[Beat changes to Maybe {Remix}]
|
|
[Pharrell talking]
|
Yup
|
This is for all of the consors of fine rhyme you know?
|
I dug deep in the cellars of my mind for this
|
I love y'all niggaz
|
I just wanna air some things out
|
Dear Hip-Hip, ya know?
|
Dear Hip-Hop
|
Dear Hip-Hop:
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
I got a cult following, N*E*R*D is far from Pop G
|
No radio, light spins since the video drop see
|
I'm the turbion of this shit, like Mozart and Bach B
|
I'm-ma show you niggaz what time it is, niggaz watch me
|
My falsetto been hot, like the Sopranos five seasons
|
Alto beats +Grindin+ soundin like +Frontin'+, Niggaz is reachin'
|
I pimped across that stage nigga tipsy off that reason
|
Snatch that Grammy, when I joke I call it G-Thing
|
Ask Robin Leach. How many V-somthins up in my fortress
|
Like Russle Crowe in +Gladiator+, so many fucking horses
|
Porsches, [?] thats white, I call it Ghost
|
Phantom named Nightmare, night scares people the most
|
I introduce BAPE to the world, 400 nigga out fast
|
Favorite group White Stripe, R. Kelly, Kanye and Outcast
|
A R&B producer, I was sittin on the shelf
|
A Ralph Laurenic nerd then Noreaga gave me help
|
But my samples wouldn't clear, and I couldn't rock a wig
|
And they didn't have pimp cups, and dancin wasn't my gig
|
But shoulder brushin, blazers and trucker hats I did
|
And the only niggaz I ain't work with was Tupac and Big
|
Ha ha
|
|
[Chorus]
|
You and me
|
BAPE, Ice Cream and BBC (Yup)
|
Just because we skate down the road (Niggaz)
|
Don't mean we can't slam Phantom Doors (Bitches)
|
You and me
|
BAPE, Ice Cream and BBC
|
Just because we skate down the road ( love y'all man)
|
Don't mean we can't slam Phantom Doors (You have no idea)
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Now er'body keep asking me about Kelis
|
She's dope with or without me til I die thats what I speak
|
I never run to the tabloids and run around here grinnin'
|
I'm a peaceful, Rolls Royce drivin' black John Lennon
|
psychedelic beats, medals on my Solder jacket
|
Fuckin the baddest bitches in fashion, niggaz could you imagine?
|
Ma, why you even breathin? Why you even talkin'?
|
Put my Big Bang in your Black Hole, I'm Stephen Hawkins
|
If the mind is full of water, can you believe I'm walkin'
|
On your thoughts trust me niggaz what I've achieved is awesome
|
Mind readers you think you know me, proceed with caution
|
Ohup! Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind you lost him
|
I cried when my grandma died, Bob says Josh says
|
If Josh short for Jesus, then I'll sing what Bob says
|
Oh small diamonds are blahsay blahsay
|
Remember 20 carot soilitares can not be paveyed
|
And while my heart has lots of scars hidden
|
My beats is star ridden, givin trucks and jeeps and cars rythem
|
Accompanied by 40 bars spittin, not from the prospective of Nasism
|
But as N*E*R*D goes as I start peni-trating minds unlikely fitting
|
Ghetto girls and thugs liking the album guitar driven, Yup!
|
Ghetto girls to girls from the valley
|
To niggaz that skate to niggaz that pump crack in they alleys
|
I'm the Black Card, Timothy Leary, John Lennon lookin for my Yoko
|
Hopin my wife hears me
|
And maybe she'll have more +Interscope+ and not be a +Virgin+
|
Who bought my album, and who will prefer the regular version that goes
|
|
[Maybe {original} chours plays fast]
|
|
See, maybe [Haha]
|
There was something wrong [Hooo!]
|
And you were telling me no wrong [What up Black radio? Daddy loves you]
|
See, maybe [Ahhhhohhhhhhhhhh!]
|
The laugh's on me [Yeahhhh]
|
And life was telling me a joke (joke, joke joke)
|
|
[Maybe {Remix} scratchs back in]
|
|
Owwww!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
You and me
|
BAPE, Ice Cream and BBC
|
Just because we skate down the road (Mean what?)
|
Don't mean we can't slam Phantom Doors (Nigga nigga)
|
You and me
|
BAPE, Ice Cream and BBC
|
Just because we skate down the road
|
Don't mean we can't slam Phantom Doors (nigga nigga)
|
|
[Pharrell talking]
|

|
P.S.. daddy loves you
|
Yours truely
