Undressed
Ghostface Killah M.O.P. & Pharoahe Monch Lyrics

What a shame that you're leaving me home on Sunday
I've got the day and I've got me so depressed
And it feels good
So I know that there's something about this insanity
Something you put to the test I hope it's understood
Cause it feels good
So I got myself undressed
Yeah it feels good
So I got myself undressed
What a drag you caught me cold and sleeping

You had a smile that I seen was so sincere
And it feels good
So I want you to know that there's something about you
It's something I've never been sure of
I hope it's understood
Cause it feels good
So I got myself undressed
Yeah you feel good
So I got myself undressed
What a senseless picture
Suicide is quick and painless
If you disregardthe mess
What a useless feeling
Come up short and come up screaming
In this universal wreck
Well you came and brought me home on Sunday
Yeah I'm sorry
But it got me so depresseed
And it feels good
So I know that there's something that's out there
Believe and begin that it's more than a test
I hope you understood
Yeah it feels good
So I got myself undressed
Yeah you feel good

Agree. 1999 was special with the return of Dr. Dre with his classic '2001' album while an young and hungry Eminem broke out with his amazing Slim Shady LP album. Cash Money, Rocafella, Ruff Ryders, Aftermath, Murda Inc, Bad Boy, Rawkus and No Limit were the hottest rap labels while Nas and Mobb Deep ran QB and Mos, Pharoahe, Roots and MF Doom brought heats.

It's because he's a real lyricist rapping about real life and important shit not money, guns, and hoes like other more "famous" rappers. He's a great actor too, warch Something the Lord Made (2004). He is brilliant in that movie.

@@theeyesbutterfly6089 Aint that's what the song is about? I had forgot about this song, then my sister played it a few weeks back. I downloaded it and started listening to it, and was kind of confused and shocked by the end, so I came to the video to make sure I wasn't tripping. Outside of showcasing lyricism and the art of storytelling, it's about him falling in love with a stripper and suffering the consequences.

@TilTheBreakADawn

@@bayeisha I honestly never got that in all the years I've been listening to it. The reveal line is when his friend calls him and says, "I saw Charisse at the kitty club with some bangin' ass Asian playing lay it down and pick me up." Because the video doesn't show her stripping at all (perhaps because Mos Def wanted to be more tasteful than the standard garbage that's put out) and the lyrics talking about a "banging ass Asian which means from Mos that's a female, I thought it was about finding out she was bisexual. But now that I see the same woman from the club as his waitress, yes, I guess it is about her stripping to pay bills.
