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, s**er I'm snuffin' The word of the third 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 smacks (Square in the bu*t) Pete gave me the cue So I'ma put up or shut up until my jam is through But for now I want to freak em, so I'll embark To spark your mission posse, til way past dark (Don't park there's no standin') or I'll play the five-oh You don't stop movin' until the Serch says so To keep the tribe open, shootin' out to play em Three 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! (At the sound of the tone) What's the time? (The time will be one A.M.) 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 nineties I'm universal, I set a line free Behind me, the three the hard way, the jackpot (Awaitin' Satan's, tryin' to take cheap shots) We groove crowds, the three stand proud The brothers round the way sit down and 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., dickin' down swine Pete Nice skims over lyrics, I pick em Strong and 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 (and you despise) Envy this emcees 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 time What's the time? It's about that time What's the time? Time to get stupid! (At the sound of the tone) What's the time? (The time will be one A.M.) It's about that time What time is it? Shootin' for the A.M. No weight on the felt plate, deep ba** below rise Needle torture groove, move the record til the whack stride (Schoolin' the swine on the strength of my vocab) Bet you wonder you're a goner (You're thinkin' that you had) Lyrics to the A.M. but the house needs a swinger You st-st-st-st-stutter, but I'm a stinger (My rhymes so potent, I wrote em and it's evident) You're just a stunt, seekin' a settlement The 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! (At the sound of the tone) What's the time? (The time will be one A.M.) It's about that time What time is it? For, 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 them (Slow and smooth) Flowin' like fluid The ma** did worship the lyrics the three did (Amid all crisis) Drop it like a guillotine (You're moist) fearing the voice of the rhyme fiend Scene is zipped, Pete Nice is your worst dream Fulfilled your 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 to (The needs of a shaker, sweatin' to the point of exhaust) So listen to the mission horse Blinded by the science, my mind starts flexin' Sexin' down females to the A.M., perplexin' A complex reflex (you wonder if we slumber) The three don't sleep (ayo Pete Nice take 'em under!) Steppin' to the A.M., I'm steppin' to the mic To snatch up and smash up the club until daylight! Two for the time Two for the time What's the time? It's about that time What's the time? Time to get stupid! (At the sound of the tone) What's the time? (The time will be one A.M.) It's about that time What time is it? For, for the A.M. What's the time? It's about that time What's the time? Time to get stupid! (At the sound of the tone) What's the time? (The time will be one A.M.) It's about that time What time is it? For, for the A.M.
