chorus (George Clinton from Funkadelic's "Let's Take It to the People"):
|
"Everthing is fair when you're livin in the city"(8X)
|
|
Q-Tip:
|
Lookin at Miss Lane, it was the fast lane
|
Barely knows her name, struck by fame
|
She just got a Benz, she rides with her friends
|
Gotta keep her beeper in her purse to make ends
|
Rollin down the block, checkin out the spots
|
She winks at the cops, always give her props
|
She knows she's the woman, can't nobody touch her
|
Hangs out for the loot, makes her papes from the gutter
|
Tried to make my moves on Miss Lane, she called me young boy
|
Told her not to dis me I just want to be your love toy
|
You young boy, my love toy, I doubt that very highly
|
Just because you rhyme don't mean I'll let you try me
|
Business oriented, egos never dented
|
Always sweet scented, if it's business, she meant it
|
Distractions never hurt, always did the work
|
Always was alert, she never got jerked
|
Queen of the feats, thrive to compete
|
Love the funky beats while she drive down the street
|
She was justified, couldn't get a job
|
Had to feed her family, so she had to play, then rob
|
Pullin out the ooh wop, listenin to doo-wop
|
You don't have to say a word
|
(gunshots)That's all ya heard
|
|
chorus(4X)
|
|
She's not a big kahuna, wish I met her sooner
|
Instead, I met her later, my love is much greater
|
Put me on her roster, to rid her of imposters
|
And to sell the buddah for the sexy drug ruler
|
Love is my motive, now I'm drug promotive
|
Plus I needed duckets to fill up my buckets
|
Supplied me with the squeezy to make my life easy
|
Now I'm missing action for this fatal attraction
|
But don't you let me catch you with your joint up in these bitches
|
And don't you even dare to plan a plot upon my riches
|
Cuz if you play me out, I think I'll let ya be
|
I'll be damned if I let a brotha try to gas me
|
I played my cards well, try to live swell
|
For the G, I would sell, cuz I was deep in hell
|
But then I really wasn't, she had a fly cousin
|
Who would give me booty on the side of my cutie
|
Elaine, she kinda new, that I would do the do
|
But she didn't tear, I did my work with care
|
That's all that really mattered, he money never splattered
|
As long as she was paid, she was in the shade
|
You can't really blame her for holdin on a flamer
|
Society taught her, but they didn't tame her
|
A ten clip salute, hunny heres a troop
|
She will never stop until she reach the top
|
Top, top...
