CHORUS X 2 I’m ready to die and nobody can save me, I’m ready to die and nobody can save me, I’m ready to die, I’m ready to die, I’m ready to die and nobody can save me. VERSE ONE If I had a day to live there’d be no chilling, I’d be illin DL would play the villain, Killing all these phony Mc’s that would be living, Talking about how they wreck mics and got vision, Play all my jazz albums make beats and think songs, Tomorrow may be another day but I’ll be gone, Funeral arrangements, strangers looking, But never stopping, I’d take a limousine and go shopping, Intoxicated with liquor and start smoking, My heart would be sad but on the streets I’d be joking, No need to lie many will cry, As time goes by tell Stixx to play this song when I die, Once for me twice for my family, Three times for my peeps because it’s not easy, Never doing nothing under cover, I’d give all my assets to my brother and tell my girl I love her. CHORUS X 2 VERSE TWO I’ve got twenty-four hours to go my times near, I’m feeling scared, my mind is feeling weird, To calm my nerves I become a cigar puffer, It’s getting rougher, why do I have to suffer? I’ve got to live this day through it’s nearly over, Making calls from London down to Oklahoma, This day is Christmas and another birthday, This day could be my best day and also be my worst day, I’d rob the rich and give the poor some green (money) Building sess (marijuana) with my DJ so we’re feeling lean (high) Yo who wants to test me? You don’t want to stress me, I’ll slap the face of any policeman, who wanted to arrest me, Go to court the same day holding a can of Special Brew (beer) If the judge wants to front he’ll get slapped up too, Tell the jury F that if I see they have no sorrow, At least they get to see tomorrow. CHORUS X 2 VERSE THREE My residence is the H.A.C. streets, Plant trees in my memoriam for rhymes and beats, Whichever is the taller then for that I’ll be blessed, Listen to my tapes of (a tribe called) quest before they lay me to rest, Make sure I ain't stressed and my mind is easy, So my thoughts escalate to the highest degree, I’d think about my people’s each side of the equator, And the last word I’ll say is later (later, later) CHORUS X 2

VERSE 1 Check it, I’m from a place called Jazz does that sound insane? I’ve got that head nodding shit that leaves your neck in pain So don’t bring it unless you can withstand my streets And don’t sing it unless you come correct with the beats They say you live by the sword then you die by the sword I live by the beat and the bass and the chord So I’ll die by the beat and the bass and the chord On stage with an audience who love to applaud Yo I’m trying to make cheese the first rapper out here on five LP’s But still they won’t give me covers on these damn magazines They’re hating the D When all I’m trying to do is be the best I can be People ask me why I rap in an American voice? Like I’ve got to do it your way and I have no choice Further more do you question Glamma on his Jamaican grammar? No you don’t you just accept it to be Ragga So accept this to be hip-hop my man "Moto sa wa ge" to my peoples in Japan 5 years crack snares bring it to your ears If vinyl was for renting only you’d be in arrears Yo because you’d never want to bring this back Practicing your rhyme flow on this DL track The most consistent artist in the UK or is he?

Sounding real Funky I’m the Funky examiner DL the name you can’t forget to remember Scorpio stinging because I’m born in November Wait for green lights but I move on the amber Cut a beat down make your crew shout “timber” I know you thought I wouldn’t be much Now musically I can’t be touched because I’m so top notch Hopscotch and I always go Dutch Like Starsky and Hutch and such and such and such I’m like a game of chess the only thing Is I don’t need to move and I guess I still win Rugged like the ruggedest crew Rugged like a big kick drum with low mid EQ Have you ever heard of Washington Classics? Drop mad plastic filled with rap tactics As my records spin you get real dizzy Turntables hate me because I keep them so busy CHORUS X 2 CHANT X 4 Turntables hate me cos I keep em' so busy CHORUS X2

