Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yo, Monalisa, could I get a date on Friday?
And if you're busy, I wouldn't mind takin' Saturday
Round up de posse, Fugee comin' around their way
[Verse 2]
Yo, yo, nappy head
Yo, whats up?
What you got there?
Huh, I got some of that lyrical
Word?
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm a Libra, y'all
Well, I'm a Libra, y'all
[Verse 4]
You wanna battle swing I bring commandin' men like I was king
In all your dreams, I write the horror flick of Stephen King
Cling to false also those paper say ock
I got tired of the fat lady so I sing to my own opera
[Verse 5]
Balang, balang, balang to the man, the rock, 'cause I love thee
If you live by the sword you will be die by the gun
'Cause all guys tell lies and more girls commits it
I was ordered to Code Red, but now I'm chillin' with A Few Good Men
[Verse 6]
Assassination on the kid from the capitol
I never play the soap opera, but now I'm in General Hospital
Condition critical, spirit over who's the physical?
So if I die, catch me at the funeral
[Verse 7]
I'll fly away, oh, glory with the mic in my hands
To a land where only God knows me
And the angels write raps on holy paper
I said, I'm looking for Jesus, he said, take the escalator
[Verse 8]
One flight up is guaranteed you'll be there
My sister'd be there, my mother'd be there
So, Monalisa, could I get a date on a Friday?
And if you're busy, I wouldn't mind takin' Saturday
Round up de posse, Fugee comin' around their way
[Verse 9]
I don't puff so I always got my breath
Never had to battle with a bulletproof vest
They call me cock weasel but I still cave a chest
I don't wear Jheri curls 'cause I'm nah from the west
[Verse 10]
No disrespect to the west, true indeed
I rock it to the east, the east is the seed
To see that them days back, yo sheep skins and Hot Tracks
Peace to Mr. Magic, things are gettin' tragic
[Verse 11]
Now we on some new stuff, I never feared the Ku Klux
My own clan is actin' up, I blame it on the Phillie blunt
Whatcha gonna do? Kids are actin', oohhh
Hill is gettin' f****ed up, yo where's the corporate at?
[Verse 12]
A Mister Three-Piece-Suit
Check the square roots, Girbauds and Timberland boots
Nah, that's the serpents and know them garments tips
I got a head full of problems and a hand full of nappy roots
I feel a Jones comin' down, yo I
[Verse 13]
I got the slang to make the chitty bang, bang
A rid dang de dang the nappy head bang
No, I got the slang to make the chitty bang, bang
A rid dang de dang the nappy heads bang
[Verse 14]
Yo, Monalisa, could I get a date on Friday?
And if you're busy, I wouldn't mind takin' Saturday
Round up de posse, Fugee comin' around their way
Nappy heads in the zone and we're not goin' home
[Verse 15]
Hey yo, a battle is a battle but a battle's not a battle
If it's snake doesn't rattle
'Cause my style as old as a reptile
As slick as a new Nile, as new as a new child
[Verse 16]
So come follow me to the land of Abraham
This land's your land, this land's my land
The blacker the black man, the better the next man
Yo, some nappy heads need to check their necks for red
[Verse 17]
I feel injection, put the needle to your skin feel reality's ****
You maintain to put a negro in pain you used to diss me
Oh, you wanna hang out with Eddie Kane?
[Verse 18]
Ain't nothing wrong, snap your head to the song
Word is bond, you get wrong, I'll have you sing like Louis Armstrong
And I say to myself, what a wonderful world
But what the hell was so wonderful 'bout pickin' cotton in the farm
Mr. Slave Man?
[Verse 19]
The harder they come, the harder they fall, so come one come all
Don't stall or I'ma stick you like a Voodoo doll
Doors locked stop drawer for the counts who drops
You slept on a kid from the boondocks
[Verse 20]
Out of Motorville land of the ill kill
Bellsburg Viking so you know I'm top rankin' Phil
Some say who comin' like the Yuma but save the rumor
'Cause I've been rockin' ever since '82 when I used to rock my Puma
[Verse 21]
Yes, yes, y'all, well, I'm a Libra, y'all
Yes, yes, yes, well, I'm a Libra, y'all
Yes, yes, y'all, well, I'm a Libra, y'all
Oh, come on, well I'm a Libra, y'all
[Verse 22]
Yo, Monalisa, could I get a date on Friday?
And if you're busy, I wouldn't mind takin' Saturday
Round up de posse, Fugee comin' around their way
Nappy heads in the zone and we're not goin' home
[Verse 23]
Yo, Monalisa, could I get a date on Friday?
And if you're busy, I wouldn't mind takin' Saturday
Round up de posse, Fugee comin' around their way
Nappy heads in the zone and we're not goin' home
[Verse 24]
I wear my sunglasses at night
To spy on my girlfriend, that's right
They dancin', romancin', freakin' at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
To spy on my girlfriend, that's right
They dancin', romancin', freakin' at night
