Song | Side To Side |
Artist | Blackalicious |
Album | 4/20 Live In Seattle |
When you first walked in | |
And I saw you at the bar or somethin' | |
I ain't really wanna holler or nothin' | |
I just pegged you as the type for frontin' | |
Steady chucklin' with your girlfriends | |
Actin' contrary and cluckin' | |
But ya song came on, and somethin' changed | |
In the way she was movin' along | |
Eyelashes caught flashes of the possibilities | |
Maybe this one is the one for me | |
She's movin' to the dance floor, we'll see | |
What I seen was inspirational, highly motivational | |
Had to maneuver the set, up to confrontational | |
Even though it was my chance to mack | |
I already did my dance, had the reservoir tapped | |
Hit me like a thunder clap, though | |
Can't let somethin' that fat pass by, why asks why? | |
Made my way through the crowd with the side to side | |
Then I pushed up on the tush 'cause, uh, I ain't shy | |
Said, "Excuse me miss, but I liked what I saw | |
When she spoke, I damn near dropped my jaw" | |
Hell no, I can't believe she said that shit | |
I need to call my sister, "Come up through and check this chick | |
And put some sense in her, 'cause her Iq 'bout six†| |
Bein' that, stupid in public there should be a law against | |
I mean, she didn't have a clue, tell you what to do | |
Just shut up, ride the groove, and let's move now | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side to side, times two | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side to side, times two | |
When I stepped into the coliseum, I was slidin' through | |
Just bein' me, lovin' the space and lettin' everything be free | |
And bein' free to 'til I seen her, me, I popped up, solutions | |
Could it be? She was the one that could make me a believa? | |
Step through the crowd like a bobber and a weaver | |
Couldn't really see the crowd, all that I could see was her | |
Looked directly in her eyes, all that I could see was blurred vision | |
Couldn't really tell if she was prime and ready furr pickin' | |
She was downin' that 'yac in straight shots | |
Offered me a drink, I told her I was tryin' to stop | |
I thought to reconsider mackin', then she pulled off her top | |
And yelled, next thing I know, she was doin' the wop | |
She said, "Gabby, gabby, gabby, you need to come and swig" | |
I said, "I think I'm cool, you need to find another nigga" | |
Baby, baby, baby please, then she dropped down to her knees | |
Then I had to leave, I didn't want to contract diseases | |
I said, "Don't take it personal, I think you need Jesus | |
You're movin' kinda fast, you need to stop and just breathe†| |
Hopin' she would have a clue, tell you what to do | |
Just shut up, ride the groove and let's move, now | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side to side, times two | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side to side, times two | |
As soon as I walked in the do'-woe-woe | |
The ratio was in favor of me, 'cause as far as I could see | |
All the bitties on the flo'-woe-woe | |
Was movin' in such a way in the heat, kinda made me wanna pee | |
Leavin' me wanting mo'-woe-woe | |
But I was scared, of major defeat, 'cause I saw the girl late | |
Was dancin' with sayin' no-woe-woe | |
And gab was wrestlin' with a freak who was topless | |
I was intimated to show, any interest at all | |
I just stood still, pressed against the wall | |
(That's when I saw her) | |
Time froze, the ice around my heart e-roded | |
Glasses she looked like a spy, wanna decode it | |
I said, "My name is Pi-Pi-Pigeon Johnny" | |
Stuttered a little bit, felt like a big dummy | |
She said, "I didn't have a clue, she told me what to do" | |
She said, "Shut up and ride the groove†| |
I said, "Okay", like | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side to side, times two | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side, to side, times two now | |
Side to side to side, times two | |
If you gonna be creative, y'know | |
You're ultimately offering yourself as a sacrifice | |
A sacrifice of, channeling something, bigger than yourself | |
And existing here at the same time, y'know | |
Being measured upon your words | |
When you're channeling yourself at higher than your state | |
Is a pre' serious, jump to take on | |
So, if they truly about, the word | |
Poetry, singing, writing, and drawing and painting | |
Or however it is, then y'know | |
Want us to realize we're here to record ripples of vanity, y'know | |
Ripples of mathematics, that's really what you're dealing with |
When you first walked in | |
And I saw you at the bar or somethin' | |
I ain' t really wanna holler or nothin' | |
I just pegged you as the type for frontin' | |
Steady chucklin' with your girlfriends | |

But ya song came on, and somethin' changed | |
In the way she was movin' along | |
Eyelashes caught flashes of the possibilities | |
