Side to Side

[Lateef The Truth Speaker - Verse One]

When you first walked in and I saw you at the bar or somethin'

I ain't really wanna holler or nothin'

I just pegged you as the type for frontin'

Steady chucklin' with your girlfriends actin' contrary and cluckin'

But ya song came on, and somethin' changed in the way she was movin' along

Eyelashes caught flashes of the possibilities, maybe this one is the one for me

She's movin' to the dance floor, we'll see

What I seen was inspirational, highly motivational

Had to maneuver the set, up to confrontationals

Even though it was my chance to mack

I already did my dance, had the reservoir tapped

Hit me like a thunder clap, though

Can't let somethin' that fat pass BY, why asks why?

Made my way through the crowd with the side to side

Then I pushed up on the tush cause, uh, I ain't shy!

Said, "Excuse me Miss, but I liked what I saw"

When she spoke, I damn near dropped my jaw!

HELL NAW! I can't believe she SAID that shit!

I need to call my sister

Come up through and check this chick!

And put some sense in her, cause her IQ 'bout six

Bein' that, stu-pid in pub-lic there should be a law against

I mean, she didn't have a CLUE, tell you what to do

Just SHUT UP, ride the groove, and let's move now

[Hook 2X]

Side to side to side, times two now

Side to side to side, times two now

Side to side to side, times two now

Side to side to side, times two

[Gift of Gab - Verse Two]

When I stepped into the coliseum, I was slidin' through

Just bein' me, lovin' the space and lettin' everything be free

And bein' free to 'til I seen her, me, I popped up, solutions

Could it be? She was the one that could make me a believa?

Step through the crowd like a bobber and a weaver

Couldn't really see the crowd, all that I could see was HER

Looked directly in her eyes, all that I could see was blurred vision

Couldn't really tell if she was prime and ready furr pickin'

She was downin' that 'Yac in straight shots

Offered me a drink, I told her I was tryin' to stop

I thought to reconsider mackin', then she pulled off her top

And yelled, NEXT THING I KNOW, SHE WAS DOIN' THE WOP

She said, "Gabby, Gabby, Gabbyyy, you need to come and swig"

I said, "I think I'm cool, you need to find another nigga"

Baby, baby, baby PLEASE, then she dropped down to her KNEES

Then I had to leave, I didn't want to contract diseases

I said, "Don't take it personal, I think you need Jesus

You're movin' kinda fast, you need to stop and just breathe"

Hopin' she would get a clue, tell you what to do

Just SHUT UP, ride the groove and let's move, now..

[Hook 2X]

Side to side to side, times two now

Side to side to side, times two now

Side to side to side, times two now

Side to side to side, times two

[Pigeon John - Verse Three]

As soon as I walked in the DO'-woe-woe

The rati-o was in favor of me, cause as far as I could see

All the bitties on the FLO'-woe-woe

Was movin' in such a way in the heat, kinda made me wanna pee

Leavin' ME wanting MO'-woe-woe

But I was scared, of major defeat, cause I saw the girl Lateef

Was dancin' with sayin' NO-woe-woe

And Gab was wrestlin' with a freak who was topless

I was intimated to SHOW, any interest at ALL

I just stood still, pressed against the walllll (that's when I saw her)

Time froze, the ice around my heart e-RODED

Glasses she looked like a spy, wanna decode it

I said, "My name is Pi-Pi-Pigeon Johnny"

Stuttered a little bit, felt like a big DU-mmy

She said I didn't have a clue, she told me what to do -

She said, "SHUT UP and ride the groove"

I said, "Okay", like..

Side to side to side, times two now

Side to side to side, times two now

Side to side to side, times two now

Side to side to side, times two

[Intro to "Automatique" - Natalie Stewart of Floetry]

If you gonna be creative, y'know

You're ultimately offering yourself as a sacrifice

A sacrifice of, channeling something, bigger than yourself

And existing here at the same time, y'know

Being measured upon your words

When you're channeling yourself at higher than your state

Is a pre' serious, jump to take on

So, if they truly about, the word

Poetry, singing, writing, and drawing and painting

Or however it is, then y'know

Want us to realize we're here to record ripples of divinity, y'know

Ripples of mathematics, that's really what you're dealing with...
