Poison
Devoe Lyrics

Yeah, Spyderman and Freeze in full effect
Acknowledging Spyderman and Freeze as performers with a reputation

Girl I must warn you I sense something strange in my mind
Warning of the strange vibe given off by this woman

(Yeah) Yo, situation is serious Let's cure it 'cause we're running out of time (Tell 'em Rick) It's all so beautiful
Acknowledging the gravity of the situation while noting its initial appearance of beauty

Relationships they seem from the start Yeah, it's all so deadly When love is not together from the heart
Commenting on how relationships can be deceptive - attractive while also being dangerous if not founded on love, a true connection

It's driving me out of my mind That's why it's hard for me to find Can't get it outta my head Miss her, kiss her, love her (wrong move you're dead)
Expressing the mental toll of being into somebody difficult

That girl is poison Never trust a big butt and smile That girl is poison (poison)
Labeling the woman as poison, untrustworthy & thus dangerous

If I were you I'd take precaution Before I step to meet a fly girl You know 'cause in some portions You'll think she's the best thing in the world
Advisory to take precautions while dealing with this woman because she has the potential to seem amazing at times

She's so fly, she'll drive you right out of your mind Steal your heart when you're blind Beware she's schemin', she'll make you think you're dreamin' You'll fall in love and you'll be screamin' demon, ooh
Portraying the woman as attractive, but reminding us that her scheming nature can leave you confused, blind and heartbroken

Poison deadly moving it slow Looking for a mellow fellow like DeVoe Getting paid laid so better lay low Schemin' on house, money, and the whole show
Characterizing the woman as someone who moves slowly & seeks out people to use for money, sex and/or stability

The low pro hoe she'll be cut like an afro See what you sayin' huh? She's a winner to you but I know she's a loser How do you know? Me and the crew used to do her
Degrading the woman by calling her a 'hoe' and emphasizing her untrustworthiness; using past experiences to support the observations

That girl is poison, poison, poison, (poison) poison (Poison, poison, poison, p-poison) (Poison, poison, poison, p-poison, poison) (Poison, poison, poison, p-poison) (Poison, poison, poison, p-poison, poison)
Repeating the warning chant that this woman is poison

I was at the park shake, bakin', takin' 'em off And that night I played the wall Checkin' out the fellas the highs and lows Keepin' one eye open still clockin' the hoes There was one particular girl that stood out from the rest Poison as can be, the high power chest Michael Bivins here and I'm runnin' the show Bell, Biv DeVoe Now you know, yo, Slick, blow
The artist tells a story of being at the park, observing, & liking a particular woman but ultimately realizing (along with other bandmates) that she's dangerous

It's driving me out of my mind That's why it's hard for me to find Can't get it outta my head Miss her, kiss her, love her (wrong move, you're dead)
Reiterating on the distress that this woman is causing to their mind

That girl is poison (poison, poison) Never trust a big butt and smile (poison) Poison (poison, poison) She's dangerous (poison)
Repeating the woman's nature as poison - cannot be trusted & being dangerous

Oh yeah (poison) oh yeah (poison, poison) (Poison) Yeah fellas, that was another dope one You know what I'm sayin', Mike? Yeah, B.B.D. In full effect Yo', wassup to Ralph T and Johnny G And I can't forget about my boy, B. Brown And the whole NE crew (Poison) Ah-ooh
Ending the song with various acknowledgements & repeating the chant about the woman being poison
