Lyrics
[Verse 1]
People hear and wonder and they wanna know how and why
But let me first introduce myself, I'm tagged the name Romye
I'm 20 years of age, I ran across some bullshit
People promise you bowl of cherries, but don't forget there are pits
[Verse 2]
No hits, it's quits, it's back to water and grits
They got another boy who can rhyme and do the fly flips
And that I, hi, I better get by because my ally
About to flip that crazy shit while I got look for some thai
[Verse 3]
I need some zig-zag, zig-zag
I need some zig-zag, zig-zag
I need some zig-zag, zig-zag
How I love to get high
[Verse 4]
Oh, what the heck?
**** just wanna get wrecked to the track
It's brand new and heavy as a Chevy and in fact
The Pharcyde is coming and I hope we're not whack
But at this point, there's no turning back
[Verse 5]
But to be exact, I've got more flavors than a bucket full of fruit
In '92 we take cash, '93 we take loot
Because the vinyl is delicious, I'm the **** who's ambitious
Michael Ross is the genie, he's giving us our wishes
[Verse 6]
One, I wanna just jam with your band
You gotta play it all across the land
The plan is grab the ducats and say fuck it to the critics, hey now
[Verse 7]
I was walking down the street, belling to the beat
Phat beats in my head, tennis shoes on my feet
**** tried to flex, but he had to be smoked
So I shot him in the ass on the downstroke
[Verse 8]
Shot him in the ass on the downstroke, what?
Shot him in the ass on the downstroke, yep
Shot him in the ass on the downstroke
Shot him in the ass on the downstroke
Shot him in the ass on the downstroke
Shot him in the ass on the downstroke
Shot him in the ass on the downstroke
Shot him in the ass on the downstroke
[Verse 9]
Souped on the beat like a bowl of chicken noodle
I love Spanish dishes but no I'm not Menudo
I can dig kung-fu, I flip hoes like Judo
Never date a chick who has a mom name Bruno
[Verse 10]
A anna-banana, banana-fana-funo, yet you now Shafino
Met her in a trio
Souped up my glass jet flew her ass to Rio
I'm somewhere Creole, don't like the man of steel
[Verse 11]
I'm not your carbon copy but your first rap jalopy, for real
I used to deal but the fuzz popped me
I had the hydros but they repo'd my crops and steel
I chills like scotch on the rocks
'Cause I just gets paid for them hard-core props, ya know?
[Verse 12]
How long can you freak the funk?
How long can you freak the funk?
I separate the good stuff from the junk
How long can you freak the funk?
[Verse 13]
Yeah, freak the funk
Alright, freak the funk
Freak the funk
Freak the funk
Freak the funk
Freak the funk
[Verse 14]
I want the farmer man, farmer man
I want the farmer man, you want the farmer man?
Yeah, I want the farmer man, you don't want no farmer man
Give me the farmer man, once again, it's the farmer man
[Verse 15]
I go from skip-skop to hip-hop to be-bop to P-funk
Cutting enough bullshit to turn a tree into a tree trunk
'Cause we've sunk ships from the Pacific to the Atlantic
I dig dips who've got the hips that are gigantic 'cause I'm frantic
[Verse 16]
Take you in a frenzy
Taking you out is easier than pulling a pull-out out of a Benzie
Box while I rocks the orthodox styles to make you squirm
Yes, I come from Cali, no I do not have a perm
[Verse 17]
I stand firm on the mic device when I gets nice
Don't roll the dice if you can't pay the price
I got more flavor than 7-11 slurpees
If Magic can admit he got AIDS, fuck it, I got herpes
