    Lyrics
    Mirror mirror on the wall
    Tell me mirror, what is wrong?
    Can it be my De La Clothes
    Or is it just my De La Soul?
    What I do ain't make-believe
    People say I sit and try
    But when it comes to being De La
    It's just me myself and I
    It's just me myself and I
    It's just me myself and I
    It's just me myself and I
    Now you tease my Plug One style
    And my Plug One spectacle
    You say Plug One and Two are hippies
    No we're not, thats pure plug bull
    Always pushing that we formed an image
    There's no need to lie
    When it comes to being Plug One
    It's just me myself and I
    It's just me myself and I
    It's just me myself and I
    It's just me myself and I
    Proud, I'm proud of what I am
    Poems I speak are Plug Two type (type)
    Please oh please let Plug Two be
    Himself, not what you read or write
    Write is wrong when hype is written
    On the Soul, De La that is
    Style is surely our own thing
    Not the false disguise of showbiz
    De La Soul is from the soul
    And in fact I can't deny
    Strictly from the Dan called Stuckie
    And from me myself and I
    It's just me myself and I
    It's just me myself and I
    It's just me myself and I
    Glory Glory Halleluh
    Glory for Plug One and Two
    But that glory's been denied
    By kizids and dookie eyes
    People think they diss my person
    By stating I'm darkly pack
    I know this so I point at Q-Tip
    And he states, "Black is Black"
    Mirror mirror on the wall
    Shovel chestnuts in my path
    Just keep all nuts twistin up
    So I don't get an aftermath
    But if I do I'll calmly punch them
    In the 4th day of July
    Cause they tried to mess with third degree
    That's me myself and I
    It's just me myself and I
    It's just me myself and I
    It's just me myself and I
    Contestant number four, do you have the answers?
    Uhh…I saw, at the tip of my tongue...

    My uncle Sylvester Covin is in this video (Heavy set guy with fur hat, big chains, and sunglasses). Ironically, he passed away suddenly 6 days after Trugoy.

    I love this period of time in music - great music, great fashion, great vibes. Back when there used to be genres of rap instead of everyone trying to do the same thing.

    When I was young I hated the rap that was on the radio and was talking to an older guy about it and he wrote down a couple artists I should listen to and DLS was one of them. Took me on a journey of discovering hip hop in a whole new way and this music became a huge part of my life, and I'll be forever grateful

    Props to De La for this amazing album and Parliament Funkadelic for the source of amazing samples on this track. Hip Hop was my gateway to 60s/70s jazz and funk!

    Been a fan of rap since the late 70s, but not until this album and the whole native tongues movement could I relate to the rappers themselves. Iconoclasts doing their own thing their own way without concern for what anyone else thought about it. De La Soul is ALIVE!!!

    Absolutely grieving over our loss of Trugoy.
    Back in the late 80s/early 90s, hiphop became one of the most important influences in my life and carried me through puberty and into adulthood.
    DLS is a bedrock of talent! Thank you to all DLS members, crew, and fans all over the world!

    I grew up in the 2010’s and my parents almost exclusively made me listen to 70’s and 80’s pop music. This was the first rap song ever heard in my life and it’ll almost always hold a special place in my heart.

    55 year old Northern California white man, married for 26 years, raised 2 boys to grown men, been in Biotech Industry for most of my adult life, grew up on Rock, Rap, and Country. Still a Top 5 album for me, still listen to cuts off it once or twice a week. I miss bumping this in '89 out of my 4 door Datsun 510, beat to shit but had MTX 10"s in a custom box in the back because... priorities. Poor community college student. Best friends during that period were African-American Theo, starting running back at the local high school making his way through life, Pacific Islander Ernie, built like a garage freezer had a heart of gold, and curly haired White Boy me. Lost touch with them over time, Theo passed away about 6 years ago, Ernie disappeared long before that. But this album always brings me back to how much I loved Theo and Ernie, and though we were all barely surviving financially, how much simpler life was. Spittin' game at girls, eating fries in the college cafe, driving to SF on Saturday nights pretending to be ballers. Man I miss those days.
