I was mad dip |
|
Butterfly collars and shit |
|
Chains from the slave ship |
|
Dreads with the wave kit |
|
Bifocals and wing-tips |
|
Velvet pants and a velour coat |
|
Looked in the mirror |
|
"Damn I look dope" |
|
Folded up the singles in my loot-clip |
|
Put a sock in my pants on some Uncle Luke shit |
|
Dressed to impress |
|
Now I'm ready to go |
|
The club is twelve blocks away |
|
And I got no loot, so |
|
I walk ten and take a cab for two |
|
Black duct tape over the hole in my shoe |
|
I've got the hottest dance steps: |
|
Running Man, Cabbage Patch |
|
Plus the Robocop, then I bring back the Walk |
|
Jaws will drop, and all the ladies will flock |
|
Brothers thinking, "What he got that I ain't got" |
|
I'll tell ya fella, it's written in my best seller |
|
It started to rain, I got no umbrella |
|
The walking turned to running |
|
Still I look stunning |
|
Covered enough ground before my |
|
Taxi could summon |
|
Got to the spa and hopped out at the front |
|
Tripped over the curb, limping cuz my toes were stubbed |
|
Then I tried to give pounds to people I didn't know ("yo, what's up y'all!") |
|
At Lucy & Joe's, my destination was the back door |
|
Not because the bouncer told me not to come back |
|
I'm just sneaking in the club because I got it like that |
|

|
I remember when you used to be broke |
|
Ignored when you spoke |
|
And people would take you for a joke |
|
You used to go to the club, and look like a scrub |
|
But couldn't afford the admission |
|
From outside you're looking in |
|
Waiting for a chance to slip by |
|
You slide through the back door |
|
But you wasn't supposed to be there |
|
You'd look like an idiot if you got caught, but you didn't care |
|
Just as long as you got your groove on |
|
It was smooth sailing, they was playing the Thong Song |
|
You're feeling shorty with the boots on |
|
Cutting through the crowd sideways, it's time to move strong |
|
To cool kick it, say something slick off the top |
|
Flash your jewels, fix your suit |
|
Fidgeting with your wristwatch |
|
But while you was in the corner acting the big shot.? |
|
They threw on some hip-hop |
|
People got on the dance floor |
|
And a bouncer saw you standing at the corner near the door ("Hey you!") |
|
He started walking your way, to muscle you out |
|
Since you refused to pay |
|
So there was nothing for you to say |
|
When he blew up your spot |
|
And threw you out the front to the floor |
|
("I told you not to come back here!") |
|
Past the bar on the right through the double doors |
|
You mumbled and swore, stumbled and tripped on the pavement |
|
("Goddamn.") |
|
People in line started laughing ("Haha!") |
|
When they threw you half-ass |
|
Screaming that you wasn't allowed back in |
|
But that was back, acting like nothing happened |
|
You patted your Tims off, depressed from embarrassment |
|
It could have been fresh, it would have been lavish |
|
One day you'll make it and won't have to deal with this madness |
|
*scratches* "My status is the maddest" |
