Pacifics (Sdtrk "N.Y. Is Red Hot") - Digable Planets

Butterfly searching for a relax

Pulling from the jazz stacks cause it’s Sunday

On the air is incense, sounds to the ceiling

Tried to get this feeling since Monday

Looking out the window watching all the people go

Bugging off a funny vibe cause now it seems they’re equal

Wonder what would Trane say wonder what my pop say

Bugging off the calmness in the Apple

Who me I’m cooling in New York

I’m chilling in New York

The hoods is on my block and the brother’s at the court

The baseball hats is on and the projects is calm

Dreamtime’s extended and highly recommended

But early birds like me’s up checking out the scene

The early worms jog, forget about your job

Just come dig the essence while the decadence is hidden

When people act like people, the theory is in pigeon

If you know the norm it’s like Hades transformed

On Sunday’s early hours the city sprouts its flowers

So get with the rhythms while you getting with the Planets

Vibe off the jams but don’t take em for granted, just chill

New York is red hot, New York is red hot

New York is red hot, New York is red hot

(We venture through the streets in search of funky beats)

Doodlebug: Extensive is the travels and it’s heavy on the sneaks

L: Yeah it’s kicking out the speakers of the Sunday morning jeepers

(My man do Planets do it lovely?)

Doodlebug: Am I my brother’s keeper?

(We foot it to the park where the swoon units walk)

Ladybug: And sit with the phoenicians digging on musicians

Doodlebug: Hanging with the rebels sipping on a Snapple

(Bugging with my crew just tripping in the Apple)

Ladybug: You be thinking peace when you’re vibing with your flock

Doodlebug: But you be thinking damn everybody got a Glock

(If you got some beef please express that in silence

Or else… violence)

Ladybug: But right here is the life, it’s the children of the concrete

(Living off the fruits and the functions of the fat beats)

Doodlebug: Hip-hop's all around, the members is growing

(Please dig on the sounds cause the good vibes they snowing, so chill)

New York is red hot, New York is red hot

New York is red hot, New York is red hot

New York is red hot, New York is red hot

New York is red hot, New York is red hot

Wake up, praying that the game’s on

Maybe it’s the Runnin' Rebs, maybe it’s the Knicks

Maybe it’s a rerun of an old TV show

Like Hawaii 5−0 or karate flicks

Maybe if the phone rings Butterfly will take wings

Speaking on some cool things fronting like I cope

Born unto flat ground now I’m chilling shaky ground

Reaching for Pacific Heights Sunday is my rope, dig it

Sunday’s to relax

Sunday’s to relax

Some Sunday morning drama is calling up my Mama

The hot line is in I guess the silvers knew the deal

Vibing off the jams of the crews on Sugarhill

Lay around and think ain’t nothing to do

Checking out some Fromm, some Sartre, Camus

Mingus' Ah Um, damn Roach can drum

The DP’s are life, there they go, here they come

It’s time to grab some loot, put on the Timber boots

Checking out some dollies like Tasha and Kamali

New York is a museum with its posters and graffiti

If you’re in the city on Sunday

Come check me, get with me

New York is red hot, New York is red hot

New York is red hot, New York is red hot

New York is red hot, New York is red hot

New York is red hot, New York is red hot

New York is red hot, New York is red hot

New York is red hot, New York is red hot

New York is red hot, New York is red hot