Hit Me 03:16
CHORUS Yo every time I rhyme yo the people say what, Yo every beat I make yo i give what i got, Yo every time I do a show they say you the man, From London down to Paris yo and even Japan, DJ! VERSE 1 (I’d like to show you what happens when) The beat hits me I rock a rhyme real quickly, Strategically it seems shifty, The volumes plus fifty whilst the snare drum lifts me, To simply tempt me to drain the tank down to empty, You can’t touch me let alone try and HIT ME, Get me a new mic yo, Because every time I’m picking one up another crowd gets hyped, Sucker MC's get wiped, I isn’t the type to get, Striped on an inland flight so take a hike, I do what I must and say what I like, I’m taking the light into the night and I’m making it right, Creating space like a megabyte so come and get me, Even if I was a snare drum you couldn’t HIT ME, DL the def lyricist beat terrorist, Like your arch nemesis tearing it up ever since, I dropped that Classic was the day album, That caused problems and left your whole crew to ransom, Like Mel Gibson you’re fronting like you’re filled with wisdom, So pick that microphone up and come get some, And take those rhymes back to your girl Britney, And ask her baby one more time can you HIT ME. CHORUS SCRATCHING Ladies and Gentlemen Underground will live forever baby, Yeah we represent, And one other thing, Yo my status is the baddest on the mic, You know what the facts is. (HIT ME) VERSE 2 It’s that bad boy lyricist DL rocking the floor, Like the best show I ever saw back in 94, A Tribe Called Quest now I’m on award tour, With a rhyme that is rugged and a beat that is raw yo, The veteran who makes you say he’s fantastic, And on plastic I guess I am enthusiastic, To drop tactics and flip it like a gymnastic, Slow or quickly you still couldn’t HIT ME Sometimes I keep it on the humble like a beggar, The arm legger, legger end of days like (Arnold) Schwarzenegger, Check my rhyme pattern its hectic, Like a car chase from Manhattan to the island of Staten, Pass the baton, you’re crazy kid this ain’t no relay, All I need is a decent mic a tight DJ, Some cool clothes and some shoes that’ll fit me, I’m rude like your little brother but you can’t HIT ME, I send this out to the labels over here, How many hip-hop acts get signed and last a year? How many go gold? How many go platinum? How many are still looking for deals? How many of them are still rapping? Yo this is how I came to change this, I’ll never be nameless, So what if I never get famous, I could give this up but it wouldn’t quit me, Every single time I hear a fat beat HIT ME CHORUS

INTRODUCTION Buttermilk and sex appeal VERSE 1 I once met this chick that my heart fell for, She had the type of face that was hard to ignore, Her skin was buttermilk and I had to adore, The way she moved her body she freaked my set, Forget about the queen of diamonds and the soul silhouette, She was more dangerous than playing Russian roulette, She had sex appeal, true savoir-faire, Her voice was smooth but refreshing like air, The best-looking lady that I’ve seen this year, Forget soul on ice; forget yeah she’s fine, I never met a chick that would treat me so kind, Looking dope from the front and dope from the behind yo, The type of girl to make you leave your crew, Because she’s so fine tuned when it comes to EQ, Yeah she’s got bottom and she’s got tops too, And if she got dissed to certain degree, Whoever done that would have to answer to me, Maybe they don’t see what on earth I see, So as I lay it down on the reel to reel, And shine on the beat like stainless steel, With buttermilk and sex appeal (what). CHORUS Buttermilk and sex appeal So as i lay it down on the reel to reel, And shine on the beat like stainless steel, With buttermilk and sex appeal. VERSE 2 Now I will jack this back like a CD, Love the way her voice sounds when she talks to me, So ill like the vision you see on TV, Ironically she like the way my voice sounds, The way it makes her move and it makes her get down, Say’s my rhymes are deep in other words profound, She’s sweet like the sugar from canes, We on the basis where we spark first names, It’s all about fun but we don’t play games, Yo baby girl come check me on Saturday, There’s so much stuff that I want to say, It can take me until tomorrow if I start today, But never mind see I don’t care, Buttermilk’s how you look because you’re so fair, Let my fingers tie knots in your dark brown hair, I will make time for you because you made time for me, No matter if my label needs me to Mc, Always my number one priority, So as I lay it down on the reel to reel, And shine on the beat like stainless steel, With buttermilk and sex appeal. CHORUS Buttermilk and sex appeal (x3) So as i lay it down on the reel to reel, And shine on the beat like stainless steel, It must be buttermilk and sex appeal. So as i lay it down on the reel to reel, And shine on the beat like stainless steel, With buttermilk and sex appeal. So as i lay it down on the reel to reel, And shine on the beat like stainless steel

