Lyrics
Greetings girl and welcome to my world of phrase
I'm right up to bat
It's a Daisy Age and you're about to walk top-stage
So wipe your Lottos on the mat
Hip-hop love this is and don't mind when I quiz your
Involvements before the sun
But clear your court cause this is a one-man sport
And who's better for this than Plug One
Now you don't have to worry about me squashin' other deals
Cause they've already been squooshed
Freeze a frame about moods the same which we can continue
Right behind the bush
You'll stay with me
Eye Know this
But not because of all my Earthly treasures
Or regardless to the fact that I'm Posdnuos
But because
Eye know I love you better
May I cut this dance to introduce myself as
The chosen one to speak
Let me lay my hand across yours
And aim a kiss upon your cheek
The name's Plug Two
And from the soul I bring you
The D.A.I.S.Y. of your choice
May it be filled with the pleasure principle
In circumference to my voice
About those other Jennys I reckoned with
Lost them all like a homework excuse
This time the Magic Number is two
Cause it takes two, not three, to seduce
My destiny of love is brought to an apex
Sex is a mere molecule
In this world of love that I have for you
It's true
Eye know I love you better
Now it's time to let this rhyme style
Get somewhat poured in the mold
Hold my hand and we'll pick my plantation
Of daisies for a bouquet of soul
Life will begin at the cut of a rim
Take it as filled to the rim as in brim
Squeeze your stoop like Betty Boop
We'll make Campbell Alphabet Soup
And spell Plug One's within
Forward march is the say
When transistors will play
Come into bed is the move
Dolby Sound will be then top crown
When I put the needle into your groove
I got a good thing
And in full swing
I show this in gifts, words or letters
But even without those three
Eye know you'll be close to me cause
Eye know I love you better
It's I again and the soul that I send
Is taking steps to reach your heart
Any moment you feel alone
I can fill up your empty part
We can ascend 'til we reach De La heaven
And in a spin we'll hit the top ten
Then we can meet Mr Stuckie
And Pos' brother Lucky will preach
Let the wedding begin
Shot by an arrow of cupid
Through the string of a G-clef
My dear, I claim you're deaf
And if you can hear me, by golly gee
Trugoy is ready for what you possess
We could live in my Plug Two home
And on Mars where we could be all alone
And we make a song for two
Picture perfect things and I sing of how
Eye know I love you better

Love that De La Soul is being reintroduced to a new generation! RIP Trugoy
first heard them on a Gorillaz album. then I saw an old ass photo of Charlie from Anthrax wearing a De La tee.. glad I'm finally jamming to them
THE NEW PHASE!!!❤
Life seemed so simple back then...it wasn'tbut in Hip-Hop, the air was fresh...
Way ahead of their time. What a beat
Sampled from steely dan - peg
De La Soul was the 1st group in Hip hop history in my opinion to make pure art. Every song and album in their catalog was and still is lyrical & sonically sound art pieces.
One of my all-time favourites. 1989 was such a good year.
The year I fell in love with HipHop (and music, in general) 😍🤩 Bless De La, Public Enemy and all the pioneers that raised my consciousness! 🙏🏼
Agreed. I graduated from high school and this album was there to usher me into manhood, a new world. Love these dudes forever. Rest in paradise, Trugoy.
i wore this tape out, lost it but always remembered these songs
Proud to be in the first few hundred listens for the digital D.A.I.S.Y. Age🌻☮️🌸 Love to Trugoy and the rest ❤
lets run it up!!
The Sol on the name is fltting❤️🙏
RIP Trugoy🏵
🕊️🙏🏾👑
I'm lo-key ashamed that I, as a 43 year old hip hop head, have never heard this song until the new TMNT movie came out. How dafuqq did I miss this?!!
But you're here now, this was probably the best time of my life during this time
de la soul is my favourite. Otis redding was my Papous favourite before he passed. Dock of the bay was his favourite by him, so every time i hear those whistles i get emotional but damn this is an amazing track
This song is crate digging at it's finest. For De La & Prince Paul to find all of these samples from different artists and genres and arrange them to gel sonically is amazing. All in perfect tune especially the horn and flute samples. Then to lay the Otis Redding whistling on top??🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Peace to Plugs 1,3 AND 4
Peaceful journey Plug 2🕊️
All these De La Soul songs coming out now feels just like it did back in 1989...we're on the cutting edge all over again...
