Lyrics

Smoothed out without the R&B

Mercy, come on

Mercy, come on, y'all

Mercy, come on

There's no R&B in this song

Now, come along, fly children, come along

Come along, fly children, come along

Come along, fly children, come along

There's no R&B in this song

Pushed up a dame, by the name of Crystal

Her flaunt's to the point, as like a missile

A habit with ears, kiddin' with gold mags

And since she fancies facial hair, she asked my name, uh

Hey, baby, what's your name?

Now, ever so fab, I said, "I'm Wala"

Miss Wild, who used to run tough with Koala

She was a winner of my metaphor and she knew that

I said, "I'm gonna feed your mouth," she said, "You do that"

Now, Crystal stop the jeep, I think I'm mad fly

She used to have a man wit' lots of mad signs

Her strut was guaranteed to make a gay smile

And in bed, she had proved to be real agile

I show her to her lounge and I dine her

Then she gave me some digits where I could find her

I licked her like a stamp

Later, sticked her like a champ

But the (Tramp) gave me burn

I had to go see the doctor

(3 days later) Skeezer, skeezer, skeezer (Uhh)

(3 days later) Skeezer, skeezer, skeezer (Oh, yeah)

(3 days later) Skeezer, skeezer, skeezer

(3 days later) Skeezer, skeezer, skeezer

Well, it was thirty after nine and I was loungin'

Tokin' on some smoke 'cause I was poundin'

I rang up Seven Up, so we can skip to the mall

Thinkin' a good day to shop, but then we got stopped

A shooter man said, "Yo, well it's a stick up"

A whole lot of dirt was 'bout to kick up

I had screens in my pocket

And man, tonight's my date

With Smokey Sue, now what was I to do?

In my head I'm thinking, "Should I dodge the bullet?"

"Man this kid is bluffin', you can pull it"

I feared the whole scene

The shooter didn't bluff

Now, look at me now

He shot my ass dead

Yeah

You shouldn't have

Well, I did, so let's get in the van

You shouldn't have done that

But I did, so get in the fucking van

I love you, Dave

I, I love you, Dave

I, I love you, Dave

I, I love you, Dave

I, I love you, Dave

Skeezer, skeezer, skeezer

Skeezer, skeezer, skeezer

Skeezer, skeezer, skeezer

Skeezer, skeezer, skeezer
