Verse One: Parrish Smith
|
|
I was coolin in my car one day you see
|
Clockin a double nickel on the L-I E
|
When it dawned on us that it was, ten o'clock
|
Turned on the tunes to hear the DJ rock
|
The hands got to clappin, the fingers start to snappin
|
E now was coolin, Brooklyn spirits we was snappin
|
Comin in and out of fantasies on how large we can get
|
Coolin in rocks and Benzes with the ground effect kits
|
I wanted black, E was on the two-tone
|
Stupid boomin system with the hand-free phone
|
The dream gets better and I would like to go on
|
but I was brought back to reality by a toot of a horn
|
Smoke everywhere, oh just what we needed
|
A meeting at twelve, and the car overheated
|
Feelin real low, low enough to die
|
Holdin up traffic, on the FDR drive
|
We had to play ourselves, in the fresh dipped gear
|
E Double had to push while MD steered
|
There went our dreams, to cool with golden limos
|
And alls we kept sayin was please listen to my demo (listen to my demo)
|
|
Please listen to my demo (3X)
|
Please-please-please-ple-please listen to my demo
|
|
Verse Two: Erick Sermon
|
|
In the year eighty-seven when we first took off
|
Then I jumped on P-6-8 and broke North
|
Walked the big city streets of Manhattan
|
Buildings, the whole nine yards, so enchantin
|
Thinkin if we got a chance, we could rock it
|
Funky fresh demo tape in my pocket
|
We was walkin, and got dissed twice today
|
Then we stopped at 1974 Broadway
|
We walked in with grins on our chins
|
And P had juice with Mr. Virgil Simms
|
He played the tape and we started to laugh
|
Played ?if it was sock? innocent from backstabs
|
People start to smile inside we buckwhylin
|
Sayin this all started back from freestylin
|
They liked it, and they was very kind
|
But me and P was like, "Yo G, where do we sign?"
|
Went in the backroom, things was luvy duvy
|
Met Ron Resnick, and his partner Juggy
|
It felt good, as I remembered
|
We signed the dotted line, now we Fresh Record members
|
Had dreams, of fancy cars and limos
|
And I wanted was somebody, to listen to my demo
|
|
Please listen to my demo
|
Please-please-please-ple-please listen to my demo
|
Please listen to my demo
|
Please-please-please-ple-please listen to my demo
|
Please listen to my demo
|
Please-please-please-ple-please listen to my demo
|
listen to my demo
|

|

|
