A Tribute to the Early Days Lyrics by Digital Underground

Sex Packets (Cassette)

1990

[Intro: Doc-P]
Yo, we gonna do this like this, aight?
I say, it’s one is for the Buddha, it’s two is for the sess (uh-huh)
Three is for the coke and don’t forget the Buddha-bless
Yes, yes, y’all, and you don’t stop
Ah keep on, ‘til the break of dawn
Ah keep on, ‘til the early morn’
[Shock-G]
A Technic, Gemini, amplifiers, too
Don’t you know, Kenny K, it’s o-on you
Check it out, you don’t stop
‘cause it’s on, ‘cause it’s on
And the beat don’t stop ‘til the break of dawn
The beat don’t stop ‘til you all get home
Know what I’m sayin’? And you don’t stop
Doc P [?] – my mellow, my man
Just get on the mic and turn out the land
[VERSE 1: Doc P]
Ah Yes, yes y’all
Ah yes, yes y’all
Ah yes-yes ah yes ah yes-yes y’all
Well I was walkin’ down the street real late one night
Looked – up ahead I saw a big, bright light
I got the temptation and I couldn’t resist
So I walked on over and took the big risk
I walked a little closer, and what did I see?
Seen a big spaceship, just land as could be
The doors opened up and to my surprise
This short, grey dude had walked outside
He had some blue and white Adidas and some fresh white Lee’s
He even had a nameplate that said, “E.T.”
He walked on over and he said to me:
“I don’t come from Pluto, Venus, or Mars
I came from a planet beyond the stars
See it’s not very far from here you see
It’s just a couple light-years, maybe two or three
Without – wastin’ time I want to get to the point
I came to Earth to rock the joint
‘Cause I can do the ‘lectric boogie so nice and that’s me
One night or seven days a week,”
So Shock-G, my mellow, my nigga
Get on the mic and don’t pull the trigga
[VERSE 2: Shock-G]
A while ago, I wanted you to know just who you been listenin’ to
Well I’m the baddest in production of the Digital Underground crew
I’m just six-feet half a bow-legged ass that you ever would want to see
Ah that’s right y’all, that’s what I said, ‘cause I’m talkin’ ‘bout little old me
‘Cause I can sing, I can dance, I’m the King of Romance
You sweet young ladies, won’t you give me a chance?
To prove to you that I’m the best
So I want your telephone number and your add-ress
Yeah, your name, telephone, address, and all
I might want to see you, I might want to call
Ah keep on, you don’t stop
Keep on, you don’t stop kickin’ it!
Ah yeah ah yeah! (don’t stop)
Kenny K!
In the place to be
[VERSE 3: Shock-G]
Check it out, y’all
I seen this freak, the freak was on
I turned around, the freak was gone
I went on home and stuck my key in the door
The some ol’ freak was lyin’ on the floor
The freak went down into my pants
I figured that she want to do the freak-dance
But I didn’t try to stop her, ‘cause that would’ve been on the whack
She said, “You’ve got a dick like a Whopper, but it tastes just like a Big Mac.”
I’m Shock-G y’all, and I’m in your town
I’m Shock-G y’all, I’ll make you all get down!
[Fade out]
