Yeah, no doubt. I gotta look right for the nigga (Ha, ya know what I'm sayin'? A'ight yo, that shit gon' be ill) A'ight [Verse 1: Q-Tip] It was Friday afternoon in the middle of June Heineken bottle caps and the aroma of boom Around the time everybody just got home from class Shootin' dice, talkin' shit, hopin' the cash would last Yo, this was around the time when I didn't know no better Juney rolled around in a tinted-out Jetta [Verse 2: Phife Dawg] Then he introduced me to that hydro smoke And I took one toke, yo, I almost choked See, I never smoked before, so my nerves got shot Then he told me about the party at the spot Jamroc It was guaranteed on, but I said "Son, chill" There's a joint around the way that's supposed to be real, word [Verse 3: Q-Tip] He said we got all day, so we gonna do it right Hit your man's joint first and Jamrock in one night Then I said "Aight", then I hopped inside the Jetty Let me take a shower, I'm sweaty, and then I'll be ready Tonight is the night I get my groove on steady And get my drink on with that Ford named Betty I went upstairs to get fly, smoke my Thai Drunk some liquor, to meet my high quicker Now, I'm type stimo, the party is the M.O.
