   POS:
   (What's the subject?)
   The Shwingalo, hot damn
   (Is Posdnuos gonna start?)
   I am, I am
   (And by the order of Shwing on hand)
   I present to you the Preacher Man
   Peace everyone, everyone I hope
   Plate is not a caper, plate is not a hoax
   Is it is the now step, labeled Shwingalo
   Shopper brag a basket, fill it to the bro
   What's the Shwingalokate? Question me instead.
   Mental is the mood, whether live or dead
   Level is the groove when I lead the led
   But hip is my lip when I'm Shwinging it

   DOVE:
   (What's the next step?)
   It's the fool of the clan
   (Is he down with the Shwing?)
   I am, I am
   (And by the order of Swing on hand)
   I present to you, the whole shalam
   Last was the gas, flower by the pound
   Shoo, puppy tough, shoo, flower power hound
   Season of the Shwing is sound and it's bound
   90 got the gift so lift from the ground
   Speak me an age, age at the dough
   Feed me the donut, feed me the O
   School me with the new 'cause the new
   Kept me fed with the brew
   I'm glued to the stew and I'm Shwinging it
   
   Breathe me the out, breathe me the in
   Send it with a skit neither friend nor begin
   Label it a Shwing, brother come for the win
   Catch me the border, must start to begin
   90 got the knack of the Soul, grab a bit
   90 proved them wrong to those who commit
   Dis to the hit list, pitched by the hit
   Caught by the herds of those in the pit
   Pull me a puff of the blunt as it breeds
   This benefit's just what you need
   Just because I'm fallin', saved by the weed
   With dred, 'cause you know indeed I'm shwinging it

   POS:
   Constructed like an apple but roll like a grape
   Try with the games 'cause the fools'll take shape
   Stuff to the too tough, grave is in the groove
   Sop it like Sound, yo honey make a move
   Shufflin' your feet, that's stiffer than a nap
   Open up an eardrum, don't wait for the cap
   Sip a third of lager, extract the waste
   Tell me tell me tell me, can you get a case?
   Never oops honey, dope not a threat
   Peace be found on your color telly set
   Pick up the proof for the stool pigeon sing
   Shwing a load o' dat, 'cause I must put Shwing
