| Verse One
|
| I didn’t have no money
|
| But my friend called me and he told me bout' a party
|
| Whose going? |
| He told me everybody
|
| So I put on my Pierre Cardin cardy
|
| I gave a quick call to Charlene
|
| But her sister picked up told me that she’s busy sorry
|
| I made my way to the party
|
| Nuff' people inside we packed like sardines
|
| They playing Talib Kweli
|
| They played Bob Marley and even Gnarles Barkley
|
| Now they playing «Ladi Dadi»
|
| We don’t cause trouble we don’t bother nobody
|
| Bre’s' acting like they just joined the army
|
| I spotted three girls sitting in the corner calmly
|
| All dressed up like Barbie
|
| The middle one was Asian and she had a nice body
|
| Sipping lime and Bacardi
|
| I’m looking in her eyes they’re saying «charm me, charm me»
|
| So I said «pardon me
|
| I love the way you smile girl you’re sweet like honey»
|
| Her friend said «don't waste your time honey
|
| She doesn’t speak English only speaks Guajarati»
|
| «don't she understand a word I say?» |
| «Hardly
|
| Plus she got a boyfriend and he’s over by the bar see
|
| Now there’s no need to worry
|
| But the is a boxer kinda' like Muhammad Ali»
|
| «you taking me for Laurel and Hardy
|
| What’s the worst he can do? |
| Feather and tar me?»
|
| I don’t really gotta leave in a hurry
|
| But I just step even though it’s kinda funny
|
| Now I’m on my solitaire
|
| Brock' pocket acting like a millionaire
|
| Searching for my friend but don’t see him anywhere
|
| Probably went out to get fresh air
|
| So I pulled up a chair
|
| And kicked back like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
|
| Feeling kinda' fly in the clothes that I wear
|
| Had some fresh Nike-Air and my Pierre Cardin
|
| I get recognised by a bre'
|
| Trying to talk to me on some reh teh teh'
|
| He was kinda' boring me like Tony Blair, Blair, Blair
|
| So I listened to him then I told him «yeah, yeah, yeah»
|
| Am I bothered? |
| Do I care?
|
| Looked at the time and the time was weird
|
| It said 14:20 oh my watch ain’t repaired
|
| Then I felt like a beer
|
| Double check my pocket but there ain’t' no money there
|
| It only made me more aware
|
| I need to work harder just to have a better year
|
| Cos life ain’t' easy when you’re broke man I swear |
