(Let me in of love)
Ladies
I got you in the mood, for an interlude
Raw like in the nude, I hope this ain't considered rude
But let's stop talkin, 'cause it's feelin like an interview
I know you into me so let me get into you
I'm always in the mood for laughin' and lovin' and rappin' and (fuck!)
Passin' the dutch and relaxin' and puffin' and hittin' and duckin'
The rippin' production, these kittens ain't muffins
Just because we stuff 'em in the oven
My words drippin' off the tongue like the wax from a candle wick
It'll the way I lay down the rap; they can't handle it
Cats all sappy like romantic flicks, dude, get a clue
Like Colonel Mustard in the study with a candlestick
They holdin' hands with these dudes like they goin' steady
But one glimpse and I know they ready, you already know
Slipped her a note like, "You ready to go?
We make a getaway plan and we head for the do!"
I wear the night like a cloak 'cause I move with the stars (c'mon)
Navigate through the truly bizarre
Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life
And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight
I wear the night like a cloak 'cause I move with the stars (yea-yea-yeah, yeah)
Navigate through the truly bizarre (Jesus!)
Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life (uh-uh, uh-uh)
And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight (whoo!)
You messin' up my mo', my whole mood, told y'all, oh
Lose, eat crews like crews like soulfood
The only producer that feel like, "Fuck, rappers!"
Only backpacker with a chip like hackers
Only Michael Richardson, only much blacker
So if he say nigga, then I'ma say
Is this the Ritz? Carlton? Dress like, fresh like, just like
I'm the shit (ugh!)
You ain't figured out what I'm about yet
Always rockin' that this ain't out yet
But this ain't 'bout that
From a city where niggers plug like outlets
Far as music go yo, it ain't no outlets, so
When I go out, niggas always out to get me in the studio
And I ain't in the mood to flow
I'm with my girl and I'm tryna hit the movies, yo
And they tryna act stupid, oh!
In the club with Silicone Suzie
What happened to real girls like Rudy?
With real titties like Tooty
This girl got a silicone booty!
And got the nerve to act moody!
Now I ain't tryna judge like Judy
But bitch, you a man, you can't fool me
Act like Fifty, throw her in a pool G
I wear the night like a cloak 'cause I move with the stars (yeah)
Navigate through the truly bizarre (uh, uh, uh)
Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life
And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight
I wear the night like a cloak 'cause I move with the stars (c'mon)
Navigate through the truly bizarre
Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life
And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight
Break it down
Uh, what?
Uh-ah, uh-ah, ah
Uh-ah, uh-ah, ah, yeah
(Do- what?) Uh-ah, uh-ah, ah, what?
Uh-ah, uh-ah, ah, what? (Do- what?)
Uh-ah, uh-oh, yeah (do- what?)
Bringin' the drum, keep it funky like a stink in a slum
'Cause see they wanna breed cursin' for the things that don't come
The speaker's wrong that we rap dudes speakin' in tongues
Christmas time, choice for what? No we keepin' our guns
Smokin' a piff to cause a leak in your lungs
You ain't got shit to do like Friday when the weekend begun
Completely done with rap dudes, don't compete with the dumb
I spill my blood for the people, see how deep it can run?
I'm in the mood like Dante and Main Flow
Never comin' with the same flow, got it's change, yo
It's strange, yo, to make yo chain glow, that's yo main goal
That's a facade like I'm somewhere over the rainbow
Really, these cats sweeter than mangoes, Mr Bonjangles-ass dudes
Dancin' around the club, doin' the tango
Go hard like Iverson playin' with hurt ankles
Plus, wrestle the topic from a different Kurt Angle!
I wear the night like a cloak 'cause I move with the stars (c'mon)
Navigate through the truly bizarre
Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life
And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight
I wear the night like a cloak 'cause I move with the stars (c'mon)
Navigate through the truly bizarre
Who we are, who we is, it's the kids that stay true to this life
And if the mood is right, we gon' do it tonight
Wow, that's a nice track!
