De La Soul - Nosed Up lyrics

And in from the door steps a
Dumbass struts the fool's gold
Know-it-all, and you wear it well
Funk less in full length
Too square to stand for anything
Somebody get that man a chair

No matter where you opt to sit
The opposite-attract law don't fit
Repel even the docile
Always showing your nostrils, got em hostile
The way you're so uppity
Till someone barks on ya you get puppy feet
Quite a laugh, cause you don't know half
But act like you own a puzzle
And everyone allegedly under you
Begging just to guzzle from
Your fountain of fresh (Hashtag)
Fuck outta here, they rather stay clear
Roll up the papers and pass
While you turn your nose from the smell
Like Stanley on Fridays
Saying we should stay off the grass
As if the lines you sniff is more healthy
Delusions of prestige is not
Where the health be
B, you need to get it together
But nah, here comes you, part Frank Drebin
Part Mr magoo stay stepping into trouble
Oh so when you're repping for your bubble
But bubbles can get popped
Exposed to reality watch the words that drop
There's not enough salary to cover the check
'Fore you're behind on cash
People can see you coming like 9 11 ash
Toxic till your last days
And with your shady maneuvers
No one will include you where they ass stays

Behold your royal highness of sinus
It's near 100 miles of running
Cause your nose needs plumbin'

Captain Nose-dive reporting for duty on
The good ship Handkerchief, all aboard
And that goes for you too, Nostril damus

He who knows nose
And from the from the rooty to
The tooty he defines snooty
Somebody asked me the other day
Is the brother a brother does Kleenex wipe?
Yeah I see that

Like you got one eye on top of your third
A star is born but
Whose claimin' that birthright
At first sight you the well
Dressed Park Ave sachet
Acclimated to the scent of your own tail
(the bullshit)
The same bull that rage when the buck stops
You'll be walkin' on clouds but
That's a smoke machine
See your dineros can't buy bliss
You high fist then
Turn into you flippin' the bird
And every man under your wing
You build your nest egg but
You was spoiled rotten
Forgotten you can get robbed of your fame
Beak out like pelicans
You relishin' the fact that you
Stand feet from stardom
You bargain astonishin' antiques in this
Modern way of livin'
So tight and not a half size forgivin'
You takin' the piss
You got a butler in duplex
Them two Tecs and our God won't protect ya
Can't stay in them white gloves
For too long Mr handyman
Canaries don't chirp in your candy land
Give them motherfuckin' pigeons a hug

And then he strolls through
The valley of dark nincompoop, simpleton
Stranger to his own father
Seldom down to get down

And just never stays up well, I'm yours son
We talkin' up there like a satellite

Species: canis lupus, unfamiliar
What's happening, dog?
You smell more like pig to me

La la la la la do do do do
Be careful with your nose bro la la la la la
Do do do do be careful with your nose bro
La la la la la do do do do
Be careful with your nose bro la la la la la
Do do do do be careful with your nose bro
