   (Mercer)
   Plug One, Plug Two, Plug One, Plug Two
   Plug One, Plug Two, Plug One
   
   POS:
   Tell me what's more essential
   Rap lines, party past nine,
   Or reading which is fundamental
   Tell me what's more pollution
   Black fog, burning log
   Or infested prostitution
   Tell me what's more appealing
   Fast food job, corn on the cob
   Or interstate drug dealing
   Tell me what's more tantalising
   Flip flop, skeezer lies and props
   Or Three Feet High And Rising
   Tell me, what's more?
   
   DOVE:
   Tell me what's more demanding
   A dominant race, a fad called base
   Or peace and understanding
   Tell me what's more neglected
   Teaching our seeds the fact there's greed
   Or words being said in a record
   Tell me what's more pathetic
   A lallygag lush, a habit to cuss
   Or a lawsuit filed on a medic
   Tell me what's more amusing
   Comic strip, or break that hip
   Or what Prince Paul's producing
   Tell me, what's more?
   
   POS:
   Tell me what's more old-fashioned
   Lemonade, a black man's fade
   Or a kiss that's soaked in passion
   
   DOVE:
   Tell me what's more secretive
   Love looks, a diary book
   Or the De La style us speakers give
   
   POS:
   Tell me what's more off-tempo
   Wearing pink, a fizzy Lipton drink
   Or a brother with acne and dimples
   
   DOVE:
   Tell me what's more confusing
   A Rubik's cube, a dusted dude
   Or a figure in which one is choosing
   Tell me, what's more?
   
   MASE:
   Yo Pos and Dove, stand clear to be plugged up...
   Ah the hell with that, I don't have time for playin'
   with this, just tell me what's going on, I wanna know
   what's going on, go ahead, Pos and Dove, tell me what's
   going on, I just wanna know what's happening man, tell me
   what's going on, I'd just like to say what's up to the
   Jungle Brothers, I'd like to say what's up to the Quest,
   I'd like to say what's up to Monie, I'd like to say what's
   up to Latifah, Mike G in the house, Prince Paul, what's up
   man, this is P.A. Mase and I'd like to say, cool DJ Red Alert!
   What's up, man? All right okay, we outta here, peace y'all!
