Lyrics
Fundamental
You can put the watered down version back in the rental
Ya'boi coming to take you back
To the fundamentals
This time, they got a boss up in it
See when you paid your cost to boss
Then you can be about ya boss' bizness
I saw the maze, and I lost them in it
Left them in that field of dreams where
territories unattended
Unfamiliar to the simple mind
Greet um with a shot of hen
Until they feel that rip in time
Which is I
Warnings come in all forms
But I don't fall for um
I researched the research
I know all of um
How you think I made it to this point
I'm to the point where I can take the point and point it to wherever the f**k I want
Since I'm headed to the top, that's where it's pointed to
I'm on my way up, since I've learned to move like bosses do
Time-shifted when nobody was paying attention
You can't fade what paved the way for you to get paid today, that's fundamentals
Hook
Back when Dre had um all ridin to the Chronic
E40 pulled up in the Click Cutlass
talking ebonics
Fundamentals
When Too Short was keeping it real in the Ghettos
Before dancers raping in heels and had skills in stilettos
Fundamentals
When Latifah was the queen of her thrown
Public Enemy and EPMD were in a league of their own
Fundamentals
I'm talkin even when
M&M came along
Slim Shady 8 miles up the road and he been killing Kim in his song
Fundamentals
2nd verse
I can go off-script just a bit
just to spit
Doc said I ain't even sick. I'm just a bit sick at this
That just means my gift to spit is from a period
Where 50 said, get rich or die trying, I'm a get it periott
Regulators mount up with Warren G and the great Nate Dogg
Committed a Armed Robbery with MJG and 8 Ball
Pac did um up when he lit um up with Hit um up
Member Timberland and Magoo and Missy misdemeanor Elliott
From Da'Brat, Left Eye, Salt-N-Pepa
and Lil Kim,
To the First lady Eve and the miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
Mia X was the biggest Mamma
On No limit's roster.
Her and the Ghetto Twinz held it down with they No Limit potnahs.
Either you was Rollin up with Snoop bumping Doggy Style
Or Po Pimpin in the back seat of the Caddie with Do or Die.
From LL having you get your Rock The Bell on,
To Andre and Big Boi telling ole girl, gone get the hell on.
You and your Mamma!

Fundamentals
When Latifah was the queen of her thrown
Public Enemy and EPMD were in a league of their own
Fundamentals
I'm talkin even when
M&M came along
Slim Shady 8 miles up the road and he still killing Kim in his song
Fundamentals.
