[Hook]
"Oooh, oooh, pissin' on your steps..."

[Verse 1]
It's D-E-L tha Funkee Homosapien to the rescue
I'm solo and threw a bolo and left two
Dancers back on Soul Train
And ya know Soul Train get the phat doodie stain
Now what ya gonna do with the board with no talent
Using step 1 and step 2 to keep the show valid
Let's have a vote and try to register our ballots
And realize a Hammer's just a mallet
Toss him like a salad cause he ain't truly gifted
Now the party's lifted by the crew Hieroglyphics
Golly-wolly, not another Elvis and Priscilla
Ice is cool, but I can't stand Vanilla
Because he takes a style and tries to mock it
Ain't nothin' personal, G, but I'm kinda into chocolate
It's all about the black, and it's like that
And I'm so laid back cause I smoked a phat sack
Plus I'm almost through & done with a whole 40-dog of Olde English 800
Now I peep ya concept
Ya think ya got a rep?
Dance all day, while I'm pissin' on your steps

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
No Del is not a mean fellow
Just because I wanna turn your dance shoes yellow
See I'm rather mellow, some call it lazy
Me and myself and I ain't with the daisies
Cause I'm no goddamn flower
And every single dancer in circumference receives a golden shower
I'm here to insult
The Hip hop John Travolta
Ya think ya all that but really you're shorter than a midget
I don't fidget
With the ballet
[Ice Cube:] Fuck a dancer [Del:] Because that's what my pals say
And brothers don't shake ya rumps
Wearin' biker shorts is like chokin' on ya nuts
Because ya might end up with a cramp or a hernia
And that's much worse, than a fine girl burnin' ya
Plus it ain't fly for you to have your behind
Blasted all out like a feline
See I'm givin' you advice, make ya think twice
Cause dance groups don't last past Minute Rice
So change ya concept
Acquire some skills on the mic while I'm pissin' on your steps

[Hook]

[Outro]
"I gotta take a leak for the weak..."

Del the Funky Homosapien (born Teren Delvon Jones in Oakland, California on August 12, 1972) is the founding member of the hip-hop collective Hieroglyphics. His debut album I Wish My Brother George Was Here was released in 1991 and featured production from himself as well as The Boogiemen and his cousin Ice Cube. The album featured Del’s most popular solo single “Mistadobalina” but Del wasn’t feeling the funk sampled sound used on his album that the West Coast would become known for in the following years. He began his sound shift with the Mistadobalina B-side “Burnt”, which was the first appearance of the Hiero crew on wax. His next album, 1993’s No Need For Alarm had a darker yet jazzy sound as the production was handled by Del and Hiero crew members Casual, A-Plus, Snupe, Jay Biz, and Domino as well as Stimulated Dummies.

Prior to the release of his third album Future Development, Del was dropped from Elektra Records and went on to release the album in 1997 on the Hieroglyphics Imperium label in cassette form. He also appeared on the Hiero group album 3rd Eye Vision in 1998 and dropped his fourth album Both Sides of the Brain on Hiero Imperium in 2000, which featured the popular single “If You Must.”

On October 17, 2000, Del released the Deltron 3030 collaborative project with Dan the Automator and Kid Koala, and he had two high-profile appearances in 2001 on the tracks “Rock the House” and “Clint Eastwood” with the Gorillaz. After making more appearances on Hiero group albums and other projects, Del released his album Eleventh Hour in 2008 through Definitive Jux and has released more albums independently through different sources such as Bandcamp and Soundcloud. After more than 25 years in the rap game, he continues to tour and perform with the Hiero crew.
