The Magic Number
David J. Jolicoeur, Kelvin Mercer, Paul Houston, Robert L Dorough, Vincent Lamont Mason
(Got to have soul)
Three
That's the magic number
Yes, it is
It's the magic number
Somewhere in this hip-hop soul community
Was born three, Mase, Dove and me
And that's the magic number
(What does it all mean?)
Difficult preaching is Posdnuos' pleasure
Pleasure and preaching starts in the heart
Something that stimulates the music in the measure
Measure in the music, raised in three parts
Casually see but don't do like the Soul
'Cause seein' and doin' are actions for monkeys
Doin' hip hop hustle, no rock and roll
Unless your name's Brewster, 'cause Brewster's a Punky
Parents let go 'cause there's magic in the air
Criticizing rap shows you're out of order
Stop, look and listen to the phrasin', Fred Astaires
And don't get offended while Mase do-se-do's your daughter
A tri-camera rolls since our music's now set
Fly rhymes are stored on a DAISY production
It stands for "Da Inner Sound Y'all" and y'all can bet
That the action's not a trick, but showing the function
(What does it all mean?)
Everybody wants to be a deejay
Everybody wants to be an emcee
But being speakers are the best
And you don't have to guess
De La Soul posse consists of three
And that's the magic number
This here piece of the pie
Is not dessert but the course that we dine
And three out of every darn time
The effect is "Mmmm" when a daisy grows in your mind
Showing true position, this here piece is
Kissin' the part of the pie that's missin'
Where that negative number fills up the casualty
Maybe you can subtract it
You can call it your lucky partner
Maybe you can call it your adjective
But odd as it may be
Without my one and two, where would there be?
My three, Mase Pos and Me
And that's the magic number
(What does it all mean?)
Focus is formed by flaunts to the soul
Souls who flaunt styles gain praises by pounds
Common are speakers who honor the scroll
Scroll written daily creates a new sound
Listeners listen 'cause this here is wisdom
Wisdom of a Speaker, a Dove and a Plug
Set aside a legal substance to feed 'em
For now get 'em high off this dialect drug
Time is a factor so it's time to count
Count not the negative actions of one
Speakers of soul say it's time to shout
Three forms the soul to a positive sum
Dance to this fix and flex every muscle
Space can be filled if you rise like my lumber
Advance to the tune but don't do the hustle
Shake, rattle, roll to my magic number
Now you may try to subtract it
But it just won't go away
Three times one?
(What is it?)
(One, two, three)
And that's the magic number
(Yo, what's up?)
(One, two, three)
(I say, children, what does it all mean?)
(Whoa-whoa-whoa, one, two, three)
(I wouldn't lie to you)
(No more no less, that's the magic number)
(No more no less)
(What it is?)
(No more no less)
(Is this the future?)
(No more no less)

Three
Trois
That's the magic number
C'est le nombre magique
Yes, it is
Oui, c'est ça
It's the magic number
C'est le nombre magique
Somewhere in this hip-hop soul community
Quelque part dans cette communauté de l'âme hip-hop
Was born three, Mase, Dove and me

Et c'est le nombre magique
(What does it all mean?)
(Qu'est-ce que tout cela signifie ?)
Difficult preaching is Posdnuos' pleasure
Prêcher difficilement est le plaisir de Posdnuos

Le plaisir et la prédication commencent dans le cœur
Something that stimulates the music in the measure
Quelque chose qui stimule la musique dans la mesure
Measure in the music, raised in three parts
Mesure dans la musique, élevée en trois parties
Casually see but don't do like the Soul
Voir occasionnellement mais ne pas faire comme l'âme
'Cause seein' and doin' are actions for monkeys
Car voir et faire sont des actions pour les singes
Doin' hip hop hustle, no rock and roll
Faire du hip hop hustle, pas de rock and roll
Unless your name's Brewster, 'cause Brewster's a Punky
Sauf si ton nom est Brewster, car Brewster est un Punky
Parents let go 'cause there's magic in the air
Les parents lâchent prise car il y a de la magie dans l'air
Criticizing rap shows you're out of order
Critiquer les concerts de rap montre que tu es hors de propos
Stop, look and listen to the phrasin', Fred Astaires
Arrête, regarde et écoute la phraséologie, Fred Astaires
And don't get offended while Mase do-se-do's your daughter
Et ne te sens pas offensé pendant que Mase fait des pas de danse avec ta fille
A tri-camera rolls since our music's now set
Une tri-caméra roule puisque notre musique est maintenant prête
Fly rhymes are stored on a DAISY production
Des rimes volantes sont stockées sur une production DAISY
It stands for "Da Inner Sound Y'all" and y'all can bet
Cela signifie "Da Inner Sound Y'all" et vous pouvez parier
That the action's not a trick, but showing the function
Que l'action n'est pas un tour, mais montre la fonction
(What does it all mean?)
(Qu'est-ce que tout cela signifie ?)
Everybody wants to be a deejay
Tout le monde veut être un DJ

And three out of every darn time
Et trois fois sur chaque foutu temps
The effect is "Mmmm" when a daisy grows in your mind
L'effet est "Mmmm" quand une marguerite pousse dans votre esprit

Peut-être que vous pouvez le soustraire
