But I don't want that, so I should go where LL stay, huh
To find that cutie with that nice fat booty
So I can do my duty, and she will smile like Tudy
From the Facts of Life that used to be on NBC
However recently you've got to catch the repeats G, uh
Back to the issue at hand understand I am a man
Who can burn you like a fryin pan, more dangerous than quicksand
Proud to be black, I'm a meal, not a snack
You want to put me on wax? But that's why

I, got a feeling

U-ke-le-le baby baby you're a groupie word to Snoopy
I'm delighted and excited to know you would like to do me
It's kind of tempting please don't feel I'm condescending
I'd like to touch you in a place that makes you uncomf-ortable
Uh, that rapper's full of bull
C'mon with Bass because I've got lots of pull
Don't fabricate, he ain't straight, I'm an is, he's an ain't
I'm full of oil, he is just a water paint
Never de too much, never de too much
Never de too much, never de too much, such, and such
Type of words bein spoken
When you ride the train you must have a token
Four o'clock in the mornin', I was awoken
And there ain't no jokin', when the pussy hoes are open
The previous rhyme I told him, was stolen
Lick my colon, sell you out like Colin, Powell
Whoa ha hah, like that and
And I rip shit ah, rip shit ah
Uh, talk sounds better over beats
Singin' don't talk sounds better over beats
Uh, talk sounds better over beats
Singin' don't talk sounds better over beats, ain't that funky?
Talk sounds better over beats
Singin' don't talk sounds better over beats, ain't that fly?
Talk sounds better over beats




Singin' don't talk sounds better over beats, ain't that fresh?
Uh, it's like that Count Bass-D and I'm out , uh
