Anyway, I'd like to take this time out
|
to bow before his divine majesty
|
|
[Ricky] Oh your majesty...
|
[Slick] Hmm?

[Ricky] Can I kiss your hand?
|
[Slick] Mm-hmm

|
[Slick] Enough!

Well, it was one of those days -- not much to do
|
I was chillin downtown, with my old school crew
|
I went into a store -- to buy a slice of pizza
|
And bumped into a girl, her name was Mona -- what?
|
Mona Lisa (what?) *singing* Mona Lisa, so men made you..
|
YouknowhatI'msayin? So I said, "Excuse me, dear
|
my gosh, you look nice!
|
Put away your money
|
I'll buy that slice!"
|
She said, "Thanks - I'd rather a slice of you
|
I'm just kidding, but that's awfully nice of you"
|
The compliment showed she had a mind in her
|
And when I smiled (PING!) I almost blinded her
|
She said, "Great Scott! Are you a thief?
|
Seems like you have a mouth full of gold teeth"
|
Ha-ha, hah! Had to find that funny
|
So I said, "No child, I work hard for the money
|
And calling me a thief? Please! Don't even try it (Right!)
|
Sit down eat your slice of pizza, and be quiet"
|
She almost got cut short -- you know, scissors
|
She tried to disrespect WHO?! The Grand Wizard
|
Me! "Well what's your name, son?"
|
"MC Ricky D," but not to be so harsh I said to Mona Li-hee
|
"I'm.. sorry and I know that's low class (uhh, yeah)
|
Please sit, and tell me a little about your past"
|
She said, "Well I got courage, and I don't like porridge (uh-huh)
|
I've never been to college, but I've got crazy knowledge (uh-huh)
|
Over eighteen and my eyes are green (uh-huh)
|
I wear more gold than that man on A-Team (uh-huh, uh-huh)
|
Trim, slim, (yeah) and I'm also light skinned
|
Best believe Mona's a virgin"
|
A virgin?! Honey needed a slap
|
She tried to tell me she's a virgin -- with her yea wide gap
|
I said, "It don't matter, see, I'm not picky (word)
|
Let me spell my name out for you, it's Ricky:
|
R - Ravishing
|
I - Impress
|
C - Courageous; so careless
|
K - for the Kangols which I've got
|
that I wear everyday and
|
Y - why not?
|
To fight's not right that I recite and I'm..
|
quite polite like Walter Cronkite"
|
Well, just about then, Trevor my friend came in
|
He said, "Hey Rick, don't you know playin with these snakes is a sin?!?"
|
He grabbed me by my shirt and pulled me right out the store
|
He said, "I don't want to see you playin with these lowlifes no more!
|
Now come along, we have a party to attend
|
With some real mature women and some more of her friends"
|
He hailed down a cab and he waited for a minute
|
And as the cab came, he thrusted me in it!
|
And as we were leavin and drivin along
|
I could hear a melody as Mona sang a song
|
|
[excerpt from "Walk On By" - D. Warwick]
|
"If you see me walking down the street
|
And I start to cry.. each time we meet..
|
Walk on by.. walk on by..
|
Foolish pride
|
That's all that I have left, so, let me hide
|
The pain and the hurt that you gave me
|
When you said goodbye..
|
You walked on by.."
