《One For The Griot》歌词

[00:00:00] 作词: Cadet, Pritchard

[00:00:05] I like how, when you turn the intercom up

[00:00:07] Like all that little background noise

[00:00:09] When the beat comes in

[00:00:11] That's real smooth man

[00:00:12] F**k studios, just happen to be here

[00:00:17] Aight, whatever

[00:00:18] [J-Live

[00:00:20] Yo,

[00:00:21] He woke up in a daze, back achin'

[00:00:23] Breath smellin' like liquor, dick smellin' like sex

[00:00:25] Head throbbin' like the bass from the club last night

[00:00:28] No idea how he left, needless to say, perplexed

[00:00:31] As he looked around the room that he never been in

[00:00:33] Candles all around the bed, sheets quite feminine

[00:00:36] Bucked naked with his kicks on

[00:00:37] Breakaway jeans, drawers and sweater were all on the bedroom floor

[00:00:41] He heard singin' from the shower from the bathroom door

[00:00:44] Sounded like Melvin Moore but he couldn't be sure

[00:00:46] She had a sexy ass voice but she was so off-key

[00:00:49] Couldn't 'member how she looked, couldn't wait to see

[00:00:51] Hopin' that it was the girl, third floor of the club

[00:00:54] The one that let him grab her ass when they twisted the dub

[00:00:57] Or perhaps it was the dime from the guest list line

[00:00:59] Either one and several others would've suited him fine

[00:01:02] From the bed to the bathroom, a voice said "come in"

[00:01:05] Gradually now, he starts to remember

[00:01:07] Peeped through the shower curtain, like bachelor number three

[00:01:10] Pleasantly surprised to see that it was the bartender

[00:01:12] And 'tender was the operative word

[00:01:14] She had a body like a cello with legs, I mean, the ass was absurd

[00:01:18] Long neck, smooth skin, pretty face, kooky nipples

[00:01:20] Eyes wider than hips, full lips between dimples

[00:01:23] She said "how did you sleep?"He said he didn't know

[00:01:25] She asked "was it good for you too?""I think so

[00:01:28] But I really can't remember what went down last night"

[00:01:30] She told him "take off your shoes, we can replay the highlights"

[00:01:33] Stepped out the shower in a daze, legs achin'

[00:01:36] Breath short from the eff, dick wrapped in a hat

[00:01:38] Wide open cuz it was the last from a twelve-pack

[00:01:41] Spit four in the shower till his tire went flat

[00:01:44] She thought he was all that

[00:01:45] She said "I don't have to work today

[00:01:46] Take a little nap so we can do it again"

[00:01:49] No sooner than she said it, keys jingled, door slammed

[00:01:51] He said "please baby, please don't let it be your boyfriend

[00:01:54] For the love of basketball, Mademoiselle, look

[00:01:56] I ain't Biggie Smalls, I don't even want a story to tell

[00:01:59] I'm a lover, not a fighter, alright"

[00:02:01] But then a girl walked in

[00:02:02] Saw him naked and said "What the hell?!"

[00:02:05] Time stood still as he thought to himself,

[00:02:07] "This reminds me of a beer commercial back in the day"

[00:02:10] She's too young to be her mother, so he asked, "How you doin'?

[00:02:12] Would you care to join in?"She said, "*is you crazy?

[00:02:15] See this ring on my finger?That's my wife you was f**kin'

[00:02:17] My name ain't Ronald ???, don't try to play me out"

[00:02:20] She reached in her purse for the little pearl handle

[00:02:23] He splashed her in the face with the wax from the candle

[00:02:26] The 'tender ran back into the bathroom, screamin'

[00:02:28] Slipped on the condom wrapper, broke her pretty little neck

[00:02:31] The burnt-face wife pulled a gun on the dude

[00:02:33] Famous last words: "I ain't mean you no disrespect!"

[00:02:37] [Talking

[00:02:38] Wow!That was crazy

[00:02:39] Yo J, that was cool and all (uh huh)

[00:02:41] But what's up with the violent ending, man?

[00:02:44] Is it possible for it to end a little more pleasant?

[00:02:46] [Chorus

[00:02:47] What if the story woulda ended like this?

[00:02:49] I'ma kick it again but only with a slight twist

[00:02:51] It goes one for the griot

[00:02:53] Two for da gods

[00:02:54] Three to flip the script, cuz it ain't that hard

[00:02:56] Check it out

[00:02:57] Time stood still as he thought to himself,

[00:02:59] "This reminds me of a beer commercial back in the day"

[00:03:02] She's too young to be her mother;"Would you care to join in?"

[00:03:04] She was butt naked under her coat, he was amazed

[00:03:07] At the second wind kickin' in, thinkin' 'bout the fact

[00:03:10] That he almost didn't go to the club, woulda been wack

[00:03:12] If he missed out on the greatest love of his life

[00:03:15] Imagine if he stayed home with his wife

[00:03:17] Cuz girl two, yo her body made the 'tender look like a fender bender

[00:03:20] The three of them together turned the bed to a blender

[00:03:23] He left like five hours later with a permanent tease

[00:03:26] And feels he will ever remember

[00:03:28] [Talking

[00:03:28] C'mon J,

[00:03:29] There's no way my man got laid quite like that

[00:03:33] It just don't happen

[00:03:34] It's like a porno or somethin'

[00:03:35] And what about his wife?

[00:03:37] She didn't even say nothin'?

[00:03:37] She didn't page him?

[00:03:46] [Chorus

[00:03:49] Time stood still as he thought to himself,

[00:03:52] "This reminds me of a beer commercial back in the day"

[00:03:54] She's too young to be her mother, so he asked, "How you doin'?"

[00:03:57] She said "Eww!It smells like somebody been screwin'!

[00:03:59] I hope it wasn't y'all"then she started laughin'

[00:04:02] He said "What's so funny?"She said "You don't know the half!"

[00:04:04] She was starin' at the joint with a f**ked-up smile

[00:04:07] She said "I can come back if you gon' be here for a while

[00:04:10] But between me and you, and my roommate too

[00:04:12] What I'm 'bout to say might just be a little snafu

[00:04:15] In your plans!Put it like this, she used to be a dude!"

[00:04:19] (Yeah, how's that for a plot twist)

[00:04:21] He asked the 'tender was it true

[00:04:22] She said "*, I told you last night, my man. I thought you knew!"

[00:04:25] [Talking

[00:04:27] Ewww, *!(Hahaha)

[00:04:29] For real?(Yeah, man)

[00:04:31] Uh uh, man you're sick (Hahaha)

[00:04:39] For real?You got dat homie, I'm out
