Viktor Vaughn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mmm.. My cousin's friend's friend wanna meet me
Saw V on TV, said she needed a sweety
Heard he was the type to do her name in grafitti
Greet her with a kiss kiss
Straight gentlemen need stee, a G
What others meant to be is meant to be
She can slip a smile and make a nigga flip wild
Herand bold name chain, diamond chips crips style
With the magic bracelet, sweat with your case swiss
Athletic chick who run track
Hey miss, pleasure's all mine
Please call me Vik

Okay, I did a full inspection
Head to toe we rocked black denim
Flashed the grin, sweetest sin
Said to him: "Hey, my name is Nikki
You twenty minutes late and almost miss me"
Turn off my CD, I was bumpin' Vinage Vicki
Said: "I love the ways you smile, but your eyes look tricky"
Yo I gotta be home by eight thirty or my moms'll kill me
She spasses out when I'm late, plus she says that I'm too young to date
So overprotective, I'd wish she take a set of different shit
Yea, but that's whatever
What's your perspective, tell me more about you Vik

It's love at first sight that's the proof
You wasn't out right to thirts, but in truth
Fresh as a mayflower, face like power
He had the green light, she asked him: "What's the plan tonight?"
Flavor of the night, Sam Sara from Fahrenheit

He talked, I listened, he listened I spoke
We walked arm-in-arm and split a cherry Coke
Spitting religion and politics, Sega and chess
Roots and culture, hip-hop, skunk and sess
I caught him sneekin' peeks at my breasts
While frontin' name drop and connects

First started out like she was just Vaughn's friend
Used to act grown for pretend, whispering
Speaking on the phone, for hours on end
On a bone from just listening and then:
"Call me back on my phone", spoke the tone, again
Call back and do the same thing tomorrow
Something don't give her, been forced to ignore her
Gettin' on my last nerve, she did it
All this talk and shit and we ain't even hit it yet
It's uncharacteristic of the Vik

Pickies on my neck, the whole last night, I couldn't sleep
Practice the words I used to greet you, the next time we meet
Think of you and feel heat, that make my cheeks blush
Close my eyes and feel your touch, get chills when you slit me tongue
Picture me with you, could my fantasies of T-love come true?
Got me wondering, how far I'll go to prove my moms and everybody wrong
I miss you every time I hear a love song and whenever you're gone
Until I see you, then I feel short of breath
I think maybe I'm ready.. to take the next step.. yes

I got your cab fare, dinner and a movie
Bring a change of clothes, just in case it's all groovy
Watch when I see you, I miss you a lot yo
How about a night cab, maybe a bottle of mo
So V can bite your titties like a big fotographe ho

Oh no you didn't! You called me a what? Don't make me wig out
How you gonna last some shit like that's about your mouth (nah, I was just)
If I was there, I'd smack you in your smirk (ooh), for acting like a jerk
Thought you was cool, but now I doubt the shit is gonna work

I know I played too much
Hey on the way, could you please pick up two dots
Ok peace, see you when you touch
I wondered if she ever had a coodycat eight eight
Vaughn can't wait too long, stroked it on the late late

Wait, first let's get this shit straight straight
Don't call me out my name, I'm not the one to get played played
Out niggaz, go figure 'em out, they're all the same same
With a lame lame story, like my ex-man Mike
Got my best friend pregnant and he's still tryin' to call me
Well fuck Mike and fuck Vik too
I wound up on prozac from all the shit he put me through
Only been off my prescription three weeks
And you got me flippin, rippin' my hair out
Never thought you'd treat me like a pigeon
I'm out, it's over, I'm gone
So long.

I'd rather masturbate, than fuck with Vik Vaughn (let me watch)
I'd rather masturbate, than fuck with Vik Vaughn




(Still so so what time you gonna be here?)
(Aight? You know I'm gonna be waitin', just holla and ring a dozen)

Hickies on my neck, the whole last night, I couldn't sleep
Practice the words I used to greet you, the next time we meet
Think of you and feel heat, that make my cheeks blush
Close my eyes and feel your touch, get chills when you slip me tongue
Picture me with you, could my fantasies of teen love come true?
Got me wonderin', how far I'll go to prove my moms and everybody wrong
I miss you every time I hear a love song and whenever you're gone
Until I see you then I feel short of breath
I think maybe I'm ready, to take the next step... (Yes)

[Verse 1: Viktor Vaughn]
Mmm... My cousin's friend's friend wanna meet me
Saw V on TV, said she need a sweetie
Heard he was the type to do her name in graffiti
And greet her with a kiss *mwah*, straight gentlemanly stee, a G
Whatever's meant to be is meant to be
She can slip a smile that make a nigga flip wild
Herringbone Name Chain, diamond chips, crips style
With the matching bracelet, sweats with the K-Swiss
Athletic chick who run track, "Hey, miss
Pleasure's all mine, please call me Vik"

