Props Over Here

About Props Over Here

"Props Over Here" is the first single from The Beatnuts: Street Level, a 1994 album by East Coast hip hop group The Beatnuts. It was released by Relativity Records as a single with "Yeah You Get Props" as its b-side in 1994. The song is produced by The Beatnuts and features raps by JuJu, Psycho Les and Fashion. The lyrics are not as boastful as other Beatnuts songs, but are instead a hopeful demand to be considered good. "Props Over Here" contains a slow upbeat jazz-inspired instrumental that samples "Wee Tina" by Donald Byrd & Booker Little and "The Bridge" by MC Shan. Lenny Underwood plays keyboards on the song. Matt Jost of RapReviews.com explains that the song is well-suited as a lead single because its "rich bassline" is made for "mass consumption. Despite these "props" and the song's Abraham L. Lim-directed music video, "Props Over Here" did not make it onto the Billboard Hot 100, but instead reached #39 on the Hot Rap Singles chart. The song is nonetheless one of The Beatnuts' best known songs. It is sampled on Don Scavone's song "The Force." It can be found on two Beatnuts hits compilations, World Famous Classics and Classic Nuts, Vol. 1. A remix can be found on Remix EP: The Spot. more »

Showing love, with the fucking bass in your face 
New York City have mercy one time, introducing the crew 

[Fashion] 
Hey, you ain't really you and you ain't really down 
Plus I'm tired of seeing you fucking for they face of ground 
'Cause when I sit back and think back of how you found me 
It make me react react my fucking yammy 
Now I don't cock, though my mnd is in the sewer 
I just kick back six pack and then I do 'er 
But she gets stuck on crowing like a cat 
'Cause the toes got sucked on she don't know how to act 
Back in the days I am 237, used to rumble Kevin 
Backing hoes was like heaven 
Eleven, years later I tried to hide 
And hoped they pass me by like I'm the pharycyde 
Just let me puff and lounge with my niggas 
Don't have no time to fake funk with triggers 
Don't believe in kids with that puts cat say 
F*ck around with Fasion get your whole shit bit 
Spend crazy years with the blues pay dues 
Before I met the Psycho is in the junk yard juice 
But now the crew combined and we can't be stopped 
Going around the globe to collect the props

[Yeah you get props over here]

[Psycho Les] 
I get stoned everyday I gots nothing else to do 
I'm getting drunk with my niggas 'til the night is through 
And when the night is through, I won't have a fucking clue 
Of what tomorrow will bring so I pay ten [true] 
Yo life's kind of funny if you don't make money 
Then your days ain't fuckin sunny 
Excuse me for my language 
But I'm trying to get my last thing together 
And bought the crib to be in my damn bids so never 
Acted like I deserve to have it 
I whipped I stabbed it I whipped I grabbed it you silly 
Rabbit, I'm coming at your door 
Tracks behind the stacks better yo I'm brought showa 
I'm showa, unlike others want to pop you 
Use a pistol drop dogging that shit you need to stop 
'Cause when I approach and you can't back up

[Juju] 
Real niggas do real things and that's a fact 
And real niggas could lick their hoes in niggas backs 
And your life's down like a heavy price to pay 
For some bullshit that you ain't even had to say 
But don't sweat that, 'cause I'm 'ma let you keep your head 
If I wanted to kill, you're already be dead 
I gotta a lot of things to do, a lot of money to make 
I got no time for you and all the moves you fake 
Taking care of business yeah without a doubt 
And I'm 'ma make a million dollars kid before I'm out 
Yeah I gotta give a shout to my peeps in Corona 
Going hand to hand gettin' loot on the corner 
Life is full of stress and to rest my brain 
So I puff the buddha bless and destroy the pain 
I gotta a lot of things to do, a lot of money to make 
I got no time for you and all the moves you fake
