[00:00.335][Intro: De La Soul, Fiorello La Guardia]
[00:06.969](Got to have soul)
[00:08.290]Three, that's the magic number
[00:11.713]Yes, it is, (Three) it's the magic number (Three)
[00:15.959]Somewhere in this hip-hop soul community
[00:19.657]Was born three: Mase, Dove and me
[00:21.515]And that's the magic number
[00:24.037](What does it all mean?)
[00:24.330]
[00:24.593][Verse 1: Posdnuos & Fiorello La Guardia]
[00:24.593]Difficult preaching is Posdnuos' pleasure
[00:26.023]Pleasure and preaching starts in the heart
[00:27.623]Something that stimulates the music in my measure
[00:29.745]Measure in my music, raised in three parts
[00:31.605]Casually see but don't do like the soul
[00:33.727]'Cause seein' and doin' are actions for monkeys
[00:35.829]Doin' hip-hop hustle, no rock and roll
[00:37.435]Unless your name's Brewster, 'cause Brewster's a punk (Three)
[00:39.928]Parents let go, 'cause there's magic in the air
[00:41.541]Criticizing rap shows you're out of order
[00:43.662]Stop, look and listen to the phrase Fred Astaires
[00:45.785]And don't get offended while Mase do-si-do's your daughter
[00:47.624]A tri-camera rolls since our music's now set
[00:49.442]Fly rhymes are stored on a Da.I.S.Y production
[00:51.567]It stands for "Da Inner Sound, Y'all" and y'all can bet
[00:53.435]That the action's not a trick, but sure 'nough a function
[00:55.558](What does it all mean?)
[00:55.819]
[00:56.078][Bridge: De La Soul]
[00:56.361]Everybody wants to be a DJ
[00:57.662]Everybody wants to be an Em Cee
[00:59.510]But being speakers are the best
[01:00.566]And you don't have to guess
[01:02.426]De La Soul posse consists of three
[01:05.088]And that's the magic number
[01:06.391](Three)
[01:07.745]
[01:08.009][Verse 2: Trugoy the Dove & Fiorello La Guardia]
[01:08.009]This here piece of the pie
[01:09.344]Is not dessert, but the course that we dine
[01:11.192]And three out of every darn time
[01:12.777]The effect is "Mmm" when a daisy grows in your mind
[01:15.390]Showing true position, this here piece is
[01:17.796]Kissin' the part of the pie that's missin'
[01:20.179]When that negative number fills up the casualty
[01:22.570]Maybe you can subtract it
[01:25.262]You can call it your lucky partner
[01:27.661]Maybe you can call it your adjective
[01:29.519]But odd as it may be
[01:32.968]Without my one and two where would there be
[01:35.370]My three? Mase, Pos and me
[01:36.953]And that's the magic number
[01:38.296](What does it all mean?)
[01:39.647]
[01:39.647][Verse 3: Maseo]
[01:39.906]Focus is formed by flaunts to the soul
[01:41.242]Souls who flaunt styles gain praises by pounds
[01:43.366]Common are speakers who honor the scroll
[01:45.490]Scrolls written daily creates a new sound
[01:47.348]Listeners listen 'cause this here is wisdom
[01:49.469]Wisdom of a Speaker, a Dove and a Plug
[01:51.340]Set aside a legal substance to feed 'em
[01:53.191]For now get 'em high off this dialect drug (Three)
[01:55.555]Time is a factor so it's time that counts
[01:57.390]Count not the negative actions of one
[01:59.255]Speakers of soul say it's time to shout
[02:01.102]Three forms the soul to a positive sum
[02:03.225]Dance to this fix and flex every muscle
[02:05.359]Space can be filled if you rise like my lumber
[02:07.197]Advance to the tune but don't do the hustle
[02:09.321]Shake, rattle, roll to my magic number
[02:11.454](Three)
[02:11.721]
[02:11.721][Bridge: De La Soul & James Brown]
[02:11.984]Now you may try to subtract it
[02:13.049]But it just won't go away
[02:14.890]Three times one?
[02:16.493](What is it?)
[02:17.812](One, two, three)
[02:18.874]And that's a magic number
[02:19.672]
[02:19.926][Outro]
[02:20.456]
[02:20.722][Skinny Boys]
[02:22.848]Yo, what's up?

[02:25.250]
[02:25.499][Fiorello La Guardia]
[02:26.022](I say, children, what does it all mean?)
[02:27.347]

[02:58.631]
