   (This time, put it in mellow)
   Pass the peas like they used to say
   Pass the peas like they used to say
   Pass the peas like they used to say
   Pass the peas like they used to say (ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)
   
   POS:
   First P is passed
   I am known as
   Posdnuos, Plug One to the whole race
   Rhyme on a tour
   Smart and much more
   Dispatch I've stood themes with the Mad Face
   Tall dark and lean
   Was once nineteen
   Now I'm one year older with reason
   Clean thoughts and drawers
   Rhyme flow never stalls
   The yes yes yes y'alls
   Will end this season
   The Soul reached high plains
   We didn't reach Soul Train
   But Don don't like rap
   So that won't happen
   Fame we don't lust
   God we do trust
   Arsenio dissed us
   But the crowd kept clapping
   Blessed with soul's lights
   So turn off your brights
   Overexposure will bring about a clear soul
   Don't push, but piles,
   For this here new style
   And excuse me y'all while I fill my potholes
   
   Pass the peas like they used to say
   Pass the peas like they used to say
   Pass the peas like they used to say (oh yeah)
   Pass the peas like they used to say (ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)
   
   DOVE:
   Passed off second
   Tru I reckon
   Head full of dreds
   But knowledge inside
   Singin' on records, making it hectic
   Wishing it all would fall and die
   Radio works it, public consumes it
   Tommy Boy wants another "Say No," huh
   Rough and rugged
   It's not a new twist
   Been Trugoy since the first get go
   Here's the daisy
   Watching it die, see?
   Native is the new like Balance is the shoe
   Paul makes a mil like dill makes pickles
   Plus is to add like addin to the crew is
   Pimps promote us, RM's work us
   MP's watch us close in focus
   Watch me steppin'
   Now I'm dancing
   Then disappear with a hocus pocus
   
   Pass the peas like they used to say
   Pass the peas like they used to say
   Pass the peas like they used to say
   Pass the peas like they used to say (ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha)

   PAUL:
   Fourth P is passed
   I am known as
   (Prince Paul)
   Yeah thanks Mase
   Applied like chapsticks
   The songs are slapsticks
   Skeezoids with polaroids
   Give me such a case
   Trife or not trife
   Don't own a wife
   Yet I'm down and around for a good kiss
   I got a 40 of Pepsi
   A girl in Bed-Stuy
   And I'll end it like this!
   (Will rise, not fall)
   (Definition: Prince Paul)
   (Our Mentor, don't be sore)
   (When I say that's all)
