People get ready for the heartbeat props
2
(We're giving heartbeat props)
3
Everybody get ready for the heartbeat props
4
(We're giving heartbeat props)
5
We're gonna make it funky with the heartbeat props, y'all
6
(We're giving heartbeat props)
7
It's time to get busy with the heartbeat props
8
(We're giving heartbeat props)
9
I give my man props 'cause he's living
10
(Why wait until the heartbeat stops?)
11
Check it out, y'all, proper respect is what we're giving
12
(We're giving heartbeat props)
13
Uh, I give my man props 'cause he's living
14
(Why wait until the heartbeat stops?)
15
Don't you know that the proper respect is what we're giving
16
Seems like you wondered each day if the Underground
17
Is going to stay down with the funky beats
18
Even if you know that I'm a junkie for a bump that's funky
19
And a fool for the loop, see, a groupie for the old one-twoiee
20
A bass freak would say oohwee
21
Peace to DU 'cause I like the way you do me
22
I love to go on about the funk, matter of fact
23
I'd love to be another funk front runner
24
But first we gotta deal with the fronters
25
So I can't go on, it's time to drop a few bombs
26
Get busy, G, go on and take 'em to school
27
Yeah, it's time spread the jewels
28
I ask you about Malcolm and you tell me that he's wicked
29
Farrakhan comes you can't seem to buy a ticket
30
And check what my man's got to say
31
Right or wrong, don't you think that he deserves a play?
32
'Cause he's living for you and you and you and you
33
The brother X tried but he died trying to get through
34
So why wait until the heartbeat stops?
35
Yo, go on and give my man his props
36
If you're really that down then act what you say
37
KRS and Chuck need support today
38
I see you posing with the Dr King hanging on your wall
39
Only difference is Chuck might give you that call
40
To march on Friday, yeah, it's kind of frightening
41
Let me move so I don't get hit by the bolt of lightning
42
Striking you down 'cause you're fronting
43
A dead leader can't tax your mind
44
Therefore he's not a threat to your personal time
45
All the lagging and the dragging
46
Yo, I got something to do that day
47
Yeah, you sound like an old bitch nagging
48
Fuck that fronting, fuck that fronting
49
We're pumping up the brothers 'cause the brothers keep it pumping
50
You got it all wrong
51
When you wait for the TV to tell you what's going on
52
Don't you hype on the mic ,yeah, they never get it right
53
That's why you see we gotta thank God, y'all
54
For niggas like Ice Cube
55
'Cause they'll tell the record straight
56
Yo, my man's a prophet too, yo, god, you think he ain't?
57
So do the right thing, it's not a black or a white thing
58
We're here to let you know it's just a human being thing
59
We're pulling out all stops 'cause it's time give heartbeat props
60
(We're giving heartbeat props)
61
I give my man props 'cause he's living
62
(Why wait until the heartbeat stops?)
63
Proper respect is what we're giving
64
(We're giving heartbeat props)
65
I give my man props 'cause he's living
66
(Why wait until the heartbeat stops?)
67
Don't you know, don't you know that proper respect is what we're giving
68
(We're giving heartbeat props)
69
You're giving more respect to a dead man than you do my man
70
And my man's got the plans in his hand
71
(Why wait until the heartbeat stops?)
72
(Heartbeat props)
73
I'm the type of guy that's sly like a fox
74
An honor roll student in the school of hard knocks
75
There was different type of brother that I used to look up to
76
But I'm still giving props where the props are due
77
But let me start with a fool I don't give a fuck about
78
I wanted to give a fuck you out
79
To the nigga who went out on a whim
80
He was a roody-poo for shooting Huey Newton
81
But I'm thanking God for niggas like Iceberg Slim
82
And the chick the honky's ran to see
83
She was the honky-tonk's fantasy
84
Tina Turner, the living legacy
85
And she's still got you tripping off the legs you see
86
Another chick they used to beg to see
87
Was Josephine Baker, she had them hooked
88
They loved the way she shook her money-maker
89
But why did it take them so many decades
90
To give a little praise to who they ran rave to see
91
With a dark complexion
92
She was sex symbol befo' Marilyn Monroe
93
But her heart stopped before
94
They gave props to the old pro
95
It took a great man to mold those
96
So I want to give props to my pops because he told those
97
But there's a time to break necks and throw bolos
98
Be a cold bro and throw low blows
99
When you want to close the shows of your foes
100
'Cause foes are those that you got to break like windows
101
Check it, when respect goes it's time to break a nose
102
But give respect before the soul goes
103
Well, I suppose respect is what respect'll get ya
104
So I'm giving them gifts before they're stiff like the pose
105
In the pictures of Vogue and flashy fashion magazines
106
You be thumbing in 'em, props to Beverly Johnson
107
She was the first black woman in 'em
108
Pee, drop the bomb and end the pressure with the menace
109
Smith & Wesson clear the lesson that your mama gave
110
Mama gave PeeWee the same threats, she used drastic measures
111
Told me to give her the full respect or get my ass kicked
112
It was my intention to relent just till the last kick
113
When she goes she'll roll over in a solid gold casket
114
When I was young Muhammad Ali had me sprung
115
'Cause he was the champ, as the champion he was my idol
116
Yo, they took his title when he wouldn't take the gun
117
And fight in Vietnam the only way he felt, then he won the belt again
118
Now they want me in the army but they can't harm me
119
'Cause I ain't no punk, I ain't under man to Uncle Tommy
120
Props to Islam, it's getting brothers together before the big bomb
121
Blast out, before we're all assed-out
122
We need to see that we got to start giving the props to the living
123
(We're giving heartbeat props)
124
