuff funny
But they still tellin' lies to me
I got the trees in my backyard
And it's hard for them to tell a lie to me
And who's the foot, I'm the foot but who's steppin'
(Ain't no half steppin')
You know where I'm steppin'
Skirts play wit it cause I'm slick like that
I'm the greatest MC in the world
You gots to gimme gimme mine 'cause I'm heavy when I weigh it
Watch the way I say it (ego trip)
I change my pitch up, smack my bitch up, I never did it
The flavor's bein' bought, but brothers ain't gettin' it
Get it, or else you're a goner
When I rolls over ya gonna have to wanna lamp
Cause it's the Chattanooga champ
Takin' the train, takin' the train, takin' the train, takin' a train
Now I'm somethin' like a phenomenon
I'm somethin' like a phenomenon
Well, I'm the hourglass cat
Drug it out of jack (For Jill)
'Cause I spilled the phenomenon
Pack the holes in my lawn
Got girls in my song
Word is bond, I'm a livin' phenomenon
Well I'm a better brand 'cause I'm a superman
I run the block with my circle cause I'm nubian
I got the platinum rust, so don't even fuss
'Cause DJ Paul, he's down with us
Now people stop takin' my stylin' for a joke
I don't sassafrass, I put the foot up their ass
Sometimes I'm fast, blow off like a seal
When they reminisce over you
For real
Mase chopped the record down to the bone
And now Renee King is on my telephone
But I got the Ring Ring Ha Ha Hey Hey
'Cause this type of shit it happens every day
I got to make me a connection so my imports stuff
(Word) Word 'em up
'Cause I'm so fly
Yes on and on
I'm ins like - (Don't rock my yacht)
I got Gills like Johnny
Sail at 7 elf (Well, good for ya)
Bigger than bigs, dig it (I dug it)
Ways that amazes popes
I am the is equals is 'cause it's caught up
When the tides taught me the ropes
No weights for the baits (Man, I'll give you four)
For a verb unheard of (Man, gimme one more)
Alright you got it if you're special
With a dapper toe tapper when a lot's goin' on
(And ain't a damn thing happenin')
The answer to the riddle is me and here's the question
Who can be (fresh), who can be (dope)
Who can be (nice), who can be (beautiful)
Who can be (word), who can be?
Me be the Jericho Turnpike bandit
Yes, competition try to troupe my way
I sing the song you never heard before
I feed the famine in the mind
So mind ya manners baby
I run a line on ya
Lay ya on the springs then slay ya
All this and a condom 'cause I be a taxpayer
Promotin' of a moccasin I skin like Danny Boone
When I swallow hear the (gulp)
So give me roomm just give me room back the hell up
Back the hell up
Know what I'm sayin'
Or when I run the mic there won't be no delayin'
Pressure 40 does it like a Easy Bake oven
Blues got the muffin
Eat it!
Blues got the muffin
Eat it!!
Intoxicate many wit my talk without intoxicatin' myself low
So I gots to walk slow but...
Don't you get too high
(Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip
Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip
Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip
Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip
Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip
Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip, Ego trip)
(Aaah!! Aaah!! Aahh!! Aahh!! Aahh!!
Aaah!! Aaah!! Aahh!! Aahh!! Aahh!!
Aaah!! Aaah!! Aahh!! Aahh!! Aahh!!
Aaah!! Aaah!! Aahh!! Aahh!! Aahh!!
Aaah!! Aaah!! Aahh!! Aahh!! Aahh!!)
Somebody's cryin'?
I know somebody's cryin'
Who's cryin'?
Yo, somebody's cryin' here
(Trippin' down the fuckin' stairs)
(YEEAAAHHH!)

Still surreal to see De La Soul post their OWN music.

[@quinnsearle9977]

It's insane. The timing is so sad, but I'm so happy to see it

[@yspt]

[@jlilly7913]

Agreed. Glad for these brothas even tho Dave ain't here in the flesh.

