[Verse 1] Riding one day on my freestyle fix Jamming to a tape Scott La Rock had mixed I said to myself, "This tape sound funky" Riding past a 116th Street junkie Thought I saw Denise but I was only assuming Took another look and that butt was booming Did a little trick on my freestyle fix And I was right beside the girl, she was all on the tip She said, "Hi, DJ KRS" She kissed me on my neck so I gave her a peck She said, "I'm really in a hurry so I cannot wait If you give me a lift, while we ride we'll debate" She jumped on my bike, I said, "Huh, what's your stop?" She said, "Right around the corner to the crack spot If you buy me a crack I'll know how to act But if you don't, you might as well step back" I said, "Now how the hell we jump off to this? I'm doing you a favor, I'm giving you a lift" She said,"KRS, you know how it go" I said, "Yeah, you little— it seems that you're a ho" I did a little trick on my freestyle fix And she was right on the ground looking after it, because

This crack-era, reggae-style jam is about girls trading sex for crack rocks. The original version was a beatbox and slackness jam a la Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick’s “La Di Da Di”. It appeared on the B-side of BDP’s debut single, “South Bronx”.
The album remix features brand new production and censored lyrics. The word “pussy” (the “P” of the title) is replaced with “girlies” and a few other mild cusses are removed.
Contains loose vocal interpolations and samples of “Zungguzungguguzungguzeng” by Yellowman. Hi-Tek later sampled the same song for Black Star’s “Definition,” in which the artists pay homage to this song.
