[De La Soul - Simply lyrics]
Fear through time, is left
Behind, when we simply, havin
A wonderful time, a beautiful time
Leave the troubles you find at home
Take some time, and ease your
Mind, when we simply, havin
A wonderful time, a beautiful time
Leave the troubles you find at home
Hey, yo last day of spring
First day of the heat (heat)
I'm calling out my troops
So ya'll best retreat (treat)
Tryin' to win the eyes off of Little Bo Peep
While I'm pushin' Big Bird up Sesame Street
(street)
After one nut I'm goin' straight to sleep
(sleep) if it ain't a love affair
It's just a late night creep (creep)
Use Colgate when I'm brushing my teeth
(teeth)
Favorite MC's Greg Nice and Smooth B (B)
Keep it old school like
"Where's the beef?" and
If you ain't from an era
Then you up shit's creek (creek)
First B-side is freedom of speak
If you don't speak
Well I ain't losin' no sleep
See me on the cover of your Double X-L (L)
Takin' a holiday at the hotel (tel)
Fans keep sending me back the fan mail
Heavyweights keep it on th grand scale
When we doin' it
Chorus (Crowd Cheering and Clapping)
Hey, yo, The sky swallowed the sun
Spitted out the moon and stars
Puttin' out shiners that gave the cause
ArmorAll-ed down, the downtown activity
I'm bout to have fun without the
Problems that live with me
Not tryin' to be posh
But lets stay out the mosh pit
Tonight keep my nose out of trouble
Everybody in my bubble's been briefed:
No beef, just party!
Of course your gonna have some
Clown niggas try to take us off course
Always lower levels tryin' to bring
Out the devil in us
Not condoned but it's known
That a party ain't a party if the
Thugs don't try to shut it down!
Tight security and it's still soft
Can't offset the thirty or plus
Caught in the rush keep the door sealed
Cause the floor's filled with action
And we don't need
Any distractions tonight ya'll
I'm Tarzan and she's my gazelle
I live at Biggs and say it's notorious
Travel through minds, emotions and euphorias
Glorious (echo) as I get great (echo)
Still kinda smooth like way back
In my old school tapes i bring it pronto
Rep the BX like Billy Blanco
(Crowd cheering and clapping)
Treat your troubles like colds
Sweat it out, get it out
So we can get in the right mode let it out
No need to pull on the throttle
If I could bottle this
Love I wouldn't hesitate get it straight
Wonder why I can medicate the soul
While takin' it's toll
Just for Simply (Simply) Havin' (Havin')
The right record that could bring in the pull
And this must be the right one ya'll
Cause the dancefloor's full CUZ!
Chorus to fade (Cheering, Clapping, Horns)
Behind, when we simply, havin
A wonderful time, a beautiful time
Leave the troubles you find at home
Take some time, and ease your
Mind, when we simply, havin
A wonderful time, a beautiful time
Leave the troubles you find at home
Hey, yo last day of spring
