De La Soul – Freedom of Speak (We Got Three Minutes) Lyrics

Freedom of Speak (We Got Three Minutes) Lyrics

Y’all got three minutes to do what y’all wanna do
Yo, so speak as free as possible
Funky

Check the clock
Watch me
Come on
Fun– Fun– Fun– Fun– Funky
Check the clock
Watch me
Come on
Fun– Fun– Fun– Fun– Fun– Fun– Funky

Bright every day, I wake up
Look at my travels, they’re scuffed up
Ring goes the telly, which I pick up
Turn on the news as it screws up
Mase on the line to see if I’m up
Wrong thing to do at five, I hang up
Lay on the floor, sit and think up
Why the whole world alone is messed up

Check the clock
Watch me
Come on
Fun– Fun– Fun– Fun– Fun– Fun– Funky

Woke up a same morning, I felt fine
Took me a shower, I smelled fine
Checked out the weather, it looked fine
Made some breakfast, I cook fine
My girl calls me, she’s so fine
Wanted me to help her go find
Some shoes but I had words to define
And it was Tuesday, I had to tape P-Fine

Check the clock
Watch me
Come on
Fun– Fun– Fun– Fun– Fun– Fun– Funky

Folks styling jokes, get the time set
Blooming of the tune, growing, it’s set
Positive, it is, and perfectly set
Soul goes to show, soon we all set
Slipping lunatics, shipping one set
Need is for these, not upset
Chance to spread word, we’re the full set
Rhythm weighs more than your weight set
Funky
Three will be the number till sunset
Plug One and Two, now we all set
Dove praises flow in your headset
Flow, De La, flow, there is no threat
Categories carry difference in sets
Differences are equal to an offset
De La from the Soul and it’s kept set
Soul is the reviver, Mase are you set?

Watch me
Put it there
You got to get it
Get it
Shout now

My name’s Posdnuos and I’m above sink
The world is so out of synch
A lot of emcees can’t play sync
That’s why, unfortunately, they sink
But problem and speak are no way sync
We wash problems like hands in a sink
I hate to make this rhyme leave sync
But the reason De La bad is ’cause we think
Funky
It took us a time but the crew’s here
Activate a dance when you hear
A roll from the Soul like this here
And respond to the bond that assists here
Politics of speaking are intended here
And the president of paragraph will end it here
‘Cause the three has completely lured here
That freedom of speak is assured here

Folly fit the frequency in your show
Wa–
Yo, you only had three minutes!
