Hey yo what's up baby, what's your name?
What kind of accent is that?
It's a French accent, you know I'm French, I'm from France
Don't you think it's sexy?
No, that's not a sexy accent
Oh, don't you like it?
Why you try to diss me now?
Oh please
Oh please what?
Love mean French, French mean love
Everybody love my accent
Why nobody like it?
Q-Tip write a story about me
What is that?
Oh, I'm sexy and I'm French
Everybody love my accent
I'm the best, yes
Yeah, je t'aime mean I love you
I love you means je t'aime
I teach you French, I make you French good

Brother, brother, brother
Lucien, you're like no other
Listen very close cause I don't like to boast
Instead I'll tell the tale of the French who prevail
Through the Mr. Crazy Rabbits who are always on his tail
Rent ain't on sale, your roommate starts to wail
Get caught with stolen goods and you will go to jail
If you go to jail then who will pay the bail?
Deport you back to France on a ship with a sail
Escargot, Lucien, you eat snails?
From the Zulu Nation from a town called Paris
Came to America to find liberty
Instead of finding pleasure all you found was misery
But listen Lucien, you have a friend in me
Oh, luck, luck'll drive your butt daddy
Next time you fix some wheels, make it a Caddy
In terms of doin' good I know you wish you really could
But listen brother man, I really think you can
Succeed with the breed of the brothers who you bat
It's the crème de la crème
And you can vouch for that, it'll take a minute rice
So take my advice
Trust in us, unless you trust in your life
Lucien, Lucien, Lucien, Lucien

Are you ready, Lou?
This one is for you
Comin' from a true blue
Fits like a shoe
Como esta usted, o como t'allez-vous?
Lucien, I'll leave it up to you
Watch that lass gonna backflash fast
Can you get a grip on the crackhead dip?
Sold you a paper bag, guess he saw you comin'
VCR from a neckbone bummin'
Ten dollars brother, he was hummin' and strummin'
Only had twenty, he was livin' like he's slummin'
Gave him the money, well I thought that was somethin'
Lookin' like a kid who was lost and crummin'
Don't worry 'bout a thing, I won't get specific
This is a song that is long and prolific
Think of the stuff that I said if you can
Figure it out, compute, understand
No problemo, I'll help you with your demo
If you go to the store for me
Lucien, I'm just kiddin', you should know
Oh Tip man, why you do that to me, man?
I thought you was a friend, word
Oh man, I can't believe that
Oh, why you do that to me?
I wasn't really like this
I can do it by myself
Yo Tip, you're the one who's a fool

You gotta get a grip on the missions you be takin'
Not so much the mission but you got crazy ignition
Sure the sugar babies wanna give you a chance
With the French savoir faire and the sexy glance
But is she really fly or is she a guy?
I won't ask why cause I know that you try
You try too hard, is that the answer to the riddle?
Instead of doin' so much why don't you do just a little?
Boy what a cad, I guess we shouldn't treat him bad
In fact it would be nice if we understood him right
A case of position and the feet in the shoes
Sympathetic reason in the case of the blues
Lucien is blue even though he's really brown
I had to make the sound, his life is too profound
On the up and up he's somethin' like a little pup
Young and naive, it's hard to believe
As long as you're strong you can quest with the Questers
Jolly like a jumping bean or a jester
Lucien, Lucien, Lucien, Lucien
You should know
Oh Tip, everything's gonna be alright now, I think so
I should've listened to you, man
I think I'm going home, man
Alright, I think I'm outta here now
Oh peace, just peace, I'm outta here
