Nicole
If ever there was a moment to lay it on the line, no-holds barred…this is it. DL’s unique declaration of love cannot fail to deliver. This is an infectious rhythm that twists and turns in an entirely unpredictable manner. And so much the better for it.
lyrics
CHORUS
Nicole (x16)
VERSE 1
Never so much on my mind get let it off now
Not now but right now and let me get down
Tell you bout this lady I call Nicole
Quiet as kept like anorexics who tip-toe
She had a great figure, got me like a Cop with a
Itchy trigger finger on duty drinking liquor
Whole in the heart very weak ticker
Always had to call her on her two way
And I needed love like LL Cool J
Now this is simple, she thought that she
Could love me till she’s old and wrinkled
Come on now relationships they come and they go
But yo with Nicole twenty-seven years
Only wore white gold she owned a Bentley
Spoke real gently always real friendly
Frequently tempt me to do many things
Telling me my duty is to do anything yo
CHORUS
Nicole (x 8)
VERSE 2
Education, graduation, try and stop her
She’s far from the days she worked at Footlocker
When her uniform tag said Nicole
And her salary was very little
And now she’s making money doing well for her own
Drives a cool car, part owns her home
Loves a sweet tooth like Toblerone
Practices guitar on a monotone
Singing love songs that she wrote
Says “I’m gonna get a deal” but she won’t
Plus she never ever wanna rock the boat
Loves the quiet life plus her Doctors note
Said she shouldn’t sing cos she popped her throat
When she was a kid and she swallowed a coat button
Now she topless models a little
As long as she aint showing her nipples
CHORUS
Nicole (x 8)
REFRAIN
Come on Nicole, Nicky’s ready on the right
(Oww, oww) Nicky’s ready on the left
I said come on Nicole, Nicky’s ready in the middle
(Oww, oww) Nicky’s ready at back
I said come on Nicole, Nicky’s ready on the front
(Oww, oww) Nicky’s ready up top
I said come on Nicole, Nicky’s down low
(Oww, oww, oww, oww) Nicky’s ready
VERSE 3
Ha, Nicole was a beautiful girl
Made my world seem like beautiful world (ha)
And in my heart she was a suitable girl
Some would say an unusual girl
But I would never take heed cos I fought with my heartstrings
Yeah real deep like African carvings
She hung on the mantle as an example
She knew about her roots and they were strong like bamboo
Now she’s smoking like a blown out candle
Wearing dangly bangles and Asian sandal’s
Compliments on the mic I handle
I bring it to your neck like a dude who strangles
Nicky’s all grown up now
Tells me all the time I should have blown up now (ha)
She’s in the Gym trying to tone up now
Got her feminine styles all sown up now
CHORUS
Nicole (x 16)

This track just goes so so HARD! As well as it being an absolute banger, I really adore the impact and meaningful lyrics that Substantial Spits. Specially the lines about his history with Nujabes (R.I.P) cloudydaudy

As soon as I heard the song Like Really I just had to buy the album. Then I finished listening to all the songs, and knew I made a good choice. Oddisee is one of the best hip hop artists on bandcamp. Devin Anderson
