In Full Gear - Stetsasonic, Marauder, Fury

Let me start by saying

You wanna leave?

Go 'head, I’m staying

'Cause I been fully baptised in the river

Stets’ll get loose while Paul’s on the set

And you can bet, this party’s gonna pump like a LinnDrum

A better band, you know it ais’t been one

And on stage, the Stet is a rage

Says Spin magazine on the 21st page

Ozone levels drop, weak rappers stop

Trying what you can get arrested for

White mind, don’t you know it’s a crime?

We had it before you had a piece of crime

You’ll see you better not mess with me

You little maggot, where’s your integrity?

Listen here and get this clear

I’m rolling with the band of the year

And we’re in full gear

And we’re in full, «gear»

We’re looser than a hammock

Unique and crafty like Stet-ceramic

'Cause in full gear is aerodynamic

The button is pressed, in 88 starts the panic

The sucker MCs start running amok

While a band like Stet is having positive luck

And we wen' on tour, made the people roar

In response to the floor, you got a show for sure

A future career keeps Stet aware

'Cause what we display is in full gear, yeah

The peer is pressure, the pressure is peer

But you really feel the pressure when you’re sitting here

A plan sewn together like a 5A stitch

And the tones I choose replaced by pitch

Stet’s so creative with the drop of a tear

Plating fear, making punks wanna disappear

'Cause we’re in full gear

And we’re in full, «gear»

We got a Stet-powered amp of 500 watts

Gaudy Wheels, a Bin-Z Box

Turbo power, a sun rooftop

No doubt will we shout, «We came here to rock»

And we’re in full, «gear»

The way I clown with no big ego

We rock the style to make hip hop gold

We tie our camels to the lumps and bumps

Then come out a champ with the sound that thumbs

S-T-E-T is not a lethal code

From state to state, we sever rhythm and soul

The six-man band of hip hop’ll throw

Need I say more?

I know you know

But if you don’t, let me lay it out to you

The Stet mystique will always continue

You whup the punk and we will never mildew

'Cause we’re the one that’s elected to lead you

Fully equipped we come to make it all clear

That we can do this here year after year

Sparking amok from the front to rear

Sharper than the tip of a bumper… (?)

And we’re in full, «gear»
