Lyrics Let Your Backbone Slide - Maestro Fresh-Wes
Let
your
back
bone
slide
INTRO
This
is
a
throw-down,
a
showdown
Hell
no,
I
can't
slow
down
It's
gonna
go
"Down"
"First
Offence,"
"on
the
mix"
"Down,
go
on
and
break"
"Down"
"O.K.
party
people
in
the
house"
"May
I
have
your
attention
please"
"In
a
moment
the
beat
will
be
played
in
many
parts"
"Come
on
and
break"
"Many
parts,
many"
"Come
on
and
break"
This
jam
is
amplified,
so
just
glide
(glide)
And
let
your
backbone
slide
You
listen
to
every
word
I
say
I
every
verb
you
heard
I
play
snaps
a
vertabrae
You
try
to
cover,
a
hover
me,
a
roast,
a
fake,
A
flag,
then
I
run
a
post
Toast,
I'm
the
most
D-E-F's
how
it
goes
No
X's
or
O's
or
tic-tac-toes
LTD
knows,
this
ain't
a
game,
I'm
on
a
mission
Call
me
a
hip-hop,
tip-tac-tition
I
rap
just
like
a
slab
of
clay
that's
shapeless
Jeff
ain't
no
shimmer,
no
glass
is
tasteless
A
universe
without
light
is
lightless
That's
why
I
always
take
time
to
write
this
I
mold
it
in
my
hands
before
I
start
chiselin
Could
be
a
rain,
or
brainstorm,
or
drizzlin
Sun
could
be
shining,
sun
could
be
showerin
Practice
make
perfect,
and
I'm
powerin,
flowerin
My
lyrics
are
awesome
Tunin'
from
human,
bloomin'
a
blossom
Blowing
away
blockades
and
barracades
Make
ya
black
and
blue
from
the
blast
and
the
blaze
It's
a
bloodsport,
bloods
builds
up
back
I
make
your
vision
go
blurry
While
your
brain
goes
black
into
oblivion
Beats
from
box
to
box
to
bates
Rocks
from
blocks
and
blocks
Let
your
backbone
slide
Just
let
it
slide
y'all,
I
don't
give
a
(DAMN!
damn)
If
ya
backbone
quiver
Man
oh
man,
watch
ya
swiver
Wind
some
twine
your
spine
while
your
slither
It's
contagious,
an
epidemic
You
try
to
lift,
you're
cool,
but
it
fell
again
Rap
scholar,
soul
like
a
Dominican
But
like
I
said
before,
I'm
not
American
It's
who
you
are,
not
the
way
you
went
We
all
originate
from
the
same
descent
I
make
alot
of
cents,
sense,
and
pence
Gold
(gold),
myrrh
and
frakincense
When
I'm
in
France
they
blow
me
francs
Frank,
with
your
swiss
account
is
the
way
I
bank-pank
At
home,
I
make
bills
are
brown
from
my
sound
In
the
states
green
like
the
grass
in
the
ground
When
I'm
in
England,
they
pass
me
pounds
now
I
clock
cash
in
every
town,
so
I
slide
(slide)
But
nowadays,
I'm
trapped
(Why's
that?)
So
many
suckers
on
my
sacroiliac
It's
like
a
rap-sack,
backpack
(Wic-wic-whack)
Give
me
some
slack
jack
Rap
is
like
a
jungle
Where
rhyme
for
rhyme
is
like
a
vine
to
vine
Swung
line
to
line
of
mine
I'm
collossal,
you'se
a
mosquito
I'mma
play
Tarzan,
you
play
Cheetah
Cheeta,
biter,
love
to
forge
Better
yet,
I'll
call
you
Curious
George
'Cause
curiosty
cold
killed
the
cat
Can't
hide
so
black
to
the
side
Let
your
backbone
slide
The
keyword
is
synchronism
Yo,
check
out
my
homeboy
dance
to
the
rythmn
And
hey,
this
hey,
oh,
this
ain't
Forte
I'm
coming
double-f
Fortissamo,
F-F
for
funky
fresh
My
DJ
is
LTD,
mellow-flex
You
listen
to
the
poetry,
big
jumbo
jet
Vocabulary
golden,
beats
from
my
rollin
Stone
cold
lyrics
with
the
microphone
I'm
holdin
Words
I
rip,
egos
I
strip
I
make
sucker
crews
kick,
Dick
Van
Dyke
flips
I
get
busy,
they're
dizzy,
they
start
to
collide
They
should've
stepped
off
(stepped
off),
I
let
it
slide
But
now
they
got
brasen,
dry
like
a
raisin
I
glaze
like
a
vase,
I
smash
you
like
days
Until
they
realize,
they
shouldn't
have
ripped
It's
'89,
not
Beetoven's
fifth
or
sixth
It's
a
throwdown,
I'm
conducting
it
Because
like
a
highrise,
I'm
constructing
it
Was
once
thoughts,
pen,
and
paper
Now
it's
a
tower,
a
soul,
a
skyscraper
It's
getting
out
of
hand
after
I've
created
a
monster
My
musical
monologue
makes
you
wanna
Move
with
the
Maestro
You
feel
hot
so
you
set
the
blend,
the
cresendo
is
nice
yo
I'm
the
guy,
the
rhythm
is
a
ride
(the
rhythm
is
a
ride)
To
the
fresh
side,
and
let
your
backbone
slide
This
is
a
throwdown
