Phonte
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 n***as 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, n***a 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
N***as, 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 n***a
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
