Scrilla Vic - The Undertow Lyrics
You looked closely couldn’t believe what ya’ saw so you took a closer lookAnd realized that ya’ spots been tookOut from under-What a blunder-Should’ve looked before ‘ya leapThen leaped into the lions mouth and now want to retreatTo a higher ground and look down on the peoples who ain’t where ‘ya atPlayed ya’ cards on one hand - luck ran out – fallen flatNow there’s no way back. Try a new plan of attackCuz ya’ went head up and met up wit some dudes who won’t let upI’m fed up wit you and your wack ass crew All about the hos, man you need to get a clueGo pop a sadsong for someone who really caresYou say payback’s a *****, but you ain’t ever been thereTo experience what it is. Now you’re fiendin’ for show bizBrains for a dollar. Lead on from the collar.Mouth foamin’ for a piece of the actionGive a dog a bone? It’s like watchin’ rover roll over in his graveWhen he finds it’s his path to a permanent vacationSix feet deep – Too late to you say won’t sleepYour sorry ass is used up and dryer than a cactus. Too late for practice.Knew you’d bat your lashesLike a ho for the camera lickin’ up the lensHold your breath when goin’ under and your quick to catch the benzBendin’ over lettin’ labels take everything ya’ gotNever had a lot so keep openin’ your crotchCuz your bound to get pimped ‘til you limp, and get thrownBut still can’t get your nose up cuz you’re caught up by the undertow.Don’t get swept away by the undertowDon’t get caught up in the undertowThink twice before you test the undertowIt’s takin’ ‘you under. It’s takin’ you underThey say beauty’s in the eye of the beholderWell she’s got the beholders in check cuz she demands respectSmooth sophistication – scintillatin’ conversationSavoir faire beyond compare, man – I even staredAt the dozen roses on her doorstep each dayAnd twice as many quote lovers tryin’ to step through her doorwayThat would get my encore – pourin’ out their heartsNot knowin’ their game is futile from the start. Torn apartSome food for thought – I knew a quickee’s what you sought foolShe’ll run it your way but you gotta run it her way, too.But everybody slips sometimes. She ain’t a master of the craft.Thought she’d seen the gift to gab when this veteran checked inAnd checked out the merchandise not once but thriceA triple take on the real estate and put the move in fakeAnd kicked spectacular vernacular redefining smoothFinesse to bless and impress, so she had to moveTo her private chateau, up on the plateauAnd while she’s doin’ the talkin’, her silk stockin’sAre on the way down after a night out on the townConvinced her knight in shining armor’s now been foundShe thought she knew where this was goin’. What a pity.Rollin’ over in the morning – Surprise! – a couple fitties.Don’t get swept away by the undertowDon’t get caught up in the undertowThink twice before you test the undertowIt’s takin’ ‘you under. It’s takin’ you underShe’s looking for a god-fearing Christian man whereYou’re a bad man so repent all you canBut she don’t know how to show affectionAnd wouldn’t trip if I didn’t use protectionIf she gets pregnant, then that’s how it isBut I won’t get burnt, and that’s how it isDemanding a promise ring to flaunt to all her friendsAnd why I don’t rock the latest trends and latest BenzThe more you love someone, the bigger rock you buyShe gets what she wants, and then it’s baby bye, bye!She left four separate men at the altarHappened each and every time without falterI ain’t namin’ names, but I gotta keep it realI won’t be her Sugar Daddy payin’ all the billsMe and her together spell catastropheThe V won’t get caught up by the undertow, baby! You crazy!Yeah, you know what I’m sayin’You’ve got another thing comin’ if you think I’ll be takin’ underCuz I do the Cypress Hill mein, I ain’t goin’ out like that. That’s on theone.So, Aah, you better watch yourselfCuz the undertow comes in many shapes and sizesAnd before you know it, you’ll get caught up by the undertow too, too, too.Don’t get swept away by the undertowDon’t get caught up in the undertowThink twice before you test the undertowIt’s takin’ ‘you under. It’s takin’ you under
