The Dawn Brings Smoke Lyrics

[Featuring Native Tongues] 

Dove: 

Meany meany meany meany meany (Say what?) 

Meany meany meany meany meany (Say what?) 

Meany meany meany meany meany meany 

(Oh you gotta do that again Dove) 

Meany meany meany meany meany (Say what?) 

Meany meany meany meany meany (Say what?) 

Meany meany meany meany meany mean (OK) 

Hello it's the Soul 

Troopin in with the Jungle patrol 

And this ones about the KO's, the knockouts out there 

Who I call my buddy 

Hold up (Wait a minute) 

Pos: 

Now just wait, we're gonna talk about Buddy on this plate 

But before we let the herd out the gate 

Make sure the levels are straight out the jungle 

(The Jungle, the Jungle, the Brothers, the Brothers) 

Afrika: 

De La Soul, from the soul 

Black medallions, no gold 

Hangin out with Pos, hangin out with Mase 

Buddy, buddy, buddy all in my face 

Mike G: 

For the lap, Jimbrowski must wear a cap 

Just in case the young girl likes to clap 

Ain't for the wind but before I begin 

I initiate the buddy with a slap 

Phife: 

Now drop the beat, for the Phifer from A Tribe Called Quest 

When I see Buddy, I will never half step 

I'll just do her Tribal style and then jet 

The Buddy that I like is to be sexy and nice 

Just good enough for the one they call Phife 

A brown skin Buddy with shoulder length hair 

Nice firm breasts and a round dairy-aire 

Q-Tip: 

Now for the next, I'm the Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest 

And when I quest for the Buddy, I don't fess 

For my jimmy wants nothing but the best (the best) 

The best (Ooh Wee!) 

Let's stick out the jimmy and see what we can catch 

(Stick 'em up, stick 'em up jimmy) 

Next won't be needed unless (Jenny wanna get right to the flesh) 

Afrika: 

Dancin on the dance floor 

Girl, it's you that I adore 

Step off stage, they scream for more 

Native Tongues got rhymes galore 

Mike G: 

Snap my fingers, make you mine 

If not, I'll snap a second time 

After that, I guarantee 

You will be standing next to me 

Afrika: 

Fly buddy (buddy) don't you know you make me go nutty (nutty) 

I'm so glad that you're not a fuddy duddy (duddy) 

Not too skinny and not too chubby (chubby) 

Soft like silly putty 

Miss Crabtree (Crabtree) I hope that you're not mad at me 

Cuz I told you that it was your buddy (buddy) 

That was making me ever so horny (horny) 

Junglelistically horny 

Pos: 

I won't lie, I love B-U-D-D-Y 

Cuz I never let it walk on by 

When it comes to me and Jenny, I seem (very serious) 

Like a big friend 

Buddy is an act that occurs on the lip 

When Jenny and Jimmy start shootin the gift 

Boy let me get shot, I won't even riff 

Dove: 

On the dial, my Buddy talks to me for a while 

Plug Two is the (Q-Tip: Q to her Tip) 

On the A-side or sometimes the flip (word up) 

Buddy, is the bud to my daisy tree 

And the luuden to my do-re-mi 

And the pleaser to my man Plug Three 

(Plug Three gets the whole caboodle) 

Mike G: 

Behind my bush, my Buddy likes the way that I push 

And like a champ, just knock it on out 

Never ever once sellin out (Well let loose the juice) 

My Buddy helps me to (De La my Soul) 

Keepin Jimmy in total control 

Without Buddy, I'd be on a roll 

Monie Love: 

Now as the lady 

I thought that Jungle and Quest and Soul would just maybe 

Give me the chance to say that I get crazy 

Due to the fact I let Buddy amaze me 

As a matter of fact, it pleases me in many ways 

I decided that it was time for Monie Love to say 

That when it comes to the three, you know that I don't play 

Cuz to me chasin Buddy is the perfect way (perfect way) 

To spend the day (to spend the day) 

Q-Tip and Queen Latifah: 

Oooh child, things are gettin a little easier 

Oooh Buddy gets easier (yeah) 

Oooh child, things are gettin a little easier 

Oooh Buddy gets easier 

Q-Tip: 

Girl, I heard you're lookin for some good times 

If you Quest from the Soul, here's what we'll find 

Whole lotta fun, lots of fun together 

Just like kissin cousins(Yeah, that's kinda clever) 

Close like bosoms, bosoms stay close 

If you be my Buddy, I won't toast 

That we're like Ethel Mertz and Lucille MacGillicuddy 

You can be mine and I can be your Buddy 

Dove: 

The best Buddy's in evening wear 

Long lovin less Tru know (he's in there) 

I feel sorry for those who pay a fare (a fee?) 

Word to the D 

I don't beg, I just tease my Buddy with my right leg (ha-ha) 

And when it's ready what's said is Buddy is best in bed (Word to the 

D) 

Afrika: 

Buddy buddy told us all to get into a circle 

Said don't bug because I won't hurt you 

All I really wanna do is freak you (You know what? She freaked us) 

Mike G: 

And I watched and then I checked my Swatch to see the time 

The Soul had formed a Buddy line 

And that Buddy was mine, all mine 

Pos: 

Now when Quest, Jungle and De La Soul 

Is at the club, our ritual unfolds 

Grab our bones and start swingin our hands 

(Then Jenny start flockin in everywhere) 

Cuz Jennifer just wants to stay aware 

Yo fellas, should we keep her aware 

(Mmm, Hmm...yeah!!!)