CHORUS I’ve got twenty bars to bust it so now I demonstrate, Yo one times twenty and one times eight, One times twenty and one times eight, I’ve got twenty bars to bust it so now I demonstrate. VERSE 1 (DL) Hey yo que sera sera, what will be will be, I organize the fat track my name is Funky DL, Def Lyrics yo you know I get my loop on, Take off my twenty percent like a cornflakes coupon, I troop on them fools trying to get me down, Me and my DJ are the crew who produce the sound, You want to represent, boy you should of came up sooner, Because now we transmit like an FM tuner, At all frequencies so people get with it, Or your face will feel like Mike Tyson just hit it, Because I got the flow so kid what’s worse, Trying to battle DL, DJ Stixx or Versatile E, Yeah now you know the deal, A bad boy Mc showing how I fell, On the microphone so I suggest you take heed, Because I be blowing up like that movie Speed, Yeah you know the style you know the idea, And this is my chance to expand my career, So I’m going to take it and just keep rapping, Because in a year or two who will know what will happen. CHORUS VERSE 2 (VERSATILE E) Make room, it’s the individual number two, My rap got you open but you still don’t have a clue, Here’s my twenty bars of my twenty and eight, And I will wipe them out quickly like the food on my plate, Don’t debate come in and close the gate, Don’t like my styles being smuggled through another state, Beyond your 2000 skills I’m early you ain’t late, What you find hard I find just a piece of cake, Deliberately bad like uh hepatitis, While I’m busting rhymes you face your lyrical crisis, Ain’t the nicest but I flow like D-Nice, For that unusual flavor add some versatile spice, At night look at the sky the smallest star is me, I ain’t there no more is my shine that you can see, With light speed on my way through other star maps, At the same time have a break let my brain relax, Competition ain’t even that strong anymore, I got many worlds to study, learn and explore, My plans to go where no man has gone before, Because even radio heads ain’t ready for the shit I got in store. CHORUS X 2 I’ve got eight bars to bust it so now I demonstrate, Yo one sixteen that’s made by two eights, Yo one sixteen that’s made by two eights, I’ve got eight bars to bust it so now I demonstrate. VERSE 3 (DL) Hey yo I represent hip-hop and for that I’m proud, And just like Rakim I can move the crowd, So what you going to do when you see me approach, For you be the rookie and I be the coach, Yo that’s right DL is the name, And yo that’s right I can never be the same, And there’s one thing yo must understand, You see I’m going to represent and do the best I can. VERSE 4 (VERSATILE E) Hey yo I saw a Doctor about my swift metamorphosis, And totally rapidly mentally ill was the diagnosis, Asked the doctor yo tell me what’s going to happen, Redundancies in the music world is the prognosis, Oh well I could have guessed but what the hell, If rap were boxing on few would hear the first round bell, 20 20 8 8 classic move in the making, A move that’s true because you know were never faking. CHORUS X 2 I had twenty bars to bust it and then I had an eight, I got on the mic so I could demonstrate, First i had a twenty and then I had an eight, The names of this here is 20 20 8 8.

VERSE 1 Hey yo why do so many cats make a fake promise? I’d much rather hear the loud noise of silence Common sense is something that’s born to us, Considered some peoples that I was born to trust, Yo making my moves to be the best I can, And as the earth rotates become a wise man, I had my trust and honor in those, Who chose to imitate and front the fake pose but, Many times I saw they’re true colours, Deceiving and mistreating others, So called brothers and lovers and friends and foes, Trying to be sweet and innocent like a rose, Yo thinking I can’t see through you please, Lay down with Dogs and you’ll get up with Flea’s Persona is fake so don’t put it past me, And when it comes to cash you’re so crafty and nasty, This is an everyday story my friend, Of when people make promises again and again, And breaking them is their worst mistake, Because that’s how you realize that they’re fake. CHORUS La, la, la, la, it’s just the loud noise of silence La, la, la, la, it makes me want to get violent, La, la, la, la, but still I’ve got to chill, La, la, la, la, and do my own thing yo, VERSE 2 This aint’ no get back or no set back, It’s just a Spam, Cabbage and Neck back, Wet slap to make those phony’s realize, They’re causing mad pain and hurt in lives, check it, Thinking they’re wise guys but they’re jerks, Sparking off heat and making noise like fireworks, Living in Never land just like Peter Pan, I’m on your case like Yosemite Sam, Van Damm just like Jean Claude, But something fake and phony and fraud, Listen, it’s a real sensational fact, That the way people act and carry on is wack, And it makes me really wonder if they take Crack, And as a matter of fact it’s the way they react, When you stay on their case and you keep on their back, When you stay on their case and you keep on their back, Yo this is an everyday story my friend, Of when people make promises again and again, And breaking them is their worst mistake, Because that’s how you realize that they’re fake.

