(feat. Lateef The Truth Speaker and Pigeon John) [Verse One: Lateef The Truth Speaker] When you first walked in and I saw you at the bar or somethin' I ain't really wanna holler or nothin' I just pegged you as the type for frontin' Steady chucklin' with your girlfriends actin' contrary and cluckin' But ya song came on, and somethin' changed in the way she was movin' along Eyelashes caught flashes of the possibilities, maybe this one is the one for me She's movin' to the dance floor, we'll see What I seen was inspirational, highly motivational Had to maneuver the set, up to confrontationals Even though it was my chance to mack I already did my dance, had the reservoir tapped Hit me like a thunder clap, though Can't let somethin' that fat pass BY, why asks why? Made my way through the crowd with the side to side Then I pushed up on the tush 'cause, uh, I ain't shy! Said, "Excuse me Miss, but I liked what I saw" When she spoke, I damn near dropped my jaw! HELL NAW! I can't believe she SAID that shit! I need to call my sister, "Come up through and check this chick! And put some sense in her, cause her IQ 'bout six" Bein' that, stu-pid in pub-lic there should be a law against I mean, she didn't have a CLUE, tell you what to do Just SHUT UP, ride the groove, and let's move now [Chorus x2] Side to side to side, times two now Side to side to side, times two now Side to side to side, times two now Side to side to side, times two [Verse Two: Gift of Gab] When I stepped into the coliseum, I was slidin' through Just bein' me, lovin' the space and lettin' everything be free And bein' free to 'til I seen her, me, I popped up, solutions Could it be? She was the one that could make me a believa? Step through the crowd like a bobber and a weaver Couldn't really see the crowd, all that I could see was HER Looked directly in her eyes, all that I could see was blurred vision Couldn't really tell if she was prime and ready furr pickin' She was downin' that 'Yac in straight shots Offered me a drink, I told her I was tryin' to stop I thought to reconsider mackin', then she pulled off her top and yelled, NEXT THING I KNOW, SHE WAS DOIN' THE WOP She said, "Gabby, Gabby, Gabbyyy, you need to come and swig" I said, "I think I'm cool, you need to find another nigga" Baby, baby, baby PLEASE, then she dropped down to her KNEES Then I had to leave, I didn't want to contract diseases I said, "Don't take it personal, I think you need Jesus You're movin' kinda fast, you need to stop and just breathe" Hopin' she would have a clue, tell you what to do Just SHUT UP, ride the groove and let's move, now.. [Chorus x2] Side to side to side, times two now Side to side to side, times two now Side to side to side, times two now Side to side to side, times two [Verse Three: Pigeon John] As soon as I walked in the DO'-woe-woe The rati-o was in favor of me, 'cause as far as I could see all the bitties on the FLO'-woe-woe was movin' in such a way in the heat, kinda made me wanna pee Leavin' ME wanting MO'-woe-woe But I was scared, of major defeat, 'cause I saw the girl Lateef was dancin' with sayin' NO-woe-woe and Gab was wrestlin' with a freak who was topless I was intimated to SHOW, any interest at ALL I just stood still, pressed against the walllll (that's when I saw her) Time froze, the ice around my heart e-RODED Glasses she looked like a spy, wanna decode it I said, "My name is Pi-Pi-Pigeon Johnny" Stuttered a little bit, felt like a big DU-mmy She said I didn't have a clue, she told me what to do - She said, "SHUT UP and ride the groove" I said, "Okay", like.. [Chorus x2] Side to side to side, times two now Side to side to side, times two now Side to side to side, times two now Side to side to side, times two [Intro to "Automatique" - Natalie Stewart of Floetry] If you gonna be creative, y'know You're ultimately offering yourself as a sacrifice A sacrifice of, channeling something, bigger than yourself and existing here at the same time, y'know Being measured upon your words when you're channeling yourself at higher than your state is a pre' serious, jump to take on So, if they truly about, the word poetry, singing, writing, and drawing and painting or however it is, then y'know want us to realize we're here to record ripples of vanity, y'know Ripples of mathematics, that's really what you're dealing with...
