[00:16.62]Status
[00:22.14]{Lif}
[00:25.08]I was mad dip
[00:26.01]Butterfly collars and ****
[00:27.54]Chains from the slave ship
[00:28.89]Dreads with the wave kit
[00:30.18]Bifocals and wing-tips
[00:31.68]Velvet pants and a velour coat
[00:33.54]Looked in the mirror
[00:34.26]"Damn I look ****"
[00:35.43]Folded up the singles in my loot-clip
[00:37.68]Put a sock in my pants on some Uncle Luke ****
[00:40.50]Dressed to impress
[00:41.55]Now I'm ready to go
[00:42.60]The club is twelve blocks away
[00:44.10]And I got no loot, so
[00:45.51]I walk ten and take a cab for two
[00:48.09]Black duct tape over the hole in my shoe
[00:50.55]I've got the hottest dance steps:
[00:51.96]Running Man, Cabbage Patch
[00:53.22]Plus the Robocop, then I bring back the Walk
[00:55.65]Jaws will drop, and all the ladies will flock
[00:58.20]Brothers thinking, "What he got that I ain't got"
[01:00.66]I'll tell ya fella, it's written in my best seller
[01:03.15]It started to rain, I got no umbrella
[01:05.64]The walking turned to running
[01:06.93]Still I look stunning
[01:08.31]Covered enough ground before my
[01:09.66]Taxi could summon
[01:10.89]Got to the spa and hopped out at the front
[01:13.05]Tripped over the curb, limping cuz my toes were stubbed
[01:15.66]Then I tried to give pounds to people I didn't know ("yo, what's up y'all!")
[01:18.24]At Lucy & Joe's, my destination was the back door
[01:20.91]Not because the bouncer told me not to come back
[01:23.34]I'm just sneaking in the club because I got it like that
[01:25.68]{Insight}
[01:46.05]I remember when you used to be broke
[01:48.00]Ignored when you spoke
[01:49.38]And people would take you for a joke
[01:51.51]You used to go to the club, and look like a scrub
[01:54.36]But couldn't afford the admission
[01:56.58]From outside you're looking in
[01:58.17]Waiting for a chance to slip by
[01:59.94]You slide through the back door
[02:01.59]But you wasn't supposed to be there
[02:03.33]You'd look like an idiot if you got caught, but you didn't care
[02:06.72]Just as long as you got your groove on
[02:08.64]It was smooth sailing, they was playing the Thong Song
[02:11.76]You're feeling shorty with the boots on
[02:14.13]Cutting through the crowd sideways, it's time to move strong
[02:16.77]To cool kick it, say something slick off the top
[02:18.81]Flash your jewels, fix your suit
[02:20.16]Fidgeting with your wristwatch
[02:21.66]But while you was in the corner acting the big shot.?
[02:24.69]They threw on some hip-hop
[02:27.09]People got on the dance floor
[02:28.98]And a bouncer saw you standing at the corner near the door ("Hey you!")
[02:32.04]He started walking your way, to muscle you out
[02:35.10]Since you refused to pay
[02:37.08]So there was nothing for you to say
[02:39.18]When he blew up your spot
[02:40.35]And threw you out the front to the floor
[02:41.67]("I told you not to come back here!")
[02:42.39]Past the bar on the right through the double doors
[02:44.49]You mumbled and swore, stumbled and tripped on the pavement
[02:46.92]("Goddamn.")
[02:47.22]People in line started laughing ("Haha!")
[02:48.93]When they threw you half-ass
[02:50.10]Screaming that you wasn't allowed back in
[02:52.26]But that was back, acting like nothing happened
[02:54.48]You patted your Tims off, depressed from embarrassment
[02:57.45]It could have been fresh, it would have been lavish
[02:59.52]One day you'll make it and won't have to deal with this madness
