Twelve Lyrics by Jurassic 5

Quality Control

2000

[Intro: sample]
"1 for the treble, 2 for the uhn!"
"Rock, rock, rock, rock on! To the ––check it out!"
"Rock on! To the break of dawn! To the break of dawn!"
"To the––" "Ya don't stop"
"Check it out!"

[Hook: Jurassic 5]
One, two, Jurassic crew
What we bout to do, brothers have no clue
Three, four, tear down the door
And give the party people what they came here for, ahh

One, two, Jurassic crew
What we bout to do, brothers have no clue
Three, four, tear down the door
And give the party people what they came here for

[Verse 2: Akil, (Chali 2na)]
Yo, my pleasure principle from the streets of South Central
Ghetto hip-hop, non-stop from the mentals
Urban curb servin', vocabulary surging
Rebel with the turban and the street corner sermon
I keep it working for certain, close curtains
Renegade, ridin' for truth when I'm dispersing
That body rock moving, ghetto baby music
We heat together with the inner city coolness
(Yo) Who's this?

[Verse 2: Chali 2na]
Slicing a rhyme to square bits
Burning through open skin like newly prepared grits
It's 2na Fish, I'm bringing the bad news
And changing your values if ya thinking that cash rules
Oooh, pumpernickle, blow words like snot speckles
When shots echo, some duck and hide like Doc Jeckyl
Like Don Rickles, I'm kicking rhymes that stop heckles
Correcting all up on dem bumbaclot specials

[Verse 3: Zaakir]
Yeah, I got my mind on my money for those that comprehend
And my money on whatever I think I look fresh in
Question – is he stepping authentic?
Controller of the panic, frankin-scented lieutenant
Spit it! Yo, despite your critic comments
Knowing it ain't a hotter verse than Zaakir Mohammad
Whether last or first, or bottom or top
Now is it "Stop hip-hop" or "Hip-hop don't stop?"

[Verse 4: Marc 7even]
You need to protect your neck
You the kind of brother that be chasing checks
Me and my crew crash through and get nuff respect
Basic bet takers, I'm beyond your average thinker
Break a MC down, like my name was Dr. Shrinker
Passion pink MC's, wearing mink MC's
On-the-brink MC's, you need to think MC's
Bout to sink MC's, don't even speak MC's
'Cause half the shit you kicking sounding weak, MC's

[Hook: Jurassic 5]
One, two, Jurassic crew
What we bout to do, brothers have no clue
Three, four, tear down the door
And give the party people what they came here for, ahh

One, two, Jurassic crew
What we bout to do, brothers have no clue
Three, four, tear down the door
And give the party people what they came here for

[Verse 5:Zaakir]
I'm razor sharp with mine, sunset til sun
And I admit, I used to bite people's shit when I was young
Back in 83rd, before my style was preferred
Now my connection with the word is superb
Primo, my AC, 3-1-0
The first confidential, inscribed my initial
The Z, double A, K, I and R
Submerge in submarine words near and far
'Cause I'm too hot to handle, too cold to freeze
And I'ma diss any nigga that sounds like me

[Verse 6: Akil]
Yo yo, breeze through the trees, feel the flavor at ease
Degrees of melodies, typewriter MC's
Stay on their Q's and P's withing my vicinity
Department of Correctional Rhyme Ability
Keep the biters on lock, rock
No Silkk but still shock, rhyme around the clock

[Verse 7]
[Marc 7even]
From dawn to dusk, my raps is Mack Truck
You schmucks is out of luck, I'm ready to run amuck

[Akil]
Ayo I'm lampin, I'm lampin, I'm cold stone lampin'
High pitch, beat drumsticks like Lionel Hampton
The champion, fly shit, the anthem
5'11" with dark skin and tantrums
Handsome never, not even as a kid
The girls used to say "Yo, his nose is too big!"

[Chali 2na]
Yo – yo, you'll get bruised, kid
Ghetto blues, you'll never refuse shit
Show's good, lynching MC's like Rosewood
I'm shrinking you rap characters into die-cast miniatures
I'll blast ten of youse while my rhymes harass senators
Through TV monitors, brains and glass dinner jaws
Verbal vinegar for you biters down at the salad bar
The combat that's making your mom mad
I'm feeling the calm glad from burning this bomb bag

[Hook: Jurassic 5]
Yo – it goes...
One, two, Jurassic crew
What we bout to do, brothers have no clue
Three, four, tear down the door
And give the party people what they came here for, ahh

One, two, Jurassic crew
What we bout to do, brothers have no clue
Three, four, tear down the door
And give the party people what they came here for
