Lyrics

[Chorus]
Damn, damn, damn, James
Damn, damn, damn, James
Damn, damn, damn, James
Damn, damn, damn, James
[Verse 1]
Dickie shorts, Lincoln's clean
Leanin', checkin' out the scene
Gangsta boys, Bigga's lit
Ridin' out, talkin' shit
****, where you wanna go?
You know, the club don't close till four
Let's party till we can't no more
Watch out, here come the folk
Damn, oh, Lord
[Verse 2]
As the plot thickens, it gives me the Dickens, reminiscent of Charles
A lil' discotheque nestled in the ghettos of Niggaville, USA
Via Atlanta, Georgia
A lil' spot where young men and young women go to experience they first lil' taste of the night life
Me? Well, I've never been there
Well, perhaps once, but I
Was so engulfed in the Old E, I never made it to the door
You speak of hardcore
While the DJ's sweatin' out all the problems and troubles of the day
While this fine, bowlegged girl, fine as all outdoors
Lulls lukewarm lullabies in yo' left ear
Competin' with "Set It Off" in the right
But it all blends perfectly
Let the liquor tell it
Hey, hey, look baby, they playin' our song
And the crowd goes wild
As if Holyfield just won the fight
But in actuality, it's only 'bout 3:00 AM
And three **** just done got hauled off in an ambulance (Sliced up)
Two **** done start bustin' (Wham, wham)
One **** done took his shirt off, talkin' 'bout
"Now who else wanna fuck with Hollywood Court?"
This just my interpretation
Of the situation
[Chorus]
Yeah
Damn, damn, damn, James
Damn, damn, damn, James
Damn, damn, damn, James
Damn, damn, damn, James
[Verse 3]
Yes, when I first met my SpottieOttieDopaliscious angel
I can remember that damn thang like yesterday
The way she moved reminded me of a brown stallion horse with skates on, ya know?
Smooth like a hot comb on nappy ass hair
I walked up on her and was almost paralyzed
Her neck was smellin' sweeter than a plate of yams with extra syrup
Eyes beamin' like four karats apiece, just blindin' a ****
Felt like I chiefed a whole O of that Presidential, my heart was beatin' so damn fast
Never knowin' this moment would bring another life into this world
Funny how shit come together sometimes, ya dig?
One moment, you frequent the booty clubs and the next four years, you and somebody daughter raisin' y'all own youngin'
Now, that's a beautiful thang
That's if you on top of yo' game and man enough to handle real life situations, that is
Can't gamble feedin' baby on that dope money
Might not always be sufficient
But the United Parcel Service and the people at the Post Office didn't call you back because you had cloudy piss
So now you back in the trap
Just that, trapped
Go on and marinate on that for a minute
[Outro]
Damn
James