[@kamarupa1009]

I take what I can get if ya feel me

[@trade4123]

It’s has something to do with the label they were signed to I think.Something about who owns the Rights to their name.

[@Plexpara]

No matter what era of hip hop...De La Soul allways had hits

[@kBarBeats]

word yo

[@markwaris]

Shortie No Mass is so good

[@brmbkl]

that voice, man

[@COMPFUNK2]

What happened to her though? I never heard of her after this song.

[@gambit5667]

@@COMPFUNK2 Wiki said she still makes music and has barely been heard from since 93

[@kBarBeats]

she released an album called "here goes nothing" back in 2011 and some stuff on her youtube channel here and there... last one was 2-3 years ago or something like that

[@Nesessary301]

It’s bittersweet. I’m beyond happy their music is finally getting modern exposure but sad that Dave is no longer here to witness it

[@willowbrookproductions3286]

Yea

[@mahamadeuswardhana8860]

AAAAAAAAH!!

[@ianisdoingitforthedoubters1422]

I feel it everytime!!

[@dopenerdaroc3211]

your ego aint your amigo. They held nothing back here lots of truth if you look

[@fordxbgtfalcon]

That opening with the screaming is epic. De La Soul didn’t follow the standard criteria for rap of that time, thats why I love them so much.

[@huggeebear]

It was a dig at groups like Onyx and their ‘attack of the bald heads’ machismo that was prevalent at the time

[@mutechannel13]

It's A Rental 😂 Trugoy the Dove always kept it real lol

[@nicematerial]

There will never be a group quite like De La. Thanks for a lifetime of classics. Thank you Dave. 🙏

[@Skindoggiedog]

RIP Trugoy. I loved this man. Still do.

[@HeadCoachKev]

De La’s so Counter Culture that they produced a dis video to rip all the fake ballers in Hip Hop, counter culture itself. Keeping it Real

[@LPno.9]

That's not what counter culture means.

[@brynellsidney3983]

Big shout out to Tha Pharcyde, who are in the video. RIP Dave aka Plug Two

[@GameboyGuitar]

de la soul + skating = perfect duo

[@shortminute]

Too true.

[@LoveCrypto1]

I know it's 2023 but for me De La Soul will always be stars, I still bump this

[@ManningOWNsTeboww]

Damn brings back memories from 2012 me n my boys coolin inside the whip at the high school parking lot before school every morning this was our jam. Old school hip hop will live on forever!

[@yknot.]

My favorite joint of all time.. this video takes me back to glorious times in HipHop. RIP Dave! Legendary performance both lyrically and visually. Still sounds FRESH 30 years later. De La 4Eva Eva ❤

[@Karjalol]

You guys rock !

[@Mjmccoyslean]

A classic masterpiece.

[@tydavis3407]

Still sounds amazing in 2024!!

[@danielnzioka3136]

Blessed to be here to see De La take control of their destiny. Rest Well Dave.

[@liammcooper]

Dopest crew

[@steers3686]

I had no idea that they'll drop videos. So excited!! Will we see buddy? Hey hey? Time will tell

[@jiffybox]

Still flawless after all these years 😗👌🏼

[@gtmplaya2927]

Bruh. I was born in ‘93, I’m from the south(TX) i was introduced to DeLaSoul through NBA:Streets V2.(Me Myself & I) & I Instantly Fell In Love. With That Being Said I Have Never Heard Their Catalogue (or any complete project) Before 3/3/23. When I Tell You It’s Better Than Anything I Could’ve Imagined. 3 Feet High & Rising gave me crazy nostalgia for a time & era i had nothing to do with.(80s) Yet it resonated with me so well. I listened to it over 100 times the first 2 weeks. Then gradually winged myself off it so i could proceed to “DeLaSoulIsDead” Which still has me in a serious chokehold. The samples, the skits, the originality, & Most Of All THE LYRICS! MY GOD! But I Started Buhloone Mindstate TODAY, And This Was The First Video That Popped Up On YT. I Guess I’m Progress @ A Good Rate As Far As Listening Goes! 😅😅😅 Anyway Thank You Trugoy, PosDnuos, & PAMase For Making Me Fall In Love With HIP HOP ALL OVER AGAIN!