DJ Parris and DJ Stixx And Dillon was the engineer, what we would break yo he would fix I'm speaking in the musical not really in the physical The way that I manipulated sound was like a miracle Classic Was The Day was effortless that's why its timeless Even if I made it instrumental, made it rhyme less And nobody could ever say that Funky D was spineless I had a lot of haters but I killed them with my kindness So when I think back to them days when we were going places Met people on the basis of 'We recognize your faces! 'Forced the industry to have to listen when we speaking On the radio like almost every other weekend Even though it was voluntary to listen to our commentary Cats would say they get so much from someone who was solitary Then I made a following as loud as any carnival From music that was written in history as remarkable CHORUS X 4

CHORUS VERSE 1 (Yo check me out on this one yo) It was a Sunday I was chilling in my crib, Watching TV it was about this real fat kid, When my phone rang I heard this female say, She was feeling kind of lonely want to step my way, I knew her from way back, before I knew how to rap, Now she university and part timer in Gap, Sometimes she talks back but she knows how to act, Never been into killing, stealing or crack, Anyway may I say I ain’t busy today, You can chill at my crib and parlay whilst we play, Tekken 2 she taking me for Lei Wulong, Now she watch me lick shot like a 2, 2 gun, No fun because somehow I always get beat, No I ain’t a fighter but yes from the street, Sweet like caramel skin tone too, Say she want to go out and paint the town all blue, I mean red like a rose she had an ill pose, Rocked fresh kicks with real smooth clothes, Her favourite rap song was Oodles of O’s, And I was De La cos she got mad soul, On ice roll dice we coming up six, And there was no sign of the DJ Stixx, She was cool, never went the wrong way, Hey yo she got me relaxed playing tracks by Billie Holiday. VERSE 2 Yeah, Pete Rock, Abstract and yes Large Pro, She ain’t no Mc but she got mad flow, Like the foresaid above, define the word love, You got mind power but you ain’t got enough, Hey yo born in July if I so right remember, I turn a year older in the month before December, Scorpio sting and let loose the venom, Wearing stonewash denim she got no enemy, I stay cool when she in my presence, But if I ain’t relaxed then there is essence, Vanilla but no this ain’t no ice, ice baby, Is this the type of lady that can make me go crazy? Maybe, now we just talking about living, Sipping soft drinks just chilling, illin, Make me get better like I’m on penicillin, Now we like a duet, tight you know the feeling, Appealing, 2am and she tired, Work in the morning she don’t want to get fired, But I recline on a ill baseline, Looking deep in her eyes trying to read her mind, Like a psychic, cyclic like a time stretch, Now she got to go but she still got to catch, The last bus taking her down her way, Wait for 5 more minutes and peep Miss Billie Holiday. VERSE 3 Moonlight in Vermont is the sweetest song ever, DL get sick of her style? Cha never, She’s got a sweet tooth; she’s dope ya mean? Now my CD’s playing track fourteen, Sweet summer vocals with jazz guitar, See the east is in the house like Blahzay Blah, Oh my god, it feels so good you know, Hey yo I’m looking at my watch and is it time to go? But she still wants to chill cos she feel’s Ok, So I’m looking for another CD to play, And staring in my face was Classic Was the Day, But imma keep playing Miss Billie Holiday. Outro (Sharing) this Billie Holiday CD (While we) While we just chill and watch TV (repeat)

INTRO I personally want to reach as many people as possible and I try to put whatever i can do into the most common terms. If there were any way to put it more simply I would do it. I think the feelings in art should be more selective and that at least the artist should be responsible to try to perpetuate the feelings, which he feels, will be most beneficial or those feelings, which will most, contribute to a better world. CHORUS (SIENNA) It’s got to be the music (all night long) It’s all about the music (sing your song) It has to be the music It’s got to be the music (carry on) It’s all about the music (it can’t go wrong) It has to be the music.

