Lyrics
[Intro] "Boogie (Boogie) Man (Man)" "This is your captain speaking, with just a little flight information Coming up on the left, we're going to be catching a glimpse of the Grand Canyon On the right, you're gonna be able to see the Hoover Dam in just a few minutes We're flying at an altitude of 37,000 feet And our airspeed is 400 miles an hour Couple little facts here – I'm packing a Colt King Cobra That's a .357 caliber firearm, with a black rubber-grip and a six-inch barrel Also, the co-pilot is carrying a Kimber Custom defense pistol With all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a custom gun of that kind With an alloy frame and bevel treatment on the entire gun And our Chief Flight Attendant Roger has a... uh, Ruger Bearcat That .22 with a hand-fluted cylinder All three are capable of piercing body armor at a distance of up to 27 feet And you can put a hole in human bone and flesh the size of the Grand Canyon Which, by the way, is coming up on the left-hand side of the plane So just sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of your flight..." [Verse: Yasiin Bey] From the top, la, la, la, la... La, la, la, la, lalalalala... La, la, la, la... la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Mentioned that he worked for the embassy People seem to find that interesting High status, intrigue and mystery Special code name on the hotel registry I love it when they say "Enjoy your stay" They say it how they mean it 'Cause that's how they been trained Show you to your room A suite with a view "When, if anything at all Do not hesitate to call" Nice! The greatest, the greatest Compliments, tooth brush, tooth paste, razors A Bible, a Qur'an in a drawer Or depending where you are Tend to whisper through the walls She was calling on God The greatest, the greatest Salutations, congratulations Reservations, exclusive arrangements Dinner with the patrons, the scenery is amazing It's so outrageous, they whisper when they say it When it's really real, it's even realer than 'The Matrix' Classic, modern, ancient, flagrant Get a special thrill every time they get to say it "Peace! I work with the embassy On behalf of Imagination Industry I come visit, you come visit Such a pleasure, official business" [Outro] La, la, la, la... La, la, la, la, la-la-la-la... (Boogie, Boogie, Man, Man) La, la, la, la...la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la The Embassy... greetings
