[00:01.000] 作曲 : V. Mason/De La Soul/Bob Dorough/P. Huston/D. Jolicoeur/K. Mercer
[00:05.871](Got to have soul!)
[00:07.868]{POS} 3
[00:09.150]That's the magic number
[00:11.339]Yes it is
[00:12.976]It's the magic number
[00:15.843]Somewhere in this hip-hop soul community
[00:19.295]Was born 3 mase, dove and me
[00:20.968]And that's the magic number
[00:22.856](What does it all mean?)
[00:23.742]Difficult preaching is Posdnuos' pleasure
[00:25.849]Pleasure and preaching starts in the heart
[00:27.873]Something that stimulates the music in my measure
[00:29.849]Measure in my music, raised in three parts
[00:31.887]Casually see but don't do like the Soul
[00:33.734]'Cause seein' and doin' are actions for monkeys
[00:35.823]Doin' hip hop hustle, no rock and roll
[00:37.606]Unless your name's Brewster
[00:38.661]'Cause Brewster's a Punky
[00:39.890]Parents let go 'cause there's magic in the air
[00:41.752]Criticising rap shows you're out of order
[00:43.759]Stop look and listen to the phrasin' Fred Astaires
[00:45.670]And don't get offended while
[00:46.645]Mase do-se-do's your daughter
[00:47.712]A tri-camera rolls since our music's now set
[00:49.746]Fly rhymes are stored on a D.A.I.S.Y. production
[00:51.670]It stands for "Da Inner Sound Y'all"
[00:52.932]And y'all can bet, that the action's not a trick
[00:54.658]But showing the function
[00:55.771]Everybody wants to be a deejay
[00:57.713]Everybody wants to be an emcee
[00:59.325]But being speakers are the best
[01:01.112]And you don't have to guess
[01:03.011]De La Soul posse consists of three
[01:04.903]And that's the magic number
[01:07.786]{DOVE} This here piece of the pie
[01:08.954]Is not dessert but the course that we dine
[01:10.968]And three out of every darn time, the effect is
[01:13.632]"Mmmm" when a daisy grows in your mind
[01:15.649]Showing true position, this here piece is
[01:18.067]Kissin' the part of the pie that's missin'
[01:20.287]When that negative number fills up the casualty
[01:23.694]Maybe you can subtract it
[01:25.585]You can call it your lucky partner
[01:27.676]Maybe you can call it your adjective
[01:31.408]But odd as it may be
[01:33.188]Without my 1 and 2 where would there be
[01:35.341]My 3, Mase Pos and Me
[01:36.799]And that's the Magic Number
[01:39.604]Focus is formed by flaunts to the soul
[01:41.563]Souls who flaunt styles gain praises by pounds
[01:43.662]Common are speakers who are never scrolls
[01:45.587]Scrolls written daily creates a new sound
[01:47.686]Listeners listen 'cause this here is wisdom
[01:49.484]Wisdom of a Speaker, a Dove and a Plug
[01:51.561]Set aside a legal substance to feed 'em
[01:53.402]For now get 'em high off this dialect drug
[01:55.622]Time is a factor so it's time to count
[01:57.521]Count not the negative actions of one
[01:59.597]Speakers of soul say it's time to shout
[02:01.521]Three forms the soul to a positive sum
[02:03.474]Dance to this fix and flex every muscle
[02:05.483]Space can be filled if you rise like my lumber
[02:07.486]Advance to the tune but don't do the hustle
[02:09.418]Shake, rattle, roll to my Magic Number
[02:11.401]Now you may try to subtract it
[02:13.355]But it just won't go away
[02:15.509]Three times one?
[02:16.942](What is it?)
[02:17.581](One, two, three!)
[02:18.800]And that's the Magic Number
[02:22.610](Yo, what's up?)
[02:24.545](1, 2, 3)
[02:25.431](I say, children, what does it all mean?)
[02:27.622](Woah-woah-wo, 1, 2, 3)
[02:30.686](I wouldn't lie to you)
[02:31.420](No more no less, 3, that's the magic number)
[02:35.413](No more no less)
[02:36.550](What it is?)
[02:39.336](No more no less)
[02:40.812](Is this the future?)
[02:43.336](No more no less)
[02:45.461](Do the shang-a-lang)
[02:47.247](No more no less)
[02:49.560](No one on the subway ever chats to me)
[02:51.298](No more no less)
[02:53.540](Anybody in the audience ever get hit by a car?)
[02:55.243](No more no less)
[02:57.450](How high's the water, mama?)
[02:59.216](No more no less)
[03:01.456](How high's the water, mama?)
[03:03.259](No more no less)
[03:05.433](Three feet high and rising)
[03:07.252](No more no less)
[03:08.457](Three! That's the magic number)