I guarantee you when it comes to girls it’s something real nice, Because I was straight lounging in this jazz store for records, Peeped this very fine lady and thought damn I have to check her, I had one eye on this honey the other in the jazz selection, Her skin was a kind of caramel toffee complexion, I thought that I was dreaming, slapped myself DL wake up, The type of girl, who looked so fine and didn’t put on make up, And I was bugged out; I’ve never felt this way before, And by the time I calmed down she was leaving the store, Yeah she was going real quick yes a real fast walker, I didn’t want to follow her and make myself look like a stalker, But damn she had this innocence in her eyes, There ain’t no way I’m going to get her number if I don’t try, So I proceed out the store, check it I’m getting older, Ran up a few yards and gently tapped her on the shoulder, And as I went to speak not one word I could utter, Because my nose was hooked on this faint smell of coco butter, Her was slick back relaxed and mad straight, When I finally spoke I said hold up wait, Are you from around here? What’s your name kid and where you going, Who are you with? A couple of things I must be knowing, What’s those seven numbers you got but no I couldn’t sweat, Because this girl was so fine I called her Soul Silhouette. CHORUS VERSE 2 Her voice was cute and sounded sweet like a fruit, I hope she wasn’t the type that’s only out for loot, Because everything around me right now had now relevance, And when she spoke you could tell she spoke of intelligence, She got more soul than anybody I know, I can’t believe the way she looked and I was caught in her flow, Electrifying my soul, she said you fellow’s want to get with me, And even if you don’t you go around claiming you slept with me, I said you girl don’t even play me that way, And if you do not want to know me then honey that’s Ok, She kind of stopped me in my tracks because she knows the deal, Loved the way that I talked and the way it made her feel, Would have stopped in a second if those vibes were wack, And I could feel a little static with the eye contact, Hey yo I glanced at my watch then she asked me the time, I started checking in my pocket for that ill dope rhyme, That I was writing this morning for my brand new track, She took out her Parker pen and wrote her number on the back, Sometimes it’s hard to find a girl like this in your city, And even when she’s mad damn she still looks pretty, I had to check my DJ because he was in effect, She said she’s got to go, she said she’s got to jet, And as she said that hey yo she sparked a cigarette, Yo she was so fine I called her soul silhouette.

CHORUS X 2 See every day that passes by I seem to want you more and more within my life Girl I cant help it but it seems to feel just right (Feel just right) VERSE 1 Yo I was told to never ever put my heart on a track Cos once it’s said and once it’s done there aint no turning back Cos you get questioned and interrogated bout “Who this woman?” Let me tell you “Did she ruin you?” Na ah “What you doing?” Well its 2004 and this year is flying by Sometimes I’m acting corny but this girl was mad fly Lounging with the Stixx and we cooling outside Scoping this young lady yo she know who she are She got the long dark hair, skin quite fair And big gold dangly earrings in her ear And all I really cared about was making us grow With or without the cash, mullah, paper or doe She was kind of on the humble but stung me like a bumble Forget about an apple she could make a fella crumble And slip over take a tumble lose his breath and start to mumble I hungry for your loving can’t you hear my stomach rumble?

