歌曲歌詞
One day while I was sipping some groove juice I realized that in the
Span of time we're just babies it's all relative time is unreal
We're just babies we're just babies man
We're just babies we're just babies man
We're just babies we're just babies man
We're just babies we're just babies man
Every man's a planet and the props are there to get it
Insects roll together with the spirit in our orbit
Life it comes goes and you do not punch a clock
I don't take sh*t for granted I think of Scott la rock
Also of tyrel and battles at the borders
My cousins in the joint and the homeless gripping quarters
The forests are all shrinking this deepens to my thinking
Don't cover up the nappy be happy witcha kinking
Dwelling yes you're Dwelling as the norm is itty bitty
Figure eighty fifty for a smidgen of the city
In the serengetti be ready for a box
But beware of the shanks and the pistols and the glocks
If your peoples don't getcha you still ain't off clean
The politicians' mask is worse than hallowe'en
I write the funky scripts so you know I got to kick 'em
Now tell me who's the vices and tell me who's the victim
So what is really what is really what
If the funk don't move your butt
And if the box don't make you hot
And if the cats don't dig the raps
If your life ain't got no spice
Or if the guns just wreck your fun
Or if some shouts ain't in the house
Or if your crew ain't down with you
Ladybug
Peace this is mecca the ladybug and I'm saying though what is really
What if I can't even get comfortable because the supreme court is
Like all in my uterus
Peace this is see know the doodlebug and I want to say what is what if
You can't walk through your hood with Bert Ernie and sesame street
Mossier trying to give the snuffleupagus
My father taught me jazz all the peoples and the anthems
Ate peanuts with the dizz and vibed with Lionel Hampton
Now I'm swimming deep in the hip hop with eclectics
Now do we gots the power or is it getting hectic
Scribble swings the paddle at the mantel where I placed it
Hip hop grew from roots but some emcees never traced it
The old jacks buck wild and some babies bore their fists
But the crew from outer space is here sh*t
We grew up digging styles of the fabulous fifth Freddy
And scoping out for days crazy legs and rocksteady
Now bleach is in the laundry same old beats is handy
The label may okay it but radio won't play it
The censors are about so watch your mouth close your drapes
The legs that's in the boots is on the corner watch your tape
Making papes off the crust for money and for lust
You're playing out the planets get slammed trust
You think it see it run it and slam it
They peep it hear it lynch it and ban it
It just ain't the haps if they know they can't control it
Your grass be in the joint but they licked it and rolled it
So what I'm saying what
What is really what is really what is really what
If the funk don't rule your cut
Or if the streets don't dig your beats
Or if my man ain't fifty grand
Or if the hoods don't think you're good
Or if your church don't really work
Or if the pigs want to knock your wigs
Or if the jeeps don't roll with beats
Cause butterfly is baby I'm just a baby man
I'm just a baby I'm just a baby man
I'm just a baby I'm just a baby man
And mister doodle I'm just a baby too
And miss mecca I'm just a baby man
And mister silk he's just a baby too
And 801 s they just babies man
And miss Venus she's just a baby man
The ac facts they just a babies man
And dps they just a babies too
Oh and dash she's just a baby man
Danny and dani they are my babies man
Oh and Liz she's just a baby man
Oh and Stella she's just a baby man
Doc Shane he's just a baby man
Mike Mann he's just my main man
And doctor timba he's just a baby man
And nappy Jackie she's just a baby too
Benefice cent he's just a baby man
Oh and you you're just a baby man
