I Am I Be De La Soul (Ft. Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker & Pee Wee Ellis)

[Intro]
When, now?
I am Shortie, I be 4'11"
I am, I be, I am, I am, are you taping now?
I am Shortie
I am Patrick, I be the biggest shrimp collector in the world
Gotta do that again
I am Shortie, I be 4'11"
I am Jack and I be fire
I am Shortie
I am Shortie, I be 4'11"
I am mom and I be traveling
I am Shortie, I be 4'11"
I am Q-Tip, I be friction
I am Tasha, I be Black
I am Shortie, I be 4'11"
One more time
I am Shortie, I be 4'11"
I be Shortie and what?
I am Shortie, I be 4'11"
I be busy, I be happy, I be in love
I am Asia, I be talking to Posdnous
I am Shortie, I be 4'11"

[Chorus: Posdnous]
I am Posdnous
I be the new generation of slaves
Here to make papes to buy a record exec rakes
The pile of revenue I create
But I guess I don't get a cut 'cause my rent's a month late