This song sits in a special place in my heart...1989!
I literally got stuck on "Eye Know" from the first day I bought the album. I didn't know how the rest of the album sounded until the next day. Easily one of my favorite songs, the other two being "DAISY Age" and "Potholes In My Lawn".
@Fredicago Illanoise I hear you man I loved it and it was a great time in Hip hop! I'm glad we lived it!
@@rodneychassagne7243 Me too. So many dope, albums came out around that time. The same day I bought 3 Feet High I bought DJ Cash Money & Marvelous album. A couple weeks later Kool G Rap & DJ Polo, 3XDope and Just-Ice all dropped albums and I got them. Special Ed first album came out a little after that too.
@Fredicago Illanoise yeah man I agree I remember getting the D.O.C cassette from the mall in 89. Hip hop was exciting and diverse
@@rodneychassagne7243I wish I had heard of this group sooner when I was growing up in the 90's. But I was way too young being born in 1987.
When you lived this rap ish.... it's truly emotional. RIP🌹 TRUGOY 🥹
One of my favorite De La Soul songs ever undeniable masterpiece 😎😇😇😇😇😇🔥🔥🔥
2024 and this sounds just as fresh as ever
RIP Trugoy the dove
DeLa Soul lives forever 💙
My therapist recommended I listen to a favorite song with full attention from start to finish & here I am. This song gives me the feels of everything good. Thanks De La Soul for giving this to the world. May you be onto better things Trugoy 💙
RIP Trugoy from Japan😢❤
Fly high dove 🕊️
Brilliant how this was based on the original 'Peg' by Steely Dan. This probably was my favourite song from this hip hop era! Fantastic!
De La Alma! Love this classic! RIP Trugoy🙏🕊🎤
Greetings from the future!
So good... explain s my relationship with my polar bear....
I just noticed Prince Paul low filtered the "Peg" sample during the choruses so that the music on top wouldn't clash with the horns. Every time I listen to 3 Feet High & Rising, I notice something I didn't hear when I first heard the album.
All time Classic 🔥🔥🔥
2023 summer song, I’m calling it rn
They used it in tmnt mutant mayhem
Thank you for this Masterpiece!
Love tha soul❤🎉😊
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorite songs on Three Feet High and Rising. In my top three Hip Hop albums of all time.
Masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Le classique de cet année 80 90 Foxy one ❤😅
🖤🥷 Absolutely No Fakin d Funk eh 🙏🎶🪄 Classic
Takes me back to my senior year in high school. The wonderful memories!
I know it’s only been a few days, but I’m surprised these songs only have a couple thousand views right now.
dame here cuz of the new TMNT movie. This song hit!
It definitely aged like a fine wine.
This is one of my favorite song.
Da Real Artistic Music.
De la
I grow up on this shit🎉
*chefs kiss*
hip hop! ❤
My favorite rapper song ever ❤🤣
I'm not now and never have been a major fan of hip-hop, but I regard this song and most of the beastie boys' 1989 paul's boutique as awesomely great. It's too bad that hardly any other works from this genre were this catchy or melodic.
Check out early A Tribe Called Quest. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Steely Dan sampled nicely
This was da 1
O beat todo é foda, mas quando entra o assobio, os metais e o "Eye know I love you better" é a+ 🔥
This kids is what music sounded like before it got stupid...
It's not just Ottis Redding, it's mainly Steely Dan.
SilvaGunner brought me here from Bubbline PAL Version Super Mario Odyssey
rip trugoy🕊️🕊️🕊️
Tartarugas Ninja Caos Mutante
Trugoy!
:oldschool
Where is Otis Redding on this song?
The sample is from Steely Dan’s “ Peg”🤔
The whistling is from "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay"
The whistling you hear the the back ground
“Wipe your Lottos on the mat” if you know you know
🔥🔥🔥
