[Intro]
|
Are you ready for me?
|
Better let me know
|
Are you ready for me?
|
Better let me know
|
Are you ready for me?
|
Better let me know
|
You'd better, you'd better do whatever's clever baby
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
How can you be down?
|
you gotta do whatever's clever
|
So that I will stick around
|
you gotta do whatever's clever
|
And you don't want to waste your time
|
you gotta do whatever's clever
|
You gotta go somewhere you gotta do whatever's clever
|
If you wanna step to me
|
You gotta do whatever's clever
|
So I'll listen carefully..
|
You gotta do whatever's clever
|
You gotta say whatever, hear whatever, mean whatever, hear whatever,
|
Feel whatever, think whatever do whatever's clever
|
|
So you want to roll with me,
|
Here's advice that you should heed
|
Common sense is all you need
|
To avoid my thunder
|
First of all talk to my face
|
Not the view below my waist
|
How we gonna conversate
|
While your head's down under?
|
Stop where are you going
|
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
|
Stop, this is worth knowing
|
So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.
|
Stop where are you going
|
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
|
Stop, this is worth knowing
|
So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.
|
|
[Chorus repeat]
|
|
Here's a very simple truth
|
"Monkey see is monkey do"
|
So you're never getting through
|
If your boys are busters
|
Finally please understand
|
All I have is by my hand
|
On my own I'm making ground
|
I am my own woman.
|
Stop where are you going
|
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
|
Stop, this is worth knowing
|
So a brother can choose if he steps my way.
|
Stop where are you going
|
If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
|
Stop, this is worth knowing
|
So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.
|
|
[Chorus repeat]
|
[Intro repeat (x2)]