CHORUS Maybe it was meant to be, but there isn’t no guarantees That life could be stress free from… Maybe we can make a change Or things will remain the same Wouldn’t that be a shame? (danger) Oh no VERSE 1 Ay yo I never knew the streets was so dangerous Minors thinking that they majors at young ages Neglect they character to make paper Never crossed they mind to make wages Is it that they going through these phases? Its so dangerous, upper class looking at the Lower class funny style Turn they noses up cos its money Now rich kids never knew the meaning of hard work Its defamation brought up on yourself when its Gods work Is that the street life? Please, robberies Drug dealers selling keys, pirate copy DVD’s Sold by the Chinese, gun crime up Coke heads in squat houses who snort lines up School gangs blazing, Black kids against the Asians Since the days of Thatcher and Ron Reagan Very little inspiration, grown folks misplace patience The universe mentality is dangerous CHORUS VERSE 2 Ay yo I never knew my block was so dangerous Alcoholics walk around in two’s with mental health patients Young blood’s buying blunt wraps assorted flavours Taunting neighbours, the police aint really doing Nothing to contain em’ Combination of the staircase and urination Weed smoke fragrance floating to the playgrounds Bass sounds booming out from double glazing And these dudes walking round with pants down think it’s amazing The government needs to provide some ventilation This aint healthy like a quarter pound of bacon But rich folks spend while poor folks pretend While rich folks lend the poor are borrowing Banks take blood money cos it’s all one money Invest in wars, transforms to gun money Now they run money, tell me why not? They got plenty But there’s still poverty in the twenty first century That don’t make sense but does anything really? It’s hard to meet another who will treat you sincerely A Black man aint nothing with his diamonds and braids It’s the same if he live in Africa and got AIDS It’s the same if he got a PHD and got paid Yo it’s the same if he done a crime got caught and jailed It’s a quick world with an upsurge of laziness With them quick girls who act so dangerous CHORUS VERSE 3 Ay yo, I never knew my mind was so dangerous The way I print it on this paper Cos nobody aint here doing me no favours Got a street hustle with no street muscle Live a street life without the street strife Street nights, lights out I get the beats right I take each mic and I rhyme for each night I got a pair of jeans that match for each Nike And got a pair of eyes that take in each light My mind cogwheels keep turning, I’m still learning Got the kind of motivation that’s determined To try the untryable and do the undoable Take risks money make and do the unusual Bring it back show these younger men about my pinnacle Make a challenge to the cold hearted and the cynical Brought a miracle to a friend and a stranger DL, Consist forward slash danger. CHORUS REFRAIN X 4 What you do? What you do? What you do? What you do? What you doing?

Train Girl 04:12
CHORUS X 2 You’ve got me tamed girl… Do you feel the same girl? Yo what’s your name girl? I’ll have to call you train girl VERSE 1 As I’m sitting here writing this rhyme I’m on a train coach E seat number 49 It’s night the train alights, driver opens the door This pretty woman sits down in seat 54 Suede boots, long coat with the neck cut low Lipstick, diamonds earrings and her hair Cain row Gold ring, silver chain and a Gucci watch Her skins lighter than chocolate but darker than butterscotch She pulls out a magazine and lays it on her thighs And starts reading obviously unaware of my eyes But soon she noticed me looking her way So she smiles quite politely and I’m telling you she made my day She carries on reading, it’s getting later in the evening And the train aint really speeding yo the speed is kind of even She noticed me noticing her once more And I notice her notice so start staring at the floor My eyes scan the coach at other people But they aint as attractive so my brain deems them as un-equal to her excellence I’m writing all this down as evidence And as I write I’m trying to showcase my intelligence I look again and no doubt she’s looking at me probably thinking what’s he writing about? And why’s he looking at me like he knows me long time? See I was scribbling on my paper but she made it a rhyme CHORUS X 2 VERSE 2 Now I look away and tell myself I won’t look back Because she’s probably thinking who is he? And why does he act like he’s never seen a woman before? But her beauty is the kind of beauty that I’m finding hard to ignore She’s probably bout 24, a manager of a store or maybe collage Or at Uni probably studying law Whatever she does she’s doing it for me right here My pen is still taking details every time they appear She touches her hair and sees me as she curiously stare I’m thinking that she is the nicest chick I’ve seen all this year She’s probably about 5'8 (5 feet, 8 inches) hey yo her skin tones great Hey yo she isn’t too thin or roly-poly with weight She’s all gravy, a chic lady who’s probably focusing on pushing a career instead of pushing a baby Oh no the train starts pulling in she starts gathering her things She’s interrupted when her cell phone rings She starts talking as she’s leaving the train and I can tell that it’s a fella on the line Because she’s saying his name, she’s talking to him like he’s captured her heart So I put my pen down, leave my seat to find the buffet cart When I get back the girl’s not there but I find a small folded piece of paper occupying my chair I picked it up and I opened it out, it had a number signed from the girl you were busy writing about Damn… CHORUS X 8
32.
CHORUS VERSE 1 (Yo check me out on this one yo) It was a Sunday I was chilling in my crib, Watching TV it was about this real fat kid, When my phone rang I heard this female say, She was feeling kind of lonely want to step my way, I knew her from way back, before I knew how to rap, Now she university and part timer in Gap, Sometimes she talks back but she knows how to act, Never been into killing, stealing or crack, Anyway may I say I ain’t busy today, You can chill at my crib and parlay whilst we play, Tekken 2 she taking me for Lei Wulong, Now she watch me lick shot like a 2, 2 gun, No fun because somehow I always get beat, No I ain’t a fighter but yes from the street, Sweet like caramel skin tone too, Say she want to go out and paint the town all blue, I mean red like a rose she had an ill pose, Rocked fresh kicks with real smooth clothes, Her favourite rap song was Oodles of O’s, And I was De La cos she got mad soul, On ice roll dice we coming up six, And there was no sign of the DJ Stixx, She was cool, never went the wrong way, Hey yo she got me relaxed playing tracks by Billie Holiday. VERSE 2 Yeah, Pete Rock, Abstract and yes Large Pro, She ain’t no Mc but she got mad flow, Like the foresaid above, define the word love, You got mind power but you ain’t got enough, Hey yo born in July if I so right remember, I turn a year older in the month before December, Scorpio sting and let loose the venom, Wearing stonewash denim she got no enemy, I stay cool when she in my presence, But if I ain’t relaxed then there is essence, Vanilla but no this ain’t no ice, ice baby, Is this the type of lady that can make me go crazy? Maybe, now we just talking about living, Sipping soft drinks just chilling, illin, Make me get better like I’m on penicillin, Now we like a duet, tight you know the feeling, Appealing, 2am and she tired, Work in the morning she don’t want to get fired, But I recline on a ill baseline, Looking deep in her eyes trying to read her mind, Like a psychic, cyclic like a time stretch, Now she got to go but she still got to catch, The last bus taking her down her way, Wait for 5 more minutes and peep Miss Billie Holiday. VERSE 3 Moonlight in Vermont is the sweetest song ever, DL get sick of her style? Cha never, She’s got a sweet tooth; she’s dope ya mean? Now my CD’s playing track fourteen, Sweet summer vocals with jazz guitar, See the east is in the house like Blahzay Blah, Oh my god, it feels so good you know, Hey yo I’m looking at my watch and is it time to go? But she still wants to chill cos she feel’s Ok, So I’m looking for another CD to play, And staring in my face was Classic Was the Day, But imma keep playing Miss Billie Holiday. Outro (Sharing) this Billie Holiday CD (While we) While we just chill and watch TV (repeat)

