Oval Office 3rd Bass

"Oval Office" by 3rd Bass, released in 1989, is a #HipHop track that critiques political hypocrisy and societal issues. The lyrics convey a strong message against corruption and the superficiality of power. Unique elements include sharp wordplay and a blend of sampling. The song contributed to the rise of socially conscious rap in the late '80s.

"This recording, is a collection
Of unintended indiscretions before a microphone"

"Oh who locked the door?"
"A hard man is good to find."
"Open the door!"
"The principles.. of friction"

[Nice] This feeling's a function, so step to this
[Serch] Ain't the average boys who do this
[Nice] Door is opened, to office summoned
[Serch] Yo Pete I think you're in there man! ("I'm coming!")
[Nice] Reception warm, not a handshake
My hands shook, barrier's about to break
[Serch] She was seated, legs long and slammin
[Nice] Oval office opened, so let's begin!
Push my point across, firmly
[Serch] Core proposal
[Nice] Prime Minister serve me, surely ("Surely! Nyuk nyuk nyuk")
I serve you with motion
And doors open wider, coast in
[Serch] Secretary said, "Put Serch on line two..
Yo, put him on hold!"

"That towel was related to my husband!" (repeat 4X)
