Me, Myself & I (Live at Tramps, NYC, 1996)
[Intro: Mos Def, Trugoy the Dove, Both]
Is y'all gon' do the one? (What? What?)
The one - just to get it over with
The one I can't stand but that everybody's diggin'
Just do it to get it over with (The shit we hate?)
The shit we hate
(We hate this song) Hate this song (Hate this song)
We hate this song, we hate this song
We hate this song, we hate this song
We hate this song, but y'all love the song
So love the song, love the song
Come on, everybody, let's love the song
Love the song, love the song
Come on, everybody, let's love the song
[Verse 1: Trugoy the Dove]
I say mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me, mirror, what is wrong?
Can it be my De La clothes
(Or is it 'cause we hate this song?)
What I do ain't make-believe (Make-believe)
People say I sit and try (Sit and try)
But when it comes to being De La Soul
It's just me myself and I
[Chorus: De La Soul]
Now sing that shit, oh oh oh oh oh
It's just me myself and I y'all
It's just me myself, sing that shit, oh oh oh oh
It's just me myself and I
(Ayo, why don't you tell 'em about yourself)
[Verse 2: Posdnous]
Now y'all tease my new haircut
And me without my spectacles
You say Plug One and Two are hippies
No, we're not, that's pure Plug bull
Always pushing that we've formed an image
Yo, there's no need to lie
When it comes to being Plug One
It's just me myself and I
[Chorus: De La Soul]
One more time, sing that shit
Oh oh oh oh oh
It's just me myself and I, y'all
Sing that shit, sing it
It's just me myself and oh oh oh oh oh
It's just me myself and I
(Check it out) (What?) (Yo, yo, yo)
[Outro: De La Soul]
Now in America today
People think they know the way
Of the Soul, De La is on the road
To blink and clear the hay
Behind the line of inner find
We explain this time and time
Daisies don't mean anything
Daisies don't mean a fucking thing
But the word itself when broken up
Weighs just a larger pound
D-A stands for T-H-E
"I" is "Inner", "S" is "Sound"
"Y" is "Y'all" which you should heed
Da Inner Sound will help you breed
But still we fought a healthy side
When we have to explain
It's just me, myself...and O.J. Simpson