Confused? 03:40
CHORUS X 2 Each day i look into your eyes i see a different thing From what you showed me yesterday And now it’s making me feel confused VERSE 1 Yo she was 5 feet 8 with a pair of ice sneakers Our love was kind of clear like my Yamaha speakers She told me that her parents came from Costa Rica Now she lives around my way but she was born in Dominica Met her at this cool restaurant eating Tikka Masala I had to seek her drinking Margarita Waiting for her boyfriend Peter I found out that he used to beat her and made her walk a kilometer Just to meet him at work and she knew that he would cheat her Saw him at a club with a chick called Bonita Drunk and hysteric because he drunk a whole litre Of Henny and when it ran out he sipped Remi Yo I told her baby he’s a fool he don’t love you And if you were my girl I would put nothing above you We became a couple because we started to date But hold up wait, Pete’s still on her case What’s going on? I don’t know I asked her if she still loves Pete? She says no From my point of view girl it still seems so Because every time he knocks you run and open the door, its like CHORUS X 2 VERSE 2 See all I want to know is why you told them lies? You had me hypnotized with your dark brown eyes Thinking one thing while you think of something else Then Pete comes around and you leave me on the shelf It’s kind of like a souvenir for which you really don’t care Because every time you cried they were Crocodile tears I thought we were a pair that would outlive years And blow up the spot like the Final Frontier But I was so wrong so pack your trunk and move along It’s hard because my feelings were strong But life goes on and on goes life I’m glad I didn’t proceed to make you my wife Because like I would love you and you would love Peter Of course and then we’d have to get a divorce So you can take half of my royalty cheque? While I rhyme you spend my doe, yo girl what’s next? What’s going on? I don’t know I asked you if you still love Pete? You said no From my point of view girl it still seems so Because every time he knocks you run and open the door, CHORUS X2 CHORUS (HUMMING) CHORUS X2