[Verse 2: Apani B Fly as Nikki]
Okay, I did a full inspection
Head-to-toe, he rocked black denim (Mmm)
Flashed the grin, sweet as sin
Said to him: "Hey, my name's Nikki
You're twenty minutes late and almost missed me"
Turned off my CD, I was bumpin' vintage Biggie
("... and bullshit, and party ...")
Said: "I love the way you smile, but your eyes look tricky
Yo, I gotta be home by 8:30 or my moms'll kill me
She spazzes out when I'm late
Plus she says that I'm too young to date
So overprotective, I wish she'd take a sedative and shit
Yeah, but that's whatever, what's your perspective?
Tell me more about you, Vik"
[Verse 3: Viktor Vaughn]
It's love at first sight, that's the proof
He wasn't out right too thirst, but in truth
Fresh as a mayflower, face like power
He had the green light, she asked him: "What's the plan tonight?"
Flavor of the night, Samsara and Fahrenheit

[Verse 4: Apani B Fly as Nikki]
He talked, I listened
He listened, I spoke (True, true)
We walked arm-in-arm and split a Cherry Coke
Spit religion and politics, Sega and chess
Roots and culture, hip-hop, skunk and cess
I caught him sneekin' peeks at my breasts
While frontin', namedroppin' connects

[Verse 5: Viktor Vaughn]
First started out like she was just Vaughn's friend
Used to act grown for pretend, whisperin'
Speakin' on the phone, for hours on end
On the bone from just listenin', and then:
"Call me back, my mother home," spoke to tone, again
Call back and do the same thing tomorrow
If somethin' don't give, I'll be forced to ignore her
Gettin' on my last nerves, forget it
All this talking shiddit and V ain't even hit it yet
It's uncharacteristic of the vet
[Verse 6: Apani B Fly as Nikki]
Hickies on my neck; the whole last night, I couldn't sleep
Practice the words I used to greet you the next time we meet
Think of you and feel heat, that make my cheeks blush
Close my eyes and feel your touch
Get chills when you slip me tongue, picture me with you
Could my fantasies of teen love come true?
Got me wonderin' how far I'll go
To prove my moms and everybody wrong
I miss you every time I hear a love song and whenever you're gone
Until I see you, then, I feel short of breath
I think maybe I'm ready, to take the next step... (Yes)

[Verse 7: Viktor Vaughn]
Bet, I got your cab fare, dinner and a movie
Bring a change of clothes just in case it's all groovy
Watch when I see you, I miss you a lot, yo
How about a nightcap, maybe a bottle of Mo'?
So V can bite your titties like a baby toddler, ho

[Verse 8: Apani B Fly as Nikki & Viktor Vaughn]
Oh no, you didn't! You called me a what?
Don't make me wig out
How you gonna let some shit like that slip out your mouth?
(Nah, I was just...)
If I was there, I'd smack you in your smirk (Ooh)
For actin' like a jerk, thought you was cool
But now I doubt the shit is gonna work
I'm not hurt, I'm pissed off, kiss off
Fuck this shit
[Verse 9: Viktor Vaughn]
Wait, I know I play too much
Hey, on the way, could you please pick up two Dutch?
Okay, peace, see you when you touch
I wonder if she ever had her cootie cat ate-ate
Vaughn can't wait to long-stroke it on the late-late

[Verse 10: Apani B Fly as Nikki]
Wait, first, let's get this shit straight-straight (Right now)
Don't call me out my name, I'm not the one to get played-played
Out... Niggas, go figure 'em out
They're all the same-same with a lame-lame story
Like my ex-man Mike
Got my best friend pregnant and he still tryin' to call me
Well, fuck Mike and fuck Vik, too
I wound up on Prozac from all the shit he put me through
Only been off my prescription three weeks
And you got me flippin', rippin' my hair out
Never thought you'd treat me like a pigeon, I'm out
It's over, I'm gone, so long

[Refrain: Apani & Viktor]
I'd rather masturbate than fuck with Vik Vaughn
I'd rather masturbate than fuck with Vik Vaughn
Let me watch
I'd rather masturbate than fuck with Vik Vaughn

[Outro: Viktor]
Still... so.. so-so what time you gonna be here, yo?
Aight?
You know I'm gonna be waitin', yo, just holla and ring the buzzer
Three



@sam-nuts

@@viledestroyerx8441 so starting at 0:26, DOOM starts rapping, i'll highlight the measures

Measure 1: Mmm... My cousin's friend's friend wanna meet me
Measure 2: Saw V on TV, said she need a sweetie
Measure 3: Heard he was the type to do her name in graffiti
Measure 4: And greet her with a kiss *mwah*, straight gentlemanly stee, a G
Measure 5: Whatever's meant to be is meant to be

After measure 3, the bass goes back from the other notes to the original bass note which has become the key of the beat, so that's why it's phrased into 3 + 2 measures.

Then, after measure 5, the beat pattern restarts. I'll give an example of another beat with the beat pattern of 4, like the vast majority of hip hop songs, with Meat Grinder from Madvillainy.

Measure 1: Tripping off the beat kinda, dripping off the meat grinder
Measure 2: Heat niner, pimping, stripping, soft sweet c-minor
Measure 3: China was a neat signer, trouble with the script
Measure 4: Digits double dipped, bubble lipped, subtle lisp midget

After measure 4, Madlib adds in a new sample because that's when the beat restarts fully in my mind and probably in his. I said that Let me Watch was phrased into 5 measures when in most other songs in 4 measures because the beat restarts/loops after 5 measures, and I honestly don't think I've ever heard another hip hop song phrased like this, and DOOM + Apani B both take this kind of weird way of phrasing a beat and use it amazingly.

I hope that explained it well, sorry for the kinda long explanation!
