Dizzy

[Verse 1] The last time I seen Dizzy Gillespie, he was smiling at me Singing to a southern sun, set back in Tallahassee Dare you ask me how many drugs I took on that morning I'm mourning for buttered biscuits Syrup over the pancakes, I killed that Glass of white milk, lungs still black The revolution won't be televised, it's tele-fine Get a call from Khadija, "How you living girl?", single 30 minutes later the sitcom is over Common coming over He trading me all his water for my chocolate I'm loving the music Digging the sounds, I'm hitting the joint I'm getting too high, I'm tweaking and shit My silhouette is talking to my shadow I'm drinking a bit, Cognac Somebody tell Jay Electronica I love him It's 3 p.m. and the sun is out [Verse 2] This is rally at the anti-violence rally raps With alley caps, I brought my yoga mat The culdesac was getting crowded, and I need my zen Sitting in the wind, city of the 'Go Lotion on my skin got me feeling super smooth Like I could save a life Like I could write a dissertation on virginity Tell a couple girls it's okay if you wanna wait tonight You ain't gotta rush, the satin and the red cotton sheets gonna be there Somebody tell Jay Elec' that I'm waitin' Nah, I'm playin', I'm waitin' for my Mister Man For the sippy cups on the floor of the minivan It's 3 p.m. and I'm sitting inside this coffee shop Thinking about my wedding dress, the violence in the city What if my soul-man already been shot? Skip that thought, walk to the bike, ride to the park Find a new god in the water Pretend like the grass getting greener And smile like Dizzy Gillespie, Gillespie
