One two  one two y'all
 One two  check it out
 Got my man CL
 Can't forget my man  Cee Lo
 Can't forget money earnin'  Mount Vernon
 Can't forget New Roch'
 Can't forget Westchester
 Can't forget umm.. CL  hit me off

 [CL Smooth]
 Feel the funk by the rap czars in sports cars
 Comin atcha now you listen at the feet of a master
 Caution  not Wheel of Fortune  here's a portion
 of untamedness, approachin famous, for miscellaneous
 The track get crackin though, unexplainable
 When I ground a jewel, sound is simply uncontainable
 Release my soul, but never make the mistake
 and play me like a stone cold fruitcake man
 Cause you can never fathom G the dough we want so
 My flow's the steadiest, to never leave us penniless
 Come on down to the very necessary legendary
 Well the more the merry stickin women type of villian
 The evidence relentless, I ride to see you magnatized
 Mecca to begin you're locked in no doubt
 The label better push this, so we can pay the rent
 You can season the pot well, but here's The Main Ingredient

 [Pete Rock]
 The Main Ingredient y'all
 The Main Ingredient
 Yo, The Main Ingredient y'all
 The Main Ingredient
 Yo, The Main Ingredient y'all
 The Main Ingredient
 The Main Ingredient y'all
 Yo, The Main Ingredient, kick it CL

 [CL Smooth]
 I know you wonder what kind of way is that to think:
 Put all the wackest rappers on a boat and let it sink
 Don't blink; next thing you see you spot is taken
 No Jax I'm Fakin' soldiers took the whole reservation
 On a scale of one to ten, we move rather swiftly
 Want a dimepiece but we'll settle for an eight-fifty
 Don't blow mine, your trump card is exposed to pages
 Now your beginning's already at the final stages
 Pumpin like 12 gauges from a shotgun blast
 I never saw people run so fast, aight?
 Stay up all night, then sleep all day
 Makin big Lucci and would have it no other way
 In conjunction, with the function, as stated
 Orchestrated by the Soul Brother nickel plated
 Tell the judge you were foolish, and try to be lenient
 Cause you never had the The Main Ingredient

 [Pete Rock]
 The Main Ingredient (7X)
 Hit the third verse off kid

 [CL Smooth]
 This cap is peeled layin joints like a minefield
 When dynamite's my rhythm this is East coast terrorism
 The Vernon-ville's Mecca Don, formin Voltron tactics
 Let off three verses and the crowd panics
 Get em all, the kingpin of the Player's Ball
 Now every tramp in your camp's going AWOL
 My Lucci situation is A Daily Operation
 On the strip, I refine you like Tales From the Crypt
 Right here's the real shit, and all that other's counterfeit
 Funk to let you know exactly what you're dealin with
 P-R slash, C-L smash, love to spend cash
 For proper livin, slidin up in wealthy women
 Stick your hand in my pants, and grab the mic's no crime
 Cause like Sisters With Voices, it's about time
 for you to respect my whole foundation precisely
 Be obedient, to The Main Ingredient

 [Pete Rock]
