J. Smooth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just come and feel the flavor
Whether its rain or shine
Cuz we got it
Thinkin of you is all I do
Daydreamin' about my boo
Crazy days I like your silly ways
What can I do
I'm given you all my time
Just come and feel the flavor
Whether its rain or shine
Cuz we got it
I know our love is real
You make my mind do flips
Its funny how you make me feel
Toss and turnin in my bed
My time is just for you 24/7 our love is true
I'm given you all my time
Just come and feel the flavor
Whether its rain or shine
Cuz we got it
Its the mack of the year in your ear
With the flavor you've been waitin for
A taste in your face don't take it personal
4 deep we gonna creep for the street
Smooth Batman and Romeo and LDB
Throw your hands in the air put the bounce in your body
Microphone check now scream ladi dadi
Ain't no party like an Immature party
Give 'em props, cuz you love what they got
I'm given you all my time
Just come and feel the flavor
Whether its rain or shine
Cuz we got it
Don't you wanna feel the funk
What we got is what you want
Don't you wanna feel the funk
What we got is what you want

Well I'll be the first 1 to comment on this djs awesomeness after 3 years of uploading later. DJ JSmooth is a bad Mutha from Philly. A constant mix of multiple records at 1 time plus his scratch style is so very nasty. Florida Repin here and back in 98 I started my collection of cassette tapes of his. They all came in different colors look them up and listen.{ Enter the 37th Chamber Jungle Style}, to {How Do You Like Your Funk} to {Soul the Funk Essentials} plus quite a few more. My number 1 for Hip Hop Jungle
