Don’t CurseHeavy D

[Intro: Heavy D]
This one definitely goes out on a censorship tip
So everybody sit back, relax and have a champagne sip
We gonna teach these people out there who are against saying what we want to say the right way
Y'know what I'm saying?
So what we're gonna do is kick back, swing a little funky beat by my man DJ Pete Rock, producer extraordinaire
Yo Pete Rock, make it clear

[Verse 1: Heavy D]
I can flex, bend, lend a pen to a friend
Keep a party pimpin' from now to then
I don't have to swear, curse or juggle
Lyrics in the verse to make a party bubble
So Mister Censorship, tell me, what's your problem
There's girlies on the corner if wifey can't solve 'em
How did she say it? I'm curious, G
Does she say, "Honey, love me" or "Baby, baby, fun me"
Anyway, we say what we wanna say
Play how we wanna play, feels good that way
So G Rap, huh, it's time to kick a verse
Do your man a favor and don't curse

[Interlude: Biz Markie sample]
Kool G. Rap in the house
Kool G. Rap in the house
Kool G. Rap in the house
Kool G. Rap in the house

[Verse 2: Kool G. Rap]
You're telling me don't curse on a verse, they did it worse
First I put a curse on every verse
I kind of got outrageous
Check it, even made a record on how I'm doing on the B-I-T-C-Hes
Ducks, it wasn't for the bucks
Every word that you heard is 'cause I didn't give a f-, aw shucks
Ayo, I almost forgot
The curse is a plot but it's getting kinda hot
So I'ma let profanity retire, hey
But if worse comes to worse, I'll cuss you out like Richard Pryor
So Grand Puba, kick a verse
But do your man a favor and don't curse

[Interlude: Grand Puba sample]
Grand Puba's on the rhyme
Grand Puba's on the rhyme
Grand Puba's on the rhyme
Grand Puba's on the rhyme

[Verse 3: Grand Puba]
Don't curse, bust it
I won't curse, I'll take a famous curse word and just say kcuf
Kcuf flipped around the other way means ha
Boy, when I do, I see, I can't get stuck
Jump on the mic then I earn a quick buck
Buck meaning loot, then I grab some boots
And set with my troops
For those who can't follow and got stuck
Kcuf flipped the other way means ahem, hem hem
It's just a curse, I freaked a nurse in a hearse
But I made sure I had my hat first
(CL Smooth) It's time to kick a verse
God cypher divine, we can't curse

[Interlude: CL Smooth sample]
CL Smooth, right to left
CL Smooth, right to left
CL Smooth, right to left
CL Smooth, right to left

[Verse 4: CL Smooth]
Go ahead ask me, would I kick a curse in a verse, I say nope
Grab you by your hand, wash your mouth out wit soap
Thinking to be the last one with the bad lingo
Scooping on the skinz in the church playing bingo
Sounds of the Mecca don fresh from the tailor
Because they made a movie when he cussed like a sailor
Better yet, dialect dirty like a subway
Freaking for your loot, here to make it go the other way
In a vocabulary scrimmage
But cursing in my village ain't good for my image
So Big Daddy, you know it's time to kick a verse
But do your man a favor, don't curse

[Interlude: Biz Markie Sample]
Big Daddy
Big Daddy
Big Daddy
My man, my mellow, get on the mic 'cause you know you eat Jello

[Verse 5: Big Daddy Kane]
Uh, the smooth rap inventor that enter
Parental discretion's not advised so there's no need to censor
Kids wanna peep it, but you want to beep it, what?
I feel like slapping that sticker on your (chill chill, see)
I'm too magical, rhymes are too tragical
For any source to stop Kane from getting capital
If I thought sticking me was dissing me
Man, don't you know that this would be
Worse than Stephen King's Misery
So clean all profanity, still and yet all the man'll be
Rocking any microphone you're handing me
So Heavy D, I'm about to disperse
So kick another verse and don't forget not to curse

[Interlude: Heavy D talks]
Ayo Big Daddy, check this out
I'm about to do some old sly, slick, smooth on the trick tip stuff
I'ma bring in my little cousin, the producer of this joint
His name is DJ Pete Rock, definitely part of, one of the family
You know what I'm sayin', G?
And he about to flex on this here mic and get busy like his big cousin
You know what I'm sayin'? Check it
Pete Rock, kick a verse but don't curse

[Verse 6: Pete Rock]
God bless but I can't mess around with the curses
So I'ma kick verses, or a verse
Soul Brother Number One here to kick facts
Smoke the microphone and produce crazy tracks
Yo, I'm a bad bro, let's start the flow
I'ma kick rhymes 'til it's time for me to go
I can't curse 'cause Heavy D said so
Now I'ma get back to the subject, get wreck
If you think I'm bluffing, just check
With the crew, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, very down to earth
And we didn't have to curse

[Interlude: Q-Tip]
Yeah, man, the Abstract poet
Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest here to wreck
You know what I'm sayin'?
Got my man Pete Rock and my man Heavy D in the house
And we're definitely chilling on the lifted tip
So bust the stidyle, aha

[Verse 7: Q-Tip]
Flim flam flim, lick my big black stuff
Must I kick a curse to be rough enough?
You can put the sticker where the sun don't shine
So back off and let me get mine
Visions in my head when it's dealing wit hits
If I had four girls then I'll lick eight -its
Wait, don't wanna hear no drama
'Cause the bum diddly Hev is a fave of my mama's
So I'll blue out and get mad lifted
Don't have to say -uck to show that I'm gifted
God bless me 'cause I reach my 21st
Heavy D, don't drop a curse

[Verse 8: Heavy D]
Peace, peace, peace to the preacher
I'm talking about a verse without a curse that's how I reach ya
I can rock a party without a swear or a harsh verb
Backwards, no curse words, Heavy D prefers
So swing, swing to the soapy clean rhythm
Before I say goodbye, let me tell ya how I hit 'em
CL, Pete Rock, G Rap, Maxwell
Big Daddy, Q-Tip, and uh, me as well
Time to say peace, thank Pete for the beats
This funky beat was made for the street
Notice how clean that we kept every verse
But if worst came to worst (We'da all said a curse)
