Verse 1 : Asphyxiate all of ‘em gamanis / The fix is great, throw some mo’ at me / « You’re poor, papi, plus your face sloppy » / She sold her ass in Abu Dhabi / Ja Rule had Ashanti, as I cruised through the shanty town / Saw a shawty, should’ve said « Enchanté » (she cute) / Was a tourist, could’ve showed me ‘round / Could have showed me around / On me, more than her salary / In me, more calories / Uncovered wrist, I don’t watch time, time watches me, catches me / Consciously, livin’ savagely, cabbage lit / Strict like Popovich (I’m the coach) / Trick like Maravich / Gamanis, they don’t care for shit / The sleeping bear, now a blarin’ snitch / Long hair like Nowitzki / The fadeaway risky / I’m takin’ 3-pointers, hittin’ the bonus / Errthing you do so pointless / Now, you accusin’ opponents / System got you on hold, y’all still in your hole / Y’all get mad like McEnroe / Grab your racket and throw it / Scare the front row, act like a scarecrow / But the crops don’t grow
Chorus : I’m observin / They up servin’ / I’m observin’ / They got servants / I’m observin’ / They assertin’ from behind the curtains / I’m observin (x2) / I’m with her and / I’m observin’ (x2) / Life’s absurd and / I’m so uncertain / I’m observin / So uncertain
Verse 2 : She tokin’ on wee-wee / Sergio Tacchini / Salmon wrapped in the seaweed / Fish in a bikini / View angles like Mongols with eagles / Trappers they feel me / Push aside that thong / Simultaneous moan / No more telephone, straight up to the room, Al Capone / Unbutton the damier LV piece like Alpo / MVP, so she like when we in the dark, Edgar Al Poe / I told her « Be indiscrete », we no longer in the streets / So we shagged and then we had leaves / Bed wet like the seas / And I’m floatin’ (x2) / Panoramic view of my life / Panoramix soup as I hike / Pharmaceutics get them light / Farms and zoos inside they hide / Waitin’ for Noah to help ‘em ride the tide / Ride or die, why do that? Are you shy ? / Intimidate you like a shah / You choose, I’m the shop / Got a shot at the charts like Rashad / It’s so easy to see / Hard to feel / The prophecy that’s got in me
Chorus