[@tezzasmif.]

And everybody's talkin bout- 'you're still funny' but they're still telling lies to me... I got the trees in my backyard and its hard for them to tell a lie to me. 💕🕊

[@gilberticus6978]

Awsome line and who else would say something like that?

[@ElMaeseKDS]

Classssiccccccc!!!!!! Feels like biggest attempt against what finally happened with rap music. At least with mainstream rap: life aint nothing but bitches and money, gangsta shit, fake it till you make it and all that… The resistance 30 years later and always.

[@Jani28]

The memories!! RIP Trugoy ❤ 🕊 love the jazz song sample!

[@carllthebigboy]

can’t wait for the day saturdays re-releases 🙏

​@@keefevo I have the single on Vinyl. Amazing track

[@MElliottHolcman]

G.O.A.T. Much love and respect! Nobody flows like De La Soul!

[@mrmojorisin2211]

possibly the best hip hop track ever. when that middle eastern kazoo comes in its nubian. the guys mix east and west beautifully. RIP Trugoy 3 feet high and rising changed my life :)

[@pyenapple]

Ego Trippin (Part 3) off the maxi single is even better.

[@keefevo]

Classic single off the masterpiece that is Buhloone Mindstate

[@Dnice365]

This is the best diss track of all time because it was funny. You can pick all the rappers they were trolling even the screaming in the beginning is trolling.😂

[@B2twenty]

The rhymes were tight. They had it down at this point.

[@grinchoi1]

Facts bro

[@byronmcdougald7889]

back when rappers just did cameos just for kicks and fun

[@meyou5789]

Now that I think about it, this does kinda look like a spoof to the *I get Around* video by PAC😁. I know PAC and Dove is in heaven laughing about all this petty nonsense. R.I.P. to both of them.

[@luisa.3424]

2Pac loved De La Soul. It was only a misunderstood. I bet 2Pac was at the Thugz Mansion's door waiting for Dove.

[@danofthedead1979]

I always thought it was more of a spoof of Eric B and Rakims video for don't sweat the technique

[@gilmacarico]

This might just be the best hip hop track ever.

[@christopherhughes719]

Best group of all time

[@myeyeswentdeaf6213]

Rappers should’ve payed attention to De La Soul. Matter fact, also EPMD ‘Beware Of The Crossover’. Now, rap ain’t nothing but people showing off their $100,000 watches and all that nonsense. Bring it back to the essence!

[@wbarn003]

That's Sinnamon at 1:31. I watched a lof of her movies in the barracks back in the day !

[@blakegeorge3274]

This song makes my heart happy 10/10. The perfect rap song

[@TheProfir]

Holy crap they are quoting tons of classics.

[@vincentwashington4106]

Still one of personal favorites

[@Heretic_Hero]

Rip my homie Ivan who showed me this song and since then I’ve been a fan. Ill always think of him when I listen to this song miss ya man

[@ithink3979]

Used in Mr. Holland's Opus, representing a change of times when hip hop was really ramping up. What a pick! Whoever chose this track for the movie about music sure had good taste in it.

[@torreypovich8023]

Wow that was nostalgic.. I honestly haven’t heard or seen this since it was out

[@JohnDoe-yr4wc]

Welcome back.

I can't believe I will never see Dave do his verses live again 😥😥😥

[@Ampersand00]

This track/video dropped *3 years* before The Roots' What They Do. Whoever directed The Roots' video owes De La's director 💰! They obviously stole the concept right down to the 4th wall breaking overlayed text prompts.
