Lyrics
Greetings girl and welcome to my world of phrase
I'm right up to bat
It's a Daisy Age and you're about to walk top-stage
So wipe your Lottos on the mat
Hip-hop love this is and don't mind when I quiz your
Involvements before the sun
But clear your court cause this is a one-man sport
And who's better for this than Plug One
Now you don't have to worry about me squashin' other deals
Cause they've already been squooshed
Freeze a frame about moods the same which we can continue
Right behind the bush
You'll stay with me
Eye Know this
But not because of all my Earthly treasures
Or regardless to the fact that I'm Posdnuos
But because
Eye know I love you better
May I cut this dance to introduce myself as
The chosen one to speak
Let me lay my hand across yours
And aim a kiss upon your cheek
The name's Plug Two
And from the soul I bring you
The D.A.I.S.Y. of your choice
May it be filled with the pleasure principle
In circumference to my voice
About those other Jennys I reckoned with
Lost them all like a homework excuse
This time the Magic Number is two
Cause it takes two, not three, to seduce
My destiny of love is brought to an apex
Sex is a mere molecule
In this world of love that I have for you
It's true
Eye know I love you better
Now it's time to let this rhyme style
Get somewhat poured in the mold
Hold my hand and we'll pick my plantation
Of daisies for a bouquet of soul
Life will begin at the cut of a rim
Take it as filled to the rim as in brim
Squeeze your stoop like Betty Boop
We'll make Campbell Alphabet Soup
And spell Plug One's within
Forward march is the say
When transistors will play
Come into bed is the move
Dolby Sound will be then top crown
When I put the needle into your groove
I got a good thing
And in full swing
I show this in gifts, words or letters
But even without those three
Eye know you'll be close to me cause
Eye know I love you better
It's I again and the soul that I send
Is taking steps to reach your heart
Any moment you feel alone
I can fill up your empty part
We can ascend 'til we reach De La heaven
And in a spin we'll hit the top ten
Then we can meet Mr Stuckie
And Pos' brother Lucky will preach
Let the wedding begin
Shot by an arrow of cupid
Through the string of a G-clef
My dear, I claim you're deaf
And if you can hear me, by golly gee
Trugoy is ready for what you possess
We could live in my Plug Two home
And on Mars where we could be all alone
And we make a song for two
Picture perfect things and I sing of how
Eye know I love you better

[@zfhosnrosys]

so true

[@bdotm]

It's an excellent album but 1989 is a few years too early to be considered the golden age of hip hop, by any definition.

[@ThiefOfBaghdad]

@@bdotm the definition of golden age is literally late 80s to mid 90s... 1989 is the prime time golden age - you had so much classic stuff coming out around then!

I was surprised at how much good old school music they put in. Loved the soundtrack so much.

[@fett22]

My college aged sons both found them independently of me recently. I loved them back in the day. Happy to see they have discerning taste and an eye for just plain well crafted music.

[@XseriezisaG]

I did not. I found it through NWA

[@corrosivedevourer]

Refreshing how no one talked about how much money they have, which designer clothes they wore or the car they drove. Straight pure lyricism

[@oceano87]

I mean rappers talked about that throughout the 90s also lol. De La was an exception to the rule

[@natemickens88]

Never listen to these guys until now.....While older and checking for more clean music. As a young man, this was too weak......Solid material from man to man....Give them all their flowers now 🙏

[@canaisyoung3601]

And if De La Soul does do lyrics like that, then it's a spoof or a criticism of that type of rap music. Listen to "Stakes Is High".

[@lizardman7718]

I like hearing braggadocious tracks from time to time, especially if it’s done in a clever way. Obviously it gets stale if it’s the only thing being rapped about, but I don’t think it’s inherently bad.

So happy they cleared the Steely Dan sample. And from the looks of the title, the estate of Otis Redding must have cleared it with the condition that Otis Redding be listed as the featured artist on the song. Whatever -- I'm just glad the song is in tact! Finally after all these years a legal copy for streaming and sale.

[@soricesofast]

Lol yep. Featuring a little Otis whistle

While there was a learning curve given some of the remixed plot elements, I really felt like using this song in Mutant Mayhem was such a beautiful nod to the time where Turtles truly ruled the world. The late 80/early 90s hip hop boom was intergral to the vibe of the 1990 film, so this felt perfect.

We would do silly dances around the living room of his one room bedsit / flat with vinyl stacked all around…Hearing this song as a child really helps me to tap back into that mind-state and remember the good times. My father had a complicated life and therefore our relationship was always complex, but one thing I will be eternally grateful for is the wonderful music I would hear and was exposed to back then. I don’t know. When I hear this song it’s like he’s telling me… ‘eye know I love you better…’
